community Can I use adapalene instead of tretinoin for minoxidil absorption?

5 upvotes 8 months ago

Adapalene can be used instead of tretinoin for minoxidil absorption, but it is not as strong. Tretinoin is a more potent retinoid.

community Adapalene gel 1% cause of hair loss?

5 upvotes 3 years ago

A user experienced hair thinning after using Adapalene gel 1% for skin care, suspecting it contributed to hair loss alongside depression and anxiety. They stopped using Adapalene and switched to a Minoxidil/Finasteride formula, noticing hair improvement, while others in the conversation doubted Adapalene's impact on hair loss.

community Any information on if adapalene also increases sulfotransferase the same way tretinoin does?

in Minoxidil 2 upvotes 9 months ago

The conversation discusses whether adapalene (Differin) increases sulfotransferase like tretinoin does, in the context of combining it with minoxidil for hair treatment. The responses indicate that adapalene does not have the same effect as tretinoin.

community the ordinary retinol & minoxidil

in Minoxidil 13 upvotes 1 year ago

Using retinol with minoxidil may not be as effective as tretinoin, but retinaldehyde or adapalene could be alternatives. A micro-roller with minoxidil is suggested for better results.
