I was given it for Christmas. Its a beard growing gel by copenhagen grooming. I looked at all of their reviews and i can’t see any mention of any side effects. No one seems to have reported any.

I’m going to guess at how that might work and then guess that this is not the product for members of this forum to use.

The ingredient list u mentioned seems fine to me, idk, i am really skeptical of using any cosmetic product, i am even skeptical about whether i should use a sunscreen or not. The bathing soap i used few months back used to give me brain fog for an hour.

Probably a safe assumption. I was going to just give it to a relative but i don’t of course want to cause them any potential harm. From what their site says…
“Biotin and Capilia Longa. Micro-needling will help these get deeply absorbed in the follicles and optimize the boost of new hair growth”
I imagine it might be ok for a non PFS patient i suppose?

I suspect you’re right that it’s probably fine for someone who hasn’t had the kinds of problems we’ve had, BUT also worth noting that people who are related have had the same problems around here (though some have not), so it’s difficult to say.

For the sake of (what I assume is an inexpensive) gift, I’d probably err on the side of caution.

Boring answer, I know
