Hellouser's RU Log (with Minox, CB Nizoral and Saw Palmetto)

Not worth the effort for such small price

The Shoppers Drug Mart I went to I simply said to one of the pharmacists:

'Hi, I have a cream based treatment that my mom uses but its much too harsh. Would you be able to sell me some polypropylene glycol? I don't need much, just about 200ml will do.'

I've never had issues, they always had it stored in a container ready to be supplied.

I've tried 4 different local pharmacies now; none willing to sell or order PG.

Can't say what's going on.

The same happened to me...just get it on Ebay or Amazon!

You can get it from a local pharmacy, and if they don't have it they can order it for you, that's what I did. I got 500ml for around $7.

Should I try eBay for PG?

You're better off buying from Kane and buying pg/ethanol mix from mpbtreatments.

I wouldnt trust ID from past experiences.

Interesting remark UK_, Could you please explain more about it? I pre ordered 3 bottles from ID. Which ID past experiences did you mean? Thx.

Ethanol and pg is what ID is selling isn't it?

hell where did you pick up PG propylene glycol?

[hellouser]

Ethanol and pg is what ID is selling isn't it?

Yes, but I don't know what the concentration is. I'm using a 50/50 mix.

***small update***

Its been well over a week since I've started my CB regimen, and its gone like this:

Days 1-4: Ethanol/PG Vehicle: Shedding immediately decreased
Days 5-9: Oleyl/PG Vehicle: Shedding increased with each passing day
Days 10-12: Ethanol/PG Vehicle: Shedding decreased dramatically

I don't think Oleyl/PG is feasible, the amount of hair that I was shedding by the fourth day was terrible, between 30-50 hairs in the shower alone and more throughout the day.

A couple days ago I got back on the ethanol/pg vehicle and my shedding has decreased significantly. It takes more effort finding the hairs on my hands through the shampoo. Sometimes I'll wash my hair in the sink, which is actually a good way to tell how much hair is leftover. Can't do that in the shower as everything goes down the drain or gets scattered in the tub.

I don't think I'll be using oleyl/pg anymore. My scalp got VERY VERY itchy after the 4th application, it was getting worse with each day. The only positive about it was that it spread across the scalp under all my hair much better.

I'm still dermarolling weekly and applying Kirkland's 5% minoxidil 1-2 times a day and Nizoral 2-3 times a week.

We'll see how things go

Hows the CB going hellouser, you been on it about a week now. Just placed my order with kane. Also how are you storing the powder form mate?

I'm still shedding, quite a lot actually. 30-50 hairs in the shower and probably another 50 throughout the day.

I've got my CB stored in the freezer.

Guys, what is your opinion on Minoxidil 10%? I'm already using Regaine Minoxidil 5% once a day before bedtime and found out last week that MPB treatments are selling plain standard Minoxidil (custom strength):

http://www.mpbtreatments.com/#/shop/4563157000/Standard-Minoxidil-(Custom-Strength)/2140606

Whats your advice upon that? Would I upgrade my intake to Minoxidil 10% once a day instead of 5% once a day?

Need your golden advice.
