Keranique Review
The drug is real and approved. The question nobody asks you first is which kind of hair loss you actually have.
Keranique
Buy It From The Store, Not The TrialCredit first: the active ingredient is real. Minoxidil 2% topical is a genuine FDA-approved over-the-counter drug for female pattern hair loss, the strength is stated in the product name rather than hidden in a proprietary blend, and you can buy it once for $29 to $87. After a long run of compounded and unstandardised products, that deserves saying plainly.
But it treats a different condition from the one you probably have. Minoxidil is indicated for androgenetic (pattern) hair loss. The sudden diffuse shedding on a GLP-1 is usually telogen effluvium — which starts 2 to 3 months after rapid weight loss and usually settles over 6 to 9 months on its own. Neither "telogen effluvium" nor "androgenetic" appears anywhere in their product descriptions.
The honest complication, so we are not being glib: rapid weight loss can also unmask genuine pattern hair loss in people predisposed to it, and reporting on GLP-1 users describes elevated rates of both. If that is what is happening, minoxidil is exactly the right answer and starting earlier is better. So the move is to identify which you have — diffuse and sudden, or patterned and creeping — before committing.
And the auto-ship cancels by phone: per the Profectus Beauty, LLC terms, "To change or cancel your Service at any time, call our customer service representatives by phone" — on a risk-free trial that converts to recurring charges. Letting a card lapse does not help either: the terms say they may continue charging if you fail to update payment details.
Affiliate disclosure — it decides our advice: We are paid $88.00 flat on a sale through getkeranique.com, the trial and auto-ship funnel, versus 23% on store.keranique.com — about $26 on a $115 system. The subscription route is worth roughly 3.4x more to us. We are telling you to use the other one. Verified 8 August 2026.

The Only Cancellation Route In The Terms
What We Verified
Products and prices from the store's own product data; billing terms quoted from the published Terms of Service; the clinical distinction from published reporting on GLP-1 users.
The Active Ingredient Is Real And Actually Approved
Keranique sells minoxidil 2% — a dropper solution at $29 to $87 and a foam listed as "FDA Approved Hair Regrowth Treatment Foam" at $38 to $114. Topical minoxidil 2% is a genuine FDA-approved over-the-counter drug for female pattern hair loss. In a category full of unproven serums, that distinction is worth stating plainly
But It Is Indicated For Pattern Hair Loss, Not Shedding
Minoxidil is approved for androgenetic alopecia — the gradual, patterned thinning at the part and frontal hairline. The sudden diffuse shedding most people notice on a GLP-1 is usually telogen effluvium, a different process. Neither "androgenetic" nor "telogen effluvium" appears anywhere in their product descriptions
Telogen Effluvium Usually Fixes Itself
It typically begins 2 to 3 months after the trigger — rapid weight loss, low intake, illness — and settles over roughly 6 to 9 months as things stabilise. It is diffuse shedding across the whole scalp rather than permanent follicle loss. That is the single most reassuring fact this audience is rarely told
Though Rapid Weight Loss Can Also Unmask Pattern Loss
This is why we are not simply saying do not buy it. Reporting on GLP-1 users describes elevated rates of both telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia, with rapid weight loss capable of unmasking pattern hair loss in people genetically predisposed. If that is what is happening, minoxidil is exactly the right and approved answer
Cancellation Of The Auto-Ship Is By Telephone
From the Terms of Service of Profectus Beauty, LLC, effective 1 March 2024: "To change or cancel your Service at any time, call our customer service representatives by phone at the number below in Contact Us." No online cancellation route is offered in that clause, on a product structured as a risk-free trial followed by recurring charges
And We Are Paid 3x More On That Funnel
The programme pays $88.00 flat for a sale on getkeranique.com — the trial and auto-ship funnel — versus 23% on store.keranique.com, which is about $26 on a $115 system. Our incentive points squarely at the recurring-billing route, so we are telling you to use the other one
Which Hair Loss Do You Have?
