Formulation
Is the 5% Minoxidil concentration safe for daily use?+
Yes. 5% topical Minoxidil is approved for adult use and has decades of clinical and safety data. We recommend a patch test on the inner forearm before first use.
Why caffeine and saw palmetto?+
Caffeine has in-vitro evidence for inhibiting 5-α reductase activity; saw palmetto targets DHT through a different pathway. Together they complement Minoxidil's vasodilatory action without compounding cardiovascular risk.
Is it fragrance-free?+
Yes. No fragrance, dyes, silicones, or colourants. The light alcohol note you'll notice is the carrier solvent.
Can I use it with finasteride / dutasteride?+
Yes — many users do, under medical supervision. We are a topical product and do not interact systemically.
Use & Results
How do I apply it?+
Apply 1 ml (one full dropper) directly to a dry scalp, twice daily. Massage gently into thinning areas. Do not rinse. Wash hands after.
When will I see results?+
Most users notice reduced shedding around week 8 and visible density change between weeks 12 and 16. Consistency is the single biggest predictor of result.
Can women use it?+
Yes. The 5% formulation is suitable for adult women experiencing diffuse thinning. Pregnant or breastfeeding people should not use Minoxidil.
What if I stop?+
Discontinuing returns the scalp to its previous trajectory within 3–4 months. We're transparent about that — it is true of every effective Minoxidil product.
