    So wait, that's not even 15% minoxidil is it? It's 15% azelaic acid and 5% minoxidil. No wonder it's so cheap.

    Thanks for the above info. guys!

    John,

    As far as azetinol goes, I think you may be right. I don't know if you follow Chris from hairlossfromsteroids/gll.com but his info. is usually on point and he has several YouTube videos indicating that lipogaine had removed azelaic acid. However those videos are dated so lipogaine may have added azetinol since they were posted. My research about azetinol seems to echo your post and it's likely that the name was changed for FDA purposes. Having said that, has anyone experienced any success with azelaic acid? The reviews are so mixed.

    Patiently waiting,

    I've been watching those sellers on eBay as well. Also, if you look at some of the products there is "iisolutions" which contains 15% minox and 5% azelaic acid. Like you, I'm inclined to give some of those products a shot because the sellers have excellent ratings. I've never used minoxidil before for fear of the initial shed and for fear of it eventually losing its effectiveness. However, I've read that Dualgen-15 (not sold in the US) is about the best you can do without propecia and it contains 15% minox and 5% azelaic acid. So I'm trying to find a similar product......only problem is how the hell do I know if the products contain the components they allege?

    current regimen: 100mg RU nightly, I-grow laser, azelaic acid cream (not sure if this does anything), regenepure DR

    I recently brought these treatment from the company mentioned and after a lot of searching they are the only company that sells high strength formula that is 100% legit they are no longer called polaris but under a new name and after a lot of digging around there R&D and corporate office is in miami USA with real address and credentials so it is no doubt they are inspected by the relevant authorities , Under strict rules despite being USA product they can not sell to the USA market for obvious reasons but they are very popular in japan and most of SE Asia and the only way a USA customer can by them is from offshore website which apparently one supplier for USA they charge £12.95 per order for shipping to USA but it is sent by DHL express and arrives in 4-5 days , Am currently Norwood stage 4-5 as seen on my picture with the solution flooded on my scalp am using there Topical Dusteride-D5A and Minoxidil with bimatoprost-FR10 since my hair loss is in last stages i also ordered a derma roller to my regime also since i just started a week ago would love to know if anyone else used them , They did sell on ebay for a while with 650+ 100% positive feedbacks so there must be many users out there.

    I saw the Polaris one too, but skipped mentioning it since it says only 3 available.

    I don't see any 15% minoxidil there, can you link me? They're all strangely worded "Azelaic acid and minoxidil (15%+5%)". I know that from this you have to be smart enough to know that he means it respectively azelaic acid 15% and minoxidil 5%, but it kinda looks like he's tryna play a bit of tricks there to be honest. Why not just title it 15% Azelaic acid and 5% minoxidil? It takes up the same amount of characters. My suspicion that he's trying to play around with the title becomes stronger due to the description of the item at the bottom also failing to mention in detail the concentration of the ingredients. Or am I just being paranoid and nothing is wrong or dishonest about this?

    If murray apothecary is still compounding minoxidil get it from them through medicalwellness center. Its expensive for the consultation+product but you can be sure that you're actually getting a higher concentration of minoxidil. Also I'd think about adding hydrocortisone to it.

    So as far as the Polaris goes, I don't think there's only 3. To paraphrase something I read the other day, these eBay "resellers" are actually the company itself selling its products that are not FDA approved in the U.S. I don't know if this is true or not, but from what I know of the hair loss industry thus far I would not be surprised. I don't want to spread my personal theories about big pharma but an effective topical would certainly be preferable to something systemic like finasteride so (a) I can postulate as to why they would be denied FDA approval (b) I can see why they would still try to sell their products under the guise of "resellers" on eBay.

    As far as 15% minox and 5% azelaic acid, I don't see that one up anymore. Polaris may be the best bet. The old reviews of it seem to be positive

    Where are the prices for the minoxidil? Do you first have to pay for the "consultation" and then you get to know the prices? It would be nice if I can see the prices first, then do the online conslt.

    Jesus Christ 30% minoxidil lol (medical wellness center). Has there been studies that such high concentration is better than 15%, or better yet is there any evidence that 15% is better than 5%, etc? I would buy the 30% if such a concentration would actually make a difference.

    Heart attack waiting to happen. Probably why rogaine never tried anything higher than %5 for approval because after that you can get blood pressure spikes.