General information to take to a clinician, not a diagnosis. Both can happen at once.
| Telogen Effluvium | Androgenetic (Pattern) Loss | |
|---|---|---|
| Pattern | Diffuse, fairly even across the whole scalp | Widening part, crown and frontal thinning |
| Onset | Abrupt, about 2 to 3 months after a trigger | Gradual over months to years |
| Course | Usually settles over 6 to 9 months | Progressive without treatment |
| Is minoxidil indicated? | No — not its indication | Yes — this is what it is approved for |
| Worth doing either way | Monthly photo of part and hairline in the same light; ask your clinician about protein intake, ferritin and thyroid | |
One warning that applies specifically to starting minoxidil: it commonly causes an initial shed in the first weeks as follicles restart. If you are already shedding, the two stack, it feels like the product is making things worse, and that is when most people quit. Expect it, and judge results at four to six months rather than four weeks.
Two Ways To Buy The Same Product
Prices read 8 August 2026. The difference is what happens after the first box.
| Route | What You Get | We Earn |
|---|---|---|
| store.keranique.com | One-off purchase at a listed price, no subscription. Minoxidil dropper $29–$87, foam $38–$114 | 23% — about $26 on a $115 system |
| getkeranique.com | Risk-free trial converting to recurring charges, cancellable by phone per the terms | $88.00 flat — roughly 3.4x more |
| Which we recommend | The store. Buy the one product you want, once, and repeat it deliberately if it works | |
Also worth budgeting for: minoxidil only works while you use it, so stopping reverses any gain. This is an indefinite running cost, not a course. Our side-effects guide covers the protein and intake side, which is the part more likely to be driving the shedding in the first place.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- ✓Minoxidil 2% is a real FDA-approved over-the-counter treatment for female pattern hair loss, not an unproven botanical
- ✓The concentration is stated openly in the product name rather than hidden in a proprietary blend
- ✓Straight one-off purchases are available from the Shopify store without any subscription
- ✓A broad range at ordinary prices: minoxidil dropper from $29, foam from $38, masks $27 to $45, lash serum $36
- ✓Shampoo and conditioner sets are sold separately, so you are not forced into a bundled system
- ✓The Terms of Service do disclose the recurring billing structure in explicit capitalised language rather than burying it
- ✓A 30-day return expectation is published
- ✓A compliance department email address is published for terms queries
- ✓We found no consumer billing class action against the operator in the court searches we ran
Cons
- ✕Neither "androgenetic alopecia" nor "telogen effluvium" appears in the product descriptions, so buyers get no help identifying their own condition
- ✕Minoxidil is not indicated for the telogen effluvium that most GLP-1 shedding represents
- ✕Starting minoxidil commonly causes an initial shedding phase, which can be misread as the treatment making things worse
- ✕The auto-ship funnel is a risk-free trial followed by recurring charges, cancellable by phone per the terms
- ✕"Cancel anytime" on the funnel site sits alongside a terms clause offering only a telephone route
- ✕Letting a card lapse does not help: the terms say they may continue charging if you fail to update payment information
- ✕Return shipping during a trial cancellation falls on you if no label was included
- ✕Systems at $109.50 to $115 are a significant commitment for a condition that may resolve unaided
- ✕The commission structure pays us 3x more on the subscription funnel than on a one-off purchase
- ✕Minoxidil must be used continuously — stopping reverses any gain, so this is a long-term cost
Our Verdict
3.3 / 5 — a real approved drug, sold two ways, one of them much better for you.
This is a more favourable review than most in this series, and the reason is straightforward: the active ingredient is genuine. Topical minoxidil 2% is an FDA-approved over-the-counter treatment for female pattern hair loss, the strength is declared in the product name rather than concealed inside a proprietary blend, and it can be bought as a single item at an ordinary price — $29 to $87 for the dropper, $38 to $114 for the foam. After a long run of reviews about compounded copies, unstandardised botanicals and undisclosed doses, a company selling a properly approved active at a visible price has earned the credit. We also went looking for the consumer-protection history this category often carries and did not find it: no consumer billing class action against the operator, Profectus Beauty, LLC, turned up in the court searches we ran. The only suit we located naming the entity was a website accessibility claim under the Americans with Disabilities Act, which is an extremely common genre of litigation and tells you essentially nothing about the product or the billing. We report that rather than leaving an insinuation.
