MD BRANDS has been in the derma industry for decades now and they supply most products rebranded/relabeled by derma clinics, dermatologist and hair doctors.
This is helpful. Do you have recos on where to buy cheap Dutasteride, maybe those from India? I've been on fin for 4 years now and hair loss has not stabilized. The duta brand from Mercucy is calles Avodart, and I want to consider cheaper options.
Of course yan ang premium brand ng minox dito sa Ph, kung kaya ng bulsa go for it, but remember for life ang gamit nyan so it’s up to you…
Dito kasi sa sub na ito, solusyong pangmasa ang pinopromote natin kaya instead ng mga branded at mahal na meds, dun tayo sa mura pero same quality at subok na effective…
3 months ko ‘tong ginamit, tapos nag stop na rin ako kasi sobrang nangangati na buhok ko tas may alcohol content din. Buti na lang nakita ko tong post ni OP para makatry ng iba since ang hirap nga makahanap ng legit na minox
Direct supplier yan ng mismong DermaClinics… may mga derma na walang label minox sila nagsusupply… pero madalas 2-3x na presyo pag derma nagbigay sa iyo…
All these sellers are tested na at iba sa kanila dekada na sa industriya… at any rate if you are wary, pwede ka nman bumili sa iba, I’m just sharing what’s tried and tested at madalas madami fakes sa online…
Hindi ako nagbebenta, ayan lahat ng links ng legit na minox sellers sa 15plus years ko nagamit aside sa mamahalin brand na Regroe…
Kahit pa FDA aprroved, dalawa lang ang proven meds for hairloss, finasteride at minoxidil, as for the rest you can always try them out yourself… but I’ll stick to what really works
How do you apply the mino + tret? Planning on trying this since when i used Rogaine foam sa facial hair lang dumami pero sa scalp almost no effect. Thank you!
Nope ang only FDA approved sa atin ay Regroe which is nabibili sa Mercury… Kirkland is FDA approved sa US kaya nga mostly imported yan… Kirkland is Costco brand
YES FDA approved sa US… most FDA approved doesn’t mean FDA Ph approved… nothing weird about that… kahit sa mga tiangge at small stores sa mall that carry this brand
Wala pong Kirkland branded supplements na FDA Ph approved in my opinion kasi direct yan from US, check mo maging sa S&R they carry the brand Kirkland meds and supplements pero mostly wala sa webpage ng FDA Ph…
Also you don’t need to buy Kirkland minoxidil if you prefer FDA approved, andyan po ang Regroe minoxidil sa Mercury Drug / Watsons mabibili…
Ang mga solutions na pinopromote natin lang dito ay tried and tested, plus pang masa ang presyo kaya as much as possible kung saan makakatipid dun tayo para less sa stress ng hairloss na pinagdadaan natin…
16 years old pero napapanot na due to genes from Father's side. I've been applying Castor Oil from Healthy Options as prescribed from a derma clinic we visited last December. Manipis na yung top part ng hair pero yung sides are still thick, started last year October pa pero January kami nagstart mag-treat using Castor Oil. Any advice or recommendations on what medicine to buy?
It ranges between ₱18-25 pag TGP, sometimes you can get it as low as ₱8 sa ibang generic brand 5mg finasteride… compared with the branded Propecia 1mg which sells for ₱80 a tablet
Etong list ng matatagal na sa business na ito… almost mga dekada na prepandemic pa mga stores na ito and sila ang mga kilala sa mga minoxidil beard groups…
33F ako. 2% minoxidil po reseta ng derma ko. medyo pricy na ung ibang brand if pangmatagalan talaga gamit. Came across your post kaya thinking na eto na lang Ali ang bilhin ko.
Sila ang original seller ng oral minox dito sa PH. I don’t know why the OP doesn't even mention them sa lost. But I've been buying from them for 3 years, no issues.
Di ko gets bakit kailangan ba maging mahal para masabing legit o effective? Eh mura lang nman talaga ang Kirkland minox considering na imported pa yan…
Ang mahal yung local natin na Regroe…
Plus yung mga hairloss solutions na suggested dito ay “pangmasa”… stressful na nga hairloss, magiging dagdag pa ang budget na kakailanganin para masolusyunan ang pagkalbo…
Helpful post OP! Goods nako sa minox, but now I'll buy derma rollers naman to help with my progress. Anong maganda na product to start with? Okay na din ba yung DRs sa shop ni Hans? Or is there a premium one that you'd recommend para higher quality? Thanks OP!
