Minoxidil alternative?

[LongWayHome]

I guess someone has already asked this in the past, I just couldn't find it.

Anyway, the question is simple: Is there anything that has an effect somewhat similar to the one of minoxidil?
I've been using minox for 3 years with GREAT results, but my face also got results.
So I dropped it like a year ago, and now I'm desperately searching for a decent alternative.
I know nothing can compete minox, but at least close to that, without the possibility of
"face side effects".

Thank you.
