Retin-A for Hair Loss Treatment?

Using Retin-A as a standlone treamtment for hair loss and in conjunction with Rogaine? Any inputs? Thanks.

Never heard of Retin A (alone) being a treatment for hair loss. Some companies mix it (I think) with Minoxidil but if it were any good we would've heard about it by now. Stick to Minoxidil and/or Fin if you want. Everything is A WASTE OF MONEY.

i have

when i first started minoxidil i was told to use of retina with minoxidil at the hairline and temple points to enhance the penetration and absorption of minoxidil. Retin-A decreases the protective barrier of the skin.

can't say if it worked because i didn't stay on minoxidil for a long time

still on retin-a though

Yeah I've been using tretinoin alone for a while now on my face and at my hairline, hasn't done anything for me. (Except make my skin awesome ofc..)

I just bought retain-A but I heard it causes hair loss??
