A member asked:

Capixyl gel and minoxidill 5% combination is more effective then capixyl gel only for androgenitic alopecia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Backwards: Minoxidil has been studied and found to slow hair loss. Capixyl has not appeared in any serious dermatology journals. I wonder why the hucksters selling this latest "amazing" product are afraid to submit it for an honest evaluation? You can guess that it will take its place with hundreds of previous miracle snake oils. Will addition of Capixyl improve minoxidil? I doubt it.
