I've been using this product for 5 years. It's one of the most economic and recognised form of hair loss treatment. As I’ve read, I've saw a light hair increase in the first months of the treatment. After, no more new hairs but at least the hair loss are so small that I have the feeling it has completely stop. Knowing this, I would have begun sooner. However, remember that one you began this treatment, you cannot stop.

I've been using Minoxidil for over 5 years. Whether it works - I don't know. Would I have less hair if I didn't use it? I don't know. But I keep using it just in case it is saving some of what hair I have left.

Are losing your hair? Is there more hair on your brush or in your shower drain lately? Does Minoxidil work? Ahhh define work. Yes it works. Everybody different, for me I noticed my hair getting thinner, more in the drain and on the brush. So I gave Kirkland Signature Minoxidil 5% a shot, what did I have to lose...ahh more hair..that's already happening. I applied as directed and within a week I noticed my hair stopped falling out. That's a plus right there. Application of the product can be tricky because you want it on your scalp vs your hair, which can be helped by using a narrower dropper (not the supplied one) and tapping on the scalp and squeezing the bulb lightly. This stuff takes a while to dry and styling your hair may be tough depending on your style but you can just use it at nighttime, 1/2 the dose is better than nothing, it'll take twice as long to get results depending on how you respond to it. What to expect, this is my experience, you may have better results or not so, focus on the positives. The before breakdown: Gender:I'm a male mid to late forties Baldness: mild, vertex large to medium, frontal thinning Usage: 2mils daily, morning and night, 4mils daily total across whole top head and crown vertex area(I wear a hat during the day, lucky I guess) Duration used: 1.25 years The after breakdown: Results are slow, this is not a fast product, patience is a definite must. I found at the 2-3 month mark my head was getting itchy, my thinking was my hairs are coming in or it was prop glycol irritation, don't scratch only rub. For a few days I'd back off treatment (once a day) and at night wash hair and coat head with hand lotion and leave it in overnight (just do it early enough to let it dry), sounds silly but worked great. When itching subsided after a few days I continued my 4mils a day treatment as usual. With my scenario my results got me 50% in the Crown vertex area it's easily covered up by styling across the area, front thinning area did fill in nicely at about 75% better than without and hairline maintained itself. Brush and drain are pretty much hair free still. I do recommend this product but as a part of a regimen with other products, I maintain my schedule using Kirkland Signature Minoxidil 5% about 6 days a week. The other products I use is Emu Oil, I add a few drops in nighttime minox solution and it lubes my heads (great for scalp/skin), assists in the absorption, and inhibits a follicle clogging enzyme. Lastly, Poly Sorbate 80, research it, this stuff is amazing, it's a sebbum remover, the crud that clogs your hair pores. The other amazing thing about this is that it's a hair thickener. I know who'd a thought. What I do: I use in the morning with my shower shampooing, shampoo once as usual and rinse and shampoo again with a quarter size glob of shampoo, lather up the head and with a dime size glob or more add the Poly Sorbate 80 to the lather, you'll notice the lather diminish a little and the hair feel squeaky, just work it in to your scalp and leave in for 5-10 minutes, then rinse. If you research Poly Sorbate 80 and hair loss you'll find articles on it. Poly Sorbate 80 is perfectly safe, you actually have eaten it on occasion, it's a food additive to thicken like in mayonnaise. Look up: Magnesium oil and Aztec Clay Hair mask too. Sorry to be so lengthy but I'm just trying to helpful, I think Kirkland Signature Minoxidil 5% Extra Strength Treatment is great when used in my regimen. L8rRead full review
It works as says but I use after shower (with slightly damp hair) or else my hair gets really greasy and remains that way. Using it right after a shower when my hair is slightly damp has prevented that mostly. Other than that for the cost it is highly effective and I will likely be ordering from the same retailer again for the great price. 3 month supply.

I noticed changes after a week or two. It does work, but im only about 2 months in. Ive tried using it 1-2 times a day, usually over night. Excited to the results for the next months. eventho it's slow, it works. you just need to be consistent. Another tip is useing other products for moisture if your skin is dry. Also if your scalp is itchy on a daily, you could lose hair do to that too.
