Honestly you could start finasteride at 18. Especially if you are clearly losing ground. But it comes with a risk. Oral min and RU are very safe though.

Why would you need min powder? Just drink the liquid.
cheaper to get the powder
ye was thinking of oral minoxidil with ru58841 and ketaconozole shampoo for the remaining one or 2 years of puberty i have left and then take topical plus oral dutasteride(localised mild systemic plus strong systemic effect) while on trt (to maintain sexual function) after im finished with puberty, also would a high dose topical dutasteride be better then a normal dose oral (wouldnt the topical at a high dose be better because of its localised effect and the same level of systemic suppression as oral if used in a higher dose)

That’s way too much fuckery on your system. And dutasteride has made many men bald faster. Start with min + RU, add finasteride later if you’re losing ground.

Yep. Read many cases when finasteride worked better than dutasteride and people went alot thinner after the switch to dutasteride. Its all over reddit with picture proof.
Hey man, props for being proactive early — starting treatment in the early stages can make a big difference. That said, just a heads-up: buying raw minoxidil powder from sites like Alibaba, AliExpress, or IndiaMart can be really risky. Purity, contamination, and dosing are huge concerns unless you're sourcing from a pharmaceutical-grade supplier with verified lab reports (which most of those platforms don’t guarantee).
Since you're 18 and just starting to see recession, oral minoxidil (even at a low dose) + ketoconazole shampoo is already a strong combo. If that doesn’t slow it down, then looking into a well-tolerated topical anti-androgen like RU or CB-03-01 makes sense — but those are still experimental and not fully regulated.
If things continue or you're unsure about what to try next, I’d honestly recommend visiting a hair restoration clinic or dermatologist who understands male pattern hair loss in younger guys. You want to preserve what you’ve got long-term — safely.