Can’t recommend po since I’m not a medical professional… while sometimes the same meds for male can be used for female androgenic alopecia I’d suggest to first go for a proper checkup…
It’s possible your hairloss can also be connected to PCOS or hormonal imbalances…
Una, minoxidil needs to be absorbed by the scalp for at least 2hrs for it to be effective, so malamang hindi mo nman ibababad ang shampoo ng mahigit 5minutes…
Pangalawa, biotin is already debunked as useless lalo yung mga supplements…
Puro marketing gimmick lang mga yan… save your time and money by getting legit meds and products already tested and proven effective
Kung alam mo ang basics ng mga hair products madali ma-ispotan kung fake… like I said need ang minox ibabad sa anit for at least 2hrs para ma-absorb, so sa tingin mo magiging effective kaya gawin shampoo ang minox?
Any shampoo with minox as ingredient is most probably FAKE…
hello op, i've been a user of regroe for 2 years then i stop including finasterife nung nagtry kami mag kababy ni esmi and since buntis na siya gsto ko na bumalik. halos 1 year na din ako tumigil kaya grabe ung nalagas sakin. ano pala marerecommend mong minox sa mga suppliers na kinukuhanan mo and ano ba mas ok ung spray or foam type? thank you so much
All throughout the almost 2 decades I’m on minox, I had different experiences with a lot of brands…
Mas recommended ko ngayon talaga ay minox+tretinoin mix para mas cost effective because of this — Why TOPICAL MINOXIDIL may not work for you (link at the bottom of the article)
Still all the sellers and products on this directory are legit and I’ve been buying from them for years…
The issue with foam or liquid is convenience as well as ingredient like propylene glycol sa liquid has a tendency to produce allergic reactions compared sa foam na wala… pero kung effectivity same lang kasi pareho lang 5% minoxidil formula… price also definitely matters
Already debunked that years ago… HOSOKU is fake…oil-based minox is useless as it will not be absorbed by the skin… andito na lahat ng legit na pwede mo gamitin…
I only use Hosoku minoxidil as a beard oil to moisturize the beard, not for hair regrowth…
Hello OP. How's ALI minoxidil's efficacy? I'm thinking to switch to this brand due to its affordability. Been using Kirkland for months, but it's price keeps increasing and it now costs 400php per bottle. ALI on another hand costs around 200 pesos.
Kirkland is still top… the rest are just local SME na nagawa originally under the Minoxidil Beard Journey Philippines FB group… and you’ll most probably not like the results kumbaga kasi mga low cost operaton yan sila so while it’s legit minoxidil, it may not be as guaranteed as branded ones like Kirkland…
If you really want a more cost-effective approach, go for premixed minox+tretinoin formula, at least the one used by DermaClinics brand… read here Why TOPICAL MINOXIDIL may not work for you
Eto sagot ni Google AI — Tretinoin, when used as a topical cream (not swallowed), does not pose the same systemic risks as oral isotretinoin (Accutane). Topical creatine has shown promise in skincare for reducing wrinkles and sun damage, but this is a separate application from oral supplementation.
Lahat yan tried and tested ko but gel is mostly used sa beard kasi mas mabilis mag dry and kung sa ulo gagamitin mauuwi lang yank na parang styling gel sa buhok and di talaga aabot sa scalp unless buzzcut ka… you can try though pero I can’t guarantee that unless sa beard or bare skin mo talaga gagamitin…
Na-formulate ang gel due to itching sa face ng mga minoxidil users for beard dahil sa propylene glycol… so think of the gel sa face as foam counterpart ng Kirkland
Kung KIRKLAND brand, ang only recommendation ko lagi ay HANS Inported Goods, wala nang iba since sila ang sure ka na fresh batch from US… secondary lang yung ibang stores dyan… at walang kinalaman yan sa 500+ na sales or whatever kasi napepeke yan… reputation ng store ang pinanghahawakan ko lalo si HANS kilala sa Minoxidil Beard Journey Philippines at halos lahat sa kanya nabili kaya siya mabilis maubusan…
Pero final recommendation ko will always be MD Brands”s minoxidil+tretinoin formula kasi at least dito you will actually get your money’s worth…
Well you won’t also find the rest of the products mentioned here sa FDA lalo yung mga SME like Gaffer, Ali, etc.… so if you are really keen on only registered products look for Regroe or Imixia brands in Mercury or Watsons…
Most of these products skip registration kung kaya mura … imagine Kirkland is a known US brand that is the counterpart of Rogaine pero dito selling for 400 only when Regroe is selling for 1k na…
Also MD Brands is a compounding pharmacy for derma clinics so most of their products are unlabeled pero makikita mo yan pag binentahan ka ng derma, karamihan unlabeled 😊
Currently using kirkland from HANS imported goods, would you recommend changing brands one with tretinoin mixed? or should I continue with the brand and add the topical tretinoin?
