Kormesic 5% Minoxidil Biotin Scalp Serum

Description

General Product Properties

The KORMESIC 5% Minoxidil With Biotin Scalp Serum is a professional-grade, leave-in hair growth treatment formulated to address thinning hair, hair loss, and reduced hair density. Manufactured by Kormesic — a brand known for producing targeted, high-efficacy hair and skincare solutions — this 30ml scalp serum combines the scientifically recognized power of 5% Minoxidil with a comprehensive support system of Biotin (Vitamin B7), botanical extracts (Ginger and Panax Ginseng), advanced peptides (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-4, Hexapeptide-3), Hydrolyzed Egg Shell Membrane, and humectants (Glycerin, Propylene Glycol) to create a multi-action formula that targets hair loss from multiple angles.

This serum is designed for those experiencing androgenic alopecia (pattern baldness), general thinning, receding hairlines, and weakened hair strands. It is suitable for both men and women, and can be used on the scalp, hairline, and even the beard area.

The formula is built around a sophisticated blend of active ingredients, each chosen for its scientifically documented role in hair growth and scalp health:

• 5% Minoxidil— The cornerstone active ingredient. Minoxidil is a potassium channel opener originally developed as an oral antihypertensive, but its potent side effect of hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth) led to its topical use for androgenetic alopecia. It is one of only two FDA-approved active ingredients for hair regrowth. Minoxidil works by stimulating hair follicles and prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. It increases blood flow to the scalp, delivers more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles, and reactivates dormant or miniaturized follicles. This results in thicker, longer, and more numerous hair strands over time.
• Biotin (Vitamin B7)— Also known as vitamin H, Biotin is an essential B-complex vitamin that plays a critical role in keratin production — the structural protein that makes up hair, skin, and nails. Biotin helps reinforce weak strands, improve hair resilience and structure, and support thicker-looking hair over time. It is included in the formula to strengthen the hair from within, reducing breakage and improving overall hair quality.
• Panax Ginseng Root Extract— A traditional Korean medicinal herb used for over 2,000 years. Ginseng is rich in biologically active compounds called ginsenosides, which have potent antioxidant properties. In hair care, ginseng is believed to enhance scalp nutrition and metabolism by improving blood circulation to the scalp, which supports healthier hair follicles and improved growth conditions.
• Ginger Root Extract (Zingiber Officinale)— A warming, stimulating botanical that helps maintain a healthy scalp environment. Ginger extract has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that help soothe the scalp, reduce irritation, and support optimal conditions for hair growth.
• Peptide Complex (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-4, Hexapeptide-3)— The serum contains a sophisticated peptide complex that works at the cellular level to support scalp and hair health. Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 (part of the trademarked Capixyl technology) helps combat hair loss by stimulating the synthesis of key Extracellular Matrix (ECM) components in the scalp — increasing type III collagen expression by 65% and laminin expression by 285%, resulting in a stronger ECM bed for hair anchoring. It also inhibits the 5-α-reductase enzyme (which converts testosterone to DHT — the hormone responsible for pattern baldness) and reduces micro-inflammation around hair follicles. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 (part of the famous Matrixyl 3000 complex) is a collagen fragment peptide that signals the skin to produce new collagen, supporting overall scalp health and structural integrity.
• Hydrolyzed Egg Shell Membrane— A unique ingredient rich in naturally occurring collagen (types I, V, and X), hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, and chondroitin sulfate. It functions as a moisturizer and humectant, helping to nourish and condition the scalp while supporting healthy follicle function.
• Hydrating Base (Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, PEG-10, 1,2-Hexanediol)— The serum is formulated with a carefully balanced blend of humectants and moisturizing agents that provide moisture balance to the scalp without greasiness. Glycerin is a skin-identical ingredient that attracts and holds moisture, while Propylene Glycol acts as a penetration enhancer, helping the active ingredients absorb more effectively into the scalp. This ensures the scalp remains hydrated and comfortable, even with twice-daily use.
• Alcohol-Free Formula— The serum is alcohol-free, which is a significant advantage for scalp treatments. Many hair loss products contain high concentrations of alcohol, which can dry out and irritate the scalp. This alcohol-free formula is gentler and more suitable for long-term daily use, even for those with sensitive scalps.

