alittle messy at first as it sometimes runs, but i must thoroughly wash face and ears after when it does run. Still worth the effort to get the hair longer on top

so far it appears to work..time will tell.

I use twice a day as directed. I have seen good results, although not astounding...but enough to justify what I am paying for it. I stopped for a while and definitely noticed more hair loss. Started using it again, and three months later, see a bit more hair, and loss has ceased again. It certainly hasn't given me a full head of hair, but I do believe it has kept me from losing much more, and grew a bit more at the crown.

I have been using Rogaine for about 5 years. I started right when I noticed my hair beginning to thin, which I think was key. It definitely prevented further hair loss and promoted hair growth...how do I know about the latter? Well I also use Propecia and about a year after using Rogaine, I added Propecia to the mix. I was working under the assumption that after 3 months of being on Propecia, I could then stop using Rogaine. Wrong! I tried that, and then I started thinning excessively. To the point that others were commenting on my balding. I quickly starting using Rogaine again, and I began to regrow the hair I lost! Now here's the down side - flaking. Rogaine, in it's liquid form, flakes off. This is something that can definitely be an issue, and it's something that you should be aware of. I tried Rogaine Foam, but it weighted my hair down and left a residue in my hair, giving it the appearance of being thin (Keep in mind, I have a full head of hair. If you were to see me, you would never suspect I was losing my hair). I actually use both. Foam at night and liquid in the morning. I do this to minimize flaking, for I do not notice an issue with flaking when using the foam. I normally wash my hair in the morning, removing the residue associated with Rogaine Foam. I hope that was helpful.

The liquid version dries my scalp and makes it itch. The foam version is better.

I have used this product for several years. It has not given me a full head of hair. However, only recently did I discover that I have perhaps been using too little volume? (I am a bit cheap person..) Anyway, whereas I previously only sort of maintained a little hair on top I now suddenly get a lot growing out and I am excited to see how much I will get in the end. So my advise is to try this product and use it for a couple of months and remember to use sufficient volume. Also, I see no reason to change to the foam varient- I have short hair and preventing the fluid from running down your scalp is not a problem. Just apply and rapidly spread out with a finger (and wash hands afterwards).

I use men's strength once a day. At first you experience more hair loss then that reverses (if if works for you). It works for me. I put it on before going to bed so I can have fresh hair during the day.

I was growing some hair after using the product for weeks, but my head itched every day and I started getting sores on top of my head. I quit using the product.

Would be nice if they had a travel size.

I like it. It works great!
