The conversation is about someone who had success using retinol with minoxidil for hair growth, but experienced shedding with Retin A (tretinoin). They are asking if others have tried retinol with minoxidil and what their results were.
Use retin-a cream and maintain a good skincare routine to counteract skin issues caused by topical minoxidil. Taking sublingual minoxidil can also be beneficial.
Retinoids, like Retin-A and retinol, can be beneficial when used with minoxidil for hair loss. Retin-A is the strongest and requires a prescription, while retinol is over-the-counter.
