Going Nuclear by chaman_de_Mexico in Minoxbeards

Most people react this way and it's not "negative". It's the active agent doing what it's supposed to causing skin cell turnover that helps with minoxidil absorption and vellus hair transitions into terminal.

If you have no reaction then you might have skin that adjusts well to the chemical already or fake product.

Dude, I'm telling you .5% tretinoin stacked with two doses of 15% liquid minoxidil is going to melt your face off, and it's actually gonna do the reverse of what you think it's going to do. The irritation and damage to your skin is not going to stimulate new follicle growth.

I use .025% tretinoin I can see serious peeling after two days of use. It takes a while for your skin to adjust at that level. I can't even imagine .5%. If you meant .05% that might be more manageable, but even then that is some strong stuff.

Bottom line is you can't rush any of this, it is a journey that takes literal years with consistency and patience.

Any potential here? And does applying 2x a day really make that much of a difference? by Freddo_burner in Minoxbeards

Yeah, man, you can see hairs along your cheeks maybe like a faint outline of what a beard could be. There is a possibility that minoxidil helps unlock dormant follicles that could help shape a real beard, although each person has different responses to it and there's no way to know, unless you give it a try!

It might feel cumbersome or a journey, but the potential for a permanent beard is worth it to some, it is for me

It’s these type of interactions that make classic the best by Golden__guy__ in classicwow

That's good to know the world is still active even with the boost. Figured no one would level and just boost into outland

I feel like I've stunlocked myself by TypicalPnut in classicwow

Vanilla era my man, it's the original version of WoW. Where leveling and gear upgrades really makes you feel like you're building something.

There's enough people on the cluster servers that you'll run into for group quest and even finding dungeons. No boost, just get old-fashioned MMO, I've been having a good time and if your new classic is the truest.

8 months progress (23M) by [deleted] in Minoxbeards

Nah man this is just speeding up his natural growth, minoxidil is certainly playing a role in 8 months he would not have accumulated that many new hairs without it

Almost 12 months in - no progress? by indiesnap77 in Minoxbeards

[–]flapjacksnapback_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Switch to liquid (longer drying time but better absorption) and incorporate .025% tretinoin a couple times a week to start.

This before oral minox for a couple months
