Senior Member djdennis Posted December 25, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted December 25, 2007 which is best for a dry scalp and flaking due from using minox? Thanks guys My Hair Loss WebLog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 djdennis, Both contain the same active ingredient ketoconazole so I would imagine that they would be approximately equal. I have found personally however, from using both, that too much use of Nizoral causes dry scalp and hair. I haven't experienced this with Revita. I'd be curious too what other Nizoral and Revita users have to say. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted December 26, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted December 26, 2007 Ditto here Bill. Nizoral dried out my hair big time but The Revita is very mositurizing and leaves my hair very nice..

Regular Member KamCal Posted December 27, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted December 27, 2007 I have recently ordered revita shampoo. I am almost 3 months post-op. I see some minor growth from my HT. Is it OK to apply revita shampoo on my scalp 3 months post-op or should I wait untill after all the transplanted hairs grow. My concern is that revita might be too harsh for my scalp at this time. Any thought? Kam 3664 Grafts with Dr. Hasson - Oct. 5th, 2007 My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member djdennis Posted December 29, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 29, 2007 Revita is tough to find in any pharmacy in the area I live. Just ordered some last night from online and they said it would take just a couple days to get here. My Hair Loss WebLog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HK500 Posted December 30, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted December 30, 2007 I have been using Revita shampoo for about 2 weeks now and my first impression is that it is a very good quality shampoo, it makes my hair fuller and softer, it's probably the best shampoo I have ever used so far, I can't say yet if it is contributing to slowing down my hair loss but it is helping in the appearance of fullness, it is certainly not increasing my hair loss, if anything, I see less hair in the sink than usual after I brush. To add thickness and weight I use Garnier Fructis leave in conditioner on wet hair after each shampoo and it has helped a lot.

Senior Member NervousNelly Posted January 16, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 16, 2008 Revita is a great shampoo. I started to use after glowing reviews from Mrjb.

Nizoral says to only use every 3 to four days for 8 weeks. do you guys just keep using it indefinitely? I haven't seen Revita at any stores and I would rather not have to order it...

Senior Member MrJobi Posted January 16, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 16, 2008 NG2GB You should give it a try. Ok, great, it has all of the Anti DHT properties which may provide some marginal hairloss benefits. But as far as the cosmetic effect, it is the best I have tried. Let's face it, its all about the illusion of density and if a product can assist with this, I am all over it.

Bill - Seemiller Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 From my research, it appears that ketoconazole may have some but marginal benefit as a stand alone product. In my opinion, Nizoral or Revita would make a better adjunct treatment if at all. Keep in mind that Revita only contains 1% ketoconazole whereas Nizoral 2% contains well...2% ketoconazole. Studies indicate better results for 2% however, the 1% study suggests some benefit as well. I believe that 2% only needs to be used a few times a week and additional use will not provide any additional benefit. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member petesman Posted January 21, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 21, 2008 just bought nizoral on on the leaflet in the box lists side effects and i quote.'hair loss has been reported rarely with nizoral dandruff shampoo, but this may have been related to the dandruff and seborrheoeic dermatitis'. i noticed a lot of people on this site use this product to help with their hairloss.. way would a product that helps with hair loss warn people that it might contribute to it? weird! 2200 DHI Ireland june 2007 Rogaine 5% may 2007 Lasercomb jan 2008 Nizoral aug 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted January 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2008 Pete That is probably their disclaimer for allergic reactions or something. all products can have this sort of reaction one way or another..

Regular Member taker Posted March 19, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted March 19, 2008 I was using Rogaine for 4 months before i started using Revita after about 2 weeks of using both, i noticed HUGE dandruff issues like snow flakes i was using head shoulders like twice a day to try to counteract it, but it would only give me temp results. than i found on a home remedies page that vinegar works to stop dandruff and it actually worked! but I use lemon juice or lime juice any acid will generall work i just splash it on and rinse it off, it doesnt do any damage to your head either but now i only use Revita 3x a week. so prevent it I use a differnt head/shoulders everyday with a conditioner as well and it is working quite nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ConorGillen Posted March 20, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted March 20, 2008 Bill, Is it better to use Niz 1% everyday or use Niz 2% 2-3 days p/ week? Does the 1% offer any benefits? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Rick055 Posted March 29, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 29, 2008 Revita is, quite simply, the best shampoo I have ever used. I believe in the efficacy of ketaconazole, I like having the other ingredients, and it does not leave my hair dry. Further, it makes my hair look a little thicker, IMO. 1.25 mg finasteride EOD Rogaine Foam 5% QD am Kirkland minoxidil 5% QD pm Nizoral Q2W American Crew Revitalize Shampoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsp6 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I've seen quite a number of users who use Revita in conjunction with Nizoral. Yet I have also seen some posts by people saying that 2-3x Usage of 2% Nizoral is enough for the week and anymore isn't needed. I want some clarification on this issue. Is using Revita in conjunction with 2% Nizoral of any benefit other than the nice feeling hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
