Is liquid Minoxidil or foam Minoxidil more effective? Once or twice a day?

echo338
Is there a difference in efficacy between liquid and foam minoxidil? (both 5%). Should I be using it twice a day? If so, is it ok to use maybe the foam in the morning and liquid at night to cover my bases? Worried the liquid may cause irritation. Also if I am doing double the amount of foam as the instructions say, can that be just as effective as using it twice a day?
