Does Costco Canada Sell Minoxidil? (2026)
Yes, Costco Canada sells minoxidil, but not the one that made Costco famous for it. Costco Canada carries Rogaine, the brand-name 5% minoxidil, in its warehouses and on costco.ca. What it does not sell is the low-cost Kirkland Signature minoxidil that US Costco is known for — that has never been stocked in Canada. The good news: the same 5% minoxidil is available here under another brand, without a membership, shipped from within Canada.

Does Costco Canada sell minoxidil?
Yes — but only the premium option. Costco Canada stocks Rogaine 5% minoxidil (men's and women's foam) in its warehouses and online. What's missing is the cheap warehouse-brand version: the Kirkland Signature 5% minoxidil that US Costco is known for has never been carried in Canadian Costco warehouses.
The Costco Canada option comes with three catches: it's the brand-name product, it's members-only, and it's frequently out of stock. Men's Rogaine foam runs about $169.99 for a 6-pack of 60g cans — roughly $28 per can — and you need a paid Costco membership to buy it at all.
That's the gap Canadians keep running into. The low-cost warehouse brand that Americans grab isn't sold here, so you're left paying brand-name Rogaine prices — or importing Kirkland from the US and absorbing the exchange rate plus a courier brokerage fee of around $40 at the door.
The option most people miss: same minoxidil, no membership
There's a third choice that isn't on Costco's shelf at all — the same 5% minoxidil, made by the same manufacturer as Kirkland, sold in Canada without a membership.
| Costco Canada (Rogaine) | Northwest Deals (Member's Mark) | |
|---|---|---|
| Active ingredient | 5% minoxidil | 5% minoxidil |
| Foam price per 60g can | ~$28 | $23.99 (from ~$21.60 on subscription) |
| Membership required? | Yes | No |
| Shipping | Pick up in warehouse | Free, shipped across Canada |
| Availability | Often out of stock | In stock, ships from B.C. |
Member's Mark is the private-label brand for Sam's Club, and the public FDA drug labels show it's made by the same manufacturer as Kirkland (Perrigo) — same active ingredient, and for the foam, the same ANDA number. We break the label evidence down in full here: Kirkland vs Member's Mark: the same-manufacturer proof.
Northwest Deals stocks Member's Mark 5% minoxidil at our British Columbia warehouse:
- Member's Mark 5% Minoxidil Foam — 60g cans, the Rogaine/Kirkland foam equivalent
- Member's Mark 5% Minoxidil Topical Solution — the liquid equivalent
Same 5% minoxidil as the Rogaine on Costco's shelf, cheaper per can, no membership, and shipped free with no customs or brokerage fees.
Why doesn't Costco Canada carry Kirkland minoxidil?
It comes down to how house brands work. Kirkland Signature is Costco's own private label, and each Costco market decides which Kirkland products to stock. The 5% minoxidil is a US assortment item — it's never been rolled out to Canadian warehouses, so Canadian shoppers only get the brand-name Rogaine option, not the cheaper Kirkland one.
Can I order Kirkland minoxidil from Costco US to Canada?
You can try, but it usually costs more than it looks. Costco.com generally doesn't ship this product across the border directly, so most Canadians end up buying through a US marketplace reseller — and that's where the "cheap" price disappears:
- Currency conversion. US pricing plus your bank's exchange rate and any FX fee, against a weaker Canadian dollar.
- Courier brokerage fees. Couriers like UPS and FedEx charge a fee to clear the package across the border — often around $40 CAD, collected at your door. It's not a government duty; it's a service charge, and it catches people off guard.
- Shipping time and returns. Cross-border transit is slower, and if anything's wrong, sending it back to the US is rarely worth it.
Add it up and the imported Kirkland box often lands at close to — or above — the Costco Canada Rogaine price you were trying to beat.
Frequently asked questions
Does Costco Canada sell minoxidil?
Yes — Costco Canada sells brand-name Rogaine (5% minoxidil) in warehouses and online, but it's members-only and often out of stock. It does not carry the low-cost Kirkland Signature minoxidil that US Costco is known for.
Does Costco Canada sell Kirkland minoxidil?
No. Kirkland Signature 5% minoxidil is a US Costco product and has never been stocked in Canadian Costco warehouses. Costco Canada carries Rogaine instead, at brand-name pricing.
How much is minoxidil at Costco Canada?
Men's Rogaine foam is around $169.99 for a 6-pack of 60g cans (about $28 per can), and it requires a Costco membership. Member's Mark 5% minoxidil — the same formula from the same manufacturer as Kirkland — is cheaper per can, needs no membership, and ships free across Canada.
Can I buy Kirkland minoxidil from Costco US and ship it to Canada?
Costco.com generally doesn't ship it across the border directly, and buying through a US reseller adds currency conversion plus courier brokerage fees (often around $40 CAD at the door) — which usually erases the savings.
