    TLDR Minoxidil and retinol together help hair grow.
    The study investigated the effects of minoxidil and retinol on human hair growth in vitro. The combination of minoxidil and retinol additively promoted hair growth in hair follicle organ cultures and increased the phosphorylation of Erk and Akt levels, as well as the Bcl-2/Bax ratio. The study suggests that the combination of minoxidil and retinol may be a promising treatment for hair loss.
