Men or women's rogaine?

[xyz111]

Reading "offical" websites, it says women should only use the women strength minoxidil/ rogaine. But then I've heard so many therapists say women can use the men's version. So why do offical sources say women's only! It's so confusing 🤦🏻‍♀️

I follow a few dermatologists who say women can use the men's version but I think just once a day

Yeah I think that's the difference, as for men it's twice. But why not just say that? But then Boots and Superdrug website both says only use the women's strength. I don't want to turn into a hairy yeti 🤣

I'm currently using the women's one, I'm about a month in to it and it's causing even more hair loss. Apparently this is normal and means it's working but it doesn't feel like it!

There’s a 2% minoxidil and 5% minoxidil formulation for either sex. The 5% minoxidil version (Extra strength Regaine) is only licensed for women to use once a day but it’s the same ingredients as the men’s 5%.

Also I’m guessing you’re in the US as you call it Rogaine, it may be licensed differently there than the UK.

In the UK, the 5% formula is exactly the same for both men and women. The only differences are the instructions on the packaging and the PRICE. The men's version is significantly cheaper. It's a sexist scam. I've been using the men's one for years and have not grown a beard!

yes it's just licensing. Same ingredients, but with pink tax on the women's one. Have been using generic "men's version" 5% with great results myself.

Yes I've read that loads and it's a positive thing as it means new hair is getting ready to come. But that is a worry nonetheless!!

I forget it's regaine over here (I'm uk). Im so used to hearing it called rogaine and The Hangover was on tv the other night with the woman morning he hadn't been using it 🤣
