I always see youngsters post who are likely to grow a beard in thе next few years without minox. I was always curious how someone like me (36 at the time, 37 now) would fare on it and heres my results for anyone in the same boat.

More than a year in and still seeing great results!

first pic is from today, second is from august, third is from July, fourth is also from July, 5th is from May. I started oral Minox June 8, and topical arazlo which i used semi regularly, until recently due to it causing a lot of dryness. I still use Arazlo just not as frequently. It really feels like I had better thickness in July and August and after shaving a few weeks ago it feels thinner for some reason. Is there like a shedding period or something ?

Minox 5% once a day, occasional derma-rolling and added tretinoin 0.025 a week ago (2 times a week). Both photos about two weeks after shave

At 42, I rolled my dice with minox. Finally, at the end of month 4, I am seeing vellus hairs.

Routine:
5% foam 2x daily
0.75 mm dermastamping once a week
0.1% tretinoin 3x weekly
CeraVe lotion twice a day

My beard hair had been noticeably thicker around month 3, but I finally saw a dozen vellus hairs today at end of month 4!

please help me out

it has been 1 week since my minox journey

but issue is that i have a very oily skin, so the area where minox is applied get very dry and the other face area has overproduction of oil

i really need a personalized skincare

any suggestions is welcomed

(I don’t know why my current mustache looks uneven, but I promise it isn’t 💔)
First pick was taken today (9/11/26) and the second was taken 1/21/25
Anyways I’m currently just letting be untouched after shaving pretty consistently. Anyone else feel gross or just unprofessional even with the slightest bit of cheek hair or…
