I dont defend this douche guy, he deserve it for being an @sshole.
Tapi ada yang punya kronologi jelasnya dia sebenarnya ngapain sebagai affliator binomo? Gua cari di berita isinya di luar konteks dan isinya "diduga" dan ga jelasin kronologi urutannya sampe urusan pacarnya segala.
Ada yang bilang dia sebagai affliator meraup uang loss pemainnya. Gua ga ngerti soal app binomo tapi apa itu hasil loss bisa connect ke "kantong" dia? Apa dia jadi agen perantara ketiga macam judi bola?
Does binomo even legal? I mean its legal in India. Dan konsepnya nyambung ke forex kan?
Gua cuman pengen tahu aja ginian, bahkan telegram grup mayoritas kalangan "investor" begitu kan disangka tempat chat teroris dulu kan dan terus disuruh uninstall. I have trust issues because massive of propraganda we are facing rn.

hello! hope you're having great day! I've been really busy with ✨college✨ these past few months bruh , I've had 5 existential crisis already and already feel like dropping out lmao T_T. I regret saying I hated school. but anywayyyy this ain't no rant post. just because it didn't have time to post doesn't mean I stopped using skincare and I've tried more new products in the meanwhile!
chickenwingsandcoke is bacc biches.
but this list exclusively includes only those products that have changed my skin game this year. some of them are old ones that have been there for years and I've just tried them and some of them are new launches in india!
I will say I had a big shift around august from pharma products to k-beauty all of a sudden. mainly because a lot of k-brands launched on purplle and beauty barn and I went ham 🥵 not to dismiss the gems I found in pharmacies . I already made a post thirsting over them lol . so those products wont be included in this post. But still have a bunch of stuff to rave about! Products will be in random order since I'm too lazy to organize them properly. And no separate rating since all of these are 5/5 in my book! Hope this helps in your concerns and enjoyyyy!!
preliminary info
F18 (yes I'm finally legal as if I wasn't doing illegal shit before 😏)
skin type : dry , dehydrated, acne prone, dull .
concerns : PIH , pit scars, pores, blackheads, blemishes and sebaceous filaments .
weather : tapti garmi 🥵+ humidity 💦 dry winters. 💨
🦋I DEW CARE GLOW KEY eye cream
Mrp : Rs. 1620 for 15ml (got it for Rs.1250 from purplle)
For concerns :

• dark circles
• under eye dryness

texture and appearance : thick baby pink coloured cream. it literally looks cotton candy pink (unicorn puke🦄) . really really thick and you need a good amount for good spreadability. unscented.
I.LOST.MY.MIND.WHEN.I.SAW.I.DEW.CARE.LAUNCHED.HERE I really wanted to try their face masks since they all looked so yummy. but I'm also an eye cream addict hehe. so I bought this as my 🙏✨grih-pravesh ✨🙏product from this brand. it also came with a butt-plug looking de-puffing tool which was cute (coming from 'hi I've never used this thing before'🤡). its really moisturizing and nourishing. has vitamin c , coffee and guava extracts. definitely brightens the under eye area. it might be too thick for summers since somehow my eyelids sweat when I applied it sometimes (weirddd) but besides that it has been working amazeeee so far. this in combination with another eye cream (coming up!) is my (not so lol) secret weapon against dark circles + milia. this one doesn't have any actives pre-mixed in it so it can be used by all skin types!
🦋Celimax dermanature cleansing oil
Mrp : Rs. 1430 for 120ml (bought for Rs.1200 from foxy)
For skin types : all!
texture and appearance : watery clear oil. smells a bit like camphor but doesn't have it.
this was my first cleansing oil! and believe or not , its still going on after 6 months of buying lol. cant really compare this to any other cleansing oil since this was my first. but it effortlessly rubs off the gunk on my nose and good for dissolving your sebaceous filaments up to point. and easily takes off makeup and sunscreen! currently I have a new bottle of the acwell cleansing oil kept, so I'll be using that once this ends, but this will deffo be on my list of ✨'tel jo dukh duvidha hata deta hai' ✨lol.
🦋Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++)
Mrp : Rs. 1530 for 50ml (bought for Rs.1200 from beauty barn)
For skin types : dry, sensitive, acne prone and combination
texture and appearance : creamy white lotion (ya nasty-). unscented ( ha, ha , aur socho ashleel cheeze 🤡)
this deserves all the hype it gets on the net. my current and forever HG sunscreen (unless they change formulation). seriously this ticks all the boxes . no whitecast? check. great filters? check. doesn't make you face look like you rub pan grease on it? check. it absorbs so well and is more moisturizing than some of the moisturizers out there. obviously, wished we would get more quantity for the price paid but itna criticise karne ke baad bhi, brands toh behre hai 😔and on reapplication, doesnt feel like im doing the 100 layers challenge lol. plus , I don't feel regret when applying it these days, cuz no fear of sunscreen melting during winters (#rajailife) . taareef karu kya uski, jisneee tujhe banayaaaa✨~
🦋Johnson's Baby milk+rice cream
Mrp : Rs. 180 for 100g (bought from local pharmacy)
For skin types : oily, combo and dry. not for sensitive skin types cuz this is possessed by heavy fragrance 👻
texture and appearance : shiny soft cream.
bhai. my 2 yr old idiotic ass probably remembers mumma using this on me (even though she will always use himalaya baby range over johnsons, any day) . but funny story about this one too. sooo..... 5th grade mein , I used an entire giant ass bottle of himalaya baby shampoo for making slime (ghinn aati soch ke ab . aisa nayalak baccha-). ek do chata khaya and then turns out the nearby pharmacies didn't have himalaya baby range in stock. so she had to use the johnson's range instead. aur kya jacha ye wala cream. yes, I do cringe at the amount of fragrance in this but it sort of smells ✨nostalgic✨. but i didnt touch this cream for another 7 yrs and only had to buy this when my atoderm baume got over (woh bhi bhagwaan ki den hai 🙏). it works as an amazing morning moisturizer and will be amaze for summers as well. in winters, it can be a lil drying but not too much. ✨gigachad cream fs✨
🦋Beauty Of Joseon Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal
Mrp : Rs.1350 for 30ml (bought for Rs.999 from beauty barn)
For concerns :

• dark circles
• milia

the amount of hype a lot of skinfluencers was giving to this on insta..... IS ALL WORTH IT! omg this has changed my under eye area so much. bhootaniyat waali ankho se, ye wala emoji ✨✨ bana diya. idk if its the retinal in this or the ginseng but this has vanished my milia . literally. I forgot to take before and after pics for this since I didn't know if I would making this post at all lol (also considering how one of the users got treated for posting their eye skincare progress . yikes!😵). I use this everynight and the I dew care one every morning for the past month, and both of them are totally worth the price.
🦋I DEW CARE SAY YOU DEW moisturizing vitamin c cream
Mrp : Rs. 1850 for 50g (bought for Rs. 1240 from purplle)
For skin types : all!
texture and appearance : pale yellow gel cream. leaves a moisturizing matte finish without silicones! has a lemony scent to it.
I bought this after using the eye cream and for a dry skin girl to luck out with a moisturizing matte finish cream is 🔥🔥🔥. i will say initially it felt quite heavy and greasy but this ones a great ideal one for winter mornings! (positive paseene ki barsat if used in summers 🤡). it does bring out a good glow and you don't need much to the desired moisturization.
🦋I DEW CARE PEEL LIT exfoliating vitamin c pads
Mrp: Rs. 1925 for 60 pads (bought for Rs.1200 from purplle)
For skin types : all! especially those who want mild exfoliation and have dull skin
texture and appearance : umm...toner soaked pads? I aint squeezing one 😑 but clear liquid soaked pads. scented.
these are cutest toner pads out there! they have smileys on one side and the other side is textured for exfoliation. but this one is my favorite product from all the I dew care ones I have tried. the instant glow they give, is immaculate. I got so many compliments on my glowing skin when I used these, that too on first try. and mind you, I have never gotten any good remarks on the state of my skin (sad sad 😔 but shakal aisi 🤡 dikhti hai roz lol) . and you get so much of the product that one pad covers my face +neck+ elbows+ ankles and underarms ! it does however smell straight up like a squeezed lemon so keep that in mind. in comparison , they are definitely better than goodal apple aha pads!
🦋 Medi-Peel Peptide 9 Volume Bio Tox Ampoule
Mrp : Rs.1750 for 100ml (bought for Rs.1100 from beauty barn)
for skin types : all!
texture and appearance : clear jelly-like ampoule. it becomes watery when you rub it in. has a strong fragrance.
this ampoule has one of the most weirdest textures out there lol. first I thought they had given me an expired product , but video proof showed it was ok. its extremely watery and thin. but gives that baby booty plump skin in seconds 🍑. and absorbs so well into the skin. it literally doubles as a hydration + peptide/barrier repair in one bottle. and the quantity you get the (discounted 🤡) price is amazing. tbh wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't on sale , but so glad I did! it also soothes and gives a really good glow . I use it in the mornings and sometimes at night (now using tonymoly mochi ampoule). pyaar aa gayaaaa~
🦋 Matrix Opti Care Smooth Straight Split End Serum
Mrp : Rs.500 for 100ml (bought from local pharma)
for hair concerns :

