Reviewing as I Go (Complete)
*************************************1/26/16 - COMPLETE! For those who don't want to read the whole thing, here's a summary:I used Revivogen for 1.5 years. At first, I had a light shed, but that hair grew back. I noticed small, whitish hairs, but they never got darker or longer. The final verdict is that it didn't work for me. I'm currently trying another product called "Lipogaine," which seems like a combination of Revivogen (DHT blocker) and Rogaine (follicle stimulation from minoxidil). I'll try to remember to update this with a verdict on Lipogaine.*************************************I'm going to update this as I go guys.BACKGROUND: I'm almost 27. I saw a video review of this product on a men's wellness site that I use, and I got paranoid about losing my hair. Pattern baldness runs in the family; my younger brother rapidly lost his hairline from 20-22. The way that my hair's styled, I'd never noticed any recession or thinning, but I was paranoid, so I checked, and bingo! There was a little thinning across my hairline. I ordered this immediately. I use it every morning after cleaning up. I also used the shampoo every other day (UPDATE: After a few months, I stopped using the shampoo and switched to regular shampoo.). At first, there's a strong hairspray smell, but that fades within an hour or two. People are exaggerating how bad it smells. The shampoo smells like peppermint.First 3 weeks - I noticed that my hairline got noticeably thinner in spots across the top. I wasn't shocked because the Revivogen website says that it's typical and that it's a good sign. Hairs in the resting and transition stage fall out when Revivogen puts your hair back on the normal growth cycle (by reducing DHT), so that shows that it's working.Weeks 4-6 - I noticed two positive things: 1) "Mini" black hairs are growing in the spots where hair fell out in the first weeks. There's even a weird piece of hair coming out of my forehead. 2) I see tiny, white-ish hairs surrounding my hairline where there wasn't hair before. I'm hoping that these are the "unpigmented" hairs that I read about on the Revivogen site. So far, so good!Day 70 - I'm right on track for what the site describes for the 2-3 month mark. Overall, my hairline looks thicker than a month ago. It's a combination of the pre-existing hairs getting longer/thicker and the hairs that fell out during the shed slowly coming back. There's still some thinness though. I see a lot of tiny black hairs and tiny uncolored hairs, but they haven't gotten longer/thicker yet. I'm not surprised because the website says that they start to get darker and longer by 6-8 months. I'm optimistic because there are a lot of those little hairs, and if they grow/darken, my hairline will be perfect. Guys, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS and stick to the timeline.6 months - It's been a few months since the last update, and I've grown my hair out quite a bit, so it's hard to judge in some spots. I'm definitely not seeing as many hairs come out when I wash, but I can say that not much has changed with those tiny, uncolored hairs around my hairline. I've seen a few black hairs pop out and get long (which is hopefully a good sign) but not many. I'm not worried because the directions say that the miniaturized hairs and uncolored hairs start getting darker and longer after 6 to 8 months. I just got to month 6, so hopefully, I'll see some change over the next 2 months. I just started using my 5th bottle two days ago, so this stuff has been lasting well (1.5 months per bottle).So, far, the stuff that they said would happen has happened on schedule, so I'm going to stick with it for at least another 6 months. I'll post an update in about 2 months.1 Year - It took a little longer to update this than what I expected, but I just passed the 1 year mark, so I wanted to update this.To be perfectly honest, I haven't noticed much change over the last few months. I haven't seen those tiny, whitish hairs get darker or grow longer. My hair is a lot longer than it was when I started using this; it was cut close, but now I've got 1 year of length on the top. That probably makes it harder to judge than if it was the same length.The bottles have lasted for 1.5 - 2 months each.As a side note, a few months back, I realized that this stuff builds up on your scalp pretty thickly, so you have to make sure that you wash it off well. I didn't visually notice it, but when I scratched that area of my head, I noticed that there was a lot of build-up. I guess that I hadn't been washing it off as well as I should have, so it's possible that my results slowed because new applications couldn't "soaking in" due to the build-up. I'm going to use it for another 3-6 months. I'll give another update around and final verdict.1.5 years - Hi guys. Again, it took longer for me to update this than I'd planned, but I'm here to give a final verdict and notes on this.I used Revivogen for approximately 1.5 years. At the end of that time, I didn't notice any improvement in my hairline. In the beginning, I had a slight shed, and that hair grew back, but I didn't notice any additional hair growth. Those tiny, whitish hairs never got darker or longer. For that reason, I moved the rating down to 1 star. It didn't work for me.On a hopeful note, I've moved on to trying another product called "Lipogaine." You can find it on Amazon too. The claimed benefits seem like a combination of Revivogen (DHT blocking) and Rogaine (follicle stimulation from minoxidil). I've been using it for about a month, and I plan to test it for at least 6 months. If I remember, then I'll update this to let you know whether or not the Lipogaine works and post a review on its product page.Hopefully, this has inspired you to leave more helpful and meaningful reviews. Good luck with your battle against hair loss!

Too early to tell
Have only been using it for about 1 month with Minoxidil foam and Nizoral shampoo. No improvements yet, but we'll wait and see.

So far so good
Don't really know if this product is working by itself as I am using in combination with Rogaine and Nizoral shampoo. But my hair is noticeably thicker. It is wet/runny so I put it on before going to bed at night. Have not seen any stains on the pillowcases.

Smells SOOOO Bad!
This stuff smells SOOOO bad that I only used it once. Honestly, I can see someone who is single, and lives alone using this, because anyone within 10 feet of you will be able to smell it. I will never use it again.

I think it is working
It has been a month using this product and I started to feel some hair growth but I can be sure of it only after completing the course of 6 months. The application is easy however it is making the hair dry, for which I bought their shampoo and conditioner which made my scalp dry and itchy. Now I am back to Head & shoulders and my scalp looks fine.
