Rogaine Foam Now Comes Stink-Free
Dear Dr. Rassman –
Just thought it might be worth flagging up with your readers that the new rogaine foam is scent free. That is, it no longer smells like grandma’s hair spray. I know the awful smell kept me from using it in the past, so maybe other readers out there would benefit from knowing the change.
While we’re on the topic, can I ask a Rogaine question?
I’ve stopped taking propecia because I was one of the few with side effects and was curious whether you thought Rogaine was worth it in isolation. So, what I mean is would you take it on it’s own or is the impact of taking it in isolation limited. I ask because I don’t really want to go through a shed and the hassle of taking it regularly if it doesn’t seem worth.
Certainly curious about your other readers’ experience with the product.
Thanks for the tip about the foam now being available in unscented. I found this press release about it for those interested. But really, Rogaine Foam is now scent free. That’s all the press release really says.
As for your question — I have seen patients in the past who use Rogaine with good results, but most men are not creatures of habit and the compliance of applying it twice a day makes it a challenge over the months/years.
when i was younger my stylist told me that it would be better to lay off hair products with strong scent, as it means that it has too much chemical for the scent alone… i always keep that in mind, now i’m using a herbal base hair products with Biotin to strengthen hair and its growth…
I use rogaine foam as my predominant hair loss regime. I have been using it for a year and a half. I have definitely been having an improvement, although i must agree with dr. rassman that it does eventually become a hassle applying twice a day. You\’re bound to miss an application every so often, unless you wanna let your hair loss control your social life.
