Key ingredients
- Minoxidil 5% w/v (50mg/ml) – the active medicinal ingredient. It helps slow androgenetic hair loss and promote hair regrowth.
- Propylene Glycol – helps dissolve minoxidil and assists distribution of the solution over the scalp.
- Ethanol – functions as a solvent and helps create the quick-drying topical solution.
- Purified Water – forms the aqueous base of the treatment.
How to use
- Make sure the hair and scalp are completely dry before application.
- Apply 1ml to the total affected area of the scalp twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening.
- Spread the solution over the affected area.
- Wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.
Do not exceed 2ml in a 24-hour period. Continuous use is required to maintain the benefit, and temporary increased shedding can occur during the first few weeks as the hair-growth cycle changes.
