I've tried Minoxidil for around 2 years and Finasteride for about 6 months.

My personal experience with Minoxidil, it's a relatively simple way of slowing down hair loss. I noticed during the first year I used it that I actually did grow some small hairs around my face more (where the minoxidil accidentally falls on). However, 2 years in, it seems the effect has slowed whether due to age or ineffectiveness, I'm not too sure. But I'd still use it over the long term.

Finasteride wise, I don't notice much of a difference in terms of hair volume but like before, excessive hair loss has reduced but growth is.... not as quick as I like? Will update more details after a year.
