SABA Gel (Retin-A + hydrocortisone) results

[Jazz1]

I don't really know what one will work how much to use etc as I just use promox lotion which contains it etc. Get yourself a derma roller aswell that will help absorb minoxidil.

I have been on rogaine foam for about 4 years now and in the last few months only started putting it in my hairline. Do you think if I started using Retin-A it would increase the results seeing as I've already been on it for quite some time? My crown has started to thin slowly again as well as the top, but more or less I have maintained what I had since I started on fin+minox 4 years ago.

[Jazz1]

Yes it would help absorb it much better, if your starting to thin than it looks like your genes are starting to over power Fin. I would maybe look at alternatives like RU. Kane sells RU not expensive if you dropped FIN for RU, plus the vehicle is simple you can use neogenic 3ml mixed with say 20mg RU daily. A guy on hairloss help switched as Fin was no longer effective and now he's doing better on the above. I would also cut wheat out your diet has that causes insulin increase and inflammation, we all know growth can not happen when you have internal inflammation especially around the scalp.

Also guys don't use Saba gel daily forever, use it once you get regrowth, than switch it down to once a week.

The original SABA formulation had bethamethasome, i find it even working better. But you can't use it continuously, it is like 100x more potent than hydrocortisone.

Can you give me a brief summary on your regimen involving retin-a and anything else you use before you apply minoxidil. I am roughly a NW3a but thinning on top. I am slowly losing density, and ever since I started applying minox Foam since January, my hairline has thinned out noticeable. I would love to recover as much as I can and hopefully get back to a decent NW2, as youve done. Thanks in advance!

I never really mixed it I used them separate morning and night don't forget to derma roll once every 3rd week and appy that cream. Once you get growth cut it down to once a week the cream. If you want help counteract steroid use on skin, get some snail cream elicina and emu oil .

Do you just put the cream on your hairline? I want to start doing this asap, but I am thinning diffusely all over the top of my head. Is it wise to put the cream all over my scalp, or should I look for a gel or liquid based formula. Please let me know, thanks!!

I apply the cream slightly around both temples, little mid scalp and little on crown. I leave it on for 30 minutes then I spray 7 sprays of Promox 10% DMI two squirts on both temples two squirts on crown and one squirt around whole scalp. I just derma roll every 3rd week, I find with derma rolling every 3rd week I keep seeing more regrowth with applying the above, these 3 have done wonders. Now that I have regrowth I cut the cream down to once a week, but I also use Promox lotion morning that contains tretinoin to counteract the cream usage.

hi im applying all over the top of my scalp but start on the crown first and go forward from there, i do like to hold a mirror at back of scalp to see what im doing and it helps me to massage as well.

That's what I do use two mirrors, I would only use small about say £1 size and spread that at the points I suggested.
