Minoxidil plus Tretinoin - notice the difference??


Recommended Posts

So I'm in my 3rd month of using minoxidil plus tretinoin (which is a form of retinol).

Its supposed to grow more hair than MX alone.

In the last 2.5 months I've grown a few hundred hairs, mostly around the crown.

My question is can you guys tell, or is there not much difference??

Very difficult to tell, because Different lighting conditions. But for any medications you need to give at least 8-10 months to see how it responds

I think two and a half months is too early. Give it six months and compare your baseline pic to a six month pic. Better yet you could consider oral minoxidil. It goes systemic by passing through the liver and is a lot less messy and easier to comply with. All the best.

I will post updates every 3 months.  I still have another 9 months of growing left to do.

The new MX hairs seem to come through thicker and stronger.

So far I'm very pleased with the results

I tried oral MX but side-effects were too much.  I had to abandon the project