Key properties of the serum include:

• 5% Minoxidil concentration— Clinically recognized as the optimal concentration for effective hair regrowth in both men and women
• Multi-action formula— Combines Minoxidil with Biotin, botanical extracts, and peptides for comprehensive support
• Non-greasy, fast-absorbing texture— Lightweight, crystal-clear liquid that absorbs quickly without leaving residue
• Alcohol-free— Gentle on the scalp, suitable for sensitive skin and long-term daily use
• Leave-on treatment— Applied directly to the scalp and left to work — no rinsing required
• Targeted application— Designed for precise application to thinning areas
• Suitable for both men and women— Unisex formula for all hair types
• Clinically effective active— Minoxidil is one of the few FDA-approved ingredients for hair regrowth
• 30ml convenient size— Ideal size for daily use and travel

Detailed Benefits

1. Stimulates Hair Follicles and Reactivates Dormant Growth CyclesHair thinning and loss occur when hair follicles enter a prolonged resting phase (telogen) or become miniaturized due to hormonal and genetic factors. The 5% Minoxidilin this serum works by stimulating follicles to re-enter the active growth (anagen) phase. Minoxidil increases blood flow to the scalp, delivering oxygen, nutrients, and growth factors directly to the follicle roots. This reactivates dormant or miniaturized follicles, encouraging them to produce thicker, longer, and more visible hairs. Over time, the number of actively growing hairs increases, restoring natural hair density and fullness.
2. Promotes Visible Hair Regrowth in Thinning AreasOne of the most clinically validated benefits of Minoxidil is its ability to promote visible hair regrowth. Studies have shown that 5% Minoxidil is significantly more effective than lower concentrations (such as 2%) in producing cosmetically noticeable regrowth. With consistent twice-daily use, users typically begin to see visible improvement in 8 to 12 weeks(approximately 3 to 4 months), with optimal results appearing at 6 to 12 months. The regrowth is most noticeable on the crown (vertex) of the scalp, though it can also be effective for frontal hairline thinning in some individuals.
3. Strengthens Weak, Fragile Hair Strands with BiotinThinning hair is often weak, brittle, and prone to breakage, making it appear even sparser than it actually is. The Biotin (Vitamin B7)in this formula helps reinforce weak strands and improve hair resilience and structure. Biotin is essential for the production of keratin — the protein that makes up the majority of each hair strand. By supporting keratin synthesis at the follicle level, Biotin helps produce stronger, more resistant hair that is less likely to break or snap. This contributes to the appearance of thicker, fuller hair over time.
4. Nourishes the Scalp Environment for Optimal Growth ConditionsA healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair growth. The combination of Panax Ginseng Extract, Ginger Root Extract, Glycerin, and Hydrolyzed Egg Shell Membraneworks synergistically to nourish, hydrate, and maintain a healthy scalp environment. Ginseng improves blood circulation to the scalp, delivering more nutrients to the follicles. Ginger provides antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to keep the scalp free from irritation and infection. The humectants ensure the scalp remains hydrated and comfortable, preventing the dryness and flaking that can occur with some hair loss treatments.
5. Peptide Technology Supports Hair Anchoring and DensityThe serum contains a sophisticated peptide complex that provides benefits beyond what Minoxidil alone can offer. Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3(part of Capixyl technology) works to combat hair loss through a multi-faceted approach: it stimulates the production of key structural components in the scalp’s extracellular matrix (type III collagen and laminins) by up to 285%, creating a stronger foundation for hair anchoring; it inhibits the 5-α-reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone to DHT — the primary hormonal cause of pattern baldness; and it reduces micro-inflammation around hair follicles, which can otherwise damage and miniaturize them. Manufacturer studies show the total impact of this technology is an increased anagen (growth phase) to telogen (resting phase) ratio of +46%, resulting in significantly denser and fuller-looking hair.
6. Prolongs the Hair Growth Cycle for Longer, Thicker HairEach hair follicle goes through a cycle of growth (anagen), transition (catagen), and rest (telogen). In individuals with androgenetic alopecia, the anagen phase becomes progressively shorter, resulting in shorter, thinner, less pigmented hairs. The 5% Minoxidilin this serum works to prolong the anagen (growth) phase, allowing each hair to grow for a longer period before shedding. This means individual hairs become longer, thicker, and more pigmented over time. Combined with the reactivation of dormant follicles, this results in visibly increased hair density, coverage, and fullness.
7. Reduces Hair Shedding and Slows Progressive Hair LossOne of the most distressing aspects of hair loss is the daily shedding of visible hairs. The Kormesic 5% Minoxidil Biotin Scalp Serum helps reduce hair shedding by stabilizing the hair growth cycle. By prolonging the anagen phase and shortening the telogen (shedding) phase, the serum significantly reduces the number of hairs that enter the shedding phase each day. Users typically notice a marked reduction in hair fall within the first 4 to 8 weeksof consistent use. It is important to note that some users may experience a temporary increase in shedding during the first 2 to 6 weeks of use — this is a normal phenomenon called “shedding phase” where older, weaker hairs are pushed out to make way for new, stronger growth.
8. Non-Greasy, Fast-Absorbing Formula for Daily ComfortMany hair loss treatments are known for being greasy, sticky, or difficult to apply discreetly. The Kormesic 5% Minoxidil Biotin Scalp Serum features a lightweight, crystal-clear liquid texture that absorbs quickly into the scalp without leaving any heavy residue or greasy buildup. This makes it ideal for twice-daily use without interfering with your hairstyle or daily routine. The serum can be applied in the morning and evening without making the hair look or feel oily, sticky, or unwashed. It is comfortable to wear throughout the day and does not require any rinsing.
9. Alcohol-Free Formula — Gentle for Long-Term Daily UseOne of the standout features of this serum is its alcohol-free formulation. Many topical hair loss treatments contain high concentrations of alcohol (often isopropyl alcohol or ethanol), which can cause scalp dryness, irritation, itching, and flaking — especially with twice-daily long-term use. The Kormesic serum uses Propylene Glycolas a penetration enhancer and solvent instead of alcohol, making it significantly gentler and less drying. This means it is suitable for those with sensitive, dry, or easily irritated scalps and can be used consistently for the long term (6–12+ months) without causing discomfort.
10. Suitable for Both Men and Women — Unisex FormulationHair loss affects both men and women, though the pattern and severity may differ. The Kormesic 5% Minoxidil Biotin Scalp Serum is formulated as a unisex product, making it suitable for both men and women experiencing thinning hair, bald patches, or reduced density. The 5% concentration is the standard recommended strength for men, and while 2% is often recommended for women, many women also use 5% successfully under medical guidance. The serum is particularly suitable for:

