Topical DHT vs Minoxidil vs Caffeine vs Caster Oil for Beard Growth

[Metabolism_Red]

Based purely on beard growth gains, which would be better.. topical minoxidil or topical DHT cream?
I am aware of minoxidil downsides but i am in a position where i want to grow a full beard as fast as possible as it would increase my looks substantially.
I doubt i would have to use much of either substance since i'm already hairy for my age and have lots of growth under my chin and along the sides of my face (1 inch+ long hairs) and I only need to address the extremely patchy areas on my cheeks which is ruining the looks of my beard and making it look more like a neckbeard. Perhaps dermarolling + topical caffeine and caster oil could be all that i need? Im not sure.

I think DHT will obviously have the most potent effect. Avoid minoxidil like the plague

I think increasing the local androgen receptors in the skin on the face is the only real way. And that has not been addressed much. Things like Cialis l Carnitine t3 increase AR but actual hormones or bio identyandrogens are likely worthless probably unless the 5 AR is sensitive and present there

Dermarolling does seem to increase vellus hair beard growth and androsterone maybe increased my beard growth big maybe.. but also gave me low mood and libido at times. Time and androgens and sensitivity to those 5-ar androgens and “genetics” for secondary male characteristics are all we know for now.
