Kirkland Minoxidil Review

Kirkland Minoxidil

I see these questions pop up all the time on forums, “Does Kirkland Minoxidil Work?” or “Is Kirkland Minoxidil the same as Rogaine?’ For this reason I decided to do a Kirkland Minoxidil Review.

Rogaine is the most popular hair loss product brand out on the market today. They basically spend a lot of money on marketing the name Rogaine with all their commercials and advertisements. If your a newbie and buying your first hair loss product you will most likely buy Rogaine as its what you’ve seen on TV. You don’t see any of the generic brands of minoxidil such as Kirkland Minoxidil on TV marketing their products. They basically ride the coat tails of Rogaine, let Rogaine spend all the marketing money and get a piece of the pie when the hair loss sufferer gets sick of or don’t want to pay the higher prices of Rogaine.

Kirkland Minoxidil Ingredients

To answer the question, Kirkland Minoxidil contains the same active ingredient as Rogaine. This active ingredient called Minoxidil is the first FDA approved topical solution to treat hair loss. Men’s Rogaine formulas are now at extra strength Minoxidil 5% which is the same strength contained in Kirkland Minoxidil. The inactive ingredients are also the same. The difference in the products, other than the marketing might be in the quality of the ingredients used. However, I am not saying and I don’t quite know if Rogaine does use better quality ingredients, I am merely stating that might be a difference between the two.

But as far as whether or not Kirkland Minoxidil is an effective product, does it stop hair loss, and help regrow hair. I would have to say, yes. I have read many customer reviews and comments stating that Kirkland Minoxidil is working as well as Rogaine when it came to stopping hair loss and regrowing hair. The best part of it was that they were spending less than have the price for Kirkland Minoxidil. Now remember though that not every product works for every person out there. But if Rogaine Extra Strength 5% Minoxidil Topical Solution was working for you then the chances are very good that Kirkland Signature Extra Strength 5% Minoxidil will also work for you.

I also want to make clear that I am not knocking Rogaine, as I do think it is a very good and effective product. Its the most famous hair loss treatment brand out there and many male hair loss sufferers don’t mind spending the higher prices for it because they don’t want to take any chances with losing their hair. But if you are on a budget like many people are today or don’t mind using generic products, then give Kirkland Minoxidil a try. Also, there are many male hair loss sufferers that have to or want to use Rogaine Foam for certain reasons which I will get into in the near future.
