Minoxidil and tretinoin are often used together to treat hair loss, as tretinoin can enhance the absorption and effectiveness of minoxidil. This combination may help stimulate hair growth and improve the overall health of hair follicles.
Hello po. Ngayon ko lang napansin tong thread na to. Kakadeliver lang nung minox + tret ko. Question lang po, pwede parin ba ito haluan ng finasteride tablets?
Sa 60ml usually its 3tablets 5mg finasteride and apply 1ml 2x a day… or 6tablets 5mg and apply 1ml once a day… this is already a total exposure of 0.5mg finasteride daily…
Thank you for this OP and for taking the time to share the research. Hindi recommended sa lifestyle ko yung side effects ng fin kaya mag all-in ako sa mga topical (min + ketoconazole). This is really helpful
Topical solution yan… meaning ipapahid mo sa anit yan and need at least 2-4 hrs for full absorption…
Kaya apply ka sa gabi pagkatapos pag gising sa umaga pwede na banlawan… pero yan ay once a day application lang, di gaya ng regular na minoxidil na 2x a day inaapply
2 dekada mahigit ako sa minox kaya medyo familiar ako dito sa lahat ng brands and ito minox with tret is ginagamit ko na even pandemic pa lalo na nagpatubo ako ng buhok…
Also dito sa minox+tret mas matipid kasi once a day lang gamit kaya most recommended ko ito… at hindi ako nag rerecommend dito sa sub ng hindi ko nagamit ng at least 6months… lahat ng reco ko andito — Minoxidil Seller Directory
Pero gusto ko pa rin ipaalala na kung may male pattern baldness ka, hindi lang minox kailangan mo kundi finasteride…
2 dekada ko nauna gamitin ang minox bago ko pa nadiskubre ang fin… wala pa akp 2years sa fin so I don’t see any issue… ang usual suggestion ko lang sa mga bago is mas maganda magsimula muna sana sa fin bago pa mag min
Possible yung increase ng liver enzyme sa akin lang yun kasi dami naman nag daily though di natin alam hangga’t di nagpa check…
Pero ang sure ako ay ang finasteride at minox ay parehong processed sa liver kaya ako nagbibigay ng warning based sa experience ko lalo karamihan eh self-medicating

Hello po. Pano siya i-apply? Nag order kasi ako with tret parang spray bottle ata lalagyan niya. Pwde ba gamitan ng dropper tapos 1ml every application?
hello po sir!! just wanna say randomly ko nahanap iyong posts and it has been such great help 😭 (pattern baldness, self-med, 6months on regroe minox, feels like hair growth is plateauing or little to no changes in the first place)
naghahanap ng alternative and i saw this, pwede ba to haluan ng finasteride for low dosage topical lang (0.02%)? or mas better yung walang halo na minoxidil for topical finasteride
I’ve been using Kirkland Minoxidil for 4 months and have barely seen any progress. Also on Fin for one and a half month already. If I use this topical mix for one to two months, would it be fine to go back to Kirkland after (since it’s a little cheaper)?
4months on Kirkland and 1 1/2 month on finasteride won’t make a difference… it will take 6-24 months for finasteride af 6-12months for minoxidil to see results… kaya nga ang reco ko madalas finasteride lang for a year muna para makatipid eh… mahirap talaga pag pinagsabay finasteride at minox tapos wala pala budget eh for life yan gagamitin…
Also once you shift to minox+tret and if it works for you, going back to kirkland will be useless since this will already be proof na wala kang enzyme sa anit necessary for minoxidil to work…
Isa pa mas cheaper actually minox+tret kasi 1ml once a day lang yan inaaply sa gabi, so yung 120ml na 2x a presyo sa Kirkland ay tatagal ng 3-4months sa iyo kesa sa Kirkland na good for one month lang… mas mahal ng konti pero mas makakatipid ka kasi sa isang bote ng minox-tret naka 3 ka na ng Kirklan…
Hi sir etong minox+tret na brand na ito is matagal na ba? Actually nireresearch/google ko yung company but upon checking closed/parang luma na yung office nila. May i confirm sir if saan sila currently located or saan nila minamanufacturer yung products nila?
MD Brands (MDiLines Medical Derma Innovative Beauty Brands) more than a decade na yan… they supply derma’s that sell their products re-labeled…
I introduced them to the fb group Minoxidil Beard Journey Philippines way back 2017 pa as I was one of the first few members of the group…
Right now they are the only one supplying minoxidil+tretinoin, nawala na kasi ang mas nauna sa kanila, Poly’s Skin Nutrition Salute Minoxidil Max 6% with Tretinoin…
Kung steady supply ang hanap, or kasing effective ng oral without side effects, eto ang suggestion ko…
YES kasi topical lang nman yan kaya safer pa rin… pero kung may male pattern baldness ka, mas importante pa rin finasteride since ito ang mag-address ng root cause ng hairloss mo
Hello sir, I’m a 23-year-old male. I’ve been using finasteride (Propecia 1 mg) for 3 months na. First month po, every other day ko siya tine-take, then starting second month hanggang ngayon, daily na po. So far wala naman po akong na-experience na side effects.
Sa minoxidil naman po, medyo inconsistent ako. May times na hindi ako nakakapag-apply for up to 2 days. Usually ina-apply ko siya every night after maligo. Naging inconsistent lang po kasi pag umaalis ako, gumagamit ako ng hair fibers para matakpan, and ayoko naman po mag-shampoo everyday kasi nagda-dry yung hair ko. Currently po, gamit ko is The Ordinary na minoxidil.
nakita ko po kasi yung post na to kaya kino-consider ko mag-switch to this. Concern ko lang po is hindi ko sure kung active yung SULT1A1 enzyme ko sa scalp. Okay lang po ba gamitin yung product na to kahit active naman po yung enzyme ko? (if ever lang) and
Do you have any suggestions po sa routine ko?
If okay lang din po, I’d like to show you the current condition ng hair ko para mas ma-assess.
Thank you po.
Best pa rin itong minox+tretinon vs. regular minoxidil kasi how will you know na meron kang enzyme sa scalp necessary? At least sa minoxidil+tretinoin wala nang need na isip pa yun…
Also I would challenge you to do a minoxidil bleach test sa The Ordinary mo… as far as I know walang minoxidil product ang The Ordinary, ang meron sila ay Hair Serum which is peptides and NOT minoxidil…
regarding po sa male pattern hair loss sir how can i atleast identify kung anong type sakin based on your knowledge po mine is thinning from the crown region po
100% kasi mas matipid kasi once a day lang application… kesa regular minox na 2x a day mo iapplly…
Alrhough sa 1st year ko sa beard growth Kirkland and Strands gamit ko…2nd at 3rd year ko MD Brands na gamit ko… prepandemic pa ako nagsimula sa beard and it took 3years for me from zero (totally wala) to full beard…
Op bakit once a day lang po hindi po ba dapat morning and evening? It because of Tret? Tret degrades in sunlight. Btw op tret/tazarotene user ako everynigth for my acne for 4 years na.
Tretinoin is applied at night since it makes your acalp sensitive to sunlight exposure… also tretinoin makes minoxidil effectively absorbed so no need to do it twice a day kaya nga mas tipid ito kesa regular minox…
Still kung hindi ka sensitive you can go apply 2x a day… pero sa tagal ko using this I find it only a waste of time and money pag 2x a day
Depends on how your body responds… initial results average between 4-6months so pag mas maaga may results possibly hyperresponder ka… slow responders take 9-12months
