community For those of you who are getting facial skin side effects (aging, dark circles) from minoxidil, try this, it helped me.

in Minoxidil 11 upvotes 3 years ago

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.

community Minoxidil actually reduces wrinkles

in Research/Science 208 upvotes 4 days ago

Minoxidil may improve or worsen skin quality, with topical forms causing dryness and wrinkles, possibly due to alcohol content, while oral forms have fewer side effects. Some users consider using tretinoin to mitigate negative effects.

community what are the best multivitamins for hairloss?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 53 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses which vitamins to take alongside 0.5mg finasteride for hair loss, with suggestions including a multivitamin, iron, zinc, B12, vitamin D, Nutrafol, collagen, vitamin C, saw palmetto, and magnesium. Nutrafol is noted for its benefits but also criticized for containing too much biotin.

community I am actually regrowing my hairline without minoxidil or finasteride (mechanical stimulation)

128 upvotes 6 years ago

Regrowing hairline without the use of Minoxidil or Finasteride, and instead using mechanical stimulation such as Derma Roller, Nizoral, Zinc Pyrithione, Scalp Massage, Scalp Exercise, Fish Oil and other topical solutions. It is cautioned that there are risks associated with not using medically-prescribed treatments, but it is suggested to consider mechanical stimulation in addition to those prescribed treatments.
