    Minoxidil causing wrinkles under eyes

    Update: so I have been very strict about my skincare for 4 months now. Using vitamin c, sunscreen, tretinoin .025%, niacinamide and an exfoliator and STILL deal with crepey skin under my eyes. It has improved a bit but back in February my skin texture under my eyes was perfect. Since I’m only 22...

    Minoxidil causing wrinkles under eyes

    Checked them out and they formulated something with Tretinoin 0.015%/ Azelaic Acid 4%/ Niacinamide 4% for me. I’m so frustrated. Was / am even considering lower eyelid surgery but then again this issue also appeared when I was going through a very bad breakup and cried for months straight…also...

    Minoxidil causing wrinkles under eyes

    Would differin gel be a good option? The doctors where I live don’t take anything that’s cosmetic like hairloss and skin seriously so I doubt I’d get a proper prescription

    Minoxidil causing wrinkles under eyes

    I’ve heard many times that you’re not supposed to put such a strong retinoid under your eye area. that’s why I’m using a specific eye cream with just retinol so it doesn’t irritate. has helped only so much so far

    Insomnia from minoxidil or Dutasteride?

    I recently started Dutasteride and lowered my dosage of oral minoxidil to 5mg at about the same time and been experiencing insomnia since then... it wouldn’t make sense to me that it’s the 5mg of minoxidil because I was doing okay on it for 5 months. Is it possibly just my body adjusting back to...

    Minoxidil causing wrinkles under eyes

    Thank you!! I went back to 5mg 2 days ago and just started retinol 1% from the ordinary and use daily sunscreen. I’ve read that you’re not supposed to use retinol under your eyes tho... is that true? also if I ever were to up the dosage again could I counteract the wrinkles with anything else?
