Rogaine, the developer of minoxidil hair growth water, produced the world's first FDA-approved topical hair growth product, and is currently the only brand that has passed the FDA certification for all products, and was acquired by Johnson & Johnson in 2006. More than 5 million people around the world have used Rogaine hair growth water, as the world's highest-selling hair growth water, and it is also the most effective hair growth product known at present, and its reputation and market share are still far ahead.
 
Minoxidil is a topical chemical drug, and the exact mechanism of its treatment of hair loss is not clear, and the current study believes that topical minoxidil solution can change the growth cycle of hair follicles, convert telogen hair follicles to the anagen phase, and predict whether topical minoxidil will have obvious efficacy on patients by detecting the activity of sulfotransferase in hair follicles. In addition, minoxidil can also be combined with other drugs to treat hair loss, such as 17ɑ-estradiol in combination with female hair loss, finasteride in combination with male hair loss, etc., and sometimes as an adjunct to surgical hair transplantation.
 
Rogaine's first minoxidil product was launched in the United States in 1988, the 2% Minoxidil Hair Growth Serum for men. Years later, minoxidil at a concentration of 5% was also available. At present, 5% and 2% are the most commonly used topical minoxidil concentrations in Rogaine, and experimental data from the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology show that 5% topical minoxidil is significantly better than 2% topical minoxidil and placebo in promoting hair growth, and after 48 weeks, men who use 5% minoxidil products can grow 45% more hair.
 
Rogaine has two product lines for men and women, with the men's hair growth serum having a concentration of 5% minoxidil and the women's range having two concentrations of 5% and 2%.
 
Men's hair growth serum is available in both foam and liquid types, and the foam type is a non-additive propylene glycol formula to prevent allergies, which is milder than the liquid type. Exclusive to the foaming formula, Tricho-Prime™ contains botanical extracts and emollients to help maintain a healthy scalp, and Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) to promote skin aging and exfoliation to prevent hair follicles from clogging. This patented combination of ingredients allows the scalp to obtain an optimal environment for hair growth. Foaming hair growth serum is also more convenient to use than liquid and dissolves quickly on the scalp without leaving any marks and has no noticeable odor.
 
Although the foam type has better performance in mildness and usability, the liquid type is the first choice for most male consumers, mainly because propylene glycol has better permeability to the skin, which can promote the exertion of drug efficacy and the effect of treating hair loss is more significant.
 
Previously, the FDA-approved only minoxidil concentration for women's treatment was 2%, until 2014, when Rogaine launched the first FDA-approved 5% minoxidil foam-based product for women's treatment, which was named the 2018 Best of Beauty "Best Treatment for Hair Loss" product by the American women's magazine Allure, with the same formula as the male foam type. Compared to 2% minoxidil liquid hair growth serum, the 5% treatment is more effective, but its side effects are obvious, and it is recommended that women only need to apply it once a day to get the same effect as applying 2% twice a day. This new foaming formula allows women or men to continue to take care of their hair without being greasy, without compromising your beauty lover.
 
Due to individual differences and the ability to absorb and tolerate drugs, no drug can be guaranteed to be 100% effective, and the same is true for Rogaine, which varies from person to person. Minoxidil hair growth serum products are only suitable for people with thinning hair on the top of the head or hair loss starting from the top of the head, and are not suitable for those who have no family history of hair loss, unexplained hair loss, sudden hair loss and other types. For people with thinning hair, it may be possible to see new hair after 2 months of use, but it may take up to 4 months (one course of treatment) to see significant improvements. If the drug is stopped hastily, there will be relapse. If the hair follicles are necrotic and closed, then it is futile with any drugs and only hair transplant surgery can be performed.
 
Minoxidil and finasteride are the only two effective drugs approved by the US FDA for the treatment of hair loss. Minoxidil is an over-the-counter topical drug and is also safer than finasteride taken orally, while finasteride is a prescription drug and is not effective for hair loss in women. Minoxidil is a drug used to stimulate hair growth, it does not stop hair loss, its therapeutic effect is not overnight, it needs long-term use to fight hair loss, and there will be a rebound of hair loss after stopping the drug.
 
As the first FDA-approved topical brand to help regrow hair, Rogaine has been refining its products for over 30 years to make them as effective as they are gentle. The formulation was increased from an initial concentration of 2% to 5% for topical minoxidil; Dosage forms range from liquid to foam; The smell ranges from pungent to tasteless. There is no doubt that Rogaine Minoxidil Hair Growth Serum is currently the best treatment for androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
 
Rogaine is not convenient to buy in China, you can choose to purchase or overseas shopping, the price of the male foam type 3 months is about 500 yuan, and the price of the female foam type 4 months is about 400 yuan, which is much higher than the official website. It is worth reminding that Rogaine is a trademark in the United States, and the English logos in Europe, Asia Pacific and Hong Kong are Regaine, and the Chinese translation names in Hong Kong and Taiwan are "Beijian" and "Luojian" respectively, and there is no official Chinese trademark registered in Chinese mainland, and domestic consumers are used to calling it "Luojian", but it is not related to Rogaine with another "Regoine hair growth water" on the market, reminding consumers to pay attention to distinguish.