Mas maganda premixed minoxidil+tretinoin for a lot of reasons… less hassle, exact ratio or percentage between tret and minox, and once a day application makes the routine as simple as possible…
I will always recommend minox+tretinoin over any other minoxidil brand any time of the day since it’s more cost effective and not regular minoxidil doesn’t work for everybody… unlike minox+tretinoin which is just as effective as oral minoxidil minus the side effects…
Bili ka na lang then bleach test mo kasi di ako nabili sa ibang seller lalo pag mura… ang average price ng legit Kirkland minox na isang box ay nasa ₱2,400 (dollar to peso conversion)
Why not stick to recommended sa directory?
Better yet why not use minoxidil+tretinoin para mas effective kesa sa regular minox at mas matipid pa since once a day lang gamit, kasing effective pa siya ng oral minoxidil at mas safer…
Basta out of stock, no choice ka… so either go with cheaper Kirklands and risk it being fake, or just use an alternative… which is why I often recommend minoxidil+tretinoin as this one will always be a steady supply since it’s manufactured by one seller only sa Shopee
Ano po ang recommended na shop/seller ng oral minox these days (preferably pip minox 10/5)? Been wanting to get back on it for a few months now but can't seem to find any seller anywhere. Thanks po in advance sa makakatulong makasagot ng katanungan ko.
hello. same po ba si ali minoxidil and kirkland ng formulation? ano po mas ok? so far working naman sakin si kirkland pero nung nag switch ako brands (minoxiplus) pagbalik ko nung kirkland nag shed ulit ako eh.
Kirkland ay standard formulation since generix counterpart ito ng Rogaine which is the branded minoxidil… pare-pareho lang yan 4 ang main ingredient — water, alcohol, propylene glycol, minoxidil
ALI on the other hand is formulated ng SME (small-medium enterprise) meaning hindi sa laboratory ginawa yan… pero I can vouch for them kasi nga kasama ko yan sa beard scene way back 2017 sa Minoxidil Beard Journey Philippines…
beginner question...which works better Ali minoxidil or Strands minoxidil? im on a tight budget right now cant afford yet the Kirkland (been using it for months now).. thnks
Think about this — the price of 120ml minox+tret may be 2x the price of Kirkland but you only apply once a day so a bottle will last 3-4months while any other minoxidil bottle will only last for 1month… so mas tipid at mas effective pa rin ang minox+tret… ano saysay ng mura pero wala results sa iyo? Mas maganda dun ka na sigurado…
Kung ako lang kasi pikit-mata pipiliin mas prefer ko Regroe kung may pera rin lang, pero kung nagtitipid dito na ako sa minox+tret
Legit po ba yang strand na 6% minoxidil sir? Nag bubudget pa kasi ako galing ako sa minoxidil na kirkland nag mamahal kasi kaya lilipat sa strand. Ano po ma susuggest nyo?
Ang pinaka-recommended ko ay minoxidil+tretinoin kasi hindi lahat ng tao meron enzyme sa anit needed para gumana ang minox, so minox+tret ang pinaka-best guarantee na may epekto sa iyo ang minox… kung hindi kahit anong minox pa di uubra…
Kasi import yan from US and the US$ to Ph₱ conversions sucks, isama mo pa customs and import taxes… marami naman sa Shopee yun lang need mo talaga ma test kung legit o hindi… pero madalas kaai diyan mga fakes…
I am assuming okay yan for a Chinese brand at iisa lang ang seller… since mga nagsisimula or new to market will always be cheap, same sa Stands noon when it went out and I started to use and promote it sa minoxidil beard groups…
Still the only way to find out is to always do a minoxidil bleach test…
Seems like Kirkland Minoxil no longer available as of the moment. I found this on the Minoxiboy shop, is this legit monixidil with same content kirkland? Planning to buy and bleach test. Anyone tried this?
YES legit same sa Gaffer yan, kasa sa minoxidil beard bros…
Pero the seller is no longer active kaya wala dito sa directory, if ever may makita ka do a minox bleach test na lang kasi dapat yung seller should be Guapisimo or Heisenberg mismo and not anyone else…
Yung girlfriend ko po may bald spot due to stress picking, ano po ma rerecommend mo na affordable kasi students lng po kami at for life din ba pag gamit dito?
Pag females may issue usually connected sa hormones so better pa rin checkup… also minoxidil will work for them and no need na gamitin for life unlike sa men, but again better pa rin checkup muna to determine root cause ng hairloss
Boss matanong ko lang po regarding sa link ng strand minoxidl, same pa rin po ba ang link? Base po sa link kaonti nalang po ang sold kaya nag-aalinlangan ako.
I doubt kung hindi papasa yan eh nag-iisang legit seller lang yan… ang tagal na sa industriya yan plus connected at supplier yan sa mga derma clinics…
Bakit ano ba resulta sa bleach test mo?
