Theory ‼️🚨Topical Minox on Eye lashes is fear mongered🚨‼️ (15 Viewers)

Topical Minoxidil on eyelashes is overly fear mongered !!


​

I was going through this post on reddit and saw this transformation via topical Minoxidil applied to the eyelashes:

Spoiler: Before/After

Before:

After:

Common fear monger copes you will hear about using topical minox on eye lashes:

Spoiler: Copes

"if I gets in your eye, you will go blind bro"
-This is not possible as Minoxidil mechanism's cant even damage the retina or optic nerve, at best you might mild irritation.

They get this myth from the fact is contains Propylene glycol, and Ethanol Alcohol. But here is the thing:

Guess what else contains Propylene glycol ? your fucking shampoo and moisturize

Mind you, shampoo is notorious for getting in the eye, and I don't see anyone going blind from shampoo JFL.

Or how about a moisturizer everyone likes to use:

A quick google search will even tell you ethanol alcohol cant even make you go blind, nor is there ever a recorded case of it.

After seeing this I have tried and have been doing it for 2 weeks so far, using a q tip with liquid minox from Kirkland every night 1 hour before bed.

Some things I noticed while doing it:

- I wake up with a bit of minor ocular edema (fluid retention) but this subsides throughout the day anyway's especially after a cold face rinse, n doesnt even look bad, plus it makes my UUE exposure less severe anyways so ig its kinda a plus for me.

- I had super minor irration when going to bed, but the feeling kind of went away after a while, I think my skin is getting use to it, no eye pain or eye redness either here.

- I have not touched the bottom eyelashes yet tho I might experiment with that later on tonight jus to test, n no I wont go blind JFL.


Expected result times:

Now we know that is usually takes around 3-6 months for topical minox to work the scalp follicles to actually cause any meaningful visual cosmetic difference. But the beauty of eyelashes is the fact it works faster and has a shorter anagen phase so it will most likely take around 2 months to see most of the results.




Reasons I am not using latise and oral Minox:

- Oral Minox Bloats the fuck out of you, so im going to pass

-Latise can cause dark circles and shrink orbital fat overtime, and most of the time this is not revirsable and hardly mitigable.

- Minox is cheaper and more convenient, and mogs every every lash serum in Sephora from a mechanism POV



Let me know your thoughts, and if anyone has tried this !!!

It is bad for you your eyelid skin is thin applying minoxidol can irritate it it's not made for the eye. The ingredients in it are to potent. Don't listen to this

So im guessing you dont use shampoo or moisturizer cause they also contain the ingredients lmfao, and dont apply alot, use a small amount on a q tip.

 

[VelocityAnt]

I've heard some guys on reddit straight up drink the topical solution

Even then applying a small part on the eyelid it's gonna reach the tearfilm and irritate it due to the harsh ingredients in the minoxidol. Especially because the eyelid skin is thin. Dont spread misinfo

lmao, if potency was the metric for safety then RetinA would be banned. Minox doesn't have a chemical composition that's dangerous.


"irritation" is not "damage" in systemic/permanent sense. it's simply a transient inflammation response. this is so fucking different from structural damage required to impair vision.

Wouldnt the most that would happen be irritation? Have you heard of anyone going blind from doing this?

No but personally I've done this before and I have dry eye now

latisse mogs
but good thread

Well that's just personal experience. Maybe you did it sloppily who knows. Nardicus102 are you experiencing same symptoms?

gonna reach the tearfilm

literally designed to handle harsh chemistry. its a saline based mucosal surface that exists specifically to remove debris.

there's a pH buffer system too. tears have a specific buffering capacity specifically designed to neutralize foreign shit.

tears contain lysozyme. they can handle brief presence of dil. propylene glycol.

irritate it due to the harsh ingredients in the minoxidol

your concern is c fiber activation, nociceptors fire and it becomes uncomfortable.
blindness requires protein denaturation and cellular apoptosis

so high iq. we're all your slaves.

I wonder who's alt it is

probably hyporoxin, i dunno

Good thread.

 

[Nardicus102]

Well that's just personal experience. Maybe you did it sloppily who knows. Nardicus102 are you experiencing same symptoms?

One thing I will mention is that in the morning of application apply a bit of vaseline, and also eye drops, I already do this since I jus started micro doing accutane, so if you are accutane your chances of irration are slightly higher, but again it mitigable.

The oral minoxidil bloat is a complete cope and fear mongering in itself especially at dosages as low as 2.5mg which at worst can be offset by indapamide or other diuretics and oral minoxidil mogs topical to death , much more convenient , more uniform stimulation don't have to deal with alcohol run off raping your skin

Facial edema occurring in as low as 0.3-1% of cases additionally is reported to resolve throughout the day generally even at 5mg

And as i said at worst use a diuretic

I love how you included this.

You do realize, there not looking for some bloat, rather there looking for pure facial edema that is 100% noticeable.

Everyone bloats on oral minox, infact the pathway responsible for oral minox working is the same pathway that bloats you

Most people dont notice they even bloat from oral minox until they come off, and coping with loop diuretics for some lash growth is comical to me

You can use a ARB, ENaC inhibitor, Thiazide, and also aldosterone blocker, and even with all of these stacked, the minox bloat will not be 100% mitigated thats the issue without having to reach for a loop

Most users don't even report fluid retention JFL
Yes everyone bloats to some physiological degree due to its MOA but if its not significant enough to be reported or observed (no measurable weight gain, no visible swelling , asymptomatic) then who gives a fuck?

You are making the claim that minoxidil bloats the fuck out of you which is simply untrue
Additionally how are the diuretics cope?

And what is your basis for making the claim most people don't even notice the bloat until they come off

If you are bloating from 2.5mg oral minoxidil you are literally just genetic trash

 

[Nardicus102]

Cause most user's dont notice fluid retention when it happens, it accumulates very slowly like over weeks, and you see yourself everyday in the mirror without noticing.

Sacrificing angularity for lashes is that good of a ROI to begin with IMO. n the study isnt even checking "does this guys jawline still look sharp" like no, so relying on the study is silly.

You are making the claim that minoxidil bloats the fuck out of you which is simply untrue
Additionally how are the diuretics cope?

It does, it bloats you in multiple different mechanisms with the worst being Carpillary permeability. HGH bloats but it safely mitigable, Same with Test, n so on but when it comes to minox, you can hardly mitiagate it. Since your taking oral minox everyday are you also going to be taking Lasik everyday ??? like what

And what is your basis for making the claim most people don't even notice the bloat until they come off

Take look on the org, I even tried it myself and used it a year ago, never noticed it like you said, someone reported similar information so I came off for a month, and noticed a huge difference I dint notice originally. never touched it after that n used topical

If you are bloating from 2.5mg oral minoxidil you are literally just genetic trash

Being on GH and Androgens dramatically increases your sensitivity to bloating you know that right ? now yes this could apply to natty's but for enhanced people its even worse.
