  7. IS TOPICAL FINASTERIDE...

Is Topical Finasteride with Lipids effective? Is it different from a Liposomal Solution?

March 18, 2016
Asked By:iamjericho in India, IN

I am using Topical Finasteride (0.1%) and Minoxidil (5%) Solution with Lipids. Would it penetrate into the scalp as I've heard Topical Fin only works with Liposomal as the carrier.
