Adenogen Consumer Reviews

by Stephen, age 32, who has been using Adenogen for 4 months:

Two years ago I used this product for about 4 months and I am surprised to see they are still selling it. Don't waste you money on it. It is expensive and absolutely useless rubbish.

by john from Okinawa Japan, age 28, who has been using Adenogen for 2 months:

I live in okinawa japan. i was introduced to Shiseido's Adenogen about 2 months ago. i was hesitant to use this expensive product, but at that point, i ran out all my option of rogain, minoxidil, etc... I have been using this item for 2 months now. my hair looks fuller than ever. When i used to use minoxidil or rogain, i had this greasy feeling on my hair, and didn't feel comfortable at all. But adenogen actually contains mint, it feels refreshing, and my hair feels stronger when i touch it. i started to see some short hairs growing out around hairline. it's still thin and short, but we'll see how it goes. once i saw some result, i have recommended this item to my fellow bald co-workers. the result was same as me. 2 of them started to use it last month, and they also experienced different sensation from rogain and minoxidil. i will continue to post comments on adenogen as my treatment progresses. so far, i absolutely love adenogen!!!

Nisim Consumer Reviews

By Ed from Pasadena, age 52, who has been using Nisim shampoo for two years:

I bought a big bottle two years ago. I can't tell any difference after using for two years. I am still using it now as a regular shampoo because I want to finish it in my stock.

Xandrox Consumer Reviews

By Matt, age 41, who has been using minoxidil 12.5% and 5% azelaic for about a year:

Xandrox with 12.5% minoxidil and 5% azelaic acid has worked wonders in my crown area. I never believed I could grow back lost hair and took up the treatment only on my wife's advice, so this came as unexpected. I apply Xandrox at night, usually twice within two to three hours, and let it dry thoroughly before going to bed. I use it only on my crown so I do not know how it works on other areas. My wife says I grew back some 200 - 300 hairs and many fine hairs got thicker and darker. I still have a thin spot but when I touch it with my fingers, it feels as if there is enough hair in it.

By Paul, age 38, who has been using minoxidil 15% for two and a half years:

I have tried many types of minoxidil-based topicals and my observation is that the higher the minoxidil content, the more effective the treatment is. However, at some point, it makes little sense increasing the concentration further. 15% looks reasonable to me as the 20% mixture is too unstable and leaves crystals of minoxidil in your hair rather than in your hair follicles, where they are needed. When buying higher concentrations, I usually get them with 5% of azelaic acid, which is an added benefit. I have been using 15% minoxidil for two and a half years now and was pleased to see some regrowth at the beginning but after about 9 months my situation stabilised and since then I have only kept what I have left.

by Garry from NY, age 30, who has been using minoxidil 15% with azelaic acid 5% (Xandrox) for two years:

I am using a mixture of 15% minoxidil and 5% azelaic acid with good success. I have tried numerous other minoxidil products in the past but this seems to work best for me. The only drawback is that it leaves a residue of crystallised minoxidil on my scalp after drying but, despite that, it is less irritating to my skin than branded Rogaine and dries faster. And last but not least, 15% strong minoxidil has noticeably thickened my hair.

(Poly) Re-Nature Consumer Reviews

Poly Re-Nature is a hair colorant that is said to bring back the natural hair colour gradually. The product was first introduced in Germany and Austria in 1998 and it is now available in many European countries as well as some oversees markets. It comes in the form of a cream and is suitable for use by men and women but it should not be used to colour facial hair. Poly Re-Nature changes the colour of the white hair gradually, which makes the change less noticeable than with traditional hair dyes. It works in a similar fashion to metallic-based, hair colouring lotions (such as Grecian formula) by replacing the missing pigment in white hair with a chemically-formed synthetic pigment. The difference is mainly in the type of chemical reaction and the resulting chemical formula of the pigment but the principle remains the same. The application also happens to be different. Poly Re-Nature is applied to the hair for about five minutes and then rinsed and the hair washed with shampoo. The main advantage over the metallic-based products using lead acetate is that it does the work without the use of poisonous heavy metal compounds and you can wash your hair as often as you like. The main disadvantage is the more aggressive nature of the substance. The re-pigmentation process is slow and lasts several days after the cream has been washed out. The chemical reaction involves 5, 6-dihydroxyindoline which reacts with oxygen in the air to produce polymers that act like melanin and bring back your natural hair colour. The author of this review tried this product back in 1999. It did work as promised but it gave him a bad allergic reaction after the first application and he never dared try it again. Poly Re-Nature works best for shades between dark blond and black. It was not designed for use on red hair and it was not tested on and is not recommended for African and Asian hair.