• Men— With male pattern baldness (receding hairline, crown thinning, vertex baldness)
• Women— With female pattern hair loss (general thinning, particularly on the crown and top of the scalp)
• Both— Experiencing stress-related, age-related, or hormonal hair thinning

11. Improves Overall Hair Texture, Volume, and ManageabilityBeyond its regrowth benefits, the serum significantly improves overall hair texture and manageability. The combination of Minoxidil (which increases blood flow and nutrient delivery), Biotin (which strengthens hair structure), and the hydrating base (Glycerin, Propylene Glycol) works to produce healthier, more resilient hair. Users typically report that their hair feels softer, smoother, and more manageableafter consistent use. The hair also appears more voluminous and has a healthier natural shine.
12. Can Be Used on the Scalp, Hairline, and Beard AreaWhile primarily designed for the scalp, this serum can also be applied to other areas experiencing thinning, including the hairline, temples, and beard area. The targeted application method (drops or spray) allows for precise placement on specific areas of concern. For beard use, the serum can help fill in patchy areas and promote denser, fuller beard growth.
13. Cost-Effective Alternative to Clinical TreatmentsProfessional hair restoration treatments — including PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, low-level laser therapy, and hair transplant surgery — can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. The Kormesic 5% Minoxidil Biotin Scalp Serum offers a highly effective, clinically validated alternative at an accessible price point. With prices typically ranging from 8to20 depending on the retailer, this serum provides significant value compared to in-clinic treatments while delivering proven, visible results with consistent use.
14. Convenient 30ml Size for Daily Use and TravelThe serum comes in a 30ml bottle, which is an ideal size for daily application. At the recommended dosage of 1ml twice daily, one bottle provides approximately 15 days of treatment(30 applications). The compact size makes it easy to carry for travel, gym, or office use, ensuring you never miss an application. Multiple bottles can be purchased in sets or paired with complementary Kormesic hair care products (shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, scalp massage cream) for a comprehensive hair care routine.
15. Supports Long-Term Hair Health and MaintenanceHair loss treatment is a long-term commitment — stopping treatment will cause the hair growth benefits to gradually reverse over 3–6 months as the follicles return to their previous miniaturized state. The Kormesic 5% Minoxidil Biotin Scalp Serum is designed for sustained, long-term useto maintain the regrowth achieved. The gentle, alcohol-free formula is suitable for daily use over extended periods without causing scalp damage or irritation. With continued use, the serum helps maintain thicker, fuller hair and prevents further progression of hair loss.
16. Peptide Synergy for Enhanced ResultsThe inclusion of multiple peptides — Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-4, and Hexapeptide-3— provides a comprehensive approach to scalp and hair health that goes beyond what Minoxidil alone can achieve. This peptide synergy works at different levels of the hair growth process: stimulating ECM components for better hair anchoring, signaling collagen production for a healthier scalp, and supporting overall hair follicle health. This multi-targeted approach enhances the overall efficacy of the serum and provides benefits that supplement and amplify the effects of Minoxidil.
17. Provides a Healthy, Hydrated Scalp FoundationA dry, irritated, or inflamed scalp can impede hair growth and accelerate shedding. The Kormesic serum’s hydrating base— featuring Glycerin (a skin-identical humectant), Propylene Glycol (a moisturizer and penetration enhancer), and PEG-10 — ensures the scalp remains hydrated, comfortable, and receptive to the active ingredients. The Hydroxyacetophenone provides additional soothing and antioxidant benefits, helping to calm the scalp and protect it from environmental stress. This creates the optimal foundation for healthy hair growth.
18. Antioxidant Protection for the Scalp and Hair FolliclesEnvironmental stressors — including UV radiation, pollution, and free radicals — can damage hair follicles and accelerate hair aging. The Panax Ginseng Root Extractand Hydroxyacetophenone in this formula provide antioxidant protection that helps shield the scalp and follicles from oxidative damage. This protection supports the long-term health of the follicles and helps preserve their ability to produce healthy hair.
19. Easy Integration into Any Hair Care RoutineThe Kormesic 5% Minoxidil Biotin Scalp Serum is designed for easy integration into any daily hair care routine. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture and leave-on format mean it can be applied after washing or in between washes without disrupting your styling. The application process takes less than 2 minutes — simply apply 1ml to the scalp, massage gently, and go about your day. It works well with any shampoo, conditioner, or styling product and can be used alongside other hair growth treatments (under medical guidance).
20. Clinically Recognized Active Ingredient with Decades of ResearchUnlike many “miracle” hair growth products on the market that lack scientific validation, Minoxidil is one of the most researched and clinically proven hair growth ingredients in the world. It has been used safely and effectively for hair regrowth for over 30 years and is one of only two FDA-approved active ingredients for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia. When you choose the Kormesic 5% Minoxidil Biotin Scalp Serum, you are choosing a product built on a foundation of sound scientific evidenceand decades of clinical use.

