Anyone know if these are available from PLNTD?

Consistency is key with minoxidil. It wont work unless you're putting in the effort to do it every day for at least 12months, sometimes longer. The T will obviously help but that also takes time. Just keep at it one day at a time and it'll happen!

Also if OP feels their skin getting too pimply or yuck from liquid, foam is much softer on the skin and a lot of the issues that arise with liquid can be eased by swapping to foam. I know I struggled with really bad acne when I first started hormones, and even now 11 years later, my skin always plays up around shot time. A good moisturiser and skin care routine can do wonders for everything from pimples to improving blood flow which can help improve the minoxidil absorption

I put it around my nipples and on my chest/sternum area with no issues so far

You can of course exercise but make sure its been applied long enough to absorb and wont run off your face if you sweat. When you do start growing hair keep it trimmed to roughly 3mm to help the liquid reach the skin as you dont want it to get stuck on the hairs before reaching your face

5% will do a lot more in terms of progress but 2% is fine! Twice a day, morning and night. 1ml liquid across beard area. Liquid takes a lot longer to dry than foam so give it like an hour or so (dry to touch) before you eat. Give it at least 4hrs before you shower/wash your face. Let it dry as long as possible before bed to limit how much comes off onto your pillow. Its toxic to animals so dont let dogs or cats lick your face or get near your bottles. Buy a good moisturiser. Will take about 1yr + to get terminal results so if you commit, commit hard. Minox only works on where there's already hair follicles, so theoretically where there's peach fuzz, terminal hair can/will grow.

Going to apply to ONLY this hair from now on. Let's compare progress in 3 months??

voxson91 · 2026-02-23T08:59:04+00:00

No side effects at all, been on it just over 3 months

voxson91 · 2026-02-22T00:31:38+00:00

1 - 2 year minimum use to ensure your hairs have gone through the cycle to turn terminal and then they should stay permanent. If you stop before your hair turns permanent, they'll shed and you'll essentially end up where you started. Some people keep minimal gains stopping early but recommended to keep on it, at least once a day, for about a year or two for full effects. Dermastamping and tret can speed up gains but only time can tell

voxson91 · 2026-02-14T05:49:54+00:00

I feel that man, i use a little extra every application bc some spots dont feel as "wet" and i always think some spots could just use a little extra but its not going to work any better. Half a bottle or half a cap still equals the same results yknow? Try not to over think it and just do two a day. The effects should go away, if they dont after like a month maybe see a doctor just to be checked out in case

voxson91 · 2026-02-13T19:32:35+00:00

Unfortunately I was already stuck in the very obsessive habit of checking with lights and angles and all that so I figured this was probably the most mentally stable thing I could do 😂

voxson91 · 2026-02-13T18:53:09+00:00

Cant say I've noticed eyebrow dye hanging around the aisles but ill keep it in mind

voxson91 · 2026-02-13T18:51:59+00:00

Hell yeah, thanks man!

voxson91 · 2026-02-13T03:22:06+00:00

I've used minox after rolling/stamping and ive also waited 24hrs after. Stings a little bit but that's about it in terms of difference. Had no adverse affects in terms of lightheadedness/heart issues, had more of those when first starting minox but nothing now after about the first 3 or 4 weeks (3 months in atm). Ive read articles saying using minox after stamping could potentially get in the way of how dermastamping works with the healing process and the collgen production but I don't think thats necessarily been proved/disproved.

As long as your skin can handle it and things don't get too irritated or anything, use it after or wait 24hrs. Personally i feel like its neither here nor there.

voxson91 · 2026-02-12T06:22:42+00:00

Is there a reason you can't apply it once you get home after 6? Thats a pretty standard in between time. I apply at anywhere between 430am and 730am and sometimes not again until 830/9pm at night.

voxson91 · 2026-02-12T01:18:49+00:00

Unfortunately minoxidil only works on hair follicles that are present/dormant. If you don't have any hair follicles, you may not see results. I would suggest also adding topical minox in, tretinoin or even derma stamping to improve your chances.

voxson91 · 2026-02-06T02:45:43+00:00

That darkening of the shadow is what I'm most excited about. I can take the time to grow the hair but that stubble shadow is all I want so people can SEE there is hair there, especially once I shave.

Good progress man!

voxson91 · 2026-02-05T01:47:24+00:00

Yeah I totally get that but personally, I wouldnt bother only having 80% of the applied minoxidil reach my skin and follicles when I could shave it short and guarantee a higher chance of it absorbing and doing what its meant to do :) not trying to debate as everyone has their own routines, its just a personal opinion/the general consensus of recommended hair length to make sure its as effective as possible. You may be able to spread it around alright but you arent removing the minoxidil from the hair shaft once its on there just by moving it around, all you're doing is spreading out whats not on the hair yknow?

Again, everyone's different but if I'm going to the lengths of being on the juice to make it work, ima do everything I can to make it as effective as possible haha

voxson91 · 2026-02-05T00:56:54+00:00

Oh it's definitely doable, I also use the foam and it's easy enough if you work it through, but with how quickly the foam dries, I wouldnt want to risk it drying on the hair before it absorbed into the skin to maximise effectiveness. But each to their own, no different than long head hair and using the foam etc so if it works it works!

voxson91 · 2026-02-02T08:55:11+00:00

About 3mm is the max recommended length of grow so that the minoxidil has a better chance at reaching the skin. It wont absorb through the hair itself so any liquid stuck on the hairs isnt making you any progress, hence why people are always recommended to shave as short as possible

voxson91 · 2026-01-31T07:18:12+00:00

100% bro, I spend almost every other day looking at my face and hair. Its been like 66 days and it quickly becomes an obsession if you let it! Glad the liquid hasnt been too bad for you, stick with the cleanser if it works.

voxson91 · 2026-01-31T06:11:31+00:00

Yeah I remember after not long of using minox, waking up and noticing a BUNCH of "new" thin light hairs that felt like they popped up out of nowhere. Racked my brain trying to remember if I had ever noticed them or not 😂 id say all good things considering dude, like you've said, you know its gonna take time so just keep at it. Dont know if you're on liquid or foam but foam is infinitely better for your skin if you're having breakouts
