      Minoxidil is more effective when combined with retinoic acid, such as tretinoin or tazarotene, enhancing hair growth. Some users experience significant regrowth, while others see minimal effects or side effects.

      community Is Retinol effective by itself?

      in Treatment  3 upvotes 3 days ago
      Retinol is not effective alone for hair loss; tretinoin is more potent and sometimes mixed with minoxidil. Retinoids do not stop hair loss, and finasteride or dutasteride is necessary for that.
