Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Maxx Beard -#1 Beard Growth Solution, Natural Solution for Maximum Beard Volume-2 Month Supply

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2016

Ok, so after looking around for solutions for my patchy whiskers, I came across this. It seemed like most of the reviews here were from people who got the product for free. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I felt like I should give my opinion because I had to pay for the product.

It is a bit pricey, and i thought it was probably the placebo effect that reviewers were noticing new growth. Additionally, I know that beard hair tends to grow in 6 week cycles, and not all of the hairs are on the same cycle, so I thought that the 6 week time frame on the bottle was an excuse to force people to try growing a beard longer than they usually would. Even so, I decided to try one bottle.

To test my theory about the 6 week cycle, I have not been trying to grow a beard while I use this product. I have been shaving regularly like I normally do. Before I started using this, I had very slight hairs at my mustache, chin, and sideburns, and only one or two very small patches of hair on my cheeks. Everything else was completely smooth.

I use the product every morning. I found it nearly impossible to spread with the eyedropper, so what I do is empty half the dropper in my left palm, and then use my right pointer finger to pick it up and spread it across one half of my face where a beard should be. Then, I repeat for the other half of my face.

The scent is basically that of rubbing alcohol, nothing that bothers me. It is also interesting that I can feel something happening for the first 30 minutes that it is on my face. It is sort of tingly.

I am currently 1/4 of the way through the bottle, and I can't believe it, but I do see noticeable new growth. After using the quarter bottle, if I don't shave for a day I can see a mustache shadow forming where there used to be none. Additionally, the two very small patches on my cheeks went from being the size of half of a dime, to connecting to each other and being the size of approximately a half dollar!

Do I have a full glorious beard in a month? No, but I was not really expecting that. The fact that I have seen growth speed up at all is pretty awesome, so I am happy. I am going to continue to use this bottle, and when it is finished, I will update my review.

Sorry for the long review, but this product deserves a thorough review!

I will start this review by saying I spent countless hours researching beard products that had promising results and high ratings. As a man who sports a full beard year round, I'm constantly looking at ways to improve my facial hair. I have purchased and been less than impressed with the outcome of many of the products I have spent my hard earned money on, most of them costing between $25-$40 bucks. Pills, oils, combs, shampoos, conditioners...you get it!

Growing a beard has never been my issue, but I am some what if a perfectionist and found myself wanting the thickest, fullest beard imaginable, a beard that would make Paul Bunyan envious. I had two areas in my beard that were probably not noticeable to others but I considered troubled area. One area was on the right side under my lip and the other my right sideburn near my temple. The hair would grow, but it was never as full, when my beard was trimmed down skin would be more visible than in other areas of my beard making me feel self conscious, and causing me to hyper focus on those two areas.

The other reviews of this product stated, that with this product, over the course of approximately 6 weeks you would see a change in growth, with more hairs sprouting and a fuller overall beard. I started to apply this product to my two aforementioned areas back in August. I won't lie, I wasn't expecting much, but figured hey, what do I have to lose. The product is easy to apply, and I found myself adding it to my nightly regiment. After about 4 weeks, I am happy to say I
started to notice the skin in those two areas was less visible. Now after about 2 months of use, this product continues to do nothing less than impress me. My beard is fuller, I have less beard itch, and my beard hair feels stronger and less brittle.

If you are considering this product, it is not a gimmick. It will take a little time and dedication on your behalf...but in my opinion you will be nothing less than impressed. Grow away

I took the bottle for 2 whole months, although slow, there is definitely improvement over the last 2 months. I have purchased a second bottle and will go another 2 months. My plan overall is to go 6 full months of using this stuff. I have taken pictures to showcase the progression. I took pictures at the start (January 10), and near the end (March 12). I will take more photos again around May 10 when I finish another 2 months. I will either post pictures here either in May or July.

-Moving this to the top so it's readable-

So far, my take is: This stuff works; however; it isn't magic.

1. Don't expect results overnight.
--> It takes commitment, time, and patience, as with anything.

2. Don't expect the whole bottle to give you a majestic beard.
--> Just as a 1 container of Protein Powder won't make you look like the Rock, 1 bottle for MaxxBeard won't make you look like Odin.

3. It's not magical beard elixir.
--> If you're a young teen or little kid, a female, or someone with poor diet and/or health, it won't spawn a beard on your face.

ooh wee... 2 months was so long ago!!
Here is a long winded journal of my journey.

Journal:
Week 1:

Well It's been 1 week (7 days of usage). I've been closely monitoring parts of my face for new hairs.

- Cheeks: It looks like new hairs (very few) have started growing, however, it's possible these are growing back (slowly) after my shave/trim I did before starting MaxxBeard.
- Chin area below mouth: it's still bare, and doesn't look like any new hair has grown.
- Middle Mustache doesn't look like much progress, maybe it's just me but it looks like the gap has closed a little.