Method of Application

Step-by-Step Usage Guide:

1. Start with a clean, dry scalp— For best absorption, apply the serum to a clean, completely dry scalp. Wash your hair with a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and dry thoroughly before application. Applying to a clean scalp ensures that the active ingredients can penetrate effectively without being blocked by dirt, oil, or product buildup.
2. Measure the correct dosage — 1ml per application— Use the dropper or spray applicator to measure approximately 1ml of serum (about 4–5 sprays or drops). This is the standard recommended dosage for each application. Using more than 1ml does not improve results and may increase the risk of side effects.
3. Apply directly to thinning areas of the scalp— Part your hair to expose the thinning areas (crown, vertex, hairline, temples). Apply the 1ml of serum directly to the scalp — not to the hair. Focus on the areas of most significant thinning. If using for generalized thinning, distribute the serum evenly across the top of the scalp.
4. Gently massage into the scalp using fingertips— Using your fingertips (not your nails), gently massage the serum into the scalp in circular motions for 1–2 minutes. This helps distribute the serum evenly, stimulates blood circulation to the follicles, and enhances absorption. Wash your hands thoroughly after application.
5. Leave on — do not rinse— The serum is a leave-on treatment. Do not wash, rinse, or wipe it off after application. Allow it to absorb fully into the scalp. The lightweight, non-greasy formula should absorb within a few minutes without leaving visible residue.
6. Apply twice daily — morning and evening— For optimal results, use the serum twice daily — once in the morning and once in the evening. Consistent twice-daily application is essential for achieving and maintaining visible hair regrowth. The applications should be spaced approximately 12 hours apart. Do not skip applications.
7. Wait at least 3–4 hours before washing or wetting the scalp— After application, avoid washing your scalp, swimming, or heavy sweating for at least 3–4 hours to allow the Minoxidil to be fully absorbed and begin working. If you apply the serum in the morning, wait at least 3–4 hours before showering or exercising intensely.

Recommended Frequency:

• Standard use:Twice daily (morning and evening) — This is the clinically recommended frequency for visible regrowth results
• Minimum effective use:Once daily — less effective but may be used if twice-daily is not possible
• Duration:Continuous — hair regrowth requires sustained, long-term use. Results are visible at 8–12 weeks (3–4 months) with optimal results at 6–12 months. Stopping treatment will cause the benefits to gradually reverse over 3–6 months.

