If these results are correct then why isn't more being made of this and where is this product currently?

Interesting read , a bit of google searching brings this up .
The testimonials at the bottom of the page are quite strong too

I'm not sure why there hasn't been more discussion of Capixyl. I actually started a thread on Capixyl back when the product was launched and got accused by one of the other forum members of being a shill. For the record, I didn't want anyone to go out and buy this stuff (and I don't think anyone should buy it now either), but I was hoping there would be more discussion about its proposed mechanism of action.

One of the problems with Capixyl is that it is ridiculously expensive. The last I heard it was quoted $100 USD for a bottle that was supposed to last one month or three months, I'm not sure. I might bite the bullet and trial a new product at $10/bottle. But at $100/bottle? Forget it. I'll wait till I see convincing clinical studies and before and after photos or multiple trusted forum members start to sing its praises.

This brings me to my other concern with Capixyl, and that is that there are still no good before and after photographs. The ones I've seen looked like garbage, with barely any visible improvement, and certainly nothing that couldn't be accomplished with the usual camera trickery we see with so many scam products and treatments. If the product works as indicated, why can't the manufacturers/distributors put together more convincing photos?

What initially appealed to me about Capixyl was that it purported to address hair loss by fighting inflammation. For the past year, I have suffered from an itchy and inflammed scalp, which I feel has been a contributor to my hair loss. For now though, I have my doubts that Capixyl will do anything, but I'm trying to keep an open mind.

If you order 4 bottles - it's $47.25 each.
I'm interested - but I need to see proof!

Check out the picture of Dr. Varton Libaridian, the creator of Hair Demand. Apparently Capixyl didn't work for him!

You mean this?

hm... very poor info on him.
I'd like to see a pic how he looked like BEFORE he created it.

You won't find any real proof that capixyl works because there isn't any. It's a scam.

Ok, fair enough.

Do you have any proof for that?

agree with tracy

The burden of proof is on the people trying sell Capixyl. That said, I do find it to be a bit annoying when people make one sentence postings along the lines of "this is a scam treatment." It doesn't contribute anything to the discussion, and it comes across as a glib, uninformed opinion. I wish people would at least outline their reasons for thinking one way or the other.

I personally think Capixyl is probably a scam. I think the community should be highly skeptical of any treatments that aren't undergoing three-phase clinical trials, and the more time that goes by without acceptable before and after photos, the more convinced I am.

one mans scam is another mans cure!

i wouldnt rely soley on forum judgement when deciding to try out a product. What ive learnt over the years ive been coming here - what works for one person may not work for another due to various variables hence why some people consider some products scam/snake oil, what actually matters is, if a product works for a statistically significant number of people then its safe to assume you have a high chance of it working for yourself if you decide to try it out.

Ive also learnt baldness takes years to kick in so its safe to assume it can take many months/to years before you can see any results, the main reason is because of the nature of the hair cycle.
