I have already tried hair growth products and they did nothing. Why would this be different?+
Because what you tried was almost certainly water, alcohol and a molecule too big to get past your skin, or a vitamin that went through your gut and never reached your scalp. Your follicle root sits 4 mm down. Anything over about 500 Daltons stays on the surface. FST-5's peptides are 340 to 888 Daltons, small enough to reach the root.
Does it work for women and men?+
Yes. It is applied to the scalp and works on the follicle signal, which is the same in everyone. Women use it for postpartum, menopause and GLP-1 related shedding and diffuse thinning. Men use it for a thinning crown and receding hairline.
How long before I actually notice something?+
Most people notice less shedding in the first 2 to 3 weeks. Baby hairs at the hairline and less scalp showing usually appear between week 4 and week 8. Full density takes 3 to 5 months, because hair only grows about half an inch a month. Give it 100 days. If nothing changed, we refund you.
Will it make my hair greasy or mess with my styling?+
No. FST-5 is a light, watery serum, not an oil or a foam. One dropper along your part absorbs in about 20 seconds. No residue, no smell, no stained pillowcases. Apply it at night or after a shower and style as normal.
Is 2% aminexil safe? I have a sensitive scalp.+
Yes. Aminexil has been used in salon hair-loss ampoules for over 20 years at 1.5%. FST-5 uses 2% alongside soothing botanicals like centella, licorice and aloe. There is no minoxidil, no alcohol burn and no hormones. If your scalp is very reactive, start with half a dropper for the first few nights and build up.
Can I use it with minoxidil, finasteride or my other products?+
Yes. FST-5 works on a different pathway, the follicle signal rather than blood flow or hormones, so it stacks with anything you already use. Many people use it to come off minoxidil without the dread shed: keep both for 4 weeks, then taper the minoxidil. It is fine with shampoos, oils and supplements.
What if I miss a night?+
Nothing bad happens. The peptides work on the follicle's growth cycle, which runs over weeks, not hours. Missing one or two nights will not undo your progress. Just start again the next night.
