A. Retinoic acid was an important additional ingredient, when minoxidil solutions only contained 2% minoxidil (Rogaine). With higher concentration minoxidil solutions, there is no need for retinoic acid, which can have more drawbacks than benefits. Retinoic acid acts as a chemical peel and can cause drying, scaling, redness and irritation of the scalp. Moreover, chronic use of retinoic acid makes the skin more sensitive to sun damage.
