5.0 out of 5 stars Why buy Rogaine?, April 28, 2010

This product works great. I've been using it for over a year now to deal with a receeding hairline. The product says that it only works on the crown of the head (not hairline), however, that is only because the clinical testing has only been looking at the crown of the head. Real-world experience shows over and over that it works both on the crown and hairline.

Compared to Rogaine, it's a no-brainer. They both contain the same active ingredient but Kirkland minoxidil is about 1/3 the price. If you want to donate to Rogaine's advertising campaign then buy Rogaine, however, if you're only interested in your own hairloss then buy Kirkland minoxidil. Trust me, I'm a chemist, they both contain the SAME active ingredient.

Did it work for me? Yes, so far? Will it work for you? I have no idea, but this 12-month supply will give you your answer at a bargain price.

I asked my doctor and he said that yes, indeed, Minoxidil (generic Rogaine) will grow back hair on some people. Seeing this bargain price and noting that this item takes time to work, I couldn't pass it up. It comes in (12) 60ml bottles, each with a dropper. You slowly drip one ml of fluid on your scalp or the Vertex, which is the top back section of your head. Do this once in the morning and once in the evening noting that it takes 2-4 hours to dry. What? Yes, it's mildly sticky, like fresh hairspray. I use one finger to dab it around my scalp. I even tried placing a little in the front above my temples where I am receding. I found I have to carefully comb out my hair and it looks like it might be slightly wet. It maintains its stickiness for a few hours. I didn't care for that part of it.

UPDATE: At exactly three months now, I can see ¼" to ½" hairs growing on my Vertex (nothing in front, as Kirkland readily says). My hair came in as it is; thin shafts of silvery grey. It is nothing dramatic at all. But there is defintely no hair loss as well. I'll continue to use this for the year and see how much growth I can achieve. Kirkland does say that if not used, your hair recession will begin again after three months. For the price, it's worth it considering that Men's Rogaine Foam-Rogaine Hair Regrowth Treatment, 6/2.11 oz. cans (6 Month Supply) costs twice as much for only six months. After a year, I'll make a decision. I'd be wiser to go to the gym more often. Also, someone mentioned that it is poisonous to pets and my cat likes to sneak up on my work chair and lick my hair. I'd still recommend trying it and reading all the reviews you can find.

UPDATE: It has now been six months of regular daily use of Minoxidil. I suspect I have reached my threshold. I am no longer losing my hair, that is clear. However, I do not see any new growth since around three to four months. The circular pattern that predates the male pattern baldness on my vortex has disappeared and the 'ring-like' appearance has diffused into the rest of my hair. No doubt this is a big improvement over six months ago. There is also no new growth in the front near my temples as is stated on the product. However, I will continue to use up the 12-month supply and make a final decision. I still think for the price and the results, this product is worth it.

This product is so much cheaper than Rogaine, and it works! According to the instructions, it is only for men and for crown of their head. Well, I'm not recommending that people break the rules, but here's my experience: it works for women, and even for my receding hairline in front! Yes, it does make you hair thinner for the first 2 month, and that was depressing; however, it does wonders after that! I have new hair growth on parts of my head that were bare for years! It is a bit of a hassle to have to apply it twice a day though. However, if I don't have enough time for it to take the 2 hours to dry in the morning, I blow dry it with warm (not hot) air. I'd highly recommend this product. However, if you start this, don't stop! You must be committed...for the rest of your life (or until you get hair transplant surgery). I have a friend who started using it, and then stopped, and he never saw results. However, I tried to convince him to start again, and I showed him my results, and now he's trying again. Definitely try this product. If you don't see results in 6 months, then give up, but at least try it!
