Why don't people talk about Revita as much as Nizoral?

[JohnC43]

Is it not nearly as effective or is it the price?

The main ingredient is the same, the difference is that Revita don't have sls and plus contains other stuff. But can't beat Nizoral 2%

One of the mods is saying that you can get Revita that has 2% keta in the UK. How much of a difference does 2% make over 1%? In reviews it says only 7% hair regrowth over 6.4% for the 1%.

You can't get 2% revita, but you can get 2% nizoral

Thanks for the link in the pm. Wouldn't the extra ingredients in Revita outweigh the 1% more keta in nizoral?

Is Revita meant to be left on your hair? If it's just a shampoo, no matter how awesome the ingredients it seems like money would be better spent on other topicals. The only two active ingredients that stand out on the list are ketoconazole and the CP's... it might just make more sense to buy 2% nizoral and rotate with the tricomin shampoo.

How long do ppl leave nizoral in?

 

[treadstone]

Most people leave it in somewhere between 5-10 minutes. Some people experiment with leaving it on for a few hours or overnight.

Cool. Do they sell 2% in the US, or is cheaper to buy it online?

 

[kento]

Revita got 1% which is maybe better than Nizoral 1%, but if you scalp can handle Nizoral 2% go for it

My personal opinion is that Revita initially held great promise - but didn't deliver. I went through 2 bottles back to back - and no help (for me anyway).

Have there been any posts anywhere claiming that Revita stopped hairloss and/or helped w/ regrowth? I don't recall any.

Some saying it stopped their shed if i remember rightly

Two bottles lasted you how long exactly?

1) You've been on this board long enough to know that anonymous forum posts are not the way to determine the legitimacy of a product.

2) You've been on this board long enough to know that the vast majority of people who see success never mention it.

3) You've been on this board long enough to know that 2 bottles of even the most effective treatment on earth wont last a sufficient enough time to show results.

4) My understanding is that Revita is first and foremost a replacement for Nizoral. Its not a new rogaine and it doesn't exist to stop or reverse hair loss or grow cosmetically noticeable hair on its own.

So I don't understand your post.

That is totally, absolutely, unequivocally not recommended. Who is doing this? That will destroy your scalp skin. Terrible practice, very bad advice. :thumbdown2: Nizoral 1% is sufficient for hair loss sufferers, and it only needs to be left on the skin for the duration of the shower. No longer. It is to be used once every 3 days as well. Maybe more frequently if your itching and inflammation is really bothering you. This mentality that "more is always better" is a very simplistic, uneducated way of looking at treating hair loss. 2% is not necessary for most people and leaving it on overnight is not only unnecessary, its damaging.

My tone is a reflection of frustration at the lack of extremely basic information some people maintain, despite all the information on this site.

I know exactly what he was saying. You don't need to re-explain it for me. I responded directly to what he wrote already.

You can't see results with 2 bottles of anything. That is a basic, obvious, well known truth about hair loss treatments. Posts like his frustrate me because they reflect a total lack of understanding about even the basics of treating hair loss, despite the literal mount everest quantity of it all over this site.

The fact that he has over 1,500 posts makes it even worse that he would make the statement he made. Revita is not a hair loss treatment as far as I know. If I am wrong, then I stand corrected. But even if it is, his comment is still invalid for the reasons I stated.

Please stop quoting the entire post. There is a thread about this in the "General Discussions" area.

Hi Grantspots . . .

> Two bottles lasted you how long exactly?

16 months (4-5 x weekly).

And about the not quoting the entire quote netiquette tip - thanks. Didn't realize that was a no-no.

Then why did you just do it again immediately above?
