I picked up the three-pack today and I got to say that the foam is 100 times better than the original greasy solution IMO. I never could tolerate the PPG in the original and it made my scalp itch so bad I would scratch it to the point of bleeding and this side effect never did lessen with time for me. That alone made me very non-compliant with it, not to mention it left my hair greasy for a few hours after application making daily styling of my hair virtually impossible and so I only applied it once at night and if the itching got really bad I would apply it less often than that.

The foam dries quick and is cosmetically acceptable because it dries so quickly and leaves no greasy residue. Also, no running of solution down my forehead and face like the solution. The foam does melt quickly so you have to apply it before it spreads out on your finger as a thin liquid. To solve this they suggest running your fingers under cold water. For me I just dispense a controlled amount that just covers the fingertip and apply it one section at a time, or I just dispense the foam directly on the area to be applied.

For me, the foam is worth paying $50 for the three-pack, whether it works better than the original or not, because I know the foam will allow me to maintain compliance with this treatment. Others must agree as well, as I had to drive to several retail drugstores before I finally found one three-pack left on the shelf at a Walgreens, while all the other stores were sold out of both the one-month and three-month packs.

My two cents.
