So what do you think about the topical steroids. I just got my first round of steroid shot. And I also use a roller dermal needle. Scalp massages. But I will not go back to minoxidil. 😔
@@K9Trixx well I use minoxidil and it made my hair. fall out once I stopped beating it. But I am a female so I don't know if these things will work on me. 🌝
Tretinoin is difficult to get in the UK, I had to use an online pharmacy and got 2 tubes of cream and 2 of gel and it was €68 from Romania. An interceding bank took a large chunk but the pharmacy honoured the deal when I showed them the transfer receipt. I’ve also got it from an Indian online pharmacy. It’s extremely good at improving sun damage over a year or 2, I’m 59 male, outside worker and my skin has improved massively, I look years younger than my peers, no crows feet, and just a bit of sun damage to my neck. It’s good stuff,
I was a stupid kid and got brainwashed by the Muh Vitamin D crowd and used to roast my face in the blaze of the Eastern sun. Now at age 21 i look 40 . Do you think tret will be effective on my sun damage?
It's important to note that tretinoin can be very harmful (carcinogenic) when exposed to direct sunlight. Never use tretinoin as a part of your morning routine only before bed.
This is why you should also use a 50+SPF sunblock when outside during the day, when using tretinoin, which may cause the skin to be more sensitive to sunlight.
I use to use Tretinoin Retin A cream first thing in the morning. Followed by rogain. Then rogain again at night without Tretinoin... Long story short I had no negative side effects n my hair grew back
$5 is crazy good. My cost is relatively high even with a coupon. I’m thinking of using adapalene instead since it’s available over the counter for much less.
Can't find the whole study with the details of the tret application. Some people say to apply the minoxidil first, let it dry and then apply the tretinoin.
don't add caffeine to the mix b/c it does not have synergy with minox - also blocks adenosine. You would have to add adenosine if you want to the caffeine to be useful
@@zatoidarkchi yea cause it blocks dht and adenosine. The latter is necessary for hair growth. Also has the opposite effect of minox in blood flow in that it restricts and minox expands
I was told to mix tretenoin 0.05% + minoxidil 5% + a little bit of olive oil and apply that mixture every night so as not to dry out the scalp because of minoxidil and tretenoin. But I am skeptical if adding olive oil would reduce the efficacy of the other two products
In my opinion tretinoin can be useful starting off minoxidil treatment or if you haven't seen results in a while, but if you have been longer than a few years and you already had the improvement i dont think is gonna improve something that is already at the best shape. I think the only thing it might do is make you get your results faster. PD: i would use first a leave in moisturizer conditioner and the apply retinoid mixed with minox.
I take topical finasteride and minoxidil and microneedle 1 time per week. Should I add the cream as well? You kind of allude to only using either that or finasteride in the vid, thanks
Hi thanks for your video! I tried 0.01 % tretinoin in 1 mL minoxidil daily for 2 weeks and its made my scalp pink. Is this OK or should I stop/readjust? Minoxidil alone never irritated my skin and always worked well for me. I have sensitive skin and when I used tretinoin for acne it also made my face more pink as well so I stopped. What are your thoughts?
People who apply tretinoin to their face are often recommended to use sunscreen every day because tretinoin can make the skin more sensitive to the sun. When tretinoin is used on the scalp to address receding hairlines, it's likely that the scalp becomes more vulnerable to sunburn. This increased sensitivity to the sun may lead to a higher risk of skin cancer. - just my guesswork...
Tbh waiting 20-30 minutes in between is too inconvenient for me. I just create a topical cocktail in a shotglass with minoxidil, a dab of tretinoin, and RU58841 powder. Then use dropper to mix it up and apply. Worked amazing for me, combined with oral fin and 1.5mm/5d. Went from being past the NW3 mark + serious diffuse thinning, to NW2 + unnoticeable amount of thinning in 9 months. And I'm still getting new hairs sprouting out of my frontal forelock and below my hairline. Have a hair transplant planned, but if things continue like this, I'll either cancel it, or just do it for perfectionist reasons, as its not super necessary anymore.
Just to share my experience. I used tretinoin 0.025% once a day for like 5 months and it absolutely dried the hell out of my scalp. My scalp became grainy and was inflamed and irritated all the time. This aggravated period long exceeded the normal purging phase that tretinoin induces. I switched over to 0.01% and it was better but still irritated so I dropped tretinoin sadly. Might try it again however
with tretinoin it's also a good idea to increase application gradually. it takes a while to get through the retinisation process. I worked up to daily application over the course of a couple of months and i always follow up with a moisturiser.
