    Just buy generic on Amazon or whatever. It does take a good amount of time before you see results. I’ve been doing it for a year and have considerably more facial hair now than before, but it was 3-6 months before I saw any difference

      Well here’s hoping generic is available here in Canada on something not Amazon. I live on an Island so things are a bit of a bitch getting delivered.

      So it took the time for you to actually grow hair before seeing it?

        It works by increasing blood flow to the area that you apply the medicine to. As the blood flow increases it slowly starts to simulate hair growth in previously dormant hair follicles, but it’s a slow process. At about 3 months I started to notice new small fine new hairs coming in. At 6 months those small hairs had grown into longer, larger hairs, and at the same time new small fine hairs were forming underneath them. At a year, most of the patches that had no hair in them before now have a pretty decent amount of hair and you can’t really tell they used to be completely bare. It’s a long process

  Is there something that does the reverse? I’m not personally a fan of the look and feel of facial hair (for myself that is), and I find it annoying having to shave all the time only for the hair to come right back before too long.

  I tried it for several months, but I saw no change.

  Minoxidil can cause heart palpitations so that’s not the best idea, that can get the oil in your eyes, mouth, and cuts

  Wouldn’t finasteride also work? Or is that more for the hairline?

    Finasteride only really effects hair on the scalp, since beard hairs isn’t effected by the chemical that finasteride protects against.