I will continue to monitor over the next coming weeks for the full 2 months (60 days). Hoping for visible results by Week 2.
Go Vikings! #NOvsMIN

Week 2: 01/23/2018

Well It's been 2 weeks (14 days of usage).
My face is a little shaggy and patchy again as my hair grows back from my trim about 2.5 weeks ago. I am not seeing much progress. I will probably need to trim my beard up again so it's not indecent.

- Cheeks: Still bare other than my patchy uneven sideburns.
- Chin area below mouth: Still bare
- Middle Mustache: Still a gap.

There are still 6 weeks (give or take) left of treatment. My confidence in the product is fading, but there is still hope I will see some results at the end of the 2 month usage.

--
Week 3: 01/30/2018

It's now been 3 weeks (21 days of usage).
I trimmed my beard on the 23rd to make it look more decent and also helps me watch it grow out better. It could be false hope, but it definitely looks like there are both new terminal hairs, and new vellus hairs.

- Cheeks: This is the area I am seeing what looks to be progress.
- Middle Chin area below mouth: Still bare. Looks like a couple new hairs may have grown.
- Middle Mustache: Still a gap.

I am not even 50% of the way of the 2 months. So my optimism is increasing (and keep in mind I am very pessimistic about everything). I got about 5 weeks left of treatment . If this stuff is working, I may end up buying another 2 month supply. I understand 2 month supply =/= guaranteed full beard in 2 months.

--
Week 4: 02/06/2018

It's now been 4 weeks (28 days of usage).
Not seeing many differences since last week. It seems the sides of my chin are getting more hairy and trying to connect to my side burns like a chin strap, but really patchy.

I should now be about 50% done with my 2 months of treatment. I just got a 0.25mm derma roller in addition to my 0.5mm roller, since the 0.5mm shouldn't really be used more than once a week. I will plan on using the 0.25mm on Mondays and Tuesdays, and the 0.5mm on Fridays. The derma roller should theoretically help the absorption of MaxxBeard while also helping produce collagen.

Week 5: 02/13/2018

It's now been 5 weeks (35 days of usage).
I am seeing some of the new hairs maturing or getting longer, but the spawning of new hairs is slow-to-none. The whole process is really slow, but seems to be working over all. I did just start derma rolling and using JBCO last week, so results can potentially start to improve somewhat in the coming weeks.

Although the bottle should last 8 weeks, I'm not sure my bottle will last 3 more weeks, it looks like it's running low. We'll find out soon I guess.

On the bride side of things, President Trump's tax cuts has increased by income by $100 a month ($51 more per checkcheck)

--
Week 6: 02/20/2018

It's now been 6 weeks (42 days of usage).

I trimmed again because I felt like my face was getting out of order. Kinda wish I didn't the small amount I trimmed made my face look fuller.
Growth is still slower than grass, curse my slow hair growing DNA!

Slowly but surely I do believe my chin is starting to fill in, (both the sides and middle), and I am impressed so far with the overall improvement, even if it is a small improvement. At this point, I definitely feel like I'll be doing another 2 month supply of MaxxBeard, though I could still change my mind within the last 2 weeks.

I need my bottle to last at least 2 more weeks to technically qualify as "2-month supply". It's looks like it'll be empty soon, but it might just make it 2 more.

--
Week 7: 02/27/2018

It's now been 7 weeks (49 days of usage).

The vellus hairs on my cheeks are getting longer, and there are quite a few of them. It will be interesting to see them turn into terminal, it will greatly help the overall appearance.

The middle of my chin definitely has a few terminal hairs that are growing out. I'm pretty sure I didn't have a single on when I started this journey.

Maybe it's just me, but my mustache does seem like it is becoming more thick, though the gap in the middle is still there. Probably there to stay.

My MaxxBeard supply looks like it will last one more week, so I am happy I didn't run out too soon.

I will be ordering a second MaxxBeard supply this week. and begin working towards 4 months of usage.

I haven't been 100% faithful in the JBCO and dermaroller treatments, but I will definitely try to get it fully into the regime during the next 2 months. I'm not sure how much help the JBCO is for growth, but it does feel nice going on, and while on, it makes my beard look amazing.

I might post a review on Amazon soon, though I'd rather wait so I can have a better progression picture for before and after.

--
Week 8: 03/06/2018

It's now been 8 weeks (55 days of usage).

The bottle had gotten so low I had trouble measuring it, and eventually got to the point where I had to just pour some it into my hands. I relapse with a second 2 month supply, so everything is good.

Progress was slow, but I am definitely better than I was 2 months ago, my side burns have thickened/widened, and are connecting to my chin a little bit more than before.

I will not be doing weekly journals for my second bottle. (This review is long enough already). I will update maybe once a month, or as needed.

----
Week 10: 03/20/2018 (Bottle #2)

I trimmed down my hairs. I'm not looking as impressive anymore, but it was needed. My face is less shaggy, and I should have an easier time applying the formula to my face and watching for new hairs.

