Been doing some research on other products that i might find useful if i decide to shake my regimen up. Along with Nano, Dercos, and Nisim shampoo, proxiphen, spironolactone, flax linigans as other possibilities i was wondering if anyone here has any experience with any of the Xandrox products, be it 5%, 12.5%, or 15%
Anyone, ???????????
Here is what skinbiology had to say,
Xandrox is a product from Dr. Robert Lee (picture to the left) who sells various mixtures of products for hair growth at http://www.minoxidil.com. Xandrox is consists of 5% to 12% Minoxidil and Azelaic Acid. Avoid the version of the product with Betamethasone Valerate. The latter is a corticosteroid included to counteract the effect of the Azelaic Acid which often causes skin irritation. Azelaic Acid, which is similar to retinoic acid, is normally used to treat acne and does have hair promoting properties in combination with minoxidil. Success rates on hair growth up to 70% are claimed. The versions without corticosteroids are basically OK.
The problem with the corticosteroid version is what happens with long term use? The long term use of corticosteroids on skin inflammations is usually causes a thinning of the scalp and this may hutrt hair growth. If you want to use these types of azeliac/ retinoic acid/minoxidil combinations, copper-peptides may help to control the scalp irritation.
