Elevate 5% Minoxidil Hair Growth Spray for Men & Women - 1 to 2 Month Supply, 100ml

No benefit

UPDATE! I never leave updates but felt I needed to for this product. It's been a good two months since I started using this and IT WORKS!!! I can see the improvement in the form of new baby hair growing not only at my temples but throughout my hair! I'm so excited!!!!! I've used so many different brands that I can honestly say this is the easiest to use by far. I can't speak to the effectiveness as I've only been using for a week,but considering it's the same main ingredient as the higher priced products, I expect this to work. I've seen other reviews saying it leaves their hair greasy, I haven't experienced this. A few tips. I brush my hair pretty vigorously, focusing on the scalp to open the pores. Then I part my hair, place the nozzle on my scalp and very gently squeeze the trigger so it's dispensed only a small amount to my scalp. Once I've applied I run my brush through my hair again. Doing this, it avoids wasting the product and I get no greasy hair. This is meant for the scalp not hair! It's labled as unscented but I did notice a not unpleasant slight woodsy smell the first time I used it. This is labled as unscented but I did notice a slight woodsy smell the first time I used it, that doesn't linger and isn't noticable once it's dry. Now onto customer service, this is the great thing about a small company. The insert in the package gives you the option of registering for a lifetime warranty. At first I was confused but went ahead and did it anyway. I included my phone number, which I was sceptical about only to be pleasantly surprised when I received a text from an actual person! Not a canned robo text asking for my address so they could send me a free bottle. Not even a shipping cost! My new bottle arrived within just a few days.

This is an excellent product. I’ve tried three other Minoxidil products and they all made my scalp burn and itch. This one causes no burning. The applicator bottle is also excellent, easy to use and precise. The consistency of the liquid is perfect.

UPDATE 6/2022: pic on the far right is when I started noticing the tiniest bit of my thinning hair & decided to start do something abt it. Middle Pic is after 1 month of use w/ the spray & u can obviously see I’m worse for wear! Whew! Pic furthest left is after another month of use w/ the spray & my scalp is looking a lil better here. The instructions even say that things may get worse b4 getting better so there’s that as well. I’ll update you guys in another month! —————- I’m in my 3rd week so a little early to tell but I can tell certain spots are filling in. Been dealing with a lot of stress and I think my hair is thinning as a result—a half dollar bill size in the hairline right behind the center of my forehead. Or I’m getting alopecia or something, idk but I’m only 38 so trying to get ahead of this. Product has NO smell, easy application, & doesn’t run once I rub it in my scalp. I’m on my 3rd week and I’ll need a new bottle after this week so 1 bottle per month (for me). I took before pics but once I have a good “after” pic, I’ll post it.

A couple of years ago I noticed that my son's beautiful Irish-setter-red hair had thinned to the point where his scalp was showing pretty much EVERYWHERE. This just broke my heart to see. We cannot afford those super-popular pills that are all the rage these days so I began researching to find more affordable means to either stop or slow down his hair loss. I finally decided that of all the reviews I had read that this Elevate with 5% Minoxidil showed the most promise AND we could actually AFFORD it. My son, now 44, started using it in January and within just 2-weeks there were already new little baby hairs showing ! Our barber confirmed it. His hair is continuing to slowly fill in. Comparing pictures taken at Christmas to those taken just today, his scalp no longer shines brightly through. Our barber is AMAZED at just how QUICKLY his hair is filling in. I also started using the Elevate and my own hair now starting to slowly fill in. Our barber says that mine is taking longer because of my age. (I'm 66.) Plus, because my hair is silver-gray in color, it's just harder to see the new growth. All of this in only 8 months. I expect that by this time next year we'll look pretty much our regular selves again. (Well, my SON will, at least.) We started off using the dropper bottles but then switched to the spray bottles simply for convenience. I would heartily recommend this product to ANYBODY to give it a try for at least a 3-month period to see if it will work for them. (Because NOTHING works equally for EVERYBODY.)

I haven't tried the product yet, but here's important information about it. On the box, it says "Questions or comments? Send us an email message!" There isn't an email address anywhere on the packaging. Much of the typeface on the product and box is less than 6 points, way too small to read for many people. The "On" and "Off" markings are raised lettering of clear on clear plastic. It's invisible unless you happen to tilt the container on its side. There is no reason to tip the container on its side. All this could have been easily addressed by including a package insert with black ink on white paper with a minimal 12 point typeface. The "Backed by Science" section of the box text cites a study of 5%, 2%, and placebo monoxidil users that claims the 5% minoxidil solution users had 45% more hair growth than the 2% users. They don't mention any comparison between the 2% and placebo groups. If the 2% and placebo groups showed the same results, that means there was 0% improvement. Forty-five percent of nothing equals nothing. It's possible that the 2% users had less hair growth than the placebo users, meaning they lost hair. Forty-five percent of a negative number is still a negative number, meaning the 5% users experienced hair loss, but not as much as the 2% users. I would have preferred to address these questions directly with the manufacturer rather than in public, but, you know, no email address.
