Minoxidil

Prescription

A hair-growth drug: topical over the counter, or a low-dose pill prescribed off-label.

Questions for a clinician

  • How long should I try it before judging results?

Tretinoin

Prescription

A prescription vitamin A cream for acne and sun-related skin aging.

Questions for a clinician
  • Which strength and base suits my skin type?
  • How should I build it into my routine to limit irritation?

Considering · Worth a conversation

Finasteride

Prescription

A prescription pill that slows male-pattern hair loss by lowering DHT.

Questions for a clinician
  • Oral or topical, and what are the trade-offs?
  • How long before I would know it is working?
  • What should I do if I notice side effects?

Just researching · Reading up, nothing decided

GHK-Cu

No prescription

Questions for a clinician