Very helpful: I so much Appreciate your Emphasis on data science. I’d Heard about the connection between tretinion and minoxidil a while back. Going to re-incorporate it into my routine. Thank you Aaron
I’ve been using the derminator 2 for about 6-8 months with not much progress. I use the 12 needle cartridge at 1.5mm once every 7-10days and I use topical minoxidil daily. I heard some people say they get better results using only .5mm depth every other day because you get much better absorption of the topical minoxidil. What do you think?
Are you still using Tretinoin for your hairloss? Do you plan on doing a follow up video? I'm already on Isotretinoin (10mg) so I'm wondering if applying it topically would really be necessary for increased minoxidil absorption.
Hello, greetings from Chile. I have a question. after applying tretinoin should you wash your face and then apply minoxidil? or is it applied directly to the area with tretinoin?
Has anyone tried doing a 0.25 derma roller every other day to increase adsorption? I already do 1.5m microneedle once a week. Was wondering if it's worth working in.
I'm microneedling on at 1.5mm every monday........going to start implementing 0.25mm on a Thursday around the hairline and temple area. Will see how it goes
@@scooby8859 good ideas friends, I will try doing 1mm-1.5mm every Sunday. And using tretinoin Retirides 0.25 directly afterwards. Next morning minoxidil regular.
I been trying to find that out but even with tretinoin there was only one study using tretinoin and minoxidil together. There are 0 studies using minoxidil with other retinoids. Tretinoin works by upregulating sulfotranferase enzymes. Do other retinoids do that? I have no idea couldn't find any information about that. I suspect they would but it's uncharted territory. But when applied retinol converts to retinaldehyde which converts to tretinoin. So maybe retinaldehyde would work about as well. Maybe adapalene would work . Like I said there's no research that I could find
You mentioned using a moisturiser as minoxidil and tretinion are very drying. How do you moisturise the scalp? I have plenty of Tret but haven’t used it on the scalp yet. However the minoxidil I use daily already causes itching/irritation also makes my shoulder length hair feel slightly sticky with build up. Bad if you don’t like washing hair more than twice a week. Also If I add hair oil for example to moisturise scalp after using tret , will the minoxidil still work and penetrate? (I’m also looking to start micro needling).
Questions: - Once a day tretinoin, so that means one minoxidil session will be "on it's own". I guess that's because tretinoin cream stays a long time on the scalp? - Have you personnally done, and do you recommend, actual hair testing to measure sulfotransferase enzyme activity to predict response? - Rogaine official instructions are HALF A CAPFULL twice per day. That seems like a minuscule quantity and nowhere near enough to cover (at least my) balding areas. Do you go over that recommended quantity with confidence?
There is some people saying retinol/tret/accutane increased hair loss. Think I'll stay away until it's a more common treatment, and stick with the Big 4.
Tretinoin and Accutane are very similar but completely different if that makes sense? Accutane consumed for acne may result in hair thinning. Tretinoin topical is to support sulfotransferace activity with minoxidil
I am keen to try this. Approximately how many times can you reuse these cartridges and how should they be cleaned and sterilised to be able to use again? Thanks.
They’re for single use . Not for re use for sanitary purposes , the needles are making holes in your skin and you don’t want any foreign bacterias inside
Since TRETINOIN is very harsh and bad drying for the scalp and I am also applying MINOXIDIL 30 minutes later, when should I apply moisturizing lotion to counteract the dryness that TRETINOIN brings?
Great stuff, thanks for the video. I recently started minoxidil, dermarolling and retinal (only on the face, yet), and will be moving to tretinoin soon. Also on oral finasteride, and doing scalp massages. The fact that most of these treatments work synergistically for skin and hair is awesome. One question though, is there any reason why you would apply tretinoin before minoxidil, and not the other way around?
Okay so question. So I’m using Minoxidil, and Retnol for beard growth and it’s working, however I get dry skin after! Can I apply some Hyaluronic Acid moisturizer after waiting like 4-5 hours?
thank you for the video, very helpful, there is no information anywhere on how to apply Tretinoin to the scalp. before minoxidil? how long before? mix them together? how much tretinoin? can i put it on a humid or wet scalp as one comes out of the shower? there is literally no info, and the problem is that if one has hair and want to apply to the scalp the hair gets in the way, and one does not know how much they should use to make up for the hair getting in the way, and you only show us how to apply it on the hairline. Also if I do this at night, can I wash my hair in the morning and then spend my day without neither minoxidil nor tretinoin on the scalp and just depend on it being applied in the evening.? any help with my question will be highly appreciated.
Ok, microneedling i use once week. Minoxidil i use twice day(morning and before sleeping) so, how often can i use tretinoin? Every time i use minoxidil?
I have been on minoxidil for 8 months now with very little gains. I have using foam in the morning and liquid at night. Could that at all be the reason why I have such slow gains?