• extremely dry ends upar sab theek but neeche neeche ghosla waala situation
• want that bOuNcEeee~

if you liked the other matrix serum (the avocado one), then you'll definitely be boppin your 🅱️ussy to this. its more thick 😏 more viscous 😏 and a little heavier 😏 than the avocado one. this one also has a rather interesting story behind it. so my latest salon waale bhaiya (parvez habib ✨🙏)taught me a technique to apply serum on my dry ass hair (not before telling me to meet a dermat and get a thyroid profile done 💀) . apply on tips, then crunch. just that. and this has changed mah life. ik a lot of you might already do this, but I had no idea about it so don't attack me. anyway, this is a great serum especially you're using a blow dry next for styling. makes my hair super shiny and soft. it doesn't have any scent which I don't really care about but can be a plus point for some. just don't let it come near your scalp, otherwise your hair will be greasy af. currently, I'm facing massive hairfall so I'm using this alongside my dermaco shampoo and serum and it still bops.
🦋 Haruharu Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner For Sensitive Skin
Mrp : Rs.1450 for 150ml (bought at Rs.999 from beauty barn)
for skin types : all! especially dry and sensitive skin types
texture and appearance : clear, slightly viscous liquid. leaves kind of a slight sheen on applying but goes away quickly. unscented but does smell like a bag of uncooked rice lol.
one of the best toners for sensitive skin types. really soothes inflammation and calms irritated skin easily. it is a fermented concentrate so not sure whether its fungal acne safe or not but it hasn't (touchwood) aggravated my acne at all. it might feel a bit greasy in the beginning but once it absorbs, its chikni chameli skin guaranteed 😌. I use this mostly in my PM routine and it leaves my skin so hydrated and nourished. its like those spinach shakes🥗 for your face all healthy healthy would recommend 💯💯👌👌do wish that the quantity be a bit more tho.
🦋The derma co. 3% Caffeine + Anagain Nourishing Scalp Serum
Mrp : Rs. 500 for 50ml (bought from nykka)
for hair concerns :

• hairfall
• overall maintenance

Texture and Appearance : looks like cu-💦
if their multi peptide serum wasn't a cherry on top, then this certainly was! this is more of an overnight leave on treatment than a serum. the way this increased my hair density was mind-blowing. it has a very sweet smell and really beneficial for those just want some scalp maintenance and hair growth. just yum yum (ew-)
🦋 The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution
Mrp : Rs. 900 for 240ml (bought for Rs.850 from nykka)
for skin types : would.not.ever.recommend.to.use.this.on.your.face. definitly not sensitive or dry skin types
for concerns :

• keratosis pilaris
• acanthosis nigricans
• ingrowns
• body hyperpigmentation
• general body exfoliation

odor? check. depigmenting? check. reduces AN? check. somewhat reduces KP? check. just a great, low effort exfoliator? checkkkkk. but wallet khaali hua le ke? also check 🥲but seriously , pichkari this all over my body like twice a week , aur skin softy softy and saaf ho jaati hai yaar. jaadoo in a bottle seriously. plus, also gives a better waxing experience since my hairs easily get out if I use this like a day or two before the appointment. also because of this, my bottle is getting over way too fast 💸💸. and underarm pigmentation who? this has drastically improved that too . its not completely gone but way less than before. too.good.
anddd thats it! I tried to cramp everything in this post but still a few items are left 💀 but that's for another post lol. hope this post helps you out on finding info about the latest products and basically anything if you wanted to know the products heheh. ill try to answer as many questions asked in the comments as i can and dms are always open for extra stuff! see you in another post! 💖💖💞

Halo gan, kembali lagi bersama saya u/puregrinding.
Kali ini aku akan review Renovit Multivitamin dan Mineral
Kandungan:

VITAMIN

Vitamin A 5000 IU, tapi gk dicantumkan vitamin A bentuk apa. Jadinya aku asumsikan itu mungkin Retinyl Asetat, bentuk paling umum di suplemen murah. Bentuk vitamin A yang biasanya jarang ditemukan di alam. Bentuk aktifnya adalah Retinol. Untuk jumlah segitu per kaplet udah lebih dari cukup untuk diminum rutin tiap hari.
Vitamin B1 HCl 10 mg. Well masih bentuknya Thiamine Hydrochloride, salah satu bentuk yang paling umum untuk B1 disuplemen murah seperti ini. Agak susah diserap dibandingkan Benfotiamine dan cenderung tidak stabil dibandingkan Thiamine mononitrate. Untuk dosisnya agak kurang, perlu ya setidaknya 50 mg karena B1 berfungsi untuk mengubah makanan menjadi energi.
Vitamin B2. Bentuknya lagi2 gk dicantumkan. Aku harap sih ada yang bentuknya R5P, tapi ya aku asumsikan dia pakai Riboflavin doang. Bentuk inaktif. Dosisnya 10 mg udah cukup. Riboflavin dari bahasa latin Flavus, artinya kuning.
Niacinamide atau Vitamin B3. 20 mg udah cukup pas, tapi kadang suplemen luar ditambahkan hingga 50 mg.
Vitamin B6 HCl Bentuk inaktif Vitamin B6, pyridoxine HCl. Ada variasi gen yang membuat tubuh dan liver sulit mengubah Pyridoxine HCl ke bentuk aktifnya P5P atau Pyridoxal Phosphate. Untuk 10 mg per hari saya rasa cukup. Vitamin B6 berperan sebagai kofaktor lebih dari 100 enzim dalam tubuh, pembentukan GABA, dan serotonin, hormon bahagia. Kadang dosis ditambahkan hingga 100 sampai 300 mg untuk menurunkan kadar prolaktin dalam bentuk injeksi, di mana prolaktin itu sendiri **penghambat testosterone dan dopamin.
Vitamin B12 Lagi2 gk dicantumkan bentuknya apa. Cyanocobalaminbiasanya ditambahkan dalam bentuk multivitamin murah, Cyanocobalamin adalah vitamin B12 SINTESIS Perlu diingat bahwa perlu EMPAT tahap metabolisme agar cyanocobalamin dapat diubah menjadi salah satu bentuk aktif B12 yakni Methylcobalamin dan Adenosylcobalamin. 30 mcg masih kurang, setidaknya 100 mcg karena B12 sendiri diserap sangat rendah oleh tubuh. Memerlukan faktor intrinsik untuk bisa diserap oleh tubuh ( ya meskipun difusi pasif dalam ileum bisa bypass faktor instrinsik).
Vitamin C My least favorite vitamin karena overhypedas fcuk ( knpa gk beli aja buah2an). 90 mg dalam Renovit udah cukup. Tpi aku gk tau apa bentuknya. Antara asam askorbat atau natrium askorbat.
Vitamin D Lagi2 gk dicantumkan. Cholecalciferol atau Ergocalciferol? 400 IU sih agak kurang, setidaknya 1000 IU per hari dah cukup.
Vitamin E Ah pasti dl-alpha tocopherol. Bentuk Multivitamin SINTESISmurah pasti menggunakan hanya satu bentuk vitamin E. Ada DELAPAN BENTUK vitamin E, tidak hanya alpha, tapi beta gamma, delta tocopherol.
Lalu bentuk MAHALnya sepertu alpha, beta, gamma, dan delta tocotrienol. 30 IU dah lebih dri cukup.
Folic Acid atau Vitamin B9 Ini yang perlu aku bahas. Folic Acid atau asam pteroylmonoglutamate, adalah Vitamin B9 SINTESIS yang perlu diubah kebentuk aktif L 5 MTHF agar tubuh bisa menggunakannya. 400 mcg biasanya dosis standar dalam multivitamin pada umumnya. Dan itu sudah cukup untuk AKG.
Masalahnya, beberapa orang memiliki variasi gen MTHFR yang membuat tubuh mereka tidak bisa mengubah dan mencerna asam folat ini menjadi bentuk aktif, meninggalkan UMFA atau asam folat yang tidak termetabolis dan akhirnya menumpuk di peredaran darah😤😤😤😤
Biotin atau Vitamin B7 Tidak ada bentuk spesifik yang bagus mengenai vitamin ini. Biotin berfungsi untuk menjaga keehatan rambut, kuku, kulit dsb. 45 mcg biasanya agak kurang karena rata2 150 mcg dalam bentuk multivitamin pada umumnya.
Vitamin B5 atau pantotenat
Bentuk aktifnya adalah Panthetine. Kabarnya bisa menurunkan kadar LDL dalam darah. Tapi yang ada di suplemen ini Asam pantothenat. Perlu diubah menjadi Panthetine agar dapat digunakan tubuh. 10 mg kadang sudah cukup, tapi kadang2 100 mg juga gpp per kaplet.

