Well in my case, if i put 0.2 ml of 5% liquid minoxidil on my eyebrows, for some reason after 30 minutes the eyebrows inflated, turned white and the skin shed and fell off. I couldn't go out in public cuz it looked that goofy and weird, like an allergic reaction. I also had a burning sensation. I know, my skin is very sensible but so could be your skin if you also experience these side effects.

My liquid minoxidil consists of:
- Minoxidil 50 mg/ml
- Propylene glycol
- Ethanol 96%
- Water

What's the reason behind all of this:
The main cause of the irritation and white skin is the so called Propylene glycol

The easy fix:
Just buy a foam minoxidil. Why? Because that one doesn't contain the harsh alcohols like Propylene glycol and doesnt irritate your skin.

My experience:
I tried the foam of 5% minoxidil today for the first time a few hours ago and it went very good. No irritation at all, no white skin shedding of. In long term, keeping applying the liquid minoxidil and the skin keeping to shed of and renew itself could cause severe skin problems that would nerf your looks even more.

Hope this helps for the 1% that experiences the same :feelskek:
