## Description

Compare to Men’s Rogaine Extra Strength active ingredient. Don't let thinning hair get you down. desertcart Basic Care Minoxidil Topical Solution USP, 5 Percent is an extra strength topical hair loss treatment used to help regrow hair on top of the scalp (vertex only). This unscented product reactivates hair follicles to stimulate regrowth and is clinically proven to help regrow hair. It is not intended for frontal baldness or receding hairline. Minoxidil is the number one dermatologist recommended active ingredient (of U.S. physicians surveyed by an independent market research firm). This product is not intended for use by women. Features an easy to use dropper.

Review: Crazy Hair Growth with Consistent Use - Crazy Hair Growth with Consistent Use I’ve been using this desertcart Basic Care Minoxidil 5% topical solution for a while now, and the results really are impressive. I was a little skeptical at first, since hair regrowth products can be hit or miss, but with consistent twice-daily application I noticed small new hairs popping up around my thinning areas after a few months. The real change came around the 4–6 month mark, when the growth became fuller and started to blend naturally with my existing hair. Application is straightforward with the dropper—just make sure to apply directly to the scalp, not the hair. It does leave a bit of residue if you use too much, so I learned to let it dry fully before styling. It doesn’t have a strong odor, and I haven’t had any irritation issues, though people with sensitive skin should watch for dryness or flaking. One thing to keep in mind: this isn’t an overnight miracle. You need patience and consistency, otherwise you won’t see the benefits. Also, if you stop using it, the new growth tends to shed over time, so it’s really a long-term commitment. Bottom line: If you’re serious about tackling thinning hair, this is an affordable, effective treatment that delivers real regrowth—crazy hair growth when used faithfully.
Review: Miracle in a bottle - but not for everyone (stats below) - Thrilled to say it's working great for me! Will it work for you? Statistically speaking - Probably. (But a lot more hair might fall out at first - don't panic! It's a good thing.) And if you want to make some babies in the near future, use this, not finasteride (more on that later). I did a lot of reading. One study of about 1,000 men had some solid stats. About 62% percent of men using 5% minoxidil (same as Rogaine) reported a reduction in hair loss. Regarding hair regrowth, 16% rated it “very effective,” 48% rated it “effective,” 20% rated it “moderately effective,” and 16% rated it "ineffective.” Based on that, there's a good likelihood you'll get some benefit from using this as directed (1 ml, applied twice daily). At first, you might wonder how there's a reported reduction in hair loss of only 62%, but a much higher reporting of hair regrowth by 84% of participants. They're two separate issues. You could still keep losing hair, while also experiencing hair regrowth. Seeing bald patches disappear is different from seeing hair that's fallen out during regular washing, if that makes sense. From my personal experience, I both have less hair loss, and more hair growth in the "very effective" range. But as is common with a lot of people, for about a three week period when I first started using this product, I had a LOT more hair loss than I had previously. That's common. It has to do with the cycles of hair follicles. Seeing the old, weak hair falling out is a good sign that the stuff is working. You just have to ride it out. Surprisingly, the bald patch I was developing did not appear any larger or any thinner when I was in that phase. Please note - I'm 49, and that matters. Based on my reading, minoxidil is most effective in men 40 or younger. I'm happy to have it work as well as it has for me. I also wasn't totally bald, but getting really thin up top (see the pics). Minoxidil is most effective for men who have male pattern baldness that runs in the family. That's basically just guys in the fam slowly going bald as they get older. Most people with bald spots fit that category. While this review is mainly geared toward guys, I'll briefly address women interested in minoxidil. From a study I read, "19% of women ages 18 to 45 using Rogaine for eight months reported moderate hair regrowth, while 40% had minimal growth (compared to 7% and 33% for placebo, respectively)." Women don't need this 5% liquid formula. They tend to find either 2% liquid, or 5% foam the most effective. Some places plug using minoxidil in combination with finasteride, a tablet medication. Some people just use finasteride, and it's pretty effective alone or in combination with minoxidil. But BEWARE. If you want to make a baby anytime soon, stick just with minoxidil. Finasteride, even in low doses, can reduce sperm count. I've also read that pregnant women should not come in contact with finasteride, as it can effect the formation of the fetus. Yikes! So there are a few big, red flags against finasteride. Finally, this is the best price I found for 5% minoxidil anywhere, 6 bottles (6 months) for $32. At $64 per year it'll still be cheaper than a hair transplant that costs (many) thousands of dollars. I will probably eventually switch to using it just once per day. If I retain what I've grown, then my annual cost will only be $32. Couldn't be happier with this product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Claim can't use for women but say have one for women won't tell where to get it can't find on amazon so where to buy   for women?**
A: Initially, the FDA had not approved the 5% strength for use by women, but that changed in 2014 when the FDA changed their position and DI approve the 5% minoxidil for use by women, although they recommend women use it only once a day rather than twice a day as recommended for men.  (The 2% strength is approved for twice a day use for both men and women.)  For whatever reason, some manufacturers have never changed their literature to reflect the updated FDA information.  There  is NO difference between the men's product and women's product except that the women's version is often priced higher (that "pink tax"). Check the ingredients on both, they are the same. see less

**Q: What is the expiration date?**
A: Thank you for the opportunity to address your question.
Unfortunately, the expiration date is going to vary from box to box; this information is not available until you receive the product. We do not stock our products with less than an expiration date that is 2 years away.

**Q: How do you use this? Do you apply the drops when your hair is wet or dry?**
A: Hi, thank you for your question about Minoxidil. This product is applied to dry hair, using the dropper that is supplied. You fill the dropper up to the 1ml line and apply it to the scalp parting the hair, applying the medication, rubbing it in, and parting the hair again and repeating the process until you have massaged in the 1ml of the Minoxidil. Should you have any additional questions feel free to contact us back.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absurdly great product for savers, bad product for those who don't care about cost.
*by K***R on August 14, 2020*

5 stars for the price and quantity, 4 stars objective for the product overall. This DOES work, it is NOT a scam product. Keep in mind that this product contains a topical treatment that is shown to work for only around 2/3 of those who use it. There is a solid shot it won't work for you. That is not the fault of this particular hair loss treatment. There may be side effects. For some, this will work and there will not be any side effects. For others, it will work and there will be side effects. This is me and most others. For some, it won't have any effect at all. For the least lucky, it won't work and there will also be side effects. This both is and is not the fault of this product. This product uses an alcohol solution to evaporate more quickly, which is their alternative to the more costly foam products. Due to this, YOU SHOULD EXPECT DRY SCALP AND DANDRUF. Some may not experience this. I've had perfect skin and scalp for 38 years, but have been thinking g for a few and decided to try this product. I have had a TON of dandruff, but simple antiz-dandruf shampoo - something I've never needed before - has it under control. The biggest flaw of the product is that it is a liquid solution instead of a foam. That is both because of the above described dry scalp/dandruff issues, but also because unless you have very short hair or take a long time in the morning before you go to work, you will very have wet hair around your treated area for about an hour. I wake up early now before work just to apply this product. Further, due to it being a liquid, expect it to run down your neck and face. This doesn't hurt you, but it is an annoyance which should be addressed in a product review. Were this product not both so inexpensive for the quantity, it would be a 3 star product. Works, but big pain in the rear. Due to the fact that it costs less than most 3 month supplies while having 6 months of supply, though, I give it 4 stars. If this were this a price/quantity issue alone, I'd give it 6 stars. Its cheap, it works, you get a lot of it,, and its not so much a pain in the butt so as to detract from the positive effects. I'd rate this a buy for most people, but if you don't care about money then get a foam based product instead.
