I used minoxidil foam for 5 months. Im only 22. I've noticed that it completely hollowed out my eyes. It looks like I have two dark rings from the corner of my eyes right above my cheekbone, and it seems as if my skin is thinner. I've looked this up and I have what is known as "sunken eyes". I know this isn't natural aging.

I've been off of it for 5 weeks. Haven't noticed a single improvement in this sunken skin. I think this was caused by lying face down in my pillow when sleeping so I think minoxidil came into direct contact with eyes.

Did anyone recover from this sunken eyes look? How long will it take for the skin to replenish. I look awful.

Hey julki,

Are you sure it was the Minoxidil that caused the sunken eyes look? There's no scientific evidence that it can cause sunken looking eyes as a side effect.

If you're having issues with your skin around your eyes, the best and most basic things that you can do to treat this problem is to hydrate yourself with more water, and apply 100% pure organic argan oil to the effected areas.

I hope your skin gets better! :)

I haven't changed my lifestyle at all. I workout, eat well, sleep enough, and I'm not stressed. The only thing that I did add is the minoxidil. The upper part of my cheekbone is really puffy compared to normal.
