lol damn that is lazy! I'm using 5% minoxidil solution (the men's version, women's was 2%), generic CVS brand. I'm using a very, very small amount on a 1sq' patch on either side of my face. I've been using since whenever the date of the post in this thread indicated (~6 weeks if i had to guess). I have some definite dark peach fuzz, but thicker than that.
I'm not back to report any new advances on the face, but rather that my happy trail area is showing a little bit of growth. I've never had much of anything there, and now i'm starting to get thin, dispersed, low hairs there.
Spoonman, i'm anxious and just like to take care of things. I'm 23, and can't get the sideburns i want, so i just tried using this. I'm using a very small amount, so i'm not worried about much, it's a tiny inconvenience to do the twice daily applications, and the bottle (that i've barely even dented into yet) was under $20. So, i could just wait, and maybe in 5 years i'd have what i want, but i just think the increase in speed is worth the price/annoyance of using this product instead. Plus if it works, then many others who want the same as me may be more encouraged to go and do so (note that i'm not suggesting this, just merely posting my experiences as a facial minoxidil guinea pig. This may not be safe in the way hte scalp is, more definitley gets in through your face than through your scalp (into your system), which is why i'm getting belly hair. To combat that, i'm just doing very small, square inch patches on each side of my face, and applying pretty lightly. I have read accounts where kids were using like a bottle or two a month, generously slathering their entire beard area with it, who started getting lots of unwanted bodyhair growth, and drops in blood pressure. Minoxidil is a last-resort blood pressure lowering drug).
