Tazarotene may outperform tretinoin for hairline treatment with minoxidil, but lacks evidence. Tretinoin is recommended for the scalp, while tazarotene can be used on the face.
community Non-prescription topical supportive treatments (e.g. caffeine, alfatradiol, The Ordinary Serum, Zix, etc) in addition to the big 3/4???
Adding non-prescription topicals like alfatradiol and Zix to a standard fin/min/niz regimen may help with scalp inflammation and shedding, but their long-term effectiveness varies. Zix is recommended for reducing scalp inflammation and enhancing the effectiveness of other treatments.
