Brand name versus value
Rogaine is one of the best-known names in the category. FOLIGAIN focuses on formula choice and three-month supplies. Because the active ingredient is the same at matching strengths, the practical choice comes down to comfort, format and monthly cost.
A simple way to decide
Start with the label: pick the product made for your sex and the strength you need. Then think about comfort. If regular formulas have made your scalp itchy or tight, a low-alcohol solution or foam is worth trying. Finally, compare the cost per month of use, because minoxidil only keeps working while you keep using it.
Whichever you choose, give it at least four months of twice-daily use before judging, and take monthly photos under the same lighting so you can see real progress.
- Right strength for you