Two things hold the rating where it is, and the first is clinical rather than commercial. The hair loss that brings most readers of this site to a product like this is almost certainly telogen effluvium. Rapid weight loss is a classic trigger: it pushes an unusually large share of follicles into their resting phase, and they shed together roughly 2 to 3 months later, which is why it arrives suddenly and long after treatment began. It is diffuse across the whole scalp rather than patterned, it does not generally represent permanent loss of follicles, and it typically settles over something like 6 to 9 months as your physiology stabilises. Minoxidil is not indicated for that. Its approved indication is androgenetic alopecia — the patterned, progressive thinning at the part, crown and frontal hairline. And in Keranique's product descriptions, neither "telogen effluvium" nor "androgenetic" appears at all, which means a frightened customer arrives with no help at all in working out whether the thing they are about to buy addresses the thing that is happening to them.
We want to be careful not to overstate that into "do not buy it", because the biology is less tidy than the neat contrast suggests. Reporting on people using GLP-1 medicines describes elevated rates of both telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia, and rapid weight loss is capable of unmasking or accelerating pattern hair loss in someone genetically predisposed. Both processes can run at once, and a temporary shed can reveal an underlying permanent one for the first time. If pattern loss is part of your picture, minoxidil is precisely the correct treatment and starting sooner is better, because it protects follicles rather than reviving dead ones. So the useful conclusion is neither buy nor avoid. It is: establish which you have first — diffuse and abrupt after an identifiable trigger, or patterned and creeping over years — ideally with a clinician looking at your scalp, and ask whether protein intake, ferritin and thyroid function are worth checking, since all three are recognised contributors and all three are plausible on a much smaller appetite. Reporting also cautions that nutrient deficiencies are less universal here than commonly assumed, so that is a conversation rather than a shopping list. Take a dated monthly photograph of your part in consistent light; it will tell you more about trajectory than any product page, and it is free.
The second issue is structural. Keranique sells through two doors. One is an ordinary Shopify storefront where you buy a product once at a listed price with no subscription. The other is an offer funnel built as a risk-free trial that converts into recurring billing, and the terms are explicit about what that means: "Access to a Service may consist of an initial period, where you can try a product risk-free, followed by recurring periodic charges as agreed to by you", with the mechanism being "To change or cancel your Service at any time, call our customer service representatives by phone at the number below in Contact Us." No online cancellation appears in that clause. The terms add, in capitals, that periodic charges may be submitted "WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU AFFIRMATIVELY CANCEL", and that if you fail to keep payment details current "YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU" — so allowing a card to lapse is not an exit. Return shipping during a trial cancellation falls on you where no label was supplied. To their credit, all of that is disclosed openly rather than hidden, which is more than several merchants we have reviewed manage. But a phone-only cancellation on a recurring charge is reliably the arrangement that produces the most regret, and the funnel site's line about "the freedom to skip a shipment or cancel anytime" reads a great deal more easily than the clause sitting behind it.
Which brings us to the disclosure, because here it settles the recommendation rather than merely colouring it. This programme pays us a flat $88.00 for a sale through getkeranique.com — the trial and auto-ship funnel — and 23% for a sale through store.keranique.com, which is roughly $26 on a $115 system. The subscription route is worth about three and a half times more to us than selling you the identical product once. That asymmetry tells you exactly where the business value sits, and it is why most affiliate coverage of this brand will steer you toward the trial. Our advice is the reverse: work out which condition you have before spending anything; if minoxidil is right for you, buy the single product you want from the ordinary store at the price on the label; expect an initial shed in the first weeks and do not quit because of it; judge results at four to six months rather than four weeks; and budget for it indefinitely, because minoxidil only works while you use it. One last practical warning that has nothing to do with money and everything to do with a common household accident: minoxidil is seriously toxic to cats. Keep it well away from them, and if there is an exposure, call a vet immediately. Following all of this costs us about $62 a sale, which is the only reason worth trusting any of it.
Visit KeraniqueFrequently Asked Questions
Why am I losing hair on a GLP-1?
