Can .1% otc adapalene potentially be beneficial for alopecia barbae? im planning on using it for anti aging/sun spots but was curious if thats potentially a secondary benefit. saw some studies it may be beneficial. was just curious. thanks?

Highly unlikely. There are much better ways of treating Alopecia. However, should the loss of hair be due to an acne process, the adapalene would help to treat the acne ...and thus indirectly , the resultant alopecia
