I'm rubbing an anti-acne cream (%0.1 Retin A) before I go to bed. I apply Rogaine at about 20:00. A local doctor advised me to do so. I started rubbing anti-acne cream at my 6th month of minoxidil treatment and I belive it sped up the regrowth. But of course I'm not sure. I also apply olive oil once a week (removes itching), and drink 2-3 cups of Green Tea each day. Thats all my treatment.
