How to Spot Fake Minoxidil or Rogaine Sold Online in Malaysia
Quick answer: Be cautious of minoxidil or Rogaine sold far below normal prices, with missing or unclear labels, no batch number or expiry date, unusual packaging, or sellers with no clear business details. Buy from pharmacies or official sellers, check the expiry date and stop using any product that irritates your scalp.
Check the packaging
Look for clear labels, batch numbers, expiry dates and registration details. Compare with photos from the official brand.
Check the seller
Prefer pharmacies and official stores. Be cautious of sellers who cannot answer basic questions.
Ask for help
If in doubt, ask a pharmacist. For Folli-Doc products, buy at our branches or official channels. See Rogaine Malaysia.
