The conversation discusses the effectiveness of adding topical caffeineserum to a hair loss treatment routine that includes minoxidil and finasteride. Users suggest alternatives like stemoxidine, alphatradiol, and pyrilutamide, noting that evidence for caffeine's effectiveness is weak.
The user plans to lower their oral minoxidil dose from 5 mg to 2.5 mg to reduce side effects like puffiness and hypertrichosis, while also using finasteride and accutane. They are considering caffeineserums for puffiness and discussing dietary changes or switching to topical minoxidil to address bloating.
The user is experiencing significant hair regrowth with 5 mg oral minoxidil and 1 mg finasteride but also side effects like eye puffiness and hypertrichosis. They are considering reducing the minoxidil dose to 2.5 mg to lessen side effects and are curious about caffeineserums for eye puffiness.
Caffeine ointment was mentioned as being as effective as Minoxidil for hair loss treatment without the side effects. Caffeine is also found in some shampoos.
