8 months ago Finasteride initially improved acne but the effects declined over time. For acne treatment, consider topical retinoids or benzoyl peroxide.
community Correlation between topical retinoids and diffuse hair loss
Excess Vitamin A and topical retinoids can cause diffuse hair shedding. The user suspects their chronic telogen effluvium may be linked to using adapalene, a topical retinoid.
community Anyone tried Tretinoin? I’ve heard great things
People discuss using Tretinoin for both skin anti-aging and improving hair loss treatments. They mention combining Tretinoin with Minoxidil to enhance its effectiveness for hair growth.
community Tretinoin can make it worse!!!
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.
