Essengen-5 NO PG FAST DRY: A professionally formulated hypoallergenic, non-greasy, fast drying 5% Minoxidil.
This product is perfect for both men and women who are allergic to regular liquid minoxidil such as Rogaine or Kirkland minoxidil because of the propylene glycol in it. This product is free of propylene glycol (PG, PPG). Glycerin is used to replace propylene glycol to avoid scalp irritation. Â It is estimated that 2 out of 10 users are allergic to propylene glycol. This product is also very suitable for those who do not like the greasiness of regular minoxidil and wish to have a clean and fast drying minoxidil.Â
New: Product with glycerin is usually associated with greasiness and slow absorption. We recently improved this formulation and made it dry extremely fast. We are confident to say that this new formula is the fastest drying and cleanest 5% minoxidil, liquid or foam, on the market. It dries even faster than 5% minoxidil foam. The product used to be called Essengen-5 NO PG. It was changed to Essengen-5 NO PG Fast Dry  in January, 2018 after the formulation had been improved.
If you want to use a product with 5% minoxidil only (without any other ingredient like azelaic acid, or finasteride)  that is clean, non-greasy, fast drying, and good for sensitive skin or scalp, this product is your perfect choice. Because this product is in liquid form, it works better than 5% minoxidil foam due to better penetration and absorption.
If you want to use a minoxidil product with higher strength or with additional ingredients, you can check out other products we offer. You can see the comparison of all the products here.Â
This product is also very suitable for using on the face to grow a beard. New Jan 2023:Â Â we launched a new product called Maxogen-B, a 5% minoxidil product that is not only PG free but also alcohol free. We also boost its effectiveness by incorporating biotin and caffeine into the product.Â

Been using for 3 months, hair is much fuller through out. Massive increase in scalp density, can no longer see my skin through my hair. Hairline has a lot of fine regrowth which is slowly getting thicker. I no longer feel I need to wear a hate everywhere.
I have used topical minoxidil for over 10 years. Approximately 9 months ago I noticed significantly more greasiness with the Rogaine, Kirkland and other generic formulations. After searching online I located this product which I have found very useful. There is none of the greasiness that weighted down my extremely fine hair.
Great products. Have tried may different minoxidil products over the years, but most have caused irritation after 2 weeks or so. Essengen-5, dualgen-5 no pg & dualgen-5 fast dry all work well without causing irritation.
They dry fast, can use them in the morning without affecting the appearance of my hair.
With them drying so quickly there can be some buildup but using a shampoo with ketoconazole every week or keeps the scalp clear
After only 2 days, the itch is gone. Ditto the yellow tint. Ditto the grease. Thx for the free sample. From now on, I’ll be ordering it. Regards.
I am thrilled that after so much research I finally found a product that doesnt make me get allergies! So excited to see my hair grow without the terrible hives that I got with Rogaine.
I have a sensitive scalp and tried countless Minoxidil producers but non worked like the one from MinoxidilMax which produced zero scalp irritation. One year of use and not planning to stop.
Ive been using Minoxidil Max for many years now and im honestly happy they exist. Your mileage may vary, but the products really work and the are one the cutting edge of clinically proven science for hair regrowth – all at a much better price point for similar products. Highly recommend.
I started using this several months ago after the regular minoxidil made my head itch. This feels fine, goes on easily, dries quickly, and I can still wear my hair as normal. Thus far I have about an inch or more of new growth, and the shedding of old hair has nearly ceased.
I use it over the year and it is perfect.
I recently started using this product. For the first month, I used minoxidil 5% with PG, but it was slow to dry and left my hair looking a little greasy. As such, I made the switch to Essengen-5 (no PG). It dries very quickly and my scalp does not feel or look greasy after it dries. It is still early, but I am already getting some results. Most of my hair loss has taken place at my temples, with diffuse thinning on my crown. As you can see on my photos, I am already getting small vellus hairs (baby hairs) that have begone to grow on my temples. While I can’t really see any new hairs on my crown yet, the region feels a little more fuzzy, so I believe it is beginning to work there as well. Hopefully these vellus hairs will convert to terminal hairs in time. So far I am satisfied with Essengen-5 and the results.
