2.5% topical fin too high?

i’m new to this and looking into treatment. I want to start with topical finasteride to prevent any more receding but some of the dosages seem high.

one clinic offers 2.5% liposomal finasteride another clinic offers 0.3% fin

is the liposomal solution supposed to be a higher dose to work? or should i ask for something like 0.05% liposomal fin.

thanks

a 2.5% topical fin concentration is pretty high, and might increase risk of side effects. usually people go with 0.1% to 1%. liposomal versions can improve delivery so they might not need to be as concentrated. you could start with a lower dose like 0.1% or 0.3% to see how you react. check the beginner’s guide for more info.
