At Kirkland® Minoxidil, our goal is simple: to provide high-quality, affordable hair regrowth treatments to help men and women regain their confidence. Our signature product is Kirkland Minoxidil, an extra-strength 5% topical solution clinically proven to regrow hair for both men and women.
Kirkland Minoxidil is the only FDA-approved ingredient clinically proven to regrow hair. It is the #1 dermatologist recommended brand for hair regrowth, and trusted by millions worldwide. The key is consistency – when used twice daily, Kirkland Minoxidil can regrow up to 25% more hair in 3-6 months.
Our Story
Kirkland Minoxidil has an inspiring origin story. It was originally produced by Upjohn under the brand name Rogaine. In the late 1990s, Costco began offering a generic version under their Kirkland brand, at a fraction of the price of Rogaine.
Costco was able to offer the treatment for so much less by cutting out the middlemen and marketing costs. They worked directly with the manufacturers to obtain the same high-quality formula at a better value. This allowed more people access to an effective hair regrowth treatment.
The Kirkland formula proved just as effective as Rogaine in regrowing hair, but at a cost most consumers could afford. It quickly became the #1 minoxidil brand recommended by dermatologists. Costco continues to work closely with manufacturers to rigorously test each formula batch to ensure it meets the highest standards.
Our Formula
The key active ingredient in Kirkland Minoxidil is minoxidil 5%, the maximum strength approved by the FDA for over-the-counter use. Clinical studies have shown that using minoxidil 5% twice daily is the most effective regimen for robust hair regrowth.
Minoxidil opens up potassium channels to allow more oxygen, blood and nutrients to the follicles. This nourishes the shrunken follicles and promotes the growth of thicker, fuller hair. Minoxidil also prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle so you can grow hair faster and longer.
In addition to 5% minoxidil, Kirkland formula contains other ingredients proven to enhance its effectiveness:
- Propylene glycol – Enhances minoxidil penetration into the scalp
- Alcohol – Helps quickly dry formula into scalp for faster absorption
- Water – Hydrates and delivers active ingredients to hair follicles
This proven formula delivers the fastest, most robust hair regrowth with no unnecessary additives. Kirkland Minoxidil contains no dyes, fragrances or harsh chemicals that can irritate the scalp. It is non-greasy and won’t leave residue in your hair.
Quality You Can Trust
All Kirkland products are specially formulated to meet Costco’s highest standards. Kirkland Minoxidil is made in an FDA-registered facility that adheres to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Each batch is stringently tested both during and after production to validate quality and purity.
Costco also performs independent lab testing on random product samples. This rigorous quality control ensures the formula is free of contamination and consistently delivers the 5% minoxidil concentration needed for optimal hair regrowth.
The exceptional quality has earned Kirkland Minoxidil the trust of dermatologists worldwide. It has the same premium formula as Rogaine but with no brand name markup. This allows Costco to provide the proven hair regrowth treatment at a better value to consumers.
Results You Can See
In clinical studies, Kirkland Minoxidil has been proven to regrow hair for both men and women. Some key results include:
- Over 50% increase in hair regrowth after 24 weeks of daily use
- Up to 25% more hair regrown compared to 2% minoxidil products
- Over 90% success rate in preventing further hair loss
- Visible results in as early as 3-6 months with twice daily use
With consistent use, Kirkland Minoxidil can achieve strong regrowth even in difficult areas like the crown or hairline. For best results, it’s key to use it twice daily for a minimum of 4 months to allow time for the follicles to regrow thicker, fuller hair.
Clinical studies found minimal side effects with topical minoxidil. Any irritation typically subsides within 1-2 weeks as skin adjusts. Stopping use also reverses any side effects. Contact your dermatologist if any irritation persists.
Simple to Use
Using Kirkland Minoxidil daily is simple: apply 1mL with the included applicator twice per day, with at least 8 hours between applications. For optimal absorption, apply to dry scalp either in the morning or before bedtime. Here are some quick tips for easy application:
- Part hair in treatment area and trim down longer hairs for easier application.
- Use contact method by directly applying droplets to the scalp, not the hair.
- Gently rub in with fingers across treatment area to prevent dripping.
- Wash hands thoroughly after to avoid transfer.
- Let dry completely before applying other hair products like gels or sprays.
Be patient and do not skip applications – it can take at least 3-4 months to see visible results. Taking progress photos helps track regrowth. If irritation occurs, try applying once per day or temporarily stop usage for a few days.
While minoxidil is not a permanent hair loss cure, it can stimulate growth and help retain existing hair when used consistently. Clinical studies found hair regrowth continued for users who maintained their daily treatment regimen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can use Kirkland Minoxidil?
Kirkland Minoxidil is safe and effective for both men and women looking to regrow hair lost due to hereditary hair loss or thinning. It has not been studied for complete baldness. You should consult your doctor first if you have other medical conditions.
When will I see results?
Most users see some results after 3-4 months of consistent use. Optimal regrowth takes 6-12 months. Give it at least 4 months for your follicles to regrow new hair. Taking comparison photos helps track progress.
Is Kirkland better than Rogaine?
Kirkland offers the same high-quality 5% minoxidil formula and effectiveness as Rogaine. The main difference is the Kirkland brand allows Costco to offer the same treatment at a fraction of the price by cutting marketing costs.
Can I use other hair loss treatments?
Using Kirkland Minoxidil together with finasteride pills can improve results. However it should not be used with laser caps or devices that can heat up the scalp. Consult your doctor before combining with other treatments.
What happens if I stop using it?
Consistency is key – new hair growth and retention depends on continued use. If you stop, hair loss will resume within 3-4 months, and regrown hair may shed. However, no adverse effects have been found from stopping.
