Nope...but may add it to my regimen. They're looking into adding some things to it..such as that seaweed extract- Laminaria angustata - which was discussed at hairsite.

EquiClear

For those with scalp problems. I wonder how it compares to Inflamil. http://www.elsomresearch.com/shopping/p ... ar-027.htm

About a 1.5.....but I started out with major thinning going on up there.

Tried the new Equisomin- much lighter in color and smells a lot better.