MINERAL

Calcium Lagi2 gk dicantumkan calcium apa.
Salah satu mineral MAKRO dengan kata lain, diperlukan oleh tubuh dalam jumlah besarr. 162 mg masih kurang, perlu ya setidaknya 500 mg per hari.
Tapi karena keterbatasan ruang di kapletnya, jadi dikecilkan dosisnya.
Yodium 150 mg pas. Aku kurang tahu tentang Yodium. Biasanya gk perlu besar2 karena sudah ada di diet kita.
Magnesium Gk dicantumkan Magnesium apa. Magnesium sulphate biasanya yang dipakai dalam multivitamin murahan. Mineral MAKRO juga. 100 mg dalam satu kaplet, well no bad. Batas perhari sekitar 500 mg. Tapi ya sama kayak calcium, tidak memungkinkan ruang lebih dalam kaplet untuk memuat 500 mg, kecuali dibuat lebih besar nantinya susah ditelan LOL.
Zinc Mineral mikro.
Lagi2 gk dicantumkan Zinc apa. Tapi tebakku pasti Zinc oxide. Atau zinc sulphate. Bentuk terbaiknya adalah Zinc Monomethionine atau dibrandkan dengan merek Optizinc.
15 mg udah pas. Tapi batasnya sekitar 50 mg per hari. Zinc bisa kekebalan tubuh, pendewasaan tubuh, pertumbuhan dan perkembangan, peningkat testosterone.
Oiya, kelebihan zinc dalam jangka panjang bisa menguras tembaga dalam tubuh. Jadi kadang harus diseimbangkan dengan Copper.
Selenium Mineral Mikro. Gk dicantumkan selenium bentuk apa. Selemethionine bentuk terbaiknya. Bisa kekebalan tubuh, antioksidan juga.
Copper Mineral Mikro. Paling bentuknya Copper sulfate. Wow 2 mg per butir? Dosisnya agak kelebihan sih. Paling gk harusnya 0.5 mg.
Manganese Mineral mikro

THIS ONE TRIGGERS ME😫😫😫

5 mg per KAPLET? SERIOUSLY??😑😑😕😕 Batasnya 2 mg per hari. Aku masih gk ngerti tujuan vendor suplemen OVERDOSES MANGANESE. gk bagus dalam jangka panjang bisa bikin kerusakan saraf, depresi.😤😤😤

Selebihnya udah oke.

Capek nulisnya di smartphone. 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Manfaat yang dirasa: Kalem enak tenang, lol.

My overrall rating is: 5/10.

Thanks.

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 — Turnamen di Qatar akan berlangsung pada hari Minggu, jadi siapa yang terlihat paling siap untuk mengangkat trofi, dan siapa yang terlihat kurang matang?
Mengingat waktu dan pengaturannya, Piala Dunia 2022 menjanjikan edisi yang tiada duanya. Tim-tim dari seluruh dunia telah sibuk menyusun persiapan terakhir mereka untuk turnamen, dengan beberapa tampil lebih baik daripada yang lain menjelang kick-off besar pada hari Minggu. Namun siapa yang difavoritkan untuk mengangkat trofi, siapa yang akan menjadi paket kejutan, dan siapa yang kemungkinan besar akan menjadi also-rans?
Kami telah memeringkat semua pesaing selama persiapan turnamen, dan inilah cara mereka mempersiapkan diri menjelang pertandingan pembukaan…

Arab Saudi

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Arab Saudi kembali ke Piala Dunia keenam mereka sejak kualifikasi pertama pada tahun 1994, tetapi mereka harus melakukan segalanya untuk menyamai penampilan debut mereka dengan mencapai babak 16 besar. Meskipun mereka memuncaki grup kualifikasi terakhir mereka dengan rekor pertahanan yang buruk, mereka berjuang keras untuk mencetak gol, hanya mencetak 12 gol dalam 10 pertandingan.
Mereka kemungkinan akan membutuhkan penyerang untuk menyerang, mengingat mereka akan menghadapi Lionel Messi dan Robert Lewandowski di babak grup.

Australia

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Australia lolos melalui adu penalti melawan Peru di play-off antarbenua mereka untuk mencapai final Piala Dunia untuk kelima kalinya berturut-turut, meskipun mereka menghadapi perjuangan berat untuk menyamai hasil terbaik mereka, yang terjadi ketika mereka mencapai babak 16 besar pada tahun 2006. Mereka akan menghadapi Prancis dan Denmark di babak grup, dan mengingat Socceroos hanya memenangkan empat dari 10 pertandingan di grup kualifikasi mereka, jelas bahwa mereka tidak sekuat dulu.
Dengan demikian, sedikit yang diharapkan dari mereka di Qatar.

Tunisia

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Tunisia telah mempertahankan sembilan clean sheet berturut-turut sebelum Brasil membuat lima kali melewati mereka pada bulan September, dan mereka akan membutuhkan pertahanan mereka untuk meningkatkan sekali lagi jika mereka ingin membuat dampak apa pun di Qatar. Prancis dan Denmark akan senang mengulangi apa yang dilakukan Brasil terhadap tim Afrika Utara itu ketika mereka bertemu di grup, dengan Australia menjadi nomor di Grup D. Tunisia belum pernah mencapai babak sistem gugur dalam lima penampilan Piala Dunia sebelumnya, dan pola itu sepertinya tidak akan berubah pada 2022.

Qatar

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Qatar adalah tim Pot Satu yang ingin ditarik oleh setiap tim lain, tetapi mengabaikan mereka akan menjadi hal yang bodoh. Finis di posisi dua besar saat menghadapi Belanda, Senegal dan Ekuador akan jauh dari kata mudah, namun juara Piala Asia 2019 ini memang terlihat mampu meningkatkan permainannya saat turnamen tiba. Negara tuan rumah telah dihapus sebelumnya hanya untuk menghasilkan beberapa hasil yang mengejutkan, jadi jangan mengesampingkan Qatar terlalu cepat.

Costa Rica

Setelah mengalahkan Selandia Baru dalam play-off antarbenua mereka untuk lolos ke turnamen, Kosta Rika akan berharap untuk mengulangi kepahlawanannya pada 2014 di Brasil, di mana mereka mencapai perempat final. Saat itu, mereka memuncaki grup yang mencakup Italia, Inggris, dan Uruguay, dan kali ini mereka harus mengalahkan peluang yang sama mengingat mereka bersama Spanyol, Jerman, dan Jepang yang sedang berkembang. Kemenangan terakhir atas Uzbekistan dalam pertandingan persahabatan pra-turnamen terakhir mereka tidak menjadi pertanda baik bagi prospek mereka, tetapi mereka memiliki kualitas yang cukup untuk mengajukan pertanyaan kepada tim yang lebih unggul jika mereka tampil baik.

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Kanada

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Selain kegagalan juara Eropa Italia untuk mencapai turnamen, Kanada adalah kisah kualifikasi Piala Dunia, memuncaki tabel CONCACAF untuk mencapai turnamen global pertama mereka selama 36 tahun.
Sebagai co-host Piala Dunia 2026, itu adalah kompetisi yang mereka yakini dapat membuat gebrakan nyata, tetapi mereka juga tidak bepergian ke Qatar hanya sebagai turis.
Alphonso Davies adalah pemain yang harus dipersiapkan secara menyeluruh oleh Belgia, Kroasia, dan Maroko, dan kemenangan pertama di Piala Dunia seharusnya tidak melampaui mereka jika bintang Bayern Munich itu tampil maksimal.

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Iran

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Iran hanya melewatkan Piala Dunia sejak 1998, dan kali ini iran akan berada kembali di sana lagi setelah memuncaki grup mereka di babak 3 kualifikasi Asia.
Mereka sudah memenangkan 8 dari 10 pertandingan dan hanya kebobolan 4 gol saja saat mereka melakukan pekerjaan yang relatif mudah untuk mendapatkan tempat di Qatar.
Mereka mendukungnya dengan mengalahkan Uruguay dan bermain imbang dengan Senegal dalam pertandingan persahabatan pra-turnamen bulan September, tetapi turnamen mereka dapat dengan mudah dibayangi oleh kerusuhan politik di kampung halaman yang mengancam akan merembes ke tim nasional negara itu.

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Kamerun

Kamerun mendukung posisi ketiga mereka di Piala Afrika dengan kemenangan menakjubkan atas Aljazair di play-off Piala Dunia mereka untuk mengamankan tempat di Qatar.
Meski bukan tim bertabur bintang dari generasi sebelumnya, manajer Rigobert Song tampaknya telah menemukan formula kemenangan di bulan-bulan awal tahun 2022.
Kekalahan baru-baru ini dari Uzbekistan dan Korea Selatan, bagaimanapun, telah menimbulkan keraguan apakah mereka benar-benar dapat menantang Brasil, Swiss, dan Serbia untuk memperebutkan tempat di babak 16 besar.

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Jepang

Untuk Piala Dunia ketujuh berturut-turut, Jepang telah mengamankan tempat di turnamen tersebut, finis kedua di grup terakhir mereka di kualifikasi Asia.
Hadiah mereka, jika Anda bisa menyebutnya begitu, ditempatkan di Grup E bersama Jerman dan Spanyol, serta Kosta Rika, tetapi mereka memiliki potensi serangan yang mengejutkan.
Kemenangan mereka baru-baru ini atas Amerika Serikat dengan sempurna menggambarkan hal itu, dan meskipun hasil imbang mereka sulit, jangan hapus dulu.

