Polaris NR-08  and Polaris NR-07 are the two entry level products offered by Polaris Laboratories. They have very similar ingredients. The only difference is that the NR-08 has higher concentration of Minoxidil and azelaic acid than NR07 (see the ingredient comparision). It is not quite clear why Polaris makes two products that are so similar. It might be that the Polaris NR-07 is for US market, and the NR-08 is for mainly for international market. Experienced users may notice that NR-07 is quite similar to Lipogaine for men, except that it lacks the key ingredient Azetinol in Lipogaine.
