Foligain Minoxidil Lotion 5% for Men

Foligain's 5% minoxidil lotion for men is applied with a dropper, twice a day, directly on the thinning areas. It carries the same clinically proven active ingredient as the pharmacy brands, at the standard strength for men.

Available as 3, 6, 9 and 12-month supplies. Minoxidil is only fair to judge somewhere between month three and month six, so the larger packs are the ones that actually get you to an answer — and they cost less per month.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply Foligain minoxidil lotion?

Use the dropper to apply roughly 1ml to the thinning areas of a dry scalp, twice a day. Let it absorb for about four hours before washing your hair, swimming, or applying styling product — washing it off early reduces how much is absorbed.

How long before I see a difference?

Most people notice less shedding after 2 to 3 months and visible improvement after 3 to 6 months of daily use. It works gradually, which is why the multi-month packs exist — they keep you supplied through that window instead of running out mid-course.

What if my scalp reacts to the lotion?

Some people find the propylene glycol in standard lotion causes itching or flaking. If that happens, Foligain's sensitive-skin lotion or a propylene-glycol-free foam are the usual alternatives.

What happens if I stop using it?

Minoxidil only works while you use it. Stop, and hair gained is typically shed again within 3 to 4 months as thinning resumes its previous course.

Is this genuine stock?

Yes — sealed, original stock only, dispatched the same working day on orders placed before 23:00. Read the package leaflet before use.
