A-Ret Tretinoin?

Hi everyone.
I'm in what you could describe as the 'early stages' of hair loss. I'm 41 and noticing some hair thinning from the middle. This has been the case for maybe a couple of years now. I never imagined myself dealing with this! haha. I use Tretinoin for acne scarring and there are some sources out there that state using this can actually sometimes regrow hair, often combined with something else.

I was not allowed to post the link, but on the web site omesbeautymart, for example, they mention hair regrowth in the description of the Tretinoin by saying
"Menarini Tretinoin Gel (20g) USP is a form of vitamin A. When applied on scalp, it works by promoting the growth of hair follicles, thereby stimulating hair growth."

What's odd, is I don't purchase from this site, but another, and emailed them and asked and they said it had THE OPPOSITE effect in that it caused hair loss. I guess I am confused. Has anyone used something like this or experimented with it? I've read studies that list Tretinoin by name but they don't really specify a brand, strength, or even how it is applied. If I have it for other purposes and it might work, I figured I'd be open to try! :)

Could it work? possibly? one of those experimental drugs. If your in the early stages then minoxidil an finasteride is the way to go.
