Good product but messy application,

I find that follicle booster pretty much does the same thing as rogaine does, but at less of a price. For people who think this product will magically make your hair grow, here is a reality check.
Follicle booster does not regrow hair! It does, however, stop your hair from falling out. So if you are like me who still has hair growing, but loses hair faster than it grows, this may help you have a fuller set of hair. But, if your hair is not longer growing at all, then you would just use it as a preventive measure.
My scalp only turned red the first time I used it. It was more of a burning feeling than a tingly one. Ever since, I have not had a problem. The application is a bit messy, because it is in a gel format. If your are not careful, it will run into your face. I suggest keeping a damp cloth nearby to wash off any of the follicle booster that may drop into your face or forehead.
Overall, this is a great product and I will definitely use it again.

I have been using Nioxin cleanser and conditioner for about 15 years. I have been very happy with those products. However my hair was slowly thinning and a larger than a quarter sized chunk was gone from the front, a thinning line down the middle and almost nothing on the very top the size of a three inch circle. I tried Costco's brand of Minoxidil for a few years with no change observed. One of Amazon's daily deals was Nioxin's Follicle Booster and I thought I might as well give it a shot. I just put a dab on and rub it over the thinning area at night before I go to bed. I noted thickening within a week. I have used up one bottle now. The missing hair on my hairline is now hardly noticeable and the thinning stripe is looks pretty regular now. The part on the top may to too far gone... but who knows? I am only heading into my second bottle. My order today of another bottle is my testimony that it is certainly worth the money to...Read more

After 1.5 years of use, seems to be stopping the hairloss. I don't think I've had new growth...at least non noticeable.
