Anybody using these and would like to recommend one over the other. I am using Dermatch currently. Even though it works on my balding crown, i feel there is no difference between Dermatch and shoe polish. Nanogon or Toppik atleast have keratin fibres that bind the hair...

Nanogen >>>>>>>>>>>> Toppik, imo.

Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

any specific reason why? Have you used both products? What did you like with nanogen vs toppik?

I'm currently a Toppik user and looking for better alternatives if there are any.

I've used both products; I used toppik initially, and used for many months religiously (in tandem with dermmatch much of the time). However, I read some comparisons between toppik and nanogen that said nanogen was slightly favorable; that was enough to convince me to try it out. Having said that, my results with nanogen are simply superior; it seems to cling to my hairs much better, and produces a thicker look while also not appearing "sawdusty".

Dermmatch + Nanogen = mindblowing results for me. Individually, also, the nanogen works better than the toppik.

With a toppek-like concealer, be it not enough native hair or improper application, the result can look..."sawdusty". That is, it isn't clinging and latching onto your hairs well enough, and/or the color isn't matching up well. I think toppek is a good product, but I have yet to experience this effect with nanogen.

I've recently been even forgoing dermmatch and just using the nano as it is working so well; and even as a stand alone product, it is working extremely well. It takes like <1minute to apply, maybe another 1minute to fine-tune the hairline, which is BY FAR the hardest area for a concealer to do its job. Dermmatch application takes a bit longer, and is more...labor intensive....works great though, no doubt.

I have yet to use Toppik but I ordered some nanogen before the weekend and I am genuinely delighted with them. They're **cking amazing.

I prefer nanogen to dermmatch which was my previous choice of concealer but I quite like the idea of using them both. Does it really work?

also thanatopsis what is "Nanogen Hair Expander?"

you guys know of any website where you can order nanogen cheaply? I'm gonna try and add it to my dermmmatch

Good discussion. I've tried Dermatch and Toppik and definitely find Toppik much easier to apply as I strictly use it for the hairline area. I also got the 'pump sprayer' for Toppik and, well, let's just say quality control isn't very evident in their sprayers. The first 2 were okay, but eventually just clogged up and were hit & miss. Then, I took a chance and ordered one more and it is now great. About 3-4 sprays, then spray the hairspray that they sell and I'm all set to face my day.