Ive been using minoxidil on my “beard” for almost 2 years now and overall haven’t responded much. I just started tretnoin and I’ve been on it for 3 weeks and my dermatologist told me I can’t use my dermaroller but I can still use minoxidil. Sucks because I literally started rolling my beard like 2 weeks before so I never got to see if it would help with minoxidil absorption
Hello！（I am Chinese, if you have any doubts about what I said, please forgive me.）I have been following on you lately. First of all, Congratulations for you beautiful hair. I hava a question on electronic micro-needlings. Most people were using the Dr.pen micro-needling when I went on the youtube and reddit website . But in China, I notice that most people were using the Sendery micro-needling.The Sendery company which belongs to German only makes hair loss related products, but I couldn't find them on any foreign websites. So Can you give me advice on how to choose one of the two device.Thanks for you answer appreicately.
Im using tret and minox on my beard also i do dermarolling twice a week, do u suggest wait .24 hours after rolling before i apply minox again on beard or apply immediately after rolling?
It depends on what length the needles are for your derma roller. 1mm and 1.5mm you should wait 24 hours. But if you’re using a .25, .50, or a .75 derma roller than you can apply minoxidil after rolling.
for me personally micro needling + minoxidil caused side effects bc I didn't wait the full 24 hours and sometimes even applied minox right after. it was very effective though. especially in the temples. however I am excited to try out tretinoin.
I don't think it's better than minoxidil, especially for beard growth, since some of the compounds on these things actually have natural topical DHT blockers, and beard actually needs DHT to develop. Minoxidil is very effective to develop a beard though, i had no beard at all and after 6 months i now have a full beard, and i've seen many people who achieved the same, it's actually much easier to grow your beard with minoxidil than to grow your hair.
Do you happen to have any videos or plan to do a video discussing finasteride sheds? I think some of us under the 1 year mark could use some reassurance or explanation as to why it happens? As always, thank you for your hard work
@@Samfrancis0000 why would you be applying it to an open wound..If you microneedle you don't put minoxidil + retin a on straight after you have to wait 24 hours
@@DaVinciXw There is no consensus about that. The risk of scarring increases with higher depth, the amount of induced inflammation is also higher. One study showed that .6mm is even more efficient than 1.2mm.
@@DaVinciXw Current understanding is definately not as black-and-white and you make it out to be. 1.5 can potentially cause scarring on severely affected and bald areas, because scalp skin thickness is much lower there. Which thinking about it maybe doesn't make that much of a difference because the follicles are so far gone lol. Except maybe for creating damage for future transplant reciever areas?
Hey no as research talks about tretinoin, not other retinoid forms which need conversions, except granactive retinoid which needs no conversion and can be used
hello so i have a receding hairline. i got the best mcdonalds hairline youll ever see. anyways while applying minoxidil liquid do i use 1 ml for both sides. or 1 ml for each side?
Does using minoxidil with tretinoin diminish the effectiveness of tretinoin for its intended purpose? I was hoping that I could work on both my acne and scars, while also growing more facial hair. Is there any research that touches base on this?
I would say yes since it exactly the same thing people who get a perscription for acne use. I guess the only thing would be the difference in would be dosages for applying it on the scalp vs applying it for acne. But haven't done enough research on that yet.

But in China, I notice that most people were using the Sendery micro-needling.The Sendery company which belongs to German only makes hair loss related products, but I couldn't find them on any foreign websites. So Can you give me advice on how to choose one of the two device.Thanks for you answer appreicately.
I thought this is teaching how to use micro needling but I still dunno how
can I apply first the minoxidil and then the tretinoin ??
Tretinoin increases the minoxidil absorption so tret first
Tretinoin (vitamin a derivative) for skin spots and wrinkles. Micro needling dermabrasion tape? Derma stamp
I got a gel version not the cream version, will it work the same?
It will. Gel usually is a stronger concentration tho so use less of it
Im using tret and minox on my beard also i do dermarolling twice a week, do u suggest wait .24 hours after rolling before i apply minox again on beard or apply immediately after rolling?
It depends on what length the needles are for your derma roller. 1mm and 1.5mm you should wait 24 hours. But if you’re using a .25, .50, or a .75 derma roller than you can apply minoxidil after rolling.
How often should you apply tretenoin and minoxidil? Twice a day? Once?
once is enough, usually evening
Hi. Do you think microneedling can help to regrow hair or improve scars in the donor area? Need advise please.
Is there no point using tretanoin of you are taking oral minoxidil?
prob not since it's not being applied topically and rather metabolized by the liver
You can use tretinoin even before peptide based hair serum, not just with minoxidil, my dermatologist suggested me to do so
After Microneedling & Tretinoin, instead of Topical Minoxidil can i apply The Ordinary Multi-Peptide serum?