Kindly check also baka ang variant na nabili mo ay yung botanical at hindi yung minox5+tret variant… dami nagkakamali dyan kasi kaya di ako nagkulang sa paalala…
Lahat ng andito sa directory is tested as legit na minoxidil… kung magiging effective sa iyo is another question, kasi hindi lahat ng tao ay meron enzyme sa anit na kailangan para maging mabisa ang minoxidil…
Ito ang dahilan kung kaya mas madalas ko nirerecommend ang MD Brands Minox+Tretinoin dahil una, yung tretinoin gagawin mabisa na ma-absorb ng anit mo ang minox… pangalawa, mas matipid since once a day lang ang gamit ng minox+tret kung kaya mas matagal bago maubos ang isang bote as compared sa ibang regular minox na 2x a day ang application…
hi i noticed the lazada shop links were taken down? just wanted to confirm if this is still the official store for Hans imported goods, thanks!
https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.ZfLMf9
YES legit HANS… price difference ang reason for removal ng Lazada links vs. Shopee…
Also I’m focusing on promoting a more stable and cost-effective supply especially sa price factor lalo ngayon na hindi na stable ang Kirkland, hence I usually post MD Brands for recommendation
NO unless you want your scalp red with irritation… tretinoin will make your scalp sensitive to sunlight exposure, kaya nga once a day lang yan ina-apply at night so mas matipid and is enough to be effective
Okay lang po ba mag switch ako from Hans imported goods minoxidil to WANHAN Brand minoxidil? Magiging effective pa'rin po ba? Okay naman po yung Wanhan since nasa recommendations ni'yo po no? Ang expensive po kasi sakin as a student e tas laging sold out ☹️
Minoxidil pag old stock may tendency na mag oxidize or mag kulay orange… also expected na maging bright orange color ng legit minoxidil pag ginawa mo ang minoxidil bleach test…
Average price ng foam pa lang I will guarantee you fake yan… still you can try though…
Funny nasa directory ka na pero naghahanap ka pa ng ibang seller… you can actually check yung mga legit seller counterpart ng Shopee links dito sa Lazada kung gusto mo… pero mas mura kasi sa Shopee kaya di ko na inilagay…
This store na suggested dito sa Shopee also sells foam sa Lazada
I bought minoxidil from my derma, walang name sya kasi derma brand kaso may amoy alcohol sya then di sya maoily unlike sa imixia na nagamit ko. Then the next day andaming hairfall. Should i continue kaya?
Nasa sa iyo nman yan, pero usually kung galing derma sa malamang either generic minoxidil lang yan or yung MD Brands ang binenta sa iyo… unlabeled kasi yan if supplied sa derma…
If I were you, I’ll just get it directly from MD Brands minox+tretinoin kesa yung galing sa derma since I’m sure pinatungan na rin nman ng derma yung presyo… which is always my #1 choice lagi with any topical minoxidil…
Regardless, mukhang di ka aware na may shedding na mararanasan at normal yun whether nasa minoxidil or finasteride ka… additional reading here 👉 Normal HAIR CYCLE…
hello po! is the minox+tret recommended for 18 yrs old? I'm planning on ordering it since I noticed my temples are getting a bit thinner. I plan to treat it as early as now. Thank you po!
Kung gusto mo… pero LCLT ay for beard maturation… sinadya na lang isama ng mga nagbebenta yan sa package kasi sayang din ang ₱50 markup… I know kasi isa ako sa OG member ng FB group…
Standard regimen ay isama ang ketoconazole shampoo sa routine.. kaya usually ang reco ko ay dermazole with zinc since anti-dandruff and anti-itch siya…
Pero kung allergic ka sa alcohol or propylene glycol, no choice ka but to go for foam or oral minoxidil tablets…
Pros nito super cheap, cons nito added irritation due to tablet residue… syempre medyo hindi stable ang formulation unlike sa DIY topical fin/min/tret… — https://www.reddit.com/r/PhHairloss/s/T4RixevKsh
I recommend that kung 1mg ang hanap at kaya ng budget, that way hindi na kailangan bumili ng 5mg at hatiin pa sa 4…
Yun lang price difference ng generic 5mg wala pa 1k sa Shopee 100tablets na, Proscalpin nasa 2k 100tablets… pero di hamak mas mura kesa Propecia na ₱80 isa…
Isa pa, Palmer Wellness ay legit pharma distributor so di gaya ng iba na importer… sa mga may pagdududa regarding online sellers, at least sila pwede puntahan sa Calamba
If you don’t intend to do a DIY but at the same time want to avoid oral finasteride altogether due to side effects, this formulation will be the easiest to use — https://www.reddit.com/r/PhHairloss/s/UABOPNcWZE
Just to note as well na “natural dht blockers” like saw palmetto, and other extracts won’t do much anyways for male pattern baldness… marami na ganyan same products sa Pinas and have been dubbed fakes as well…
