Ingredients
The serum contains Minoxidil 5%, Biotin, D-Panthenol, Wheat Protein and Ethanol.
Biotin
A B vitamin (B7) involved in keratin production. Low biotin can affect hair, but evidence that applying it to the scalp helps hair growth is limited.
D-Panthenol
Provitamin B5. Helps hair and scalp hold moisture and leaves strands softer and easier to manage.
Wheat Protein
Coats the hair shaft to help strengthen it and make strands feel fuller. Avoid if you are allergic to wheat.
Ethanol
The alcohol base that dissolves minoxidil and helps the serum dry quickly. It can dry or irritate a sensitive scalp.
Minoxidil safety: read before use
- Give it time: results usually take 3–6 months of regular use, and vary from person to person.
- Early shedding is possible: some people shed more in the first weeks. This is common and usually settles.
- Not for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or anyone under 18.
- Consult a doctor before use, especially if you have a heart condition, blood pressure problems or a scalp condition, or take other medicines.
- Stop and see a doctor if you get chest pain, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, swelling of the hands or feet, or scalp irritation.
- It is not a cure. Minoxidil can help some people while they use it; any benefit fades if you stop.
