KÉRATENE Alphactive ® Retard

[HARIRI]

Hariri,

I have been on it for 10 days now, no serious side effects.

Are you taking one capsule a day or two capsules a day?

[yeahyeahyeah]

Thanks for the update guys, can you all post before after pics.

Even if your hair looks the "same" after 6 months its a success, means you are maintaining.

Been on one capsule per day. I might raise it to 2 this week.

if you're having adverse reactions to minox you should go to a sauna or russian/turkish bath house, not use it for a couple of days, and never use it after showering. i thought i was allergic to it for months and read about it going to the sauna online to remedy the situation. BOOM! back in business baby. seriously. no joke! just don't use too much. i don't come to this site often anymore, so i'm not interested in a conversation but this will definitely help!!!

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Me too. I love online sauna's

Interesting, keep us updated

Hariri,

Sure - will do. Where else will I go?

On a side note, it has been said that people with high DHT have oily skin. I have been having oily skin (especially on the face) since many many years now. Do you have similar problem? and did it reduce while you were on propecia? Just asking since I am hoping that Keratene will reduce the skin oiliness as well.

Yes i have an oily face that I can fry an egg on it under the sun lol. That is why I usually wash my face 5 times a day and try to use oil clear facial sheets whenever I am in the construction site. I also have dandruff since 18 years old. I'm using Alpecin Double effect shampoo which has Caffeine and Salicylic acid everyday and use Nizoral shampoo 2% once a week to control it. However I remember that when I was using Propecia, my dandruff reduced a lot. I don't know if this related. I'm actually thinking to upgrade to two capsules a day next week since I didn't get any sides and my libido got higher.

I've been on one capsule a day for 4 weeks now. I think I might be going through a shed because i see so much hair on my pillow that I never used to see before. and all the hair thats on the pillow is the smaller weaker hairs. Am i right in thinking this is a shed?

[Conpecia]

Sounds like a shed at 4 weeks, particularly if its the weaker hairs. I'd say stick with it another 2-3 weeks and reevaluate.

Interesting, it means that it works. I remember when I was on Finasteride (Propecia). I had some shedding of weak hairs by week three. Great sign buddy.

Are you trying to upgrade your dosage to the recommended one (2 capsules a day)?

I'm not sure about increasing the dosage yet, its because my DHT levels before taking anything were 312 pg/ml which is within the normal range, it seems i just have high sensitivity to DHT. I am considering taking another DHT test to see how much its been dropped by, but the test is really expensive, it costs like Ł140

This makes a lot of sense. Then stick with one capsule a day. Wish you all the best. My DHT levels for sure above 1000 pg/ml, otherwise Finasteride would not have worked on me before.

Apart from that,since you have been taking the capsules for a month now, are you seeing any general improvement in existing hair condition (hairs getting thicker, etc)?

Hariri,
I havent taken Finasteride before. If Keratene doesnt work I might have to resort to Fin. Can you please elaborate on after how long did you start seeing improvements with Fin?

To be honest, I cant give all the applause to Finasteride as I was using Minoxidil 10% along with it. However I felt the results of Finasteride by month 3. I started taking it on December and by March I was wowed big time, even my fiancee that time when I returned home was impressed with the results after being away in UK for my higher education. She couldn't believe her eyes, it turned me from NW3 to NW2.

You should take the recommended dose of 2 capsules a day and wait for 3 months in order to see a clear result.