Consumer reviews are plentiful but they only seem to be available in German and most of them are positive. Some consumers complained about the bad smell and the aggressive nature of the cream, and flaking after its continued use. Several people said Poly Re-Nature coloured their hair red after repeated application. It sounds weird, as this product is typically not very useful for colouring hair that was originally red. Poly Re-Nature is believed to be a good alternative for grey hair sufferers afraid of the metallic compounds contained in other types of hair colorants. However, they must be ready to put up with the inconvenience of using this fast-reacting mixture and be lucky not to suffer from an allergic reaction to one of its ingredients. Re-Nature is currently not available in stores and pharmacies in either USA or Canada.

Reminex Consumer Reviews

By Ed from Pasadena, age 52, who has been using Reminex for one year:

Ingredients of Reminex are almost the same as Melancor-MH. After I used Melancor-MH for a year and Reminex for a year, I finally gave up!! It proved both are useless. Don't waste your money.

By Robin, age 53, who has been using Reminex for four months:

My first impression after using Reminex for two months was good as my hair turned darker but later I noticed that all my white hair was still white and increasing the contrast was not the result I wanted to achieve. Hands off!

By Dan from Ohio, age 38, who has been using Reminex for three years:

I've used this product for years~~and it works! I have very, very few grey hairs!

Nizoral Consumer Reviews

by Claire, age 55, who has been using Nizoral for nearly two years:

I first bought Nizoral shampoo against thinning hair to use alongside Rogaine for women. Already, two months later, I noticed my hair becoming fuller and shinier. Now I use Nizoral not only because it is as effective as Rogaine but also because it is very easy to apply, by shampooing my hair.

by Myhairloss, age 29, who has been using Nizoral for two months:

I had read that Nizoral shampoo helps eliminate DHT in the scalp and decided to give it a go, although I am not suffering from dandruff. I am using minoxidil and generic Propecia daily against my hair loss and now, since about eight weeks ago, I shampoo my hair once a week with Nizoral. My first observation, after less than two months, is that my hair appears healthier and I have less grey. My hair has also gone a shade darker and feels softer. Until now I have not noticed any change in the quality of my hair while on Propecia and minoxidil. I have to wait for another two months or so to fully evaluate the results and see whether it was only a seasonal change in hair colour or not.

by Doris Jones, age 54, who has been using Nizoral for one month:

I read about Nizoral long ago and had to buy it with a doctor's prescription but no insurance so it was pricey. Now I can get it online so I'm trying it again. I have the post menopause hairloss thinning. I read one guy's personal blog where he was not selling anything and he had tried all the things like Minoxidil and Finasteride but went back to Nizoral and said it had helped him. I plan to stick with it this time and be more vigilant in using it.

Follicare Consumer Reviews

By Greg from the FL, age 46, who has been using Follicare for two years:

I believe Follicare has prevented me from going bald. However, the hair on top and in front is still quite thin. I am looking for anyone who has switched from Follicare to another product and has found better results.

Procerin Consumer Reviews

By Ed from Pasadena, age 52, who has been using Procerin for one year:

After I used for about 8 bottles one year ago, I did not see any difference. Don't waste your money.

By longhair, age 44, who has been using Procerin for three months:

"Procerin contains a mix of herbal extracts and vitamins that are supposed to provide your hair with essential nutrients and neutralise the negative impact of dihydrotestosterone, which makes this treatment effective in reversing hair loss in men caused by androgenetic alopecia".

Although I cannot confirm this claim as I have not been able to regrow a single hair so far, I think the pills cannot do you any harm unless you are allergic to their herbal components. This stuff dries out your mouth, though, and interrupts your sleep at night. Make sure you have a bottle of water by your bed. The liquid is sticky and smelly and can only be used at night and then washed off in the morning. It looks too aggressive to be applied daily. It merely made my hair recede faster. I would like to give Procerin two and a half stars, which is not possible here, so I am giving it three, as I do not want to sound too negative. This product may help you keep your hair a bit longer but do not think of growing back the hair you have lost. Avoid using the topical lotion.
