EssenGen-6 Plus
Price range: $40.00 through $104.00
Description
-
Essengen-6 Plus combines two FDA approved ingredients into one solution: 6% minoxidil and 0.05% finasteride.
It is compounded with a reduced amount of propylene glycol to help it dry faster than regular 5% minoxidil solutions (such as Kirkland or Rogaine) and feel less greasy.
It may also help ease scalp itch caused by propylene glycol in some people.
Topical finasteride and minoxidil work synergistically: minoxidil stimulates hair growth, while finasteride helps reduce DHT activity in the scalp to slow hair loss and support regrowth.
Essengen-6 Plus is for anyone who wants both minoxidil and finasteride in one solution. It is suitable for mild, moderate, or advanced hair loss (front, top, or general thinning) and can be used post hair transplant.
Main features:
✔ Contains both minoxidil and finasteride.
✔ Dries fast; odorless and non-greasy.
✔ May reduce the need for oral finasteride (potentially fewer systemic side effects).
✔ Often works better than minoxidil or finasteride alone.

Apply up to 1 mL to the scalp in the hair loss area using the included dropper; use twice daily with at least 8 hours between applications.
Spray application?
If you want to apply Essengen-6 Plus via spray, you can purchase a sprayer.
Five pumps dispenses approximately 1 mL. However, we generally recommend a dropper (included), especially for long or dense hair, to reduce waste on hair instead of scalp.

Topical finasteride may work as effectively as oral finasteride (Propecia®) with potentially fewer side effects.

Was my starter product (in combination with EssenGen-6 Extra) since April 2025 and it really helped to stop my hair loss and regrowing hair. I just love it!

Ik gebruik de Essengen 6 plus nu ongeveer 8 maanden. Het resultaat is verbluffend.
Ik zal het product blijven gebruiken en raad iedereen die ook te maken heeft met haaruitval dit ook te proberen

Review Headline Great product

Review Headline Great product
I was a bit skeptical on trying the product, but after applying twice daily, i got to see some progress after about 4 months. I will be ordering a new ones, but the stronger one. And see from there again.
I’ve been using this product for three months now, and I must say I’m very satisfied with the results! My hair has become thicker and denser, and the difference is clearly visible in my before-and-after photos. The product is very easy to use – it’s simple to apply and dries quickly, so I can continue with my day without any delays.
The only downside for me is that, due to my diffuse thinning, I need to use more than 1 ml each time, which increases the cost over time. However, considering the results, it’s definitely worth the investment. Overall, it’s an excellent product, and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s considering trying it!
I switched recently to essengen6-plus because I didnt see enough results with only minoxidil. I just use it once a day and I finally see some regrowth! I have no side-effects, recommend!
