Been taking topical minoxidil for 2 months and topical minoxidil orally for 3 months for my eyelashes and eyebrows (2-3 drops daily). Pretty good results, only downside really is the bloating; I'm looking at pics before I started taking minox and my face used to looked lean, and now I look chubby as hell despite me being the same bf% I was 5 months ago. Is castor oil a good alternative? Can you take castor oil orally? Otherwise I'll just lower the amount of drops I take per day
 
I use mine once daily at night (topical) on my eyebrows only and I have zero bloating. Its been 6 months and I'd say its been pretty successful for me.

If you're applying topically just for eyebrows and lashes actual facial bloating shouldn't really be possible, no? Because the effect is localized not systemic and the eyebrows/lashes are a pretty small area anyway so the total dosage should be too low for bloating even if you're applying it several times a day.

And also castor oil is most likely cope.
