jjonesFolligen turns bright green when mixed with minox
Applying folligen a few minutes after minox, my scalp and hands turn hulk green.
Did the folligen go through some chemical change?
Is it still active?

Dr. PickartUse less Folligen. Some of the copper seems to have been oxidized from copper +2 to copper +3 by some ingredient in the minoxidil solution.
But greenish creams often occur and they work very well. I have thought of making products with copper +3 but it is difficult to work with.

jjonesHi Dr. Pickart
Even when using a little bit of folligen, it still turns green.
Has anyone else using both minox and folligen reported this? I am using rogaine minox foam.
How long does it take folligen to absorb? Perhaps I can apply that first and then wash off later to apply minox.
I know you said green creams still work well but id rather folligen be at its utmost potential

Dr. PickartSome people mix Folligen and Minoxidil in a salad shaker and then apply the mixture.
