My opinion on Alopexy for the beard
Alopexy for the beard is a medicine based on Minoxidil which is used by many men around the world. Its effectiveness is more or less proven and its side effects put off many potential users.
If you have already "tried everything" to grow your beard and you don't know what to do, you should try Alopexy for a few months. If not, I recommend that you first try natural methods such as beard oils, a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise.
To read: I don't have a beard, what can I do?
Its formula acts on 3 levels: blocking the DHT hormone (which is responsible for baldness), hair growth and increased hydration.
It is a very good alternative to Alopexy.
What is Alopexy?
Alopexy is a drug made to fight against hair loss: baldness (alopecia). This medication is also used by men to grow their beards and increase its growth.
It is intended to be locally applied directly to the scalp or beard..
Alopexy comes in a spray bottle, which allows you to spray it directly on the desired areas before massage or in your hand for simplicity.
What about Minoxidil?
Its composition is based on the Minoxidil, a molecule first used as a vasodilator treatment and then for alopecia (hair loss).
For a few years, Minoxidil has been used for men with little or no beard, because it would grow hair as well as hair.
Often purchased with the Alopexy
- Strengthens and protects the hair
- Gives a more vigorous and powerful look to your beard
- Nourishes and moisturizes in depth
- Gives a bright and shiny appearance
- Comforts the skin under the hair
In short, I highly recommend it if you want to increase the growth of your beard and mustache hair!
How to use Alopexy on the beard?
The use is very simple:
- Wash your hands to prevent germs from interfering with your application and causing redness or infection.
- Thanks to the sprayer with an applicator, you will only take the recommended dose of 1ml thanks to the pipette.
- Apply it twice a day to your cheeks and neck, where beard hair is supposed to grow.
- Massage your beard thoroughly, going over all desired areas to ensure even application. If you have a sparse beard or one with holes, focus the application on those areas.
- Wash your hands after use.
Please note: Alopexy and Minoxidil in general is often combined with the use of a beard roller because it would improve the growth effects.

To tell the truth, it's 50-50, some are happy with the before and after results and others are completely against the use of Alopexy.
This is quite logical, as the drug may work for some, cause adverse reactions in others. In addition, some men complain of a recurring problem: hair falls out after stopping the medication.

5% is more expensive than 2% due to the higher concentration of Minoxidil in the product.

You can find it cheaper on the Internet, on specialized sites or online pharmacies, which offer the purchase by credit card directly. And then, Alopexy is delivered directly to your home!

Conclusion on Alopexy for beards with baldness or holes
The Alopexy beard is a product that I do not particularly recommend unless your beard does not grow despite your efforts and previous attempts.
Indeed, I prefer to use more natural products, care and techniques such as beard oils, balm or simply boar bristle brushes to exfoliate the skin.
