Hello, I found some recent studies about the benefits of combining Retinol with Minoxidil for increased hair regrowth. One of the studies refers to retinol as tretinoin, I will post what I have found below. I would like to try this and I was pondering about the best method. Do you guys think I could just mix Retinol Powder (Retinyl Palmitate) with the generic Kirkwood Minoxidil? I have also understood that some people just use Retinol serum on the scalp separately from Minoxidil, anyone on here have any experience with this?
Thank you in advance,
Brooks
