1. Foam is faster acting and doesn’t need to be rinsed off afterward as it doesn’t dry greasy typically
2. Yes, the greasiness increases with cheaper brands, but kirkland is the most cost effective
3. Hypotension, low blood pressure effects like dizziness and increased heartbeat, but that’s orally, some report adverse effects on collagen but that may be due to the alcohol that dries out skin so make sure to moisturize afterward
4. Pros: Increased hair growth in areas you apply topically, thicker and darker hair, can be sort of expensive. Cons: skin irritation in some people, may dry out skin, and will increase photo sensitivity so make sure to use an spf when you go out, also can make you hypotensive.
5. No it’s not cope as long as...

5. No it’s not cope as long as you’re a decent responder, there are a select few that will see major improvement, and others that see less.

If you do see less improvement or if you want to supercharge your results then consider adding micro needling with a .5 mm length once or twice a week at most to ensure adequate recovery, oral castor oil to enhance growth, maybe even topical castor oil as well, .5 to 1% tretinoin, ketoconazole shampoo, your last resort should be oral minox but beware that this is where you will experience the most side effects
