Hello! ive recently been seeing people use minoxidil/ rogaine on their face for beard growth. i was wondering from a health stand point, is it safe? are their any large health risks associated with it? might there be any better products to use?

Most doctors feel it might be be of some benefit , but advise better and safer products including castor oil , and supplements like biotin and folate . People with sensitive skin might react to minoxidil so a patch test is recommended. It is generally not so effective for beard growth as the hair growth is more dependent on DHT ,a stronger form of testosterone.