Most likely because of telogen effluvium, and the most useful thing to know is that it usually resolves on its own. Hair grows in cycles, and at any time most follicles are in an active growing phase while a minority are resting. A significant physiological stress — rapid weight loss, a sharp drop in calorie and protein intake, illness, surgery, a major life event — can push an unusually large proportion of follicles into the resting phase at once. They then shed together a couple of months later, which is why the shedding feels sudden and alarming and why it seems to come out of nowhere long after you started treatment. The characteristic timing is that it begins roughly 2 to 3 months after the trigger and settles over something like 6 to 9 months as your physiology stabilises. Crucially, it is diffuse — thinning and shedding fairly evenly across the whole scalp, with more hair in the brush and the shower drain — rather than a receding pattern, and it generally does not represent permanent loss of follicles. Rapid weight loss is a textbook trigger, which makes this one of the commonest complaints on these medicines and one of the least well explained to patients. That does not mean ignore it. It means the first move is understanding which process you are dealing with, because the answer determines whether a $115 system is the right purchase or an expensive way to wait out something that was going to improve anyway.
So is minoxidil the wrong product for me?
Possibly, but not necessarily, and this is where we want to be careful rather than glib. Minoxidil's approved indication is androgenetic alopecia — pattern hair loss. In women that typically shows as widening of the part and thinning through the crown and frontal area rather than a uniform shed; in men it is usually the temples and vertex. It is a gradual, patterned, progressive process, and topical minoxidil 2% is a genuine FDA-approved over-the-counter treatment for it. Telogen effluvium is a different process with a different mechanism, and minoxidil is not what it is indicated for. So far that argues against buying. But here is the complication that matters: reporting on people using GLP-1 medicines describes elevated rates of both conditions, and rapid weight loss is capable of unmasking or accelerating pattern hair loss in someone genetically predisposed to it. In other words, the weight loss can trigger a temporary shed and reveal an underlying permanent process at the same time, and the temporary shed can make the underlying one visible for the first time. If pattern loss is part of what is happening, minoxidil is precisely the right answer and starting sooner is better, because it protects follicles rather than resurrecting dead ones. The practical conclusion is not buy or do not buy. It is: work out which you have before committing, ideally with a clinician looking at your scalp, because the two need different responses and only one of them is worth a recurring charge.
How do I tell the two apart?
Pattern, timing and trajectory, and a clinician can usually tell quickly. Telogen effluvium is diffuse: the loss is spread fairly evenly across the whole scalp, you notice volume of shed hair rather than bald areas, it starts abruptly around 2 to 3 months after a trigger you can usually identify, and it tends to improve over 6 to 9 months. Androgenetic alopecia is patterned: for women, look for the part getting wider over months and years, thinning concentrated at the crown and toward the frontal hairline, and often a gradual reduction in ponytail thickness over a long period rather than a sudden event. If you can point to a specific trigger a couple of months before it started and the loss is everywhere at once, effluvium is the likely story. If it has been creeping for years and follows a shape, pattern loss is likely — and both can be true simultaneously. Two things worth doing that cost far less than a system. First, ask your clinician to consider bloods, because iron deficiency, thyroid dysfunction and inadequate protein intake are recognised contributors and all three are plausible on a much smaller appetite; ferritin is the usual iron marker to ask about. Reporting also cautions that nutrient deficiencies are less universal than is often assumed and workup should be individualised, so this is a conversation rather than a shopping list. Second, take a dated photograph of your part and hairline in the same light every month. That single habit tells you more about trajectory than any product page, and it is free.
What is the catch with the auto-ship?
It is a trial-into-recurring structure and, per the terms, you cancel it by telephone. The Terms of Service are published by Profectus Beauty, LLC with an effective date of 1 March 2024, and the Recurring Billing section reads: "Access to a Service may consist of an initial period, where you can try a product risk-free, followed by recurring periodic charges as agreed to by you. By accepting an offer and entering into this Agreement, you acknowledge that your risk-free trial has an initial shipping and processing fee and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation." Then the mechanism: "To change or cancel your Service at any time, call our customer service representatives by phone at the number below in Contact Us." There is no online cancellation route in that clause. It continues in capitals: "WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU AFFIRMATIVELY CANCEL YOUR SERVICE", and adds that if you fail to keep payment details current, "YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU" — so letting a card lapse is not an exit. The free-trial clause is equally clear that "You must cancel your account on or before the end of the trial period in order to avoid being charged", and elsewhere that if no return label was included you are responsible for return shipping if you cancel during the trial. Credit where it is due: all of that is disclosed explicitly, in capitals, rather than hidden. But a phone-only cancellation on a recurring charge is the structure that generates the most complaints in any category, and the funnel site's promise of "the freedom to skip a shipment or cancel anytime" reads more easily than the clause behind it.
