      community Is Retinol effective by itself?

      in Treatment  3 upvotes 3 days ago
      Retinol is not effective alone for hair loss; tretinoin is more potent and sometimes mixed with minoxidil. Retinoids do not stop hair loss, and finasteride or dutasteride is necessary for that.

      Tretinoin may enhance minoxidil's effectiveness for those not responding to minoxidil alone, but it could reduce efficacy for some who are already responding to minoxidil. Tretinoin requires careful use, including skin moisturizing and sun protection due to increased sensitivity.
