Hi all,
I’ve read a lot of threads about different topical regimens and I want to ask about results, especially regrowth, not just maintenance. I’m in early thinning (mostly crown transparency) and want to use what has worked best for other people long-term.
A few specific questions:
I’ve seen some users reporting good results with compounds like 10% minoxidil + 0.1% finasteride with noticeable improvement after ~3–7 months, and others with 5% min + 0.1% finasteride + tretinoin saying they had good gains.
I’m most interested in growth (not just stopping loss) and real world experience — what worked best for you and why.
Thanks in advance!

A few specific questions:
- Has anyone had noticeable regrowth with a topical combo (e.g., finasteride + minoxidil) — and what exact %/ratio did you use?
- Did adding tretinoin help improve results versus just min/finasteride alone?
- What strengths are people finding most effective (e.g., 5% vs 7–10% minoxidil, 0.1% vs 0.25% finasteride, tretinoin %)?
- How long did it take before you actually started seeing regrowth photos you were happy with?
