How much serum should I use, and how can two droppers cover my whole scalp?Updated a month ago
Each KilgourMD serum is designed to be highly concentrated and efficiently absorbed, so you don’t need to fully saturate your scalp with every use. Two droppers, about 1 mL in total, are typically enough for one daily application. The serums are formulated with potent ingredients that continue working after application. In fact, lab testing of our serums has shown that they continue to be absorbed into the scalp for more than six hours after application! Once applied, the actives disperse naturally across the scalp through gentle massaging, the movement of hair, and local absorption in the skin.
The goal is consistency rather than volume. Regular daily use supports follicle activity, maintains scalp balance, and helps create an environment that’s optimized for growth. Applying too much product won’t accelerate results and can actually reduce absorption efficiency. If you have specific areas of concern, such as the temples or crown, you can apply a little extra there, but it’s not necessary to coat the entire scalp heavily.
For best results, apply a small amount directly to the scalp, gently massage for 15–30 seconds, and allow the serum to absorb fully. Whether you use one serum or both, maintaining a steady routine is the most important factor for long-term success.
