I grow facial hair annoyingly fast and honestly, I hate how look when I’m not baby butt clean shaven. But I realize that maybe I hate my facial hair because my beard is a little patchy

I’ve heard minoxidil has been used for facial hair growth. Has anyone ever tried it?

Iirc rogaine works by stopping follicle shrinkage, which is why it's so specifically effective for pattern baldness. Probably doesn't do anything to areas where follicles are just sparse.
