How to use minox for beard and retin-a/azelaic acid together?

[gymislife]

I plan on using minox on beard only once (at night) but I also use retin-a/azelaic at night, in what order should I apply them and how long should I wait inbetween?

I think something like cleanser -> retin-a -> minox -> moisturizer would be best but I don't know how much I should wait inbetween

Apply minox in the morning

Does minox absorb into the skin fast? or does it leave like a layer on my skin? if im gonna go outside in morning i don't wanna walk around with an oily layer of cream on my skin? I've never used it before so idk

Oh actually combine it. I never used it but i read this article.
Minox in comination with tretinoin increases hair growth.

Topical tretinoin for hair growth promotion - PubMed

Topical all-trans-retinoic acid (tretinoin) alone and in combination with 0.5% minoxidil has been tested for the promotion of hair growth in 56 subjects with androgenetic alopecia. After 1 year, the combination of topical tretinoin with 0.5% minoxidil resulted in terminal hair regrowth in 66% of...

So does anyone know how can I combine it, should I use one right after another? or how long should I wait inbetween?? or should I just use minox in morning

I would say put first minox and then tretinoin because they say here that https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30974011 "tretinoin
enhances minoxidil response in androgenetic alopecia"
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17902730 - in this study they also combine it at night

Vitamin A compounds/ derivatives of tretinoin actually increase absorbtion of Minoxidil. Having two abrasives may be tough on skin, but Id say your best bet is Azealic+minox AM and Minoxidil +tret PM

I would use the retin a/azealic acid first. Wait for it yo dry then use minox

What did you do op?

i didn't use minox on beard for long.. it worsened my acne, i only use it for my hair now and works fine
but if u were to use it for ur beard i would recommend using it in the morning and retin-a at night, or just the 2 in seperate days
