    Ok but what are these trans people taking for those beards? Cause I’m Cis and I’ve never been able to grow such a majestic beard, mine cuts out after like an inch in length.

          If your body has the ability to grow more hairs, it will grow more hairs.

          No lol it’s over the counter and you apply it topically. The liquid is more powerful than the foam, but the foam is better for sensitive skin.

          Couple of things:

          • Wash your face before use
          • Apply it topically to the area 2* a day
          • Wash it off after an hour then apply moisturiser
          • Use sunscreen and wear a hat. Minox makes skin more sensitive to sun damage.

          It was originally a blood pressure medication with a side effect of growing hair. Don’t take it if you have blood pressure issues.

          No lol where did you hear that? You take it for a couple of years then stop once the hairs have become terminal hairs

            I watched a youtube short from a “doctor”. That’s the extent of my exposure to the subject
