I have been using Rogaine 5% (Regaine 5%) since 2006 until now. Last night I discovered another minoxidil 5% but with azelaic acid 5% as extra DHT blocker plus some secondary ingredients. Does anyone has an idea of the product? Please share.

 

5% minoxidil plus 5% azelaic acid enhanced with retinol and caffeine, DHT blocker--DualGen-5

I really liked that company that makes it {mmax} i started using there products as they were cheap but i noticed after using their products for 4 months i lost all the blonde vellus hairs in my hairline that i'd had for years and my hair thinned so i suspected they weren't putting minoxidil in their formulas.

 

I decided to extract the crystal from inside one of their bottles and did the same from a kirkland bottle, regaine bottle and Dr Lees what i found was they all had some form of powder/crystal in but what i found in mmaxs dualagens looked completely different from the other 3 so i came to the assumption they were not using minoxidil in their bottles but they were putting something else in which wasn't minoxidil.

 

This would also explain how they can sell it so cheaply but these are just my thoughts i had no way of actualy testing the powder i extracted from their bottles so i decided to switch back to using regaine and what do you know my blonde hairs returned....you do the maths mate.

 

Azaelic acid was a extra part added by Dr Lee many years ago apparently it does help kill off dht but is not fda approved. I tried Dr Lees version for a year many years ago and found it actually made my hair look thinner i guess that it must have burnt my hair slightly with regular use but it never irritated my scalp.

Bonkerstonker! :D
