5% minoxidil...DARK Rings under eyes!?!

[Sir_LagaLot]

i'm on my 4th bottle of 5% generic minoxidil.. theres absolutely no denying it but its given me these really dark rings under my eyes.. i didnt pay attention to it, but all of a sudden everybody i meet is pointing them out...i know its the minoxidil because alot of other people have the same problem..

i apply it twice a day..

anybody know how to get rid of this? the rings make me look incredibly unhealthy..and no, i dont do drugs, and i've been getting at least 8 hours of sleep everyday. Its the minoxidil..

No, I had the same thing. You're absorbing too much systemically. Be sure your head is COMPLETELY dry before applying. Also, be sure that you are only applying 1ml... that's not much. You may personally need to apply less.

Or is it because of high alcohol content in your minoxidil. Try switching to foam
