Hi
I’ve discovered this new product at the pharmacy – Bionike Defence Hair
It seems to do the same work as minoxidil 5%, but as opposed to minoxidil, I can actually feel a definite tingling sensation on my scalp with Bionike the moment I apply it(as if it may work more effictively).
What’s your opinion on this product? Does it have the same chemistry as minoxidil and is it maybe even beter?
Thanks
From the list of ingredients (Adansonia Digitata, aesculin, ximeninic acid, amino acids, superoxide dismutase), there’s nothing that appears to be proven as a hair regrowth treatment. The description claims that it blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT, but a topical spray like this has yet to show results that come close to the oral DHT blockers. It likely doesn’t have the same chemistry as minoxidil.
I don’t recall ever hearing of the product before your email, but if it works for you, that’s great news! To my knowledge there is no connection between tingling and reversing the hair loss process… so you could just be experiencing a reaction to the ingredients (whether it is positive or allergic, I couldn’t say).
