Would applying "minoxidil" on one's face be a good method to grow a decently full beard?

FDA Approval: There are many anecdotal reports of enhancing hair growth men's beards. I have not encountered any published peer reviewed clinical trials confirming its efficacy. Topical Minoxidil is fda approved for enhancing hair growth of the scalp vertex.