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Ghana

Setelah tersingkir di babak penyisihan grup yang memalukan di Piala Afrika, Ghana berhasil bangkit kembali dan mengalahkan rival besar Nigeria di play-off Piala Dunia mereka.
Sekarang, mereka dapat bersiap untuk menghadapi tim lain yang ingin mereka kalahkan di Uruguay, mengingat cara memilukan di mana Black Stars tersingkir dari perempat final 2010.
Sejak kualifikasi, mereka telah menambahkan Inaki Williams dan Tariq Lamptey ke barisan mereka, dan satu lagi lari ke babak sistem gugur tidak melampaui mereka.

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Maroko

Maroko mungkin bukan pilihan pertama setiap penggemar untuk duduk dan menonton selama Piala Dunia, tetapi mereka berpotensi menjadi paket kejutan di Qatar.
Hanya dua kali dalam enam pertandingan kualifikasi terakhir mereka gagal mencetak tiga gol, dan mereka kurang beruntung kalah dari Mesir di perempat final Piala Afrika.
Di Achraf Hakimi, mereka juga bisa dibilang memiliki pemain muda paling menarik di sepak bola Afrika, dan grup yang berisikan Belgia, Kroasia, dan Kanada tidak semenakutkan yang seharusnya, bahkan jika cedera Amine Harit menjelang turnamen sedikit melemahkan mereka.

Ekuador

Setelah selamat dari klaim Chile bahwa mereka harus dikeluarkan dari turnamen karena memainkan pemain yang tidak memenuhi syarat sepanjang kualifikasi, Ekuador akan dapat mengambil tempat mereka di pertandingan pembukaan melawan Qatar pada hari Minggu.
Tim termuda di kualifikasi CONMEBOL, Ekuador dianggap sebagai tim teratas di Amerika Selatan, dan sementara tahun-tahun terbaik mereka tidak diragukan lagi ada di depan mereka, turnamen ini menawarkan beberapa pemain mereka untuk mengumumkan diri mereka di panggung global.
Cedera pada pemain kunci Senegal, Sadio Mane, semakin membantu perjuangan mereka, dan tempat di babak sistem gugur tidak berada di luar jangkauan mereka.

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Korea Selatan

Tanpa diragukan lagi bintang terbesar dari permainan Asia, itu akan sangat memalukan jika cedera rongga mata yang diderita oleh Son Heung-min pada awal November membuatnya absen dari turnamen.
Masih harus dilihat seberapa besar masalah yang menghambatnya, terutama mengingat ukuran topeng yang tampaknya akan dikenakannya di Qatar, tetapi peluang Korea Selatan untuk maju dari grup berada di pundak penyerang Tottenham.
Jika dia fit untuk memikul beban, maka satu tempat di babak sistem gugur adalah tujuan yang realistis.

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Meksiko

Meksiko melawan Argentina mungkin lebih dari tim lain di luar CONCACAF, dan itu jarang berjalan dengan baik untuk El Tri, jadi finis kedua di grup mereka kemungkinan adalah yang terbaik yang bisa mereka harapkan.
Untuk mengamankan itu, mereka kemungkinan harus menghentikan Robert Lewandowski dan Polandia, sambil mencari cara untuk mencetak gol sendiri setelah kampanye kualifikasi yang kekurangan gol.
Harapan mereka untuk melakukan hal itu terpukul oleh cedera pra-turnamen pemain sayap Jesus Corona, sementara Raul Jimenez tidak bermain sejak akhir Agustus, meninggalkan tim Gerard Martino dengan masalah di lini depan untuk diselesaikan

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Amerika Serikat

Kembali ke turnamen untuk pertama kalinya sejak 2014 dan dengan generasi baru pemain muda berbakat, banyak yang berharap Qatar 2022 akan menjadi batu loncatan bagi USMNT untuk benar-benar menantang di kandang sendiri dalam waktu empat tahun.
Namun meski meraih dua trofi selama 18 bulan terakhir, ada beberapa kekhawatiran atas taktik pelatih Gregg Berhalter, serta penampilan pemain bintang Christian Pulisic, saat tim bersiap untuk kick-off di Qatar.
Jadi, meskipun AS tidak termasuk dalam kelompok yang paling mengintimidasi, potensi untuk kembali ke panggung global ini pasti ada.

Peringkat Kekuatan Piala Dunia 2022 Wales

Wales mengamankan penampilan pertama mereka di Piala Dunia sejak 1958 dengan kemenangan atas Ukraina pada bulan Juni, dan menyimpan harapan untuk mencapai babak sistem gugur, seperti yang telah mereka lakukan di dua Kejuaraan Eropa terakhir.
Gareth Bale telah memainkan sepak bola terbaiknya di panggung internasional selama beberapa tahun terakhir, dan akan sangat bersemangat untuk menunjukkan penampilan terakhirnya di turnamen besar.
Pertandingan dendam melawan Inggris di babak grup telah meningkatkan tingkat kegembiraan lebih jauh, bahkan jika tim saat ini tidak setingkat dengan semifinalis Euro 2016.

Serbia

Serbia mengejutkan sepak bola Eropa ketika mereka mengungguli Portugal tepat di detik-detik terakhir kualifikasi UEFA untuk membukukan tempat otomatis di Qatar, dan mereka akan percaya diri untuk menghasilkan lebih banyak kejutan di bulan depan.
Dalam hal babak grup, mengalahkan Brasil akan menjadi pencapaian yang lebih besar daripada mengalahkan Portugal, tetapi di Aleksandar Mitrovic, Dusan Vlahovic, Dusan Tadic dan Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, mereka memiliki senjata menyerang untuk setidaknya menguji Selecao.
Namun pada kenyataannya, mereka akan mengincar untuk mengalahkan Swiss dan Kamerun untuk tempat kedua dalam grup yang tampaknya cukup terbuka di bawah unggulan teratas Selecao.

Senegal

Diharapkan menjadi tim Afrika terkemuka di turnamen setelah memenangkan Piala Bangsa pada awal 2022, peluang Senegal mendapat pukulan besar ketika Sadio Mane cedera dalam pertandingan kedua sebelum jadwal Piala Dunia Bayern Munich.
Ada beberapa harapan tipis bahwa dia masih bisa berperan di Qatar, tetapi harapan itu pupus pada hari Kamis ketika dia akhirnya dikeluarkan dari turnamen.
Mereka masih memiliki beberapa pemain papan atas, termasuk duo Chelsea Kalidou Kouliably dan Edouard Mendy, tetapi diperkirakan ketidakhadiran Mane akan membayangi mereka sepanjang kompetisi.

Swiss

Kualifikasi abadi untuk turnamen besar, Swiss telah melakukannya lagi, dan kali ini menggeser Italia ke tempat otomatis di Qatar setelah memuncaki grup UEFA mereka.
Mereka mendukungnya dengan kemenangan Liga Bangsa-Bangsa atas Spanyol dan Portugal, yang akan memberi mereka manfaat yang baik ketika mereka menghadapi Brasil di Qatar.
Pengalaman Swiss mencapai babak sistem gugur di turnamen besar akan membuat mereka difavoritkan untuk bergabung dengan Brasil di babak 16 besar, tetapi perkembangannya tidak mudah, dengan Serbia dan Kamerun juga berada di grup mereka.

Polandia

Robert Lewandowski bisa dibilang menjadi pemain terbaik di dunia selama tiga tahun terakhir, jadi akan terasa salah jika dia tidak memiliki kesempatan untuk membuktikan dirinya di panggung permainan termegah.
Dia telah menunjukkan sedikit tanda-tanda melambat sejak bergabung dengan Barcelona selama musim panas, dan semua mata akan tertuju pada striker tersebut karena Polandia berusaha untuk menempatkan dua kali berturut-turut tersingkir di fase grup di turnamen besar di belakang mereka.
Waspadai juga, untuk Piotr Zielinkski, yang tampil gemilang untuk Napoli selama awal musim yang luar biasa, dan diharapkan menjadi pemasok utama Lewandowski.

Uruguay

Dalam apa yang terlihat sebagai kumpulan terdalam dari delapan, Uruguay bisa dengan mudah menjadi yang teratas di Grup H karena mereka bisa finis di bawahnya.
Mereka pasti akan diuji oleh tim Ghana yang akan keluar untuk membalas dendam setelah kejenakaan Luis Suarez pada tahun 2010, sementara Portugal dan Korea Selatan sama-sama memiliki penyerang ikonik yang memimpin.
Tetapi jika Suarez dan Darwin Nunez dapat membangun pemahaman di depan sementara gelandang Fede Valverde dan Rodrigo Bentancur menarik tali di belakang mereka, maka juara dua kali bisa menjadi proposisi yang berbahaya.

Portugal

Wawancara mengejutkan Cristiano Ronaldo dengan Piers Morgan menjelang turnamen bisa berjalan dua arah untuk Portugal.
Entah jimat mereka menunggangi gelombang kritik dan memimpin negaranya ke satu-satunya trofi yang hilang dari koleksinya, atau mereka meledak dalam pertempuran sengit yang disebabkan oleh ego Ronaldo.
Terlepas dari itu, kami mengeluarkan popcorn setiap kali Portugal turun ke lapangan di Qatar.