Should I buy from the store or the trial offer?
The store, and we are telling you that against our own financial interest. Keranique sells through two routes. There is a conventional Shopify storefront at store.keranique.com where you buy a product once, at a listed price, with no subscription: minoxidil 2% dropper at $29 to $87, the foam at $38 to $114, a Hair Regrowth Treatment at $29 to $87, systems at $109.50 to $115, shampoo and conditioner sets at $48 to $144, masks at $27 to $45 and a lash serum at $36. And there is getkeranique.com, the offer funnel, which runs the risk-free trial into the recurring auto-ship described above. Now look at what we are paid. The programme pays a flat $88.00 for a sale on getkeranique.com and 23% for a sale on store.keranique.com. Twenty-three per cent of a $115 system is about $26. So the subscription funnel is worth roughly three and a half times more to us than a one-off purchase of the same product. That asymmetry is the clearest possible signal of where the business value sits, and it is why almost every affiliate review of this brand you encounter will point at the trial. Our recommendation is the opposite: buy the specific product you actually want, once, from the ordinary store, at a price you can see, with no phone call required later. If the product works for you, buy it again deliberately. That approach costs us about $62 per sale and it is plainly the better deal for you, which is the only reason worth trusting a recommendation.
If I do use minoxidil, what should I expect?
An initial shed, a long timeline, and a permanent commitment — none of which is obvious from a product page. The initial shed is the one that catches people. Minoxidil commonly causes increased shedding in the first weeks of use, as follicles are pushed out of the resting phase to begin new growth. That is an expected part of it starting to work, but if you are already shedding from telogen effluvium and you begin minoxidil, the two can stack and it will feel unambiguously like the product is making things worse. A great many people quit at precisely that point. Knowing it is coming is most of the answer. On timeline, do not evaluate results before about four months and preferably six; hair grows slowly and there is nothing to see earlier. On permanence, minoxidil works only while you use it — stop, and any gain is lost over the following months, so this is a long-term running cost rather than a course of treatment. Budget accordingly: at $29 to $87 per unit, indefinitely. Practical points: apply it to the scalp rather than the hair, on a dry scalp, wash your hands afterwards, and be aware that some people get scalp irritation or itching, and unwanted facial hair growth if it runs onto the face. And keep it well away from cats, for whom minoxidil is seriously toxic — that is a real and under-appreciated household hazard, and an accidental exposure warrants an immediate call to a vet.
What is more likely to help than a hair product?
Eating enough, and specifically enough protein, which is the hardest thing to do on these medicines and the most likely contributor to the problem. Hair is largely protein, and follicles are metabolically demanding tissue that the body deprioritises under stress. Rapid weight loss on a much smaller appetite is exactly the circumstance in which protein and micronutrient intake quietly falls short, and inadequate protein intake, iron deficiency and thyroid dysfunction are all recognised contributors to hair shedding. Reporting in this area does caution that deficiencies are less universal than commonly assumed and that workup should be individualised, so this is not a case for buying supplements speculatively — it is a case for asking your clinician what to measure. The unglamorous list, none of which we sell or earn from: get your protein intake assessed properly rather than estimated, ask whether ferritin and thyroid function are worth checking, and slow the rate of loss if it is very rapid, because the severity of effluvium tracks the magnitude of the physiological stress. Our reviews of a protein-format appliance and of hydration cover the practical side of getting intake up when nothing appeals. And be patient in a specific way: because effluvium typically settles over 6 to 9 months, hair you shed three months ago is already regrowing beneath what you can see, which is why a monthly photograph in consistent light is more informative than a daily look in the mirror.
What is your verdict?
