im not sure...but i wasnt prepared to wait around to find out.

i think it means you may be applying too much hence the systemic absorbtion.

Well, I do only pour it on my temple area and my hair is pretty short. idk hopefully it's not a big deal.

Curious what sides you experienced with minox?

Clan-

I purchased Kirkland's 5% minox foam in early June and used it for 2 weeks before I had to stop due to sides. Very weird headaches, but most importantly my face aged very quickly; dark circles under eyes, large pores, and a general haggard look to the face. I'm confident that my hair can be restored in the next decade, but undoing an aged face would be a different story. Thankfully everything returned to normal after a few weeks off.

Do you have pictures to prove this, is this an actual side effect with minox?

Be good to see long term results with this if it works

ya, black circles under eyes and water retention in the face are commonly cited side affects.

What the hell..does it really age the skin? my god if hairloss is not enough to worry about, now we have to worry about rogaine aging our skin? Im def stopping the rogaine now.

That's just what happened to me and others. Not everyone reacts the same way. If you don't notice any changes I'd stay on it. You'll tell if there are side effects.

But yeah, that was my reaction too. I was really excited about minox and absolutely crushed when I saw a photo of my face this past fathers day. Bloated and tired. Keeping my hair is supremely important to me, but not at the expense of my face.

Ive been on it for two years and i think i have noticed my skin with a decrease in collagen and def dark circles. Is the side effects permanent ?

I think it can be, but i dont know. I get my info from other people on forums mostly, so who knows.

Will this product work on females

Females and males

[Dirty Hairy]

Will you be able to use this along with Minoxidil? (or even with the big 3?)

I have been using rogaine foam for 3 years and after about two years collagen production was affected and i started to get deep vertical lines on the face from sleeping. I read a post by another guy who was on minox for about 6 years and he had the same kind of sides, when he stopped, the skin slowly returned back to normal. I am thinking about quitting the minox if loreal at minimum have the same effect, and then stay on that until allergans latisse, or equol comes along. I know that these treatments won't be silver bullets but hopefully it can buy some time until some slightly better treatment will come.

Yeah, i decided to quit minox too. I really feel this stuff is aging my skin and its just not worth the risk. Hairloss + premature aging is not a good look. L'oreal is my only hope for now until histogen.

My thinning is getting worse, not even dermmatch can conceal it anymore.

I hope L'Oreal's product can reverse my thinning, but that would be a miracle.

[baldybald]

i do not expect alot from loreal to be honest
