community For those of you who are getting facial skin side effects (aging, dark circles) from minoxidil, try this, it helped me.
The conversation provides tips to reduce facial skin side effects from Minoxidil, such as changing pillowcases, sleeping on the back, careful application, hydration, and taking breaks. One reply suggests that alcohol in Minoxidil formulations, not Minoxidil itself, may cause skin aging.
