Can vouch minoxidil destroyed my collagen

Yeah

It sucks because it’s an amazing stimulant. I’m gonna have to switch to RU tbh tbh....

antiandrogens or 5ar inhibiting drugs suck ass though...

Fin honestly wasn’t too bad for me. I lucked out. I no longer use it though because my hairline was only maturing. May take it again in the future. However, Minoxidil absolutely destroyed my collagen. My skin still hasn’t recovered completely.

Same. My skin has improved with tret+vit c serum. But my skin will never be the same.

Yeah some people like Kevin Mann say there is no benefit to DHT.

But reading shit on Ray Peat’s forum makes me think otherwise.

I’m think microneedling+RU will be good for me. Currently researching using RU during puberty. Maybe RU plus proviron will be fine... idk tho

I personally have had a very good experience with it. My skin has only improved (mainly through fixing my health and not touching my face which worsened my acne).

I'm still using it, and now I've started applying it on my face to try and get a little stubble. Ive been doing it for a few months or so.
Although I don't have much hope on it doing anything significant, the majority of results on places like r/minoxbeards are laughable.


Just note that my results may not be the same for you.
