New Men's ROGAINE® Unscented Topical Foam is formulated to fit easily into any man's grooming routine with no fuss and no telltale fragrance.  It's the same clinically proven, easy-to-use foam that regrew hair in 85 percent of men with twice daily use(1).  ROGAINE® quickly penetrates into the scalp to revitalize hair follicles that have become dormant and stimulate hair growth.

Valuable consumer insight showed ROGAINE® that 57 percent of current users wished the product was unscented and 51 percent used the product less frequently due to the fragrance(2).  The brand removed the fragrance to encourage better consumer usage. ROGAINE® should be used twice daily for best results.

If you experience hair loss, you are not alone: 40 percent of American men suffer from Hereditary Hair Loss.  Hereditary Hair Loss accounts for 95 percent of all hair loss and can come from either side of the family.

According to a recent survey by Wakefield Research on behalf of the ROGAINE® Brand, Americans consider hair one of their best features, second only to their eyes.  More than one-third of Americans (35 percent) have actively tried to hide their thinning hair – by wearing a hat, styling their hair in a special way, wearing a toupee or wig or using spray-on hair(3).  Doctors advise that it is easier to keep the hair you have than to restore what you have lost.  ROGAINE® is the #1 dermatologist-recommended brand for hair regrowth.

Men's ROGAINE® Unscented Topical Foam will be available nationwide February 2011 at food, drug and mass retailers, or online at www.rogainedirect.com ($29.99 for a one-month supply and $49.99 for a three-month supply).
