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.

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

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.
