    Hi. I'm 26 years old, started using minoxidil 5% from kirkland when I was 25, and back then I couldn't possibly grow a beard because of how patchy it was. I could grow the chin hair, uneven sideburns, a thin mustache and a few stray hairs that made me look dirty and stupid when I let it grow. After using it for 12 months (although I missed almost a whole month, and some days throughout the year because of work) I can now proudly grow a full beard while looking good rather than looking like an idiot with dirt on my face.
    There have been a few side effects, though! On the first week, I used it only once every two days so my body would get used to it, on the second, once every day, but I still had a few strange heart palpitations, they were slight and nothing to worry me about but they were there, so if you have any heart problems, avoid it. Another side effect is that especially on the first few weeks, your skin will get itchy, red, and irritated, it's up to you if it even happens and if you can withstand it, but with time I got used to it, and you can also use creams and oils to hydrate your skin... I also had a few headaches, but they were gone by the third week.
    And lastly, the worst side effect is that depending on your genetics your hair will not only grow on your beard but everywhere! All my body hair has increased after using it, including my hair (which is good), but the real problem is that some hair started growing on my face, underneath the eyes, and on my forehead, and it happens to a lot of people, so be prepared to remove them with a pincer, shave or trim them for as long as you're using minoxidil. They stopped regrowing about a month and a half after I stopped using it, though. But the beard still grows on! hahaha And it's been about 6 months since I last used it, so... It works!
    In conclusion: Is it good? Worth it? Would I use it again? YES! 10/10. This guy has a new subscriber thanks to minoxidil! hahahah

      The Beard situation that you mentioned earlier in your comment is the same I have and it's my week 3. I have great genes as my brother have a bushy beard and my papa too but I lacked on it. Where no new terminal hairs are growing there are many many vellus hairs just hoping that they would transit to terminal fastly. New terminal hairs are visible in pics I take for the result. Staying strong with my patience.

    Great video! I'm glad to see at least one naturally bearded UA-camr with a good head on his shoulders. Most of the time we see guys with giant, full beards like yours going in and bashing Minoxidil and saying that it doesn't work and that it's not safe and that you'll lose whatever hair you grow. So it's really refreshing to see such a positive video from a UA-camr with a really great natural beard. Thanks for this! I wish more people were like you.
    As far as the studies go, there have been a few from my understanding. I know of at least one that was done in Thailand by the Department of Dermatology at the School of Anti-aging and Regenerative Medicine in Mae Fah Luang University Hospital in Bangkok that found it to be both safe and effective for both beard growth and eyebrow enhancement.

Started taking minox and already in the first couple of months I started to get a mustache and a little bit of chin hair. Now almost 2 years later and I have a full beard. It's not the best beard ever, but it's still a full beard, and my mustache is honestly pretty good.

    UA-cam threw this in my recommended even though its hella old... Fun fact Minoxidil was designed as a med for hypertension/high blood pressure, but its side effect was hair growth in places people didn't want hair (back, face, etc.)... So while it may not work for everyone, topically (on your skin, not ingested) it is pretty safe and can potentially aid in growing hair.

I stopped using it for a month and the beard is still here no loss or anything but I just think my beard grew faster when I was on minox. The side effect I had were dry skin and tiredness at the beginning. I think it is safe and if you can't grow a beard naturally and you really want one, it is the best choice you can make.

It grows everywhere but my cheeks! I’m Thinking of trying the Minoxidil, couldn’t hurt to try, definitely seems to be inexpensive enough to take a chance and give it a go!!!

    My first attempt i bought it on eBay. 3 months supply came in an envelope. Notice some gains but nothing amazing by the end of 3 months. Recently tried again, but bought directly from a store (Walmart) this time. After one month I’ve noticed way more gains

    I can attest to the effectiveness of minoxidil. I was super annoyed with how patchy my beard was when I was much younger so, I used it on a couple of patchy areas just below my lips. I had to stop after I while because of some minor side effects but, I've got a damn full beard now compared to everyone in my family. Of course, it also gave me back hair, which I'm not thrilled about but, oh well. The beard's worth it lol
    Oh, and p.s. I don't know if you've looked into it but, I've noticed an observable increase in the speed of my beard growth when taking biotin. It's just a natural b vitamin but, it does seem to help some. Just gotta take about 10,000mg a day

    Minoxidil works, but side effects are real. Dryness, baggy eyes, puffy face. I had to stop after 4 days as my face swell. Advice, start slow, moisturise over it and maybe apply 1x a day for a while until your body accepts it. Also once hair starts coming in, you gotta keep applying until they go “terminal”. Google it, if you stop once you first get hairs coming on they will not stay permanently

    From experience, I'll say minoxidil does work. I'm on month 3 week 10 and it definitely works. I finally have hair on my cheeks and under my chin has finally filled up. Before I started I couldn't even grow shit besides a shitty mustache and maybe some hair under my lip and 3 little hairs on my chin lol. Genetics do play a huge roll though. I can't say it's going to work for everyone. My real biological dad didn't grow a beard until his late 20s which is thick and my grandpa on my mom side can grow facial hair, so I would of had a beard later on in my life. All minoxidil is doing is speeding up my process.

    People experiencing sides should probably lower the dose drastically and use .5ml MWF with weekends off so the body can get use to the foreign chemical being applied to it and then up those dose by going to .5ml 5 days a week and then incorporate .5ml 7 days a week and then increase to the full 1ml if found necessary. Less is more. Start slow. See how your body reacts. Then increase. Be safe beardless bandits and happy new year.

      Hi CL, may I know if you saw any good improvement after all these months?

    I don’t want a fast beard, slow and steady wins the race. What I want is to fill in the patches so then my full beard can grow slowly in its entirety

    i’m 23 and I just want a nice 5 o’clock shade cover my face. I can grow it about 90% but can’t get that 10% I think I might start

    I've been using oils for a while now. If I do the 6 months of minoxidil, should I stop the oils? Don't want a chemical reaction thing happening on my face. lol

      I usually apply oils 4 hours after using minoxidil because minoxidil is fully absorbed after 4 hours

    I used Minoxidil when I was 17 not to grow my beard, but because my hair started thinning like crazy😂 the problem isn’t age, it’s genetics. I started using Minoxidil on my face when I turned 18. Some people just can’t grow a beard regardless if they use Minoxidil (namely the Asians on the beard minox comm).

    So what happens if you stop using Minoxidil? Do the hair follicles go dormant again, and you’re back to where you started? Just curious.

    Do you apply this to the area you want to grow? And if so, how does it make all your hair grow if your not applying it to all your hair?

    I started taking it to fill in this patch that I have on my left side, but recently I’ve started having this chest discomfort. It’s right in the center of my chest and I can only feel it whenever I breathe in deeply. My allergies also started kicking up hardcore 3 days ago (around the same time I woke up with that chest pain) but I’m kind of paranoid this is messing with my heart. I’ve only been taking the stuff for a week.

    Turning 31 next week and I just did my first application of minoxidil because my beard skipped puberty.

      As this dude said, the minoxidil works and it's safe. I've been using it for like 4 months and it's giving results, so you should try it. Still, better consult a dermathologist first, and use it only if you don't have heart issues.
