Equate - Hair Regrowth Treatment for Men, Minoxidil 5%, Topical Aerosol Foam, 3 Month Supply

always am pleased with these products

Was delivered promptly and is as expected.

Wow... Maybe I just had an allergic reaction or are overly sensitive to this but I got the worst possible side-effects listed, immediately. After the first use, I noticed some minor redness and irritation on my scalp... nothing too crazy. Day two, the irritation and redness increased, and also moved down to my upper forehead. Waking up on day 3 I decided to stop using it as the symptoms had gotten exponentially worse (I read from others that potentially the chemical seeped into my pillow at night and got on my ears/face/neck). The irritation had progressed to almost hive-like bumps all over my scalp and forehead, my forehead and eyes started swelling up, I had huge bags under my eyes, and my skin got very dry and leathery... like some other users I read online who also experienced similar side effects, my face looked like it aged 10 years in just 3 days (barring the swelling which just gave me pumpkin face). I took several different antihistamines which had virtually no effect, which makes me think maybe I'm overly sensitive to the active chemical Minoxidil. What did seem to help was washing my pillows/cases, drinking lots of water, and doing some exercises to keep the blood flow up, and cold compressing the swelling. I'm pretty much back to normal 3 days later, but I had to take a day off from work and when I did return, had several coworkers mention "JESUS what happened to you?". From my personal experiences I'd give this 1 star, but I know many people probably won't have this severe of a reaction to this stuff. My recommendation: Start with 1/4 the recommended amount and go up from there... this stuff is gnarly and not something to fool around with!

This product competes favorously with Rogain.

No hair yet but hopeful

Good product, as advertised.

Thanks

After only 2 weeks the foam turned to a liquid and the company informed me in this liquid state it was no longer effective. After using twice a day for 6 months, this product didn't do anything for me. Do not buy this product.