How many days a week r u doing this? Or are you just doing it after microneedling
Where did you guys get your tretenoin ?
How many times a week?
for me personally micro needling + minoxidil caused side effects bc I didn't wait the full 24 hours and sometimes even applied minox right after. it was very effective though. especially in the temples. however I am excited to try out tretinoin.
What side effects did it cause applying minoxidil right after micro needling ?
@@KingKenny. chest pain (used 1mm roller)
@@maurice1003 thanks for the reply m8
What if u take oral minoxidil? Is it still necessary to use topical?
No
Not necessary but many take both together
Do you think it'll work with a retinoid like adapalene instead of tretinoin?
Can you give a review about REDENSYL, CAPIXYL, PROCAPIL AND BAICAPIL
or for short RCP. Is it better than minoxidol??? For beard growth
I have started using redensyl for about 3 months with minoxidil ans microneedling .. i hope he does a review on this too
I don't think it's better than minoxidil, especially for beard growth, since some of the compounds on these things actually have natural topical DHT blockers, and beard actually needs DHT to develop. Minoxidil is very effective to develop a beard though, i had no beard at all and after 6 months i now have a full beard, and i've seen many people who achieved the same, it's actually much easier to grow your beard with minoxidil than to grow your hair.
I use both RCP and minoxidil now for best results, one at day another night
Do you happen to have any videos or plan to do a video discussing finasteride sheds? I think some of us under the 1 year mark could use some reassurance or explanation as to why it happens? As always, thank you for your hard work
What about valporic acid and standalore with mix of minoxidil in one bottle?
That will be more effective for hair regrowth

What would u say to the people claiming tretinoin actually caused hair loss. Dermatologists seem to claim this is an actual side effect
It lacks scientific data that it can cause hair loss
If oral can cause hairloss but if topical hair growth
Can I use minox with tretinoin for beard growth > ?
Yes
Is it possible if I use tretinoin after using the minoxidil instead?
No you want to use it before
Tretinoin with ru58841v?
Can you only get Trentinoin by prescription or over the counter ?
Prescription
My concern with dermarolling + tretinoin would be systemic absorption of tretinoin causing vitamin A toxicity
What are you using?
People use retin a on their face everynight for years straight
@@pullmyniblets low IQ. Do they apply it over open wounds?
@@Samfrancis0000 why would you be applying it to an open wound..If you microneedle you don't put minoxidil + retin a on straight after you have to wait 24 hours
@@pullmyniblets booya
just curious - why do you only sell 1.5mm derma rollers? isn't that on the dangerous side?
I think that's the recommended length you should use. Doesn't hurt that much at that length either. Anything smaller isn't really penetrating enough.
@@DaVinciXw There's only a few studies on the best needle length and it's quite inconclusive still, but the general advice is to use a 1-1.5mm needle.
You can look into the Derma stamp or dr pen on my website if you want to adjust the needle length
@@DaVinciXw There is no consensus about that. The risk of scarring increases with higher depth, the amount of induced inflammation is also higher. One study showed that .6mm is even more efficient than 1.2mm.
@@DaVinciXw Current understanding is definately not as black-and-white and you make it out to be. 1.5 can potentially cause scarring on severely affected and bald areas, because scalp skin thickness is much lower there. Which thinking about it maybe doesn't make that much of a difference because the follicles are so far gone lol. Except maybe for creating damage for future transplant reciever areas?
Where can I get some?
Is it okay to use 32 pin ?
Great video, thanks for doing a video on this, much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
Can I use over the counter retinol?
yap but it's not as strong
Can you use diffen gel instead of trendnoil.?
Yup
Hey no as research talks about tretinoin, not other retinoid forms which need conversions, except granactive retinoid which needs no conversion and can be used
Would topical tretinoin work to enhance oral minoxidil?
No.
But this Vitamin A derivative is not available in the UK.
Of course not. United Cuckdom bans everything useful
Hello
Hi 👋
hello so i have a receding hairline. i got the best mcdonalds hairline youll ever see. anyways while applying minoxidil liquid do i use 1 ml for both sides. or 1 ml for each side?
Can we get tretnoin here in uk if so where can I buy, thanks

@@zatoidarkchi
What will i say to him?
I need tret to enhance minoxidil to get thick hair to get girls?
If I apply minoxidil twice I day, do I also apply tretinion Twice a day too?
That would dry tf out of your head
Once
Does using minoxidil with tretinoin diminish the effectiveness of tretinoin for its intended purpose? I was hoping that I could work on both my acne and scars, while also growing more facial hair. Is there any research that touches base on this?
I would say yes since it exactly the same thing people who get a perscription for acne use. I guess the only thing would be the difference in would be dosages for applying it on the scalp vs applying it for acne. But haven't done enough research on that yet.
