Jazz - do you still use Susan's formula? I've finally run out of the two bottles I bought last October and was wondering if a) you still recommend the product and b) you think we will still have issues with customs when getting it delivered to the UK?

Hey I still use her product as it works well for me just like Dr kleins formulas worked, so I always recommend her lotions ontop of the Big3 first. I never have issues with customs destroying my package, only issue I have sometimes is I get hit with a customs charge!

Only 0.1% fina ?
Hasson An Wong use a 2.5% fina in a gel !!

I use Azelaic Acid at 7% in a liquide lotion
1.5% is very poor !

2.5% Fina is like taking 2.5mg tablet per day when the recommended dosage is 1mg.

1.5% is not poor and Susan now uses 5% azelaic acid only!

[Jazz1]

won't too much acid burn?

Everyone reacts differently, Dr Klein used 1.5% and the picture studies showed how effective 1.5% worked in conjunction. Than again Dr Richard Lee used 5%, so I would stick to the ones that worked .

Whats is in your mix.

I have 12% minox
AA
retina a
hydrocortisone

i was thinking of bumping up to 15% minox. I was afraid of side effects jumping from 5% so i thought 12% was a good start, as recommended by susan herself. Also when did you notice a shed? I think I'm going through a shed currently, no regrowth as yet. been using since march 9 2015.

Why don't you bump up to the formula I use:

15% minoxidol
0.1% finesteride
5% azelaic acid
0.025% tretinoin
0.25% progesteone
0.1% Hydocortisone
DMI

Yes. It definitely helps with absorption of topical treatments - you can tell because less residue is left on your scalp. However, it is widely accepted that a 1.5mm is the best to use and they are really painful on the skin. To me it hurt as much as getting a tattoo done.

Thanks for the tip, I use to Roll and I think I might start again as I have brand new expensive Dr Derma rollers I bought in the past!

When you recently started rolling is that when you noticed the new hairs? Maybe it helps reach the lotion even deeper or possibly the wounding effect has helped heal the damaged follicles.

1. are you taking oral fin along with the topical, and whats your regimen? do you use each every other day?
2. is the progesterone a dht blocker?

Hi Guys -whats the difference between Fin and azelaic acid? - they are both DHT blockers - correct?

I hear side effects about Fin but nothing on azelaic acid

appreciate the feedback

thank you

[warner8]

fin is a lot stronger, systemic, and more proven effective dht blocker. if ur gonna use one, use fin. the acid is more here say in my opinion; its good to add to an existing regiment of minoxidil and fin, but not uses solely, or in the place of fin
