Minoxidil-5% Extra Strength Hair Regrowth for Men, 3 Count, 2 Ounce Bottles

Satisfied Customer
I’m 25 years old and male pattern baldness runs in my family. I bought this product 2 months ago and have already seen significant regrowth. When I bought it, I thought that if I could at least slow down my hair loss, I would be satisfied. When I bought it I figured at worst I had only wasted ~20 bucks and if it didn’t work I was going to shave my head. I didn’t actually expect to grow back hair so when I noticed that hair was growing back (a family member actually noticed it before I did)I was pleasantly surprised.The hair first started growing back about 3 weeks ago (so I had been using the product for 5 weeks) and it is still growing back. I assume it will reach a point at which it has reached it’s maximum potential and stop growing back but that has not happened yet. The product says that it is not meant to treat a receding hairline, but I applied it to my receding hairline and all over the top part of my scalp and it has worked everywhere. It even says that hair growth is not expected to occur in places where it it has been devoid of hair for quite some time, but this was the case with my receding hairline where it is indistinguishable from my forehead in regards to the amount of hair (none) and hair grew back.You have to apply this product 2 times a day but you can miss days. I missed a couple of days but I never made up for it; I just continued on with the normal dose as the instructions say to do.As I see them, here are the pros and cons:Pros:- It does it’s job; hair has actually grown back in as little as 5 weeks.- Comes with a dropper and you only have to use it 2 times a day. Easy to apply.- Amazing bargain for what it does. The 6 month supply is very nice.o This doesn’t really have anything to do with the product itself, but the delivery was fast. I got it the very next day even though I didn’t pay for next day delivery.Cons:- When it dries, it flakes up and looks like dandruff in your hair. If you can help it, it’s best to apply it 2 hours or so before you have to go anywhere, and then check in the mirror for the excess flakes and remove them accordingly.- Turned my pillow a brownish color but it washed out, so no big deal.- Makes my scalp itch slightly. Not real bad though.- If you stop using it, your new hair will fall out. You have to use it for life.All in all, a great product. You can’t beat the price for something as important as keeping your hair. Until some new technology is developed that allows me regrow and keep my hair for a cheaper price, I will continue buying and using this product. The cons are a very small price to pay for the enormous benefits.

Seems legit, but you never know
If you’re getting a 3-count, there’s a chance you’re new to minoxidil and want to try it out or you’ve used it before and know you’ll require less than the suggested amount. This was my first time going with a 3-count as I get by with applying 0.5-1 mL of minoxidil 3-5 days a week, only once a day currently. I did use it every day in the past, but always once a day. I’ve always found that there would be unused bottles when the expiration date comes around, hence trying this quantity out instead.It’s worth noting that 3-count packages aren’t something officially sold by Kirkland, so anyone selling this quantity is just taking the bottles out of a 6- or 12-count package and reselling them. That’s fine, but you have to consider the value and safety proposition. Would you risk someone potentially tampering with the product like this to save a couple bucks, or would you dish out up to two or three more dollars to pay for something reliable from an official retailer? For reference, my purchase was $15.99 (+ $1.60 tax). Costco currently sells a 6-count for $17.99 near me. The least you can do is check the seller’s history if you’re keen on going with a 3-count like this. I’d like to assume the best in people, but you never know.That said, I’ve applied the minoxidil once since receiving it (it’s literally settling in my scalp right now). Based on the side effects I get, this seems like genuine minoxidil. It passes the smell test, too. I’ll use this for as long as it lasts. If I find that it doesn’t work after a couple months, I’ll be sure to update this review.Packaging was kind of a dud, but will likely differ by who fulfills it. It came in one of those mail packages lined with bubble wrap on the inside. I received the three bottles with a dropper, but there was not any individual wrapping or protection around the dropper so it came a bit loose from the base when I pressed on my scalp. I ended up using my previous dropper.If you’re a long-time user and don’t want to let any unused bottles go to waste, this might be an okay deal for you. If you’re new and trying minoxidil out for the first time or are fine maybe not using the whole supply before or shortly after expiry, I’d just go to Costco and pay a couple more dollars for the 6-count.
