It's been long known that Minoxidil has so far been shown to be the O-N-L-Y drug in existence which can replenish ELASTIN.

Chronic Treatment with Minoxidil Induces Elastic Fiber Neosynthesis and Functional Improvement in the Aorta of Aged Mice - PubMed

Normal arterial aging processes involve vascular cell dysfunction associated with wall stiffening, the latter being due to progressive elastin and elastic fiber degradation, and elastin and collagen cross-linking by advanced glycation end products (AGEs). These processes progressively lead to...

Stimulation of elastin expression by minoxidil in chick skin fibroblasts - PubMed

Minoxidil inhibited the proliferation of embryonic skin fibroblasts during the growth phase but not during the stationary phase. Minoxidil stimulated elastin synthesis two-fold in a dose-dependent manner at a concentration of 1 mM during the stationary phase. The stimulation of elastin synthesis...

Chances are that topical minoxidil may not only promote hair growth - but if properly formulated - be a revolutionary anti-aging treatment.

That’s the alcohol that’s in some minoxidil solutions

minoxidil destroys collagen production

The evidence for that is very limited certainly not enough to establish a direct connection between minoxidil and wrinkles.

have you ever used topical minoxidil before?
in my experience I would have phases where my eyebrows would shed off skin

Yes I have used both topical and oral. Despite there being little evidence it contributes to downgrading collagen, anecdotally I experienced none.

All that can be said at most is it darkens your under eyes more, even this would be anecdotal at best. Anyone who says this and doesn’t use it is coping.
