Regaine Spary v Foam

[Fivehead89]

Hi Guys 

 

3 weeks post op and I have started Regaine I thought I ordered the foam but it the solution in a spray bottle.

Is the foam better? Foam what my Surgeon recommended but I have opened now and used the spray. 

 

Cheers

Both are good products...it's just a matter of the delivery...some like the foam because it does not run like the liquid form...just make sure the strength is what you need, i.e. 5%.

I can only speak for myself, but the foam did absolutely nothing for me. I think the liquid form penetrates much better for me personally.

For me, the foam version induced a major shed cycle, however the liquid form never did.

Thanks Gillenator

I read online that the liquid tends to cause more reaction with the scalp and can discolour the hair. The propylene glycol in the liquid is quite harsh on the skin which can effect the absorption  - thats why they invented the foam. But they are saying the absorption of the liquid is much quicker if it does not cause any reaction.

I’ve used both, I prefer foam. Both seam to work for me, but the foam feels less greasy and the spray also causes some redness and mild irritation which the foam doesn’t

Liquid gave me TERRIBLE  dandruff.  My whole head was white and flakey. Had to stop fairly quickly only use foam now.

For the first one, but as soon as the foam was launched in the UK I used that. It was dr hasson that recommended it as he saw the irritation of the scalp during the surgery

In my experience the cheap liquid causes irritation. The kirkland minoxidil is horrible and causes dandruff and scalp irritation. I use Lipogaine and that actually dries quickly and causes no irritation.

To the many people including me that are highly allergic to a chemical they put in the liquid Minoxidil called (PG) Propylene Glycol  stick with the foam the foam don't contain it

It's always a good idea to read the label on both the liquid and foam products and compare the inactive ingredients.
