Can minoxidil really age the skin???

[john2399]

Im really worried about this and really believe it could be true that this stuff is aging our skin. I know this board has talked about it before but is their any evidence that it could be true?

It's possible. It might have happened to me. I'm not sure. But it won't age your skin like give you wrinkles, it's another kind of aging.

I feel like it aged the skin around my eyes and just lost so much collagen due to it. Maybe a nice lawsuit against rogaine in which they did not list this as a side effect.

No, not in the face or around my eyes. I mean in the area exactly where I put it on my head.

If you think you have a case, then go for it.

Benzoyl peroxide is supposed to age the skin. I've been using it for almost a decade for acne since it's the only thing that sort of works on my face. My skin still looks young. I'm really not that worried.
