How to use it
- Apply to a dry scalp where the hair is thinning, following the directions on your prescription label. Part the hair so the liquid reaches the skin.
- Let it dry before bed or styling, and wash your hands after each use. Try not to wash your hair for about 4 hours after applying.
- Keep it away from the eyes, and do not let others, especially pregnant women, touch the treated area until it dries.
What to expect
- Weeks 2-8
The shed
A temporary increase in shedding is common as follicles reset.
- Months 3-6
New growth
Less shedding and fine new hairs where you apply it.
- Months 6-12
Fuller hair
Thicker coverage. Keep applying it to keep the results.
The evidence
Minoxidil liquid and foam are FDA-approved over the counter for pattern hair loss at 5%. Studies of topical finasteride show it lowers DHT in the scalp with a smaller drop in blood DHT than the tablet, though some still reaches the bloodstream.
Combining a DHT blocker with minoxidil works better than either alone, and putting both in one liquid keeps the routine to a single step.

Important safety information
Topical finasteride + minoxidil is a compounded liquid and is not FDA-approved. It can cause scalp itching, dryness, redness or flaking and unwanted hair where it spreads; wash your hands after use and keep it away from the eyes. Small amounts of finasteride are absorbed through the skin, so the same finasteride warnings apply, and women who are or may become pregnant must not use or handle it.
