What is the difference between minoxidil foam and minoxidil solution?

There are two main differences between minoxidil foam and minoxidil solution:

• The application process: The foam can be applied with your hands, while the solution requires a dropper. Both ways are effective and it’s up to you which one you prefer.
• The ingredients: Some people are sensitive or allergic to certain ingredients found in minoxidil solution that aren’t included in the foam.

Whether sold as a foam or as a solution, minoxidil is an FDA-approved treatment for male pattern baldness that works for approximately 70% of individuals. The foam and solution versions are equally effective at stopping hair loss (and even promoting regrowth for some men).
