What’s the Difference Between Rogaines?

Hello, We’re wondering about the difference between Rogaine for men, & Rogaine for women. Also, it would seem that by now something would be developed that you wouldn’t have to use twice a day, also something less sticky…

In today’s world of hi-tech advances (Latisse is one, & what a blessing for men/women who have had surgery), that something would come along that grows hair much easier.Just wondering…
Thank you

Rogaine is a brand name for a topical formulation of a generic drug named minoxidil meant for topical application to the scalp (for hair growth). It comes in 5% strength for men and 2.5% strength for women and is available without a doctor’s prescription (over the counter). I’ve written about the ingredient differences before here.

Some formulations are very sticky, as you imply, and others are not. It all depends on the preparation of how it is mixed and packaged. The brand name Rogaine also comes in a foam and it is not sticky at all, but I believe it is slightly more expensive. In summary, there is consumer choice available to each of you and some experimenting with what is available maybe a good idea. All drugs have their limitations.