Kroasia

Finalis yang kalah pada 2018, ekspektasi untuk Kroasia di Qatar akan jauh lebih rendah, meskipun mereka masih akan menuju turnamen dengan harapan bisa kompetitif dan berpotensi memenangkan setidaknya satu pertandingan sistem gugur.
Luka Modric terus tampil di level yang sangat tinggi saat ia bersiap untuk Piala Dunia keempat, dan pemain Real Madrid itu akan memimpin skuad yang secara perlahan bertransisi dari ‘Generasi Emas’ yang membawa mereka begitu banyak kesuksesan selama tahun 2010-an.
Serangkaian empat kemenangan beruntun membuat mereka lolos ke final Liga Bangsa-Bangsa, dan mereka perlu melanjutkan performa itu di Qatar, terutama dengan Jerman atau Spanyol kemungkinan akan menunggu mereka jika mereka mencapai babak 16 besar.

Belgia

Dengan ‘Generasi Emas’ mereka yang telah pindah atau memasuki tahap penutupan karir mereka, Belgia menemukan diri mereka dalam fase transisi saat mereka menuju ke Qatar.
Kevin De Bruyne mungkin tetap menjadi gelandang kreatif terbaik di dunia, tetapi dia akan membutuhkan Romelu Lukaku untuk kembali fit dan menembak sebelum babak grup berakhir untuk memastikan dia memiliki finisher yang andal untuk membantu.
Bentrokan prospektif babak 16 besar dengan Spanyol atau Jerman juga terlihat cukup menakutkan, sehingga tersingkir lebih awal mungkin akan terjadi pada tim Roberto Martinez.

Denmark

Ditetapkan untuk disebut sebagai ‘kuda hitam’ oleh hampir semua pakar menuju turnamen, Denmark pasti memiliki apa yang diperlukan untuk mengulangi perjalanan Euro 2020 mereka ke semifinal.
Christian Eriksen kembali dan dalam kondisi bagus, sementara manajer Kasper Hjulmand telah membangun tim yang lebih besar dari jumlah bagian-bagiannya.
Bahwa mereka telah mengalahkan lawan mereka di Grup C Prancis dua kali dalam beberapa bulan terakhir akan memberi mereka kepercayaan diri yang lebih besar, dan Denmark adalah tim yang seimbang dan terorganisir dengan baik yang hanya ingin dihadapi oleh sedikit orang di tahap akhir.

Belanda

Tak terkalahkan dalam 15 pertandingan sejak Louis van Gaal kembali memimpin setelah Euro 2020, Belanda akan memasuki Piala Dunia sebagai salah satu tim terbaik kompetisi tersebut.
Kekuatan utama mereka terletak pada pertahanan yang begitu kokoh sehingga Matthijs de Ligt tidak bisa menembusnya, tetapi mereka juga memiliki daya serang yang kuat, seperti yang terlihat dalam kemenangan tandang 4–1 mereka atas Belgia pada bulan Juni.
Mereka harus keluar dari Grup A di Qatar, dan bisa menjadi kuda hitam untuk melaju jauh melalui babak sistem gugur.

Inggris

Gareth Southgate akan memimpin skuad Three Lions paling berbakat dalam lebih dari satu dekade di Qatar, tetapi pertanyaan sulit sekarang diajukan apakah dia adalah manajer yang tepat untuk mendapatkan yang terbaik dari mereka.
Memang, kampanye Liga Bangsa-Bangsa yang membuat mereka tanpa kemenangan dalam enam pertandingan grup telah menimbulkan keraguan serius atas kemampuan tim ini untuk menjadi lebih baik daripada runner-up mereka di Euro 2020.
Bentuk bisa keluar dari jendela di turnamen besar dan Inggris masih memiliki pemain untuk pergi jauh-jauh, tetapi prestasi yang lebih rendah di panggung terbesar sekarang terlihat jauh lebih mungkin daripada yang terjadi pada awal 2022.

Prancis

Ini bukan tahun 2022 yang membahagiakan bagi juara bertahan, karena Prancis hanya memenangkan satu dari enam pertandingan Liga Bangsa-Bangsa mereka dan nyaris terdegradasi dari kompetisi.
Mungkin yang paling mengkhawatirkan, mereka dikalahkan dua kali oleh Denmark, yang akan mereka temui lagi di fase grup di Qatar.
Faktor cedera Paul Pogba, N’Golo Kante, Presnel Kimpembe dan Christopher Nkunku, serta tanda tanya atas kebugaran Karim Benzema dan sikap Kylian Mbappe, dan semuanya tidak baik untuk tim yang sangat disukai Didier Deschamps.

Spanyol

Spanyol adalah unggulan teratas yang tidak beruntung yang ditarik bersama Jerman dari Pot Dua, menyiapkan pertarungan putaran pembukaan yang luar biasa antara dua favorit pra-turnamen.
La Roja masih harus lolos, tetapi melawan tim Hansi Flick meningkatkan kemungkinan mereka melakukannya sebagai runner-up, yang pada gilirannya dapat menyebabkan pertandingan babak 16 besar yang lebih sulit.
Mereka memang memenangkan grup Nations League mereka menjelang Piala Dunia, dan meskipun ada pertanyaan mengenai apakah mereka memiliki serangan untuk memanfaatkan bakat kreatif mereka di lini tengah, tim Luis Enrique berada dalam kondisi yang layak memasuki Qatar 2022.

Jerman

Jerman mungkin hanya memenangkan dua dari delapan pertandingan mereka pada tahun 2022, tetapi ada tanda-tanda bahwa Hansi Flick sedang membangun tim yang ditakuti di tahun-tahun mendatang.
Jamal Musiala berkembang menjadi salah satu talenta muda terbaik di sepak bola Eropa, sementara mereka memiliki banyak pengalaman seperti Thomas Muller, Manuel Neuer, Ilkay Gundogan, dan Joshua Kimmich.
Telah ditempatkan di grup yang sama dengan Spanyol untuk Piala Dunia, satu-satunya hal yang menahan mereka adalah hasil imbang yang sulit di babak sistem gugur jika mereka tidak dapat mengamankan posisi teratas.

Argentina

Lionel Messi & Co. akan sangat senang dengan hasil undian fase grup bulan April, karena mereka dijadwalkan untuk menghadapi Meksiko, Polandia, dan Arab Saudi. Messi kembali bugar untuk klub dan negara, sementara Scaloni telah memupuk kebersamaan dan semangat dalam skuatnya yang berpotensi membawa mereka ke mana-mana.Bisakah juara Copa America sekarang menaklukkan dunia? Kami tidak akan melupakan mereka.

Brasil

Raphinha,Gabriel Martinelli ,Neymar , Antony, Richarlison, Rodrygo, Gabriel Jesus and Vinicius Junior . Masukkan pencetak gol terbanyak Copa Libertadores Pedro, dan itu adalah grup penyerang yang harus dipilih bos Brasil Tite di Qatar. Lini depan itu adalah alasan utama mengapa Selecao difavoritkan untuk mengangkat trofi pada tahun 2022, tetapi mereka juga memiliki banyak pemain berpengalaman baik di lini pertahanan maupun lini tengah, serta dua kiper terbaik Liga Premier, Alisson dan Ederson, yang bertarung habis-habisan. untuk tempat awal. Brasil telah menjadi favorit untuk Piala Dunia sebelumnya dan tidak memenangkannya, tetapi saat ini, sulit untuk melewati mereka sebagai pemenang akhirnya.

Jadi gw sendiri gk terlalu ikutin berita tentang pembangunan ibu kota baru. Tapi belakangan ini sering nonton channel Not Just Bikes tentang city planning. Menurut gw untuk penerapan city planning di pulau jawa sudah gk ada harapan, walaupun gw pengen banget ada solusi dari city planning ini diterapin untuk memberbaiki dan memperbagus tata kota di pulau jawa.
Jadi gw sekarang berharap untuk city planning ini diimplementasikan keras di ibu kota baru, terutama Transit Oriented Design, ada video bagus yang jelasin ini, untuk kurangin lalu lintas mobil dan promosiin jalan kaki dan public transport. Jadi di post ini gw mau bertanya ke kalian semungkin apa ini bisa diterapin di ibu kota baru, dan bagi yang ikutin berita nya mungkin bisa kasih pencerahan rencana yang udh ada sekarang.
Yang gw maksud implementasi keras itu adalah kalau pengen bikin bangunan baru harus ikutin build code dan standard yang ditetapin, juga peraturan yang ditetapin semoga dibuat dengan bener, karena gw juga liat video pembangunan rumah yang pake kontraktor ataupun DIY, kebanyakn video yang gw tonton orang yang ngelakuinnya itu berpaku ke build codes daerahnya supaya aman dan patuh dengan aturan.

