learn Minoxidil

Minoxidil 2%, 5% and 10% which is better to use? In a randomized trial in men, 5% topical minoxidil produced more hair growth than 2%. There is no approved 10% product and no head-to-head trial showing it beats 5%; higher strengths mainly add irritation and systemic absorption. Approved strengths differ by sex, so check the label for your product.
Shampoos, vitamins and other promises: What does minoxidil really boost? Minoxidil boosts hair growth by prolonging the hair growth phase and improving follicle health.

learn Overview

learn Bimatoprost

a synthetic prostamide used to treat eyelashes also shows promise for stimulating hair growth on scalp

How does bimatoprost compare to minoxidil for hair regrowth? Minoxidil is FDA-approved for scalp hair loss and backed by decades of large trials; bimatoprost is approved only for eyelashes, and the published scalp evidence is limited to small short studies, so on the scalp it is off-label and experimental.

learn Nanoxidil

learn Tretinoin

the gold standard retinoid in dermatology that's also helpful for hair regrowth alongside Minoxidil

learn Finasteride

Is Finasteride unbeatable or are there equally powerful alternatives? Trials report finasteride as the single medication with the strongest measured effect in male androgenetic alopecia, while dutasteride, minoxidil, topical finasteride, PRP, LLLT and microneedling all have supporting studies and are often reported to work better in combination. Finasteride, dutasteride and oral minoxidil are prescription-only, and several of these uses are off-label.
