A user made a 70/30 ethanol/propylene glycol topical finasteride solution but noticed chunks at the bottom. The discussion focuses on this issue with the DIY hair loss treatment.

The conversation is about creating a DIY topical finasteride solution using ethyl alcohol and propylene glycol. A user suggests using a compounding pharmacy instead.

The conversation discusses the use of ethanol and propylene glycol (PG) in topical solutions for hair loss treatments, specifically Minoxidil. The user dislikes the texture of PG and questions the ideal ratio and necessity of PG in these solutions.

The user is using a 5% minoxidil solution with low propylene glycol and 1 mg of oral finasteride daily but is still experiencing hair shedding, especially at the temples and front. They are concerned about absorption issues and considering adding tretinoin to improve results.

A user is seeking UK-based sources for propylene glycol and ethanol to dilute topical finasteride for hair loss treatment. They currently order from MinoxidilMax but want a faster shipping option.

Different minoxidil formulations affect hair growth and side effects. Higher propylene glycol and pH levels improve effectiveness but can cause scalp irritation.

RU58841 powder is mixed with a 70% ethanol and 30% propylene glycol solution, with some users seeking PG-free alternatives. Minoxidil is also mentioned as a treatment option.

A bodybuilder discusses homebrewing Minoxidil and RU58841 using propylene glycol or MCT. They inquire about the feasibility and potential risks of these methods.

The user is considering adding RU58841 to liquid minoxidil without propylene glycol (PG) due to an allergy and is asking if this combination is effective and if PG is necessary. They have been using finasteride and minoxidil foam, plan to use RU58841 with liquid minoxidil in the evening, and continue finasteride.

Minoxidil can cause scalp itchiness, often due to propylene glycol, and users suggest alternatives like foam formulations without PG, using moisturizing oils, or reducing application frequency. Some recommend ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione shampoos to help with inflammation and itchiness.

Users discuss making topical finasteride solutions by dissolving crushed tablets in ethanol and propylene glycol, with concerns about residue affecting effectiveness. They also mention using minoxidil and oral finasteride, noting some hair regrowth and no side effects from topical use.

Topical finasteride may have higher systemic absorption and lower efficacy when using a Propylene Glycol/Ethanol formulation compared to the hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCH) formulation. The safety profile of topical finasteride relies heavily on the HPCH formulation, and using standard solutions might lead to different pharmacokinetics.

The user is experiencing scalp irritation from using RU58841 with a 70% ethanol and 30% propylene glycol vehicle and is considering switching to a less irritating vehicle, such as 30% ethanol with 70% squalane or emu oil. They are seeking feedback on the effectiveness and irritation levels of these alternative carriers.

Diluting finasteride in a Hims spray can be done using ethanol or propylene glycol to maintain the desired concentration without increasing minoxidil levels. This approach ensures the finasteride concentration is reduced to 0.025% without affecting the minoxidil strength.

The conversation is about someone switching from a hair loss treatment spray with alcohol and propylene glycol to a serum with essential oils, questioning the absorption and effectiveness of the new product. The spray and serum both contain 0.3% finasteride and 6% minoxidil.

The conversation is about making a solution of RU58841 using propanediol instead of propylene glycol due to skin irritation. The user seeks advice on whether this substitution is acceptable.

The conversation is about the effectiveness of Minoxidil formulations with different alcohol and propylene glycol (pg) ratios. The user finds that a formulation with 20% pg and 80% ethanol dries faster but is concerned about absorption time.

A user in Poland created a homemade "oral topical minoxidil" using 2% topical minoxidil, propylene glycol, and vodka due to difficulty obtaining oral minoxidil. They shared a recipe and sought feedback, emphasizing caution and safety in dosing.

The user experienced red pimples and a rash from using topical minoxidil, possibly due to propylene glycol. Suggestions included seeing a dermatologist, switching to foam without propylene glycol, using Nizoral, and adjusting application timing.

The conversation is about making homemade topical finasteride by crushing pills and mixing them with ethanol and propylene glycol or minoxidil. Users discuss sourcing options and share experiences with DIY solutions.

A minoxidil solution with only ethanol and minoxidil may not be properly absorbed without additional ingredients like propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin. It's suggested to use a reputable brand and test the product for authenticity.

Liquid minoxidil caused mild seborrheic dermatitis on the user's eyebrows, likely due to propylene glycol. The user is considering switching to foam or oral minoxidil to avoid irritation on the scalp/temples.

The conversation is about finding a source to purchase TrichoSol online for making DIY topical hair loss treatments without ethanol or propylene glycol. The user is seeking advice on where to buy raw TrichoSol.

The conversation is about using RU58841 for hair loss treatment, specifically mixing it with minoxidil without propylene glycol due to an allergy. The user is considering starting with a lower concentration of RU58841 and making smaller batches to maintain efficacy.

Mixing RU58841 with a solution for hair loss treatment, with suggestions to use propylene glycol and ethanol instead of k&b solution due to scalp irritation. Recommendations include using ketoconazole shampoo for itchiness and considering oral minoxidil if topical causes irritation.

The conversation is about making a 20mg/ml RU58841 solution for hair loss treatment using ethanol and propylene glycol. The user receives advice on calculating the correct amount of RU58841 powder needed.

Topical Minoxidil and RU58841 can make hair look brittle and thin, possibly due to the propylene glycol in their solutions. Some users experience side effects like heart palpitations with RU58841, while others have no issues.

The user wants to make a topical finasteride solution using wound cleanser with 70% IPA and add 40% propylene glycol due to headaches from minoxidil. They seek advice on using the wound cleanser and recommendations for pharmaceutical/cosmetic grade IPA in India.

A user seeks advice on mixing RU58841 serum using European ingredients, specifically struggling to find propylene glycol. They are looking for alternatives to American products commonly recommended in guides.