Yauda c.. selama JAKI gak dihapus, ya gak apa-apa. Kalau rakyat gak punya HP atau paket data kan bisa ngadu ke kantor kelurahan. Lebih deket juga daripada ke Balai Kota. Tapi kalau mau ngadu langsung juga gpp. Kemarin juga pada ngadu bisa-bisa aja..
Pengaduan ke kelurahan juga nanti diinput ke sistem CRM-JAKI juga kok. Jadi tetep bisa kepantau dan jadi hukuman juga kalau gak selesai. Laporan ke Balaikota juga akan gitu. Gak usah pusing. Gubernur Heru juga akan bekerja yang terbaik untuk rakyat Jakarta.
Lagian itu kan karyanya anak-anak JSC juga. Udah keren-keren masa ditinggalin gitu aja. Pasti lah akan tetep dipake. Ya kalau ada arahan-arahan tertentu mah gpp lah, selama sistemnya tetep berjalan dengan baik.
Jangan kayak anak magang yang semua salah semua benar. Gak bagus itu untuk pendidikan politik dan demokrasi. Contoh buruk itu. Bagus bilang bagus, jelek bilang jelek.
Kemarin Jakarta Banjir 80 RT dari 30.000 RT, terus nanti pas Gub Heru Jakarta 0 RT yang banjir. Kan syukur alhamdulillah. Berarti Pak Gub Heru hebat. Udah gitu aja simpel hidupnya, bisa main FIFA lagi..

Minoxidil

Notes: Minoxidil will dry skin out as it is alcohol based. Moisturizer is needed, see: Hyaluronic Acid [HA]
​
2016: Minoxidil 3% lotion is effective and safe for beard enhancement.
Source: https://limmerhtc.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/jde13312.pdf
​
Minoxidil stimulates hair growth by increasing the growth phase cycle [anagen], shortening the resting phase [telogen], and increasing the blood flow to the hair follicle.
Source: https://www.webmd.com/connect-to-care/hair-loss/dht-blocking-treatments-to-know-about
​
Minoxidil promotes growth by causing hair in the telogen phase to enter anagen, these being part of the hair cycle. As well, minoxidil opens potassium channels, which allows additional nutrients to reach the follicle.

Dermaroller

Notes:

• Dermarolling is a type of Microneedling.
• Main purpose of dermarolling is the creation of collagen.
  • For other collagen creators, see: Low-Level Laser Therapy [LLLT], Tretinoin (Vitamin A), Vitamin C

​
2013: Dermaroller along with minoxidil treated group was statistically superior to minoxidil treated group in promoting hair growth in men with AGA [Androgenetic Alopecia] for all 3 primary efficacy measures of hair growth. Microneedling is a safe and a promising tool in hair stimulation and also is useful to treat hair loss refractory to minoxidil therapy.

​
Dermaroller Length
2011: Most newly built elastin fibers could be noted just subepidermally at a depth of 0.6 mm. There were no changes to be seen deeper than 0.6 mm or in the epidermis itself. The [dermaroller] would be penetrating approximately 1 mm in depth, so its effect is well correlated to that.
Source: https://journals.lww.com/plasreconsurg/Fulltext/2011/06000/A_Prospective_Controlled_Assessment_of.72.aspx
​
2012: An interesting fact is that the new collagen formation is deposited from a depth of 0.6 mm upwards and towards the basal membrane, in most cases when [dermaroller] with a length of 1.5 mm are used.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3921236/
​
2008: Biopsies revealed new collagen to a depth of 0.6 mm. Even though 2.0 mm [dermarollers] were used, no new collagen fibers could be found in the sub dermal layer illustrating no benefit to using longer, more invasive [dermarollers].

​
Prominent South African surgeon Dr Des Fernandes pioneered much of the work on [dermarollers] and in 1996 he used a 3 mm [dermaroller]. Treatments were painful and required IV sedation and analgesia. Further studies [in 2008] by Dr Fernandes and Dr Aust in Germany concluded that similar results could be obtained using a 1 mm [dermaroller].

​
2013: Lademann’s group explored the potential to deliver vaccines by topical application of microparticles that penetrate into the hair follicles. The infundibulum within the hair follicle (400-600 μm deep [.4 mm to .6 mm]) is lined with a particularly dense network of dendridic cells making it the most immunologically active region, therefore this was specifically targeted for delivery. As they had previously demonstrated that particles of different sizes penetrate follicles to different depths, the vaccine carriers were of 1 mm diameter to target the infundibulum. They showed that their 1 mm silicon dioxide microparticles efficiently penetrated the hair follicles to deliver vaccine constituents to dendridic cells in the infundibulum within 1 hour of topical application. They also showed that particles remained as a depot within the follicle for up to 10 days contrasting with particles on the stratum corneum [most outward layer of skin] that were rapidly removed after about 1 day. Follicular delivery of vaccine carried on microparticles provides another potential approach to target the body’s largest immune organ.

​
I used a .5 mm dermaroller for over a year. After using .75 for a few months I saw an uptick in new vellus hairs. Will now start using 1 mm based on the above and my own experience.
​
Dermaroller Frequency
Understanding the predictable phases of wound healing dictates optimum timing for [Dermarolling] to obtain greatest success. Prolonging the inflammatory phase (day 1-5) will result in more growth factors. Photomodulation and lymph drainage are valuable from day 2-14 and then cosmetic rolling combined with Sonophoresis and micro-current are beneficial to assist maximum delivery of nutrients to cells. Collagenase peaks at around day 14 to reorganize collagen fibrils, converting collagen III to collagen I and it therefore makes no sense to reinjure the skin more frequently than every 30 days.

​

• 0.5 mm - use 1 time a week [shortest length that creates collagen]
• 0.75 mm - use every 2 weeks
• 1 mm - use every 4 weeks
• 1.5 mm - use every 5 weeks

Source: https://dermarolleronlinestore.co.za/size-benefits-info/?v=e4dd286dc7d7
The above frequencies are similar to those by Koi-Beauty where I buy my dermarollers. Though I dermaroll twice as frequently than the above recommended.
​
Dermaroller Maximizers
Collagen synthesis requires:

• Vitamin A (e.g. Retinyl Palmitate, Retinyl Acetate, Retinol or Tretinoin)
• Vitamin C (e.g. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, L-Ascorbic Acid)
• key amino acids (proline & glycine)
• bioflavonoids
• growth factors [essentially stem cells, hundreds of dollars]
  • Although several studies indicate that topically applied growth factors and cytokines have been clinically shown to promote skin rejuvenation, their large molecular size (generally >15,000 Da) limits their ability to penetrate the tightly packed stratum corneum [most outward layer of skin].

​
Dermaroller Science
2016: Microneedling leads to reorganization of old collagen fibres and laying down of new collagen, elastin, and capillaries leading to the effect of skin tightening. A significant increase in level of collagen type I, III, and VII, newly synthesized collagen and tropoelastin from baseline was observed after 6 microneedling sessions at 2-week intervals. This percutaneous collagen induction leads to an overall youthful appearance of the skin by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, reducing pore size, more suppleness, and elasticity.
The needles also breakdown the old hardened scar strands and allow it to revascularize. Neovascularization and neocollagenesis is initiated by migration and proliferation of fibroblasts and laying down of intercellular matrix. A fibronectin matrix forms after 5 days of injury that determines the deposition of collagen resulting in skin tightening persisting for 5–7 years in the form of collagen III. The depth of neocollagenesis has been found to be 5–600 µm [.5–.6 mm] with a 1.5 mm length needle. Histological examination of the skin treated with 4 microneedling sessions 1 month apart shows upto 400% increase in collagen and elastin deposition at 6 months postoperatively, with a thickened stratum spinosum and normal rete ridges at 1 year postoperatively. Collagen fibre bundles appear to have a normal lattice pattern rather than parallel bundles as in scar tissue.

Low-Level Laser Therapy [LLLT]

2013: LLLT was discovered serendipitously in the 1960s when mice irradiated with a low fluence red laser grew hair. Animal and human data have slowly accumulated supporting LLLT for hair growth. LLLT appears to improve a variety of non-scarring alopecias—AGA [Androgenetic Alopecia], AA [Alopecia Areata], and chemotherapy-induced alopecia. Based on the studies demonstrating LLLT's effects on promoting graft survival, it may be further suggested to have a potential to be used during the immediate period of post-hair transplant surgery to facilitate the healing process and enhance viability and earlier growth of the grafts. While mechanisms are still emerging, LLLT may increase anagen hairs through release of NO [Nitric Oxide] from CCO [cytochrome c oxidase] by photodissociation and LLLT may reduce inflammation in AA. Most studies investigating effects of LLLT on hair growth have used wavelengths that range from 635 nm to 650 nm, but as of today no study has compared the effect of near-infrared wavelengths such as 810 nm, which have deeper penetrating capacities, to red light.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3944668/
​
2013: LLLT aids skin rejuvenation through increasing collagen production and decreasing collagen degradation. LED which is a novel light source for non-thermal, non-ablative skin rejuvenation has been shown to be effective for improving wrinkles and skin laxity. It is not a new phenomenon since the first reports of LLLT effects on increased collagen go back to 1987. Studies by Abergel et al. and Yu et al. reported an increase in production of pro-collagen, collagen, basic fibroblast growth factors (bFGF) and proliferation of fibroblasts after exposure to low-energy laser irradiation in vitro and in vivo animal models. Furthermore, LLLT was already known to increase microcirculation, vascular perfusion in the skin, alter platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor (TGF-β1) and inhibit apoptosis.

