Why is a 12.5% Minoxidil Solution more effective than other 12.5% minoxidil lotions, creams or gels?
A. The absorption of minoxidil from a cream, gel or lotion is less efficient than with a solution because only the molecules directly adjacent to the skin can absorb into the scalp. In a true solution, such as the 12.5% Minoxidil Solution, the solute (minoxidil molecules), move freely within the solvent, whereas in a cream, lotion or gel, a substantial quantity of the minoxidil molecules remain suspended and unavailable within the viscous base.
