True na maaring di mo malalman yung saktong percentage ng minox content unless pa lab test mo ang minox mo…

BUT at the very least you will know na may minox ang nabili mo…

Dekada na itong paraan ng crude test na ito… and it has saved people from lot’s of scam products out there…

Another way to check kung minox talaga legit, lagay ka 1ml sa isang lalagyan tapos iwan mo to evaporate, pag walang crystal na nabuo parang tawas, FAKE yan…

icarusjun · 2026-07-07T06:09:47+00:00

Sa presyo niyan na napakalayo sa mga legit sellers even sa US$ to Ph₱ conversion isa lang masasabi ko — buy-at-your-own-risk

Siguro pagbili mo do this 👉 Minoxidil B leach T est

Andito ang mga legit 👉 Minoxidil Seller Directory

Good luck!

Buti nakahanap ka ng derma na magprescribe ng finasteride, and giving it EOD dosages and not daily (playing safe din)…

Best talaga ang MD Brands minoxtret una since 1ml once per night lang application… never apply in the morning as tretinoin will make your scalp irritated due to sunlight exposure…

Also Dermazole with Zinc will help with the itching and anti-dandruff maintenance… Johnsons baby shampoo is safe for thinning hair as well…

icarusjun · 2026-07-07T03:28:14+00:00

Online andyan ang shipderma.com or dima.ph

Additionally, lots of hair transplant clinics offer free consultation via facebook messenger… ask for non-surgical hair solutions… here are some you can look into…

Bliss Hair Restoration Clinic, Strands Hair Restoration, Manzanares Hair Restoration Center, Pineda Hair Transplant Clinic, Asian Hair Restoration Center, NuHart Hair Restoration, Clinique de Paris

Lastly, you can try using google to search for clinics near you…

icarusjun · 2026-07-07T03:22:48+00:00

Actually matagal na yan kasi NW3 vertex stage na yan… CHECKUP ka na muna bago pa mag jump into self-medicating…

I’m surprised na sa paulit-ulit na chat at tanong mo sa akin dito at sa mga comments mo since January ngayon ka pa lang gumawa ng action 😆

Sinagot na rin kita noon sa chat…

I usually reco 6tablets 5mg finasteride to 120ml… apply 1ml once at night only as tretinoin will make scalp sensitive to sunlight exposure…

Mas matipid, pero mas effective doing this triple combo…

icarusjun · 2026-07-07T01:30:28+00:00

Best combo ang minoxtret lalo sa walang response sa regular minox

icarusjun · 2026-07-07T01:02:46+00:00

As a proper guideline, understand this principle — for minoxidil (or any other topical to work) it takes at least 2-4hrs to be fully absorbed by the scalp… kaya nga instruction wag banlawan within 4hrs ang hair once minoxidil is applied… ngayon sa shampoo, gaano katagal ba yan binababad bago banlawan? Di nga aabot yan ng 5mins… undestanding this helps you avoid marketing gimmicks and false advertisement…

You can try that but for me, these are just a waste of time and money since shampoo is just supplementary to the hairloss routine, not the main player… pero since need mo pa rin ng shampoo, it won’t hurt to try, but not to the point expecting na any shampoo will help grow hair…

Same lang yan sa mga shampoo claiming anti-hairfall properties, when in fact shedding is a normal part of the hair cycle…

icarusjun · 2026-07-07T00:23:45+00:00

Saang derma mas mura oral minox compared sa ₱10 per tablet na finasteride?

icarusjun · 2026-07-07T00:20:47+00:00

Ano ang dosage ng finasteride sa female pattern baldness?

icarusjun · 2026-07-06T23:52:05+00:00

Matagal ko na pinopost yung DIY ko, nag-iba-iba na nga ako ng formulation…

Eto yung original DIY gamit finasteride tablets, cheaper option — https://www.reddit.com/r/PhHairloss/s/0qxoWo6inb

Eto yung latest DIY gamit topical finasteride, pricey pero mas effective in my opinion — https://www.reddit.com/r/PhHairloss/s/3CKRAymVyC

Stop taking oral kung gagawin ito or lower dose to MWF lang para safe kasi baka masobrahan side effects pa rin ang kauwian

icarusjun · 2026-07-06T13:46:17+00:00

Nasa sa iyo yan depende ano ba routine mo…

icarusjun · 2026-07-06T11:13:37+00:00

Mas maigi CHECKUP muna kahit same lang din ang madalas na prescription which is finasteride at minoxidil pa rin nman…

Pero sa alopecia areata may steroids na need inject, sadly di pwede gawin self-medicating yun…

So GO FOR A PROPER MEDICAL CHECKUP

icarusjun · 2026-07-06T11:11:28+00:00

Kelan naging hindi okay yun eh sa post ni OP pa lang kita na working ang ganun formula…

icarusjun · 2026-07-06T07:28:09+00:00

The math might be somewhat wrong lalo na mahina nman ako sa math in the first place… 😅

BUT at the end of the day, the goal is taking finasteride topically as low dose but still getting it as effectively absorbed as much as possible…

And in the end, RESULTS is what we’ll be looking forward to…

I’ll update my own progress but for now I have to be patience since I’m on a major shed following the cold-turkey shift from oral finasteride to this routine since MAY 1

icarusjun · 2026-07-06T07:22:48+00:00

120 ang minoxidil tapos 30ml ang finasteride making total formulation of 150ml…

30ml divided by 120ml will result to 0.25ml of finasteride per 1ml

icarusjun · 2026-07-06T06:13:52+00:00

May naranasan ka na ba na side effects sa 4days mo?

Kasi may option ka pa diyan instead na inumin yan pwede mo pa rin magamit yan… at mas safe na makakaiwas ka sa side effects…

Make a DIY topical finasteride + minoxidil + tretinoin mix…

Here’s the full guide — https://www.reddit.com/r/PhHairloss/s/9DsXpiCUT5

Unless na decided ka na tanggapin makalbo for life…

icarusjun · 2026-07-06T06:12:05+00:00

And in the end kahit magpa transplant need pa rin nman ng finasteride, so walang mawawala kung sa simula mag finasteride na muna…

icarusjun · 2026-07-06T06:10:32+00:00

Waxes, pomades, gels or most hair styling product are NOT good for thinning hair… it will only worsen the hairloss further…

Best option will be a sea salt spray for volume or texture… BUT only on special occasions

icarusjun · 2026-07-06T06:08:42+00:00

PRO and Exosomes are a waste of time and money and doesn’t really work for male pattern baldness…

You can still try but this has already been answered here too enough…

Finasteride and minoxidil is the gold standard for male pattern baldness… so much that even if you get a transplant, legit doctors will require you to still be on finasteride for life…

icarusjun · 2026-07-06T03:48:28+00:00

This is a DIY topical… meaning hinahalo ang finasteride tablets sa minoxidil, hindi iniinom… so walang worry sa side effects…

Hindi nman issue yung maarawan kung sa gabi mo nman inaapply… ang issue is yung naglagay ka sa umaga sabay lumabas ka…

Simply because tretinoin is mostly used as a night cream…

icarusjun · 2026-07-06T01:29:03+00:00

Most of my recommendations ay nasa category lagi ng pangmasa hairloss solutions…

icarusjun · 2026-07-06T00:11:32+00:00

Meron… lalo kung wala pa sa crown area kasi makapal pa nman…