LLLT Use
My LLLT wand/stick is to be used once every two days. Session lasts about 10 minutes.
​

Tretinoin [Vitamin A]

Notes:

• Retinoids are a class of chemical compounds that are vitamers of vitamin A. Vitamin A boosts Collagen.
  • Retinoic Acid is stronger than Retinal. Retinoic Acid is the strongest vitamin A derivative.
    • Retinal is stronger than Retinol.
• Tretinoin is a Retinoic Acid
  • Normally used to deal with: long-term sun aging and wrinkles

​
2007: The efficacy and safety of combined 5% minoxidil and .01% tretinoin once-daily therapy appear to be equivalent to those of conventional 5% minoxidil twice-daily therapy for the treatment of AGA [Androgenetic Alopecia].
Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17902730/
​
1986: Tretinoin was shown to stimulate some hair regrowth in approximately 58% of the subjects studied.
Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3771854/
​
2000: Type I procollagen and type III procollagen are reduced in chronically photodamaged human skin, not recently exposed to UV. Treatment of such photodamaged skin with all-trans retinoic acid increases type I procollagen expression. The mechanism of this increase is not known, however, it may involve increased expression or activation of TGF-β. In addition, treatment of skin with all-trans retinoic acid before UV exposure inhibits collagen breakdown by matrix metalloproteinases and protects against UV-induced reduction of procollagen expression, as demonstrated in this study. Therefore, all-trans retinoic acid and its metabolic precursor all-trans retinol (vitamin A) should have the capacity to both repair existing photodamage and retard accumulation of new photodamage.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC381286/
​
Tretinoin Prescription
To get tretinoin you need to have a doctor’s prescription–in USA. A way to do this is to say that it is for Actinic Keratosis.
2011: Actinic keratosis is the third most common skin complaint treated by dermatologists in the US and, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, 60% of predisposed individuals over the age of 40 years have at least one lesion. They occur most frequently on sun-exposed skin of the face, scalp, arms, and hands. Important risk factors include fair skin, cumulative sun exposure, and immunosuppression, including further ultraviolet light exposure. Actinic keratosis is now considered to be the beginning of a biologic continuum that leads to invasive squamous cell carcinoma, thus treatment is medically necessary.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3132090/
​
Actinic keratoses describes lesions caused by too much exposure to the ultraviolet rays of sunlight. They are the beginnings of skin cancer, most often appearing after age 40. In some areas where climate is mild year-round, these lesions appear in much younger people. People with fair skin, blond or red hair, and blue or green eyes are most at risk of developing these rough, scaly patches, or keratoses.
Source: https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/understanding-actinic-keratosis-basics
​
Tretinoin Use
I am supposed to use my tretinoin every evening–so I assume all are to be used daily–but the study used .01%, I was given .1%. The skin cell cycle is 28 days, if I don't use my tretinoin for even half that, 2 days after the first application I am peeling all over; it looks terrible.
​
Retinoids
Topical retinoids are still considered the gold standard for clinically effective topical antiaging products . Retinoids are a family of compounds composed of vitamin A, its derivatives, and synthetic molecules acting through the same pathway. Besides all-trans retinoic acid (RA), the major bioactive form, the term “retinoids” includes retinaldehyde, retinol, and various retinyl esters. They act through retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs), increasing the amount of type I procollagens and decreasing the amount of MMPs. RA increases the amount of type I, III, and VII collagens in the dermis, and can reorganize the dermal collagen into new woven bundles. In addition, RA stimulates normalization of the elastic tissue organization and GAG deposition in the dermis. In clinical trials, topical retinoids are clinically effective for the treatment of dermal aging, including wrinkles, roughness, and laxity. However, they can be irritating to a significant percentage of the population, and further development of ways to reduce their irritation potential is needed. Retinol, which metabolizes to retinaldehyde and retinoic acid, has been found to be less irritating than retinoic acid and is widely used as an ingredient for antiaging cosmeceuticals.

​

Vitamin C

Note: Vitamin C’s purest form is L-ascorbic acid.
​
2017: The following information is available as a result of research into the role of vitamin C in skin health:

• Skin fibroblasts have an absolute dependence on vitamin C for the synthesis of collagen, and for the regulation of the collagen/elastin balance in the dermis. There is ample in vitro data with cultured cells demonstrating this dependency. In addition, vitamin C supplementation of animals has shown improved collagen synthesis in vivo.
• Skin keratinocytes have the capacity to accumulate high concentrations of vitamin C, and this in association with vitamin E affords protection against UV irradiation. This information is available from in vitro studies with cultured cells, with supportive information from animal and human studies.
• Analysis of keratinocytes in culture has shown that vitamin C influences gene expression of antioxidant enzymes, the organisation and accumulation of phospholipids, and promotes the formation of the stratum corneum [most outward layer of skin] and the differentiation of the epithelium in general.
• Signs of aging in human skin can be ameliorated through the provision of vitamin C. A number of studies support this, although measurement of skin changes is difficult. Some studies include objective measures of collagen deposition and wrinkle depth.
• The provision of vitamin C to the skin greatly assists wound healing and minimises raised scar formation. This has been demonstrated in numerous clinical studies in humans and animals.

Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5579659/
​
2012: L-ascorbic acid can be used orally and topically for skin benefits. Vitamin C is a cofactor for lysyl and prolyl hydroxylase, which stabilize the triple helical structure of collagen. It also plays a role in cholesterol synthesis, iron absorption and increases the bioavailability of selenium. The most commonly described cutaneous manifestations accompanying vitamin C deficiency are attributed to the impaired collagen synthesis.
Furthermore, oral administration of an antioxidant mixture containing vitamin C, vitamin E, pycnogenol and evening primrose oil significantly inhibited wrinkle formation caused by chronic UVB irradiation through significant inhibition of UVB-induced matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity accompanied by enhancement of collagen synthesis on hairless mouse skin.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3583891/
​
Vitamin C Use
2001: L-ascorbic acid must be formulated at pH levels less than 3.5 to enter the skin. Maximal concentration for optimal percutaneous absorption was 20%. Tissue levels were saturated after three daily applications; the half-life of tissue disappearance was about 4 days. Derivatives of ascorbic acid including magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl-6-palmitate, and dehydroascorbic acid did not increase skin levels of L-ascorbic acid.
Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11207686/
The above says that vitamin C’s low pH may irritate your skin. So only use it a few days before a dermarolling session, it only takes 3 daily applications of 20% vitamin C to saturate the skin.
​

Hyaluronic Acid [HA]

Notes: HA can be bought as a lotion.
​
Findings [from 1999] indicated that suppression of transcriptional activity of type VI collagen is associated with the reduction of cartilage matrix tissue, and that HA is associated with the suppression of the effect of IL-1β.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6603175/
​
That sentence is hard to understand. It says that HA suppresses the effect of IL-1β, which is good because IL-1β suppresses transcriptional activity of type VI collagen, which in effect reduces the cartilage matrix tissue.
2011: A major component of the extracellular matrix is [HA] or hyaluronan. HA is a naturally occurring anionic polysaccharide most abundantly present in mammalian skin where it is localized not only in the dermis (≈0.5mg/g wet tissue), but also in the epidermis (≈0.1mg/g wet tissue). Due to its considerable capacity to bind water, HA has greater skin hydration properties than other polysaccharides. Topical application of HA increases hydration of the [stratum corneum⁠—most outward layer of skin] largely through a humectant effect.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3050617/
​
2018: [HA] is a naturally occurring biopolymer in bacteria and vertebras. HA is a highly hydrophilic molecule with the ability to bind water up to a 1000 times its own weight.
The turnover rate of HA in vivo depends on where the HA is located. The half time of HA in the circulation system is approximaty 2-5 minutes while the half time in more rigid tissue, such as cartilage, is 1-3 weeks. Almost half of all HA is located in the skin, where the half time of HA in the epidermis layer is 1-2 days.
Source: https://liu.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1303721/FULLTEXT01.pdf
​
2017: Several in vitro and in vivo studies have shown the beneficial actions of HA treatment, with anti-inflammatory, wound healing, chondroprotective, antiangiogenic, anti-ageing and immunosuppressive effects, among others.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6403654/
​
2014: The wound healing process can be organized into three main events, and each event involves HA:

• (1) a matrix rich in HA is laid down in a cell-poor space,
• (2) mesenchymal cell migration is stimulated and the HA matrix is infiltrated by cells migrating from the adjacent tissues, and
• (3) cells within the HA matrix secrete both hyaluronidase, which degrades the HA, and sulfated GAGs [glycosaminoglycan] and collagen, which [simultaneously] replaces the HA and the matrix is remodeled.

Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6603175/
​
Aggrecan, biglycan, fibronectin, and HA significantly stimulated cell proliferation in DP [dermal papilla] cell monolayer culture without any effect on DP [dermal papilla] cell identity. Most of ECM [extracellular matrix] compounds prevented the formation of cell aggregates while HA promoted the formation of larger organoids.

