Compare to the active ingredient in Men’s Rogaine® Extra Strength.
Don’t let thinning hair affect your confidence. Equate Minoxidil Topical Solution USP, 5% is an extra-strength, unscented hair regrowth treatment designed specifically for men experiencing gradual hair loss on the top of the scalp (the vertex area). This clinically proven formula works to reactivate dormant hair follicles, helping to stimulate natural hair regrowth and restore a fuller, thicker appearance over time.
Formulated with 5% minoxidil, the #1 dermatologist-recommended active ingredient for hair regrowth (based on surveys of U.S. physicians conducted by an independent market research firm), this extra-strength topical treatment delivers trusted, long-lasting results when used as directed.
How It Works
Hair loss in men often occurs when hair follicles shrink and gradually stop producing new strands. Minoxidil works by increasing blood flow to the scalp, which helps supply oxygen and essential nutrients to the hair follicles. This process helps to revitalize and enlarge shrunken follicles, supporting stronger, thicker hair growth over time.
With consistent use, Minoxidil 5% helps prolong the hair’s natural growth phase, leading to visible regrowth in areas affected by male pattern thinning.
What to Expect
Hair regrowth takes time — patience and consistency are key. Some men may begin to notice early signs of regrowth, such as reduced shedding or the appearance of fine “baby hairs,” within 2 to 4 months of twice-daily application. For others, results may take up to 6 months to become noticeable.
Continued use is necessary to maintain results. If the product is discontinued, the regrown hair may be lost, and the hair loss process can resume.

Who Should Use This Product
Equate Minoxidil 5% is designed for men experiencing gradual hair thinning or balding on the crown and top of the scalp. It is not intended for use on the frontal hairline or receding temples, as these areas typically do not respond to minoxidil treatment.
This product is for men only and should not be used by women, as the higher 5% concentration may cause unwanted side effects or excessive hair growth in other areas.
