You could get a higher % minoxidil. Topically the halflife of min is 23 hours I think. So even at twice a day is loading the system. I use it once a day and my skin looks like sh*t. It's likely not goING to be a sprint it's a long distance run that will get you what you want. So pace your self. Are you derma rolling ? For obsorbtion get .5mm or lower.
