Been using Kirkland Minoxidil 2x/day for 4 days.

I used to have dark circles when I didn't get enough sleep, but they are constantly there now and they are much bigger and are more red/brown in colour, they almost look bruised.

To me it's minor, but does anyone know if this gets better, or if it will help if I use less? I have been using quite a bit more than 1ml, probably around 1.4ml. I'm starting to get better at applying it though so I should have it down to 1ml soon.

Nothing else to report other than more itchy scalp. Pretty happy that I seem to be tolerating this one.

I had really dark cicles at one point but I'm not sure if it was due to minoxidil tbh. For starters, if you sleep with minoxidil in your hair, it could rub on your pillow and then on your skin

i never had any problems with that, might be that you worry about side effects, sleep less=dark circles
