Dealing With Black Circles Caused My Minoxidil

[Sam227]

Minoxidil has given me black circles after 4 months of usage. How can the black circles be avoided?
Thankyou for the help

You have to get rid of Minoxidil altogether.It is one of the side effects of Minoxidil along with bloated face which i am suffering from

Pics?

 

[Grasshüpfer]

Yup, pics please. Before and after. With black bars if you want. 90% of those sides are paranoia actually.

I had black circles, too.

What helps is an harder/ bigger pillow, colder bedroom, better hydration, more sleep and generally sport, workouts ect and of course some sun.

I also wear hipster glasses.

Building a time-machine and make your parents conceive you at a different time so your genetic make-up is different.

I have dark circles too, they're genetic.

Or just get some sleep to attenuate their appearance.

Minoxidil doesn't cause dark circles. Wait, I'm looking for it in the list of side-effect.

I think it is... no, oh wait... No it's actually not there because it's a BS side-effect made-up by internet fearmongers.

@David_MPN , it's no use, at best, he's going to post a warm orangey before picture taken after a good night sleep and proper hydration and an after picture that will look like it's in black and white and taken after being sleep and water-deprived for 2 days.

"Look what minoxidil did to me."

Please.

Sorry about this. I read some threads about this and I believed that it's caused by minoxidil. It could just be the hydration thing.

Which hand do you apply the minoxidil with? The wrinkles in one hand should be deeper than the other.

Here's the cold water solution, that @David_MPN requested:

My eyes have bags. Not from Minoxidil, but from age.

Please.

Don't think he was referring to that. He was just asking. He said he didn't believe it was a side, I think.

More fluids, more sleep, and wash your face after applying is all I can recommend aside from quitting altogether.

trying going to bed earlier, tends to get rid of black circles.

minoxidil causes dark circles its just a known thing by now. Dont rub it into wet skin and dont put it on right before u stuff your face in a pillow. When I used minoxidil it gave me dark circles and it made my forehead wrinkles a little more pronounced. I use my wrinkles to check my hair progression and looking a picture from five years ago my wrinkles now are less pronounced. Once i stopped applying it after a shower the circles went away then i just stopped minoxidil all together because I started to grow my hair longer. I actullay might start again.

Why is it bad to apply minoxidil after a shower?

Cut back on your dose, keep it off your face, take collagen supplements, sms apply hyaluronic acid.

 

[pegasus2]

You can hey it from Amazon for 10-15 dollars a bottle. You don't need to use it forever, and if you're only 19 you should be fine. At your age if it hasn't gone away in 5 months you're probably not getting enough sleep. Get 8+ hours of sleep and use the stuff I mentioned. I bet you'll motive a big improvement within 6 months. I'm older than you, and it didn't take me that long.

A dangerous, naive attitude to have using any drug in any form.
