Plz explain how u use it?

I used minox on my beard for 2 years straight twice a day. After that I slowly weened off on the last few bottles lasting about 7-8 more months I believe. Now I haven’t used any for the last few months and it’s gotten thinner. The areas that were not the strongest have gotten worse and overall the beard grows slower. It’s still full enough to have a beard it’s just not as thick. Sucks but I hope it doesn’t get worse.

Same is the result for me. I stop using minoxidil two years back, but my beard is intact. So for all those who are all going to use minoxidil, be careful not to abuse it. Because I over used it and in my country it was easily accessible to have 12% and 15% minoxidil. So don’t do that mistake use it wisely in breaks and don’t cross the 5% limit. Today I have complete beard but some side-effects on my cardio vascular system due to it. So in nutshell, it is a great product but you have to be very careful while using it. Don’t abuse it…
