What is Rogaine Foam?

Rogaine is the brand name for Minoxidil, one of only two approved products to treat hair loss as of 2014 (the other being Finasteride). Initially, Rogaine was only approved in a 2% topical version that was later expanded to a 5% topical version. However, in more recent years, Rogaine has been made available in a foam version that is far easier to apply than the topical solution (which often rolls onto the face after application).

Rogaine Foam Pricing

Typically, one can of Rogaine foam lasts for a month (assuming twice a day application) and the retail price of each can is around $20-$30. A pack of 3 cans is often sold for around $50. However, both the one can and three can supplies are often available at significantly discounted prices.

Note that the first of the below two sales is for the women’s product.

Update: Sale prices below might have changed by now.

Although it won’t grow new hair on a bald scalp, Rogaine foam is a very good product for maintaining hair and I use it almost daily.  For best results, you are supposed to use it twice a day, but I never use it more than once a day. Unlike the old liquid version, the foam does not cause a mess or trickle down your face or back of neck, dries rapidly, and actually holds your hair like a weak gel.  Amazon currently has one can for sale at only $10 (usual price = $30) with limited quantities available:

Edit: Seems like the product is sold out at that price. Still some decent discounts for 3 month supplies.
