Toppik works great, but I have an issue with it. I notice everytime i use it, some of the stuff inevitably gets in my eyes and also in my sinuses and gives me breathing problems. Maybe because my hair is long it gets all over the place. I noticed one of the ingredients is Silica which is definitely not good to breathe. Maybe I'll try Dermatch. Also it can't be good to have that stuff blocking the pores on your scalp, can't that inhibit hair growth?

try some hairspray after toppik, it shouldnt be flying all over the place like that. From what i read it doesnt inhibit hair growth but i havent seen any research on that so its all speculations i guess

I've never heard a thing about Dermmatch blocking pores............I used it sporadically before my last HT and never had problems with it. IMO Dermmatch is superior to toppik because it will not come out in the rain or if you sweat..........it has to be wash out with shampoo.

Hi

I wouldnt worry about blocking your pores to much .. Ar eyou speaking regarding hair or acne??

Try dermatch, it's a bit cleaner to use

Use the Toppik sprayer from Spenser Forrest. This concentrates the Toppik into the zones you most want it, thus making the product last MUCH longer.

And if you're worried about Toppik clogging your pores, then wash your face with warm water and a gentle face soap after you've applied it.
