To all forumers
I've been doing some research on the net about minoxidil 5% (regaine, rogaine, kirkland and etc)
and I have a question.
For those who are currently using it or have been doing so for years,
what EXACTLY is the side effects of this product??
I'm particularly concern about the sexual side effects, I have 2 bottles of regaine at home, but till now haven't open it
kind of scared actually
please do clarify, tq
Hi I can help you there
Okay Rogaine
First, this does work,it gave my mid section a real improvement in growth and thickening of the hair.
Side effects: dandruff and a dry scalp. Basically, this product is very drying to the scalp so yeah....you will have hair but it will look kinda dry and it might stand "up" in a way. Well , I just couldn't get the lush look for sure, and if you have long hair it will look bad so just cut your hair short.
Kirkland
I switched because this was way more affordable in the long run.
Side effects: Again, dandruff and a dry scalp. If you scratch your scalp lots of fluff and dandruff will come about.
And most important..this happened to me. Small hair growth under your eyes. So you will look like a cat. Now before you get scared, these hairs are extremely thin and very little so noone will notice unless they are an inch from our face. I can't stress how insignificant the growth is because most people get scared after hearing this. Well let's just say you can count the number of hairs,like 5. They look super thin, like erm,,like your hair on the forearms-palm facing up, so it didn't really demotivate me to stop using kirkland.
side effects on sex drive and libido..none to be honest. Okay dude, let's just say I have f***ed and masturbated almost everyday and my sex drive hasn't been going away, I have been on rogaine/kirkland since 2008.
