Revivogen and Kevis
Hi Dr. Rassman,
What are your thoughts on Revivogen and Kevis? Revivogen seems to be pushed pretty hard as a “natural” DHT blocker that supposedly works well. I hear Kevis commercials on AM radio all the time. is there any validity to their claims?
thank you
Revivogen seems to make claims about ‘proven’ DHT blocking and ‘Doctor formulated’ natural ingredients. Kevis has minoxidil as an active ingredient. There is clear value to minoxidil, but you can buy this over the counter at substantially less money than with the Kevis formula and Revivogen has made claims that are not widely accepted although it has been around for years with some good reports by some consumers. I have made comments on non-FDA approved medications and claims about safety and effectiveness in the past (see Scalpmed and ViTrichol for examples).
Kevis is CRUD!!!!! It is not only overpriced, but does not work. When I bought it I was fuming and incensed to see how they “carefully” worded “for thicker fuller LOOKING hair”–notice the word “looking”–as that means it does not claim to produce thicker fuller hair, it only claims to produce the look of such–which shows it is 100%, uniquivocal, grade A, all-American CRUD!!!! AKA Snake oil. Fake wonder elixir.
I have used Kevis for about three months, and it works quite well. Time will tell.
Thank you Dorian for your comments. They were very helpful – and just what I thought. First, you guys – if you EVER hear a medical product advertised on AM radio you can know with 100% certainly it’s a scam! Absolutely always. And I’m now convinced that is the case with the Kevis hair loss product as well.
This was the rule I have always followed – yet when I heard the Kevis hair ad, something about it made me want to check it out – even though I knew better! So I checked out their site (noted however they don’t mention their site in their ads because they want you to call them. That’s the first sign of a scam. It’s much easier to sell people when you can talk to them than it is when they just look at a web site. Notice how they force you to call from their web site if you want to know the price?)
Anyway, after looking at the Kevis hair site I became convinced it must be a scam. They use a bunch of meaningless razzle dazzle words, they try to impress you with images of molecules – like the non-scientist would have any idea in the world what they were looking at!
But most of all they were just so vague about how and why it worked. Reading it made it sound as if it just cleaned your hair better. Sorry, but clean hair doesn’t make it grow more!
Also, when companies talk about “all natural” that’s usually a big hint that it’s not gonna work. No all-natural “cures” ever do a damn thing to cure the thing they promise they will. But people love to hear “all natural”… makes them think it’s gonna be safe. I guess they’ve never heard of all the natural poisons that exist on this earth!
Anyway, Dorian – your post pretty much confirmed what I was thinking. So if you’re not convinced by Dorian’s actual experience, then hopefully you’ll also consider my analysis of the scam Kevis web site.
i used kevis as directed for 6 months. i lost most of my hair
the folks at kevis were unhelpful and rude.

I used revivogen for allmost six months and it didnt work at all. I end up lossing all the hair growed by rogain.So I said revivogen is not worth it it all you will loss time and your hair.
If you want to waste your time, money and hope, go on and buy the overly priced Revivogen I used it for about a complete year without any positive results, in fact I think my hair looks thinner than it was before I started the revivogen treatment. I’m now starting to use some natural products, made from ancestral recipes from Native Indians in Mexico, to be honest I feel a lot much better in the last month, rather than the complete year under Revivogen.
You are all correct, I tried the Kevis product faithfully with all the exactness that was instructed in the literature…The end result? Nothing! in fact, I LOST hair and not noticably gained ANY the whole time I was on the program for a year. It was an ABSOLUTE SCAM. I was told straight out by the sales rep (he went by the name Robert Starr….some dude with a British accent) that “98 percent of the users who faithfully used this product would regain the hair they lost.”
I didn’t order right away, but took a few days to think it over. That was back in the spring of 2007. I’m so completely furious over the marketing deception that I’m lending my voice to those out there searching for a cure as well. I’m not bald, just thinning so I was “seen” as a prime candidate for the success of this product. No way should you even consider this useless, waste of your good hard earned money! If it didn’t work for me, a “best case scenario”, it won’t work for you at all. This stuff is as worthless as pond scum. Like the rest of you, I hate being lied to, and the Kevis company and their affiliates are slick as hell at doing just that. Keep your money in your wallet, I wish I did!!!
I have been using Kevis for 10 years with excellent results. The top if my head used to be see- through. After about a year it mostly filled back in and has been normal looking for 9 years, using maintenance level amounts. My friends who refused to try it went bald. My father was bald by age 26. I am 54 with a nice, normal head of hair. I LOVE Kevis & will never stop using it. I don’t want to go bald!
Kevis penetrates the hair shaft and restores the hair cuticles. Continued treatment results in a significantly smoother and thicker hair shaft. Hair is easier to comb, less likely to tangle or break, and the hair actually looks thicker. Style and work with the hair as usual. The hair will hold and style as well as or better than before. Kevis can be used on hair that has been permed, colored, relaxed, or straightened.
Kevis products contain no drugs and so require no medical supervision. Also Kevis shampoos, conditioners, and lotions contain no harmful chemicals, produce no side effects and are safe and effective for men and women of all ages. They are easy to use and get results. Kevis products promote healthy hair growth, increase your hair’s beauty and health, and intensify its strength.

Hey Mike!
You are a corporate tool if you think your posting will negate the aforementioned facts! Instead of kissing your company’s ass by posting here, you should help them improve the lies posted on their site.
Ciao, Loser!
I’ve been using kevis off and on for about 8 years and have noticed that when I stop for any significant length of time I start to thin again. I’ve always had baby fine hair and every little bit helps.
It works for me!
I have given Kevis 8 a fair chance to prove itself and it has failed. It bought a costly year’s supply and have used it regularly for 10 months. I actually have less hair now than when I started. I can safely and confidently say this product does NOT work. It is no wonder they do not give any kind of guarantee. That should have been my first clue. PLEASE save your $$. I wish I had.
Hi,
I’ve been using Kevins 8 for over 6 months.
I noticed a positive difference within less then 4 weeks. My hair strands had become stronger, shinier and thicker. This is what my hair stylist noticed as well. Little by little my hair has been growing back in. You do really need to use it every day if you want to see quicker results.
Also taking the prescription drug spironolactone can help with hair loss as it blocks some of the testosterone. Also exercise and eating less sugar is helpful because the high blood sugar causes more insulin production and testosterone as a byproduct. I take sprironolactone daily as well as the Kevis treatment. The hair on the front of my head had bald patches before, and now you can barely notice the thin spots. With continued use I know my hair will continue to look more and more fabulous. :)
Kevis is produced by Farmaka srl which was originally based in Lake Como but now based in Milan. Here is a link to the youtube video with the CEO of Farmaka, Dr Alessandro Casero
