A. Yes. There is proportionately less propylene glycol in Dr. Lee’s formulations than there are in 5% Rogaine®/Regaine® and its generic equivalents. The ‘greasy’ feeling due to propylene glycol that is often associated with Extra Strength Rogaine®/Regaine® and their generic versions is not present when using Regrowth LLC’s minoxidil solutions. However, propylene glycol can be quite irritating to the scalp for approximately 7% of the patients. To accommodate those patients who have untoward reactions to propylene glycol, we have formulated minoxidil solutions that substitute hypoallergenic glycerin for propylene glycol.