3.3 out of 5 — a legitimate approved drug sold in two ways, one of which is much better for you than the other. This is a more positive review than most in this series and the reason is simple: the active ingredient is real. Minoxidil 2% topical is a genuine FDA-approved over-the-counter treatment for female pattern hair loss, the concentration is stated openly in the product name rather than buried in a proprietary blend, and it is available as a single one-off purchase at ordinary prices — $29 to $87 for the dropper, $38 to $114 for the foam. After a run of reviews about compounded products, unstandardised botanicals and undisclosed doses, a company selling a properly approved active at a visible price deserves credit for it. We also searched the courts and found no consumer billing class action against the operator, Profectus Beauty, LLC; the only suit we located naming it was a website accessibility claim under the Americans with Disabilities Act, which is a very large litigation genre and tells you little about the product or the billing. Two things hold the rating down. The first is educational and it is the one that matters clinically. The shedding that brings most GLP-1 patients to a hair product is usually telogen effluvium: it starts 2 to 3 months after rapid weight loss, is diffuse rather than patterned, and typically settles over 6 to 9 months without treatment. Minoxidil is not indicated for it. Nowhere in Keranique's product descriptions do the words "telogen effluvium" or "androgenetic" appear, so a frightened customer has nothing to help them work out whether they are buying the right thing. The honest complication is that rapid weight loss can also unmask genuine pattern hair loss, in which case minoxidil is exactly right — which is why the answer is to identify the condition first, ideally with a clinician and a monthly photograph, rather than to buy or not buy. The second is structural: the auto-ship is a risk-free trial into recurring charges, cancellable by telephone per the terms, with return shipping on you and no relief from letting a card lapse. All disclosed, all in capitals, and still the structure that generates the most regret. Our disclosure decides the recommendation: we are paid $88 flat on the trial funnel and 23% — about $26 — on a one-off store purchase. So buy the specific product once, from the ordinary store, and cost us the difference.
Work Out Which One First.
Diffuse and sudden after rapid weight loss usually settles in 6 to 9 months by itself. Patterned and creeping is what minoxidil is approved for. If you buy, buy once from the store — the trial funnel pays us 3.4x more.

Descriptions of telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia are general summaries intended to help you frame a conversation with a clinician; only a qualified clinician who can examine your scalp and history can determine what is causing hair loss, and several other conditions — including thyroid disease, iron deficiency, autoimmune alopecia and scarring alopecias — can present similarly. Sudden or patchy hair loss, hair loss with scalp pain, scaling, redness or scarring, or hair loss accompanied by other symptoms should be assessed promptly, as some causes are treatable only before follicles are lost. Minoxidil is an over-the-counter drug with its own precautions: it may cause scalp irritation or itching, unwanted facial hair growth if it migrates, and it commonly causes a temporary increase in shedding when first started; it is not suitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding, and people with cardiovascular disease should seek advice before use. Follow the labelling. Minoxidil is highly toxic to cats and should be kept away from pets; suspected exposure requires immediate veterinary attention. Do not start, stop or change any prescribed medication, including a GLP-1, because of hair loss without speaking to your prescriber. Statements about protein intake, ferritin and thyroid testing are general and should be individualised by a clinician or dietitian; do not begin iron or other supplementation without knowing your levels, as excess iron is harmful.

Clinical background: statements that telogen effluvium typically begins around 2 to 3 months after a trigger and settles over approximately 6 to 9 months, that it presents as diffuse shedding rather than patterned loss, that androgenetic alopecia in women mainly affects the part, crown and frontal hairline, that reporting on GLP-1 receptor agonist users describes elevated rates of both telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia with rapid weight loss capable of unmasking pattern hair loss, that minoxidil is approved for pattern hair loss and may be used alongside GLP-1 therapy where appropriate, that iron deficiency, low protein intake and thyroid dysfunction are recognised contributors while nutrient deficiencies are less universal than often assumed and workup should be individualised, and that minoxidil commonly causes an initial shedding phase, are general summaries of published clinical reporting. They are not claims made by the retailer and are not a diagnosis. Limitations: we did not purchase any product, did not enter either checkout, did not enrol in the auto-ship and did not test the telephone cancellation process, so we cannot describe how quickly or easily a cancellation is handled in practice.

Affiliate Disclosure: This site may receive compensation from affiliate partners. This programme pays $88.00 flat on a sale through the getkeranique.com trial and auto-ship funnel, against 23% on a one-off purchase through store.keranique.com — roughly $26 on a $115 system, or about 3.4 times less. Our recommendation is the lower-paying one: identify your condition first, and if you buy, buy a single product from the ordinary store rather than entering the trial.