HA Use
I always use my HA after I dermaroll. Sometimes I use it to moisturize, other times I just use normal lotion.
​

Additives to Things I Currently Use

​

Peppermint Oil [PEO]

2014: PEO induced significantly high ALP [alkaline phosphatase] activity at week 2, even greater than MXD [Minoxidil]. This study demonstrates that PEO stimulates both dermal papilla and ALP activity, which promotes blood circulation by relaxing vascular smooth muscle.
PEO showed remarkably increased IGF-1 [insulin-like growth factor-1] mRNA expression at week 2, whereas MXD at week 4.
3% PEO facilitates hair growth by promoting the conservation of vascularization of hair dermal papilla, which may contribute to the induction of early anagen stage.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4289931/
​
I personally dilute PEO to 5% as opposed to the 3% in the study. Be weary of putting in too much PEO, it can and will make you cry, and that's if it doesn't burn.
​

L-carnitine L-tartrate [LCLT]

2007 - Our findings suggest that l-carnitine stimulates human scalp hair growth by up regulation of proliferation and down regulation of apoptosis in follicular keratinocytes in vitro.
Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17927577/
​
1993: Carnitine also acts on the sensory organs … suggesting a direct effect of palmitoyl-DL-carnitine on cochlear hair cells.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2266057/
​
You should use pure L-carnitine L-tartrate [LCLT] powder, never use Acetyl-L-Carnitine. Dilute to 2% of the carrier’s substance. I have no idea where this 2% comes from (it’s from reddit’s minoxbeards, but I mean science-wise), I have been unable to find any study behind it–Please share if you find a study about diluting LCLT to 2%!
​

Creatine

2009: Creatine supplementation may, in part, act through an increased rate of conversion of T to DHT.
Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19741313/
​
As with LCLT, I dilute to 2% of the carrier’s substance. I have no idea what the best dilution would be. Please share if you find anything about creatine dilution!

Additional Information

Keratin

Note: Keratin has a high sulfur content.
​
2017- Therefore, we demonstrate the potential hair growth promoting activity of keratin extract (KE) inC57BL/6 mice. Our data suggest that KE is a novel agent that enhances hair growth and that biomedical application of discarded human hair keratin could be used to promote hair follicle regeneration.
In conclusion, our study demonstrated that KE has potential for hair growth promotion by inducing the anagen phase in telogenic mice. [KE] demonstrated high bio-compatibility for promoting cellular regeneration. In KE treated mice, we observed an increase in the number, shaft of the follicle, and deep subcutis area,which served as evidence of induction of anagen phase. Taken together, our results suggest that KE promotes hair follicles growth by inducing anagen phase and might be a new and promising source of biomaterial for hair growth.

​
So Keratin accomplishes the same thing as Minoxidil, it causes telogen to anagen. I will start using Keratin soon, open ideas for how to use!

Collagen

2021: In the meta-analysis, a grouped analysis of studies showed favorable results of hydrolyzed collagen supplementation compared with placebo in terms of skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkles. The findings of improved hydration and elasticity were also confirmed in the subgroup meta-analysis. Based on results, ingestion of hydrolyzed collagen for 90 days is effective in reducing skin aging, as it reduces wrinkles and improves skin elasticity and hydration.
Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33742704/
​
2020: In this systematic review, three different mechanisms of action were clarified for the intervention. Direct effects of collagen peptides on fibroblasts, M2-like macrophages, and oral tolerance-related mechanisms are the possible mechanisms for the beneficial effects of collagen supplementation.

DHT [Dihydrotestosterone]

The hair on the head grows without the presence of DHT, but armpit hair, pubic hair, and beard hair cannot grow without androgens.
Source: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/68082#effects
DHT is BAD for scalp hair. DHT is GOOD for beard hair.
​
DHT is an androgen hormone and can be directly associated with beard hair. Testosterone converts to DHT. A DHT blocker inhibits the conversion of testosterone to DHT. As such, DHT blockers are bad for beard hair. Topical DHT blockers are not nearly as potent as oral (prescription) blockers and pose less risk of some beard hair thinning. Because there is still risk, however, it is always advised to stay away from potential DHT blockers.
​
DHT Blockers
Fatty acids lauric, oleic and linoleic acid, have been proven through scientific studies to inhibit the production of DHT.
The following source contains a list of 45+ DHT inhibitors. Though the main ones are Lavender, Rosemary, and Tea Tree.
Source: https://beardology.org/dhtblockers/
​
Rosemary
2013: These results suggest that [Rosemary] inhibits the binding of dihydrotestosterone [DHT] to androgen receptors.
Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22517595/
​
2015: Both groups [Rosemary and Minoxidil] experienced a significant increase in hair count at the 6-month endpoint compared with the baseline and 3-month endpoint.
Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25842469/
So use Rosemary on the scalp, but not on the beard.
​
Tea Tree
2012: Group T received oil spray containing Lavender and Tea tree oils. A statistically significant decrease of hair diameter was found in group T; in group T percentual reduction of hair diameter was significantly greater.
Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23211454/
​
2013: [tea tree oil eliminates] bacterial and fungal organisms that could modify androgen metabolism and lead to hair fall.
[tea tree oil kills] any existing microbial or fungal colonization of the hair follicles.
tea tree oil was used on the basis that it is a highly effective natural anti-infective agent.
biotinSource: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3686323/
​
1998: This study was conducted to determine the activity of tea-tree oil against 58 clinical isolates. Tea-tree oil showed inhibitory activity against all isolates tested except one strain. These in vitro results suggest that tea-tree oil may be useful in the treatment of yeast and fungal mucosal and skin infections.
Source: https://japmaonline.org/view/journals/apms/88/10/87507315-88-10-489.xml
Essentially Tea Tree oil just kills everything, including hair.
​
Lavender
Note: Lavender is an antibacterial and antifungal like Tea Tree.
​
2016: These results indicated that LO [Lavender Oil] has a marked hair growth-promoting effect, as observed morphologically and histologically.
LO maintains the anagen phase and delays the transition to the catagen phase.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4843973/
​
The 2016 study and 2012 Tea Tree study make me think that Lavender’s effect on hair needs to be studied further, as currently there is contradictory information. Please share if you find any research about Lavender’s effects on hair!
​

Vitamin / Supplements

​
Biotin / Iron / Zinc / B12 / Amino Acids
​
2017: Despite its popularity in the media and amongst consumers, biotin has no proven efficacy in hair and nail growth of healthy individuals.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5582478/
​
2018: Biotin deficiency causes hair loss, but there are no evidence-based data that supplementing biotin promotes hair growth.
Iron supplementation [...] reversed the iron deficiency and induced hair growth.
Alopecia is a well-known sign of established zinc deficiency with hair regrowth occurring with zinc supplementation.
The reduction in vitamin B12 levels had no adverse effects on hair shedding or hair growth.
The possible impact of amino acids on hair growth has yet to be elucidated.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6380979/
​
2016: The fact is that unless hair loss is due to a specific nutritional deficiency, there is only so much that nutritional therapies can do to enhance hair growth and quality. In general, malnutrition is due to one or more of following factors: Inadequate food intake, illness that causes increased nutrient requirements, increased nutrient loss, poor nutrient absorption, or combination of these factors.
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4989391/
​
The above 3 studies say that unless someone is malnourished or deficient in nutrients, adding more vitamins(biotin)/minerals wouldn't have an effect. I have seen no evidence that extra vitamins(biotin)/minerals will do anything for hair growth–Please share if you find any research about extra nutrients causing hair growth!
​

Phases of Hair Growth

Anagen→Catagen→Telogen
Anagen phase: Growth—2 to 6 years of growing, starts when a hair follicle forms a new hair shaft. Most (90%) of the hair on a scalp is in a growing phase
Catagen phase: Transition—1 to 2 week transition stage between anagen and telogen. Less than 1% of scalp hair is in this phase.
Telogen phase: Rest—3- to 4-month phase, some hair falls out. When a hair falls out, a new hair is grown in the same hair follicle, and the growing cycle begins again. Accounts for 6% to 8% of hair.

Epilogue

Thanks for reading! I hope I was able to help in any way, whether by introducing new beard growth methods or citing studies behind the ingredients/methods.
​
I greatly appreciate the MinoxBeards subreddit. Thank you to this community for introducing all of this to me and providing education while I started my journey. The MinoxBeards FAQ is a great resource, but none of the following is in the FAQ–though they are in this post:

• Low-Level Laser Therapy [LLLT]
• Tretinoin or other Vitamin A derivatives
• Vitamin C
• Creatine
• Keratin
• Hyaluronic Acid [HA]
  • Nivea Soft is mentioned multiple times (without any reasoning to its hydration strength). I’m sure it’s good, but is Hyaluronic Acid better? Probably.
• Peppermint Oil [PEO]
  • Though the acronym PEO is once written–in LCLT section–but with no context or explanation what it is.

​
I humbly implore the mods to please input into the MinoxBeards FAQ:

• at least those sections above that are completely missing from the FAQ,
• at most everything that is backed up by research.
  • My count is ~35 unique studies in this post.

I am willing to help integrate the above information with the FAQ, please just allow me.