What to Expect — Results Timeline:

• Weeks 1–2:No visible changes. Some users may notice a temporary increase in shedding as older, weaker hairs are pushed out by new growth. This is a normal and expected phenomenon called the “shedding phase” and is a sign that the treatment is working.
• Weeks 4–8:Shedding should begin to decrease. New, fine vellus hairs (peach fuzz) may begin to appear in thinning areas. Hair may feel thicker and stronger at the roots.
• Weeks 8–12 (2–3 months):Visible improvement in hair density and coverage. New hairs should be more noticeable and may begin to match the texture and pigmentation of existing hair. Reduction in visible scalp through hair.
• Months 4–6:Optimal visible results for most users. Hair appears significantly thicker, fuller, and more voluminous. Continued improvement in density and coverage.
• Months 6–12:Maximum results. Hair density and quality continue to improve. Maintenance phase begins — continue use to sustain results.

Pro Tips for Best Results:

• Consistency is everything— Hair regrowth with Minoxidil requires strict, consistent twice-daily use. Missing applications — especially for several days in a row — can reduce efficacy and delay results. Set a daily reminder on your phone to ensure you never miss a dose.
• Use on a clean, dry scalp for maximum absorption— Applying the serum to a clean, dry scalp ensures the active ingredients can penetrate the follicle without interference. Avoid applying immediately after showering while the scalp is still damp — wait until completely dry.
• Pair with a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo— Harsh shampoos containing sulfates (SLS/SLES) can strip the scalp of its natural oils and irritate the follicles, potentially counteracting the benefits of the serum. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo (such as the Kormesic Biotin Shampoo available in the same product line) to maintain a healthy scalp environment.
• Do not double the dosage— Using more than 1ml per application (e.g., 2ml twice daily) does not improve results and increases the risk of side effects such as scalp irritation, dizziness, or unwanted facial hair growth. Stick to the recommended dosage.
• Avoid applying to wet or damp hair— Apply the serum to a completely dry scalp. Applying to wet or damp hair dilutes the serum and reduces absorption, potentially reducing efficacy. Always towel-dry or blow-dry your hair completely before application.
• Be patient and persistent— Hair regrowth is a slow biological process. It takes time for follicles to reactivate and produce visible new growth. Do not expect overnight results. Commit to at least 3–4 months of consistent use before evaluating the efficacy of the treatment. Many users see the most significant results at 6–12 months.
• Use a scalp massager for enhanced absorption— After applying the serum, use a silicone scalp massager or a gentle handheld massager to stimulate the scalp for 1–2 minutes. This enhances blood circulation, promotes absorption, and helps distribute the serum evenly across the scalp.
• Take progress photos— Hair regrowth is often gradual and can be difficult to notice day-to-day. Take photos of your scalp in consistent lighting every 2–4 weeks to track your progress objectively. This will help you see the cumulative improvements over time.
• Don’t stop treatment abruptly— If you decide to stop using the serum, do not stop abruptly. Gradually reduce frequency (from twice daily to once daily to every other day) over 2–4 weeks to minimize the shock shedding that can occur when Minoxidil is discontinued.
• Store properly— Keep the serum in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Close the cap tightly after each use to prevent contamination and evaporation.
• Consult a doctor before use— If you have pre-existing heart conditions, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or are using other scalp treatments, consult a healthcare professional before starting Minoxidil treatment. Also consult a doctor if you experience persistent scalp irritation, dizziness, or other concerning side effects.

Important Precautions & Warnings:

• For external use only— Do not ingest. Keep away from eyes, mouth, and broken or irritated skin. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with cool water.
• Temporary shedding phase— Some users may experience increased hair shedding during the first 2–6 weeks of use. This is a normal phenomenon where older, weaker hairs are shed to make way for new, stronger growth. Do not stop treatment during this phase.
• Scalp irritation— Mild dryness, itching, flaking, or redness may occur, particularly in the first few weeks. If irritation persists or becomes severe, reduce frequency to once daily or discontinue use and consult a doctor.
• Unwanted facial/body hair growth— In rare cases, Minoxidil can be absorbed systemically and cause unwanted hair growth on the face (especially the cheeks, upper lip, and chin) or other body areas. This is more common with higher doses or when the serum drips onto the face during application. Apply carefully and wash hands thoroughly after each use.
• Dizziness or lightheadedness— If you experience dizziness, lightheadedness, rapid heartbeat, or swelling of the hands/feet, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor. These may be signs of systemic absorption.
• Not for use by individuals under 18— Minoxidil is not recommended for individuals under 18 years of age. The safety and efficacy in this age group have not been established.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding— Consult a doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
• Do not use on damaged or sunburned scalp— Avoid applying to scalp that is sunburned, irritated, infected, or otherwise compromised.
• Keep out of reach of children— Store the product in a secure location away from children and pets.
