Hi Guys,
I'm a 31 yr old male at NW2 with half an inch of receded hairline.
Although I have a good overall regimen and its been working ok, the hairline is still very slowly receding. I need to add one product to the hairline.
My current regimen is:
Propecia
Revivogen X1 day (because the Prop alone did not work well)
Generic Minox 2% (crown & mid-scalp) X2 day
Kirkland Minox 5% X2 day
Nizoral
L-Lycine
I've had some overall thickening and also at the temples. But the hairline in the mid front is slowly receding. I want you guys to debate on which of the 4 products below is best for the hairline. I'm going to add one considering you guys suggestions:
1) Xandrox 15% by Dr.Lee
2) Remox II 12.5% + Retin-A by Dr.Klein
3) MGF Mega Growth Factor by Lipoxidil
4) Proxiphen by Dr.Proctor
These are all expensive stuff but applying only to the hairline should last 2-3 months per bottle.
I believe these 4 products are the strongest topicals you'll ever find on earth. I'd like to start the debate. I think Xandrox 15 is probably very good but RemoxII has the added retin-A helping to boost even more (although the minox is 12.5% which is less than Dr.Lee's)
As for MGF apart from being a minox in liposome form, it also has the topical dutasteride, 17-a-Estradiol 0.05 %, Flutamide 1.5 %, L-Arginine 2 % mixed in it.
As for Proxiphen it has a good many ingredients but the minox is only 5%. But I like the idea that it has ingredients tackling other angles of hairloss, such as the SODs, copper peptides, TEMPO, PBN, phenytoin
OK guys! Let me know your thoughts!! LETS BOOST THE HAIRLINE NOW!

I love it! This is a great post.
I use Xandrox 15 myself, and haven't used any of the others, but I agree that these are the contenders for the top spots.
I think that the 15% and 12.5% really don't make much of a difference as far as percentage of minoxidil goes, but I think the 15% reduces inflammation whereas retina-A can increase it. I think since inflammation is probably at least partially responsible for pattern hair loss, especially if the hair loss has a component of folliculitis (like folliculitis decalvanze) or other scarring alopecias that perhaps the 15% may have a slight edge. I find that it absorbs quite nicely into the skin even though the concentration of minox is so high.
I think all 4 are probably high quality products, but the one I have a bit of concern about is the Proxiphen, simply because there are so many ingredients that I am worried there may be interactions between all of the drugs in the Proxiphen that may reduce the overall effectiveness of them. However, I think it is still a good product, and others whose opinion I respect swear by it.
The Lipoxidil product is an intriguing one for me. I'd love to try it out. Off to contact Lipoxidil ...
