Stanford dermatologist Dr. James Kilgour's eponymous hair growth brand, KilgourMD, has been shown to outperform the popular minoxidil, which only works to regrow hair once it's gone. The KilgourMD Bundle, however, puts patients on the offensive, too, providing a dual-acting proactive and reactive solution to hair thinning and hair loss. In clinical studies, the system — which is made from natural, plant-derived extracts and comprises The Prevention Scalp Serum and The Treatment — decreased visible hair fall by up to 30% and stimulated hair follicle growth by up to 200% over two months. Save 15% when bundling.
