    Any of yall tried this for beard growth? My shipment just came in yesterday, I’m tired of having a baby face and little to no facial hair as a grown adult. I’m already a pmf (only in my head lol) so I know having a beard will give me that much more confidence.

    Any of yall ever had results with this? I’m using the foam if that helps any

    Haven’t done it myself, but I know somebody who did. It works beautifully. Problem is that as soon as you stop using it the hair falls right out

    Make sure to pair it with a regular, consistent skin care routine to the affected area. Limit the use of aggravating ingredients (fragrance for example) and keep your skin hydrated internally & externally

    Never used it for beard but I have decent knowledge on how it’s mechanism of action. I believe for the beard the gains are permanent but that’s not the case for the scalp. But there’s been studies that have shown that it can inhibit the collagen fibroblast & there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that ppl got dark under eye circles from it so take that into consideration

    I’ve done a decent amount of research and I haven’t come across that as an issue care to elaborate

    Beard growth is driven by genetics and that’s basically it. Everything I’ve seen online is basically a scam. Trust as someone who can’t grow a full beard I’ve been there. I’ve just accepted it as what it is

    It’s case specific & you won’t know unless you try plus it’s reversable

    I doubt you’d be interested of knowing the pharmokinetics anyways so here are a couple anecdotal reports u can look into. There are plenty more on those same sites

    Every man in my family has had a beard by my age or younger lol. I’m not accepting s***, I’ve had girls ask me what high school I go to. Last time I went into a liquor store I was getting death stares from the security guard and the employees

    Nah got no proper pics, but the pics on the subreddit are the real deal. Obviously how you react to it will depend on your own genetics. My whole family could grow decent beards but I never could so it was probs dormant, but at 20 and having nothing but a s***ty moustache and a few pubes on my chin I started taking it and saw results quick. After 6 months I had a respectable beard and after a year I was looking even sexier.

    Just do your research follow the advice given, stay consistent and you'll see some solid growth

    My dad has a full beard and a lot of men on that side of the family do as well. Not sure what it is but it is what it is. As I’ve gotten older I’ve gradually grown more and more. Not trying to discourage you just saying I personally wouldn’t dedicate my money towards it at this point. Good luck tho fam

    Damn 6 months? That’s quicker than a lot of what I’ve seen. Lmao I appreciate it though hopefully I can get to that level

    Preciate it my dad always told me to just keep shaving and it’ll eventually grow in, which is what happened to him apparently. I’m just too impatient

    The foam. I read the liquid dries your skin and is harder to absorb compared to the foam
