Well that's just awesome. Because I've been using Minoxidil + retin-a for a good many months now.

I'm switching to the foam asap.

 

[suicidedude]

all along i thought retin-a is a good add-on for increased absorption. there are people are using it. so what do you guys think?

 

[jakeb]

Well I've definitely lost while on it... but actually I got on it right when I quit finasteride due to sides. I thought I was stepping up the minoxidil part of my regimen. Argh.

Maybe this is a sign to use a weaker dose less frequently.