My chin area has dozens of bumps. Can't tell if it's acne, ingrown hair, or both.

-----
Week 14: 04/19/2018

It seems as if new growth has completely stopped. I haven't been paying much attention, but I'm sure nothing is changing. It's possible I have reached my limit with this stuff. My chin is finally starting to clear up. Not sure what that was all about.

I've run out of ZMA and Ashwagandha. I'll get more soon, I just hate spending money.

I am thinking about going down to 3/5 stars for this product since they continue to do shady business.
-------------
06/11/2018 (I don't even know what week I am on anymore)

I took a month off of oiling or using this product. I only shampooed my beard about 3-4 times a week for that period. My beard definitely looks more fuller and healthier than it was at the end of December. My right side is still weaker than my left, which is my only greif right now with my facial hair. During this month off, I let my beard grow as much as possible with no trimming. It got to the point where one person suggested that my beard looked fake. This prompted me to trim it up, and I am back to keeping it neat for now.

I buying my 3rd and final bottle, which means I should complete the journey by mid August.
------------------------------------------
07/05/2018

Well it's been about a month since I got back into it. Believe it or not, I think I am seeing new hairs on my right check. There are 2 spots in particular on my face I am paying most attention to. These are bare spots surrounded by hair, so they really stand out. Hoping this resolve that. If things work out I will upload my progress pictures which start from January and end with August(?). It's weird to think I started over 7 months ago. My next update to this review should be my last, unless something changes.

This product is definitely working, but need to just be consistent and patient!

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2017

I decided to give this one a try. I was thinking about the Rogaine version however some people experienced irritation due to the chemicals and main ingredient, minoxidil. I like that this product as it's using an alternative, kopyrrol, as the main ingredient and so far I have not had any noticeable redness, itchiness or other irritation (I do experience a little sensation, but I attribute that to the sensitivity I get when the liquid dries and tickles my face) but other than that my face has been fine.

The scent can be a little strong, especially if you use in the mustache area around your nose so just be careful. However the scent smells really nice though. I also love the natural ingredients, which was a big push why I chose this brand instead of the Rogaine version.

I've only been using for about a month and I do see that my beard is filling in a little. I have patches on my face so I know that I need to follow through with this for 6-months to a year to see the results. However, on my mustache, it doesn't connect right under my nose area and I am actually now seeing some strong growth (just a few hairs) that are coming out. I do have fuzz in that area, but none of the hairs have even come out like they are now!

I know that it's not much, however it IS significant to me and encourages me to continue using the product.

I'm giving this product 5-stars because of the natural ingredients, the smell, ease of putting on the face (which is just once every night before bedtime) and also because I am noticing some hair growth.

With any regiment like this, it does take time...I've seen reviews from others using the Rogaine version and they offered progressive images showcasing the hair growth and it did take about a full year to see full results...so you just have to be patient AND be consistent!

Good Luck! But I do recommend this product.

*You may want to also use this product along with a beard supplement to maximize the effect.

The only thing worked for me

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2015

I tried more than ten different beard products to try to fill up some patches on my beard without any success. I tried a few natural oils that only soften my beard and make it more manageable. But it does not to help grow any beard in those patches. It was not quite clear what Maxx Beard is for when I stumbled across it. I decided to give it a try largely because the ingredients look solid to me. Different from most other natural products, this product does have clinically proven ingredients like Kopyrrol, Azetinol and Niacin that have been shown to stimulate hair growth. I just finished my first bottle. It lasted about 2.5 months. I do not use one full mL each time because I only need enough to fill in the areas where I want to grow beard. I started to see the patches are filed with little hairs, which are much shorter than other areas. I have never seen this happen with any other products I tried before. This gives me a lot of hope. I know beard grows slowly, especially with the new baby beard. I do notice my regular beard is also growing faster. I am planning to buy two more bottles and hope it will my new beard looks the same as the rest.

For your information, here is my routine. I wash my beard each time before using this product. I then dry my beard using a towel. I use the dropper to take up some liquid from the bottle and use the dropper to deliver the solution where I want to grow beard. I have to squeeze out the solution slowly to avoid solution dripping. I also use the tips of the dropper to spread the liquid. At last I will use my index finger to spread the solution evenly to prevent solution dripping. I do this at night and everything is absorbed when I got up in the morning.

Nothing spectacular, but it does the job... after months of use.

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2016

I have been using this product for about 9 months and I am satisfied with it, but it could be better.

Pros: It is fairly cheap and it works.

Cons: It will take a while to see effects (around 1.5 months for me). It dries your skin and makes the area a little itchy, just annoying, nothing unbearable. You also must apply it every night or at least 6/7 days of the week to see changes in your facial hair. I still have a little bald spot on the middle part of my chin and it is taking very long to fill in but I am seeing little hairs start to sprout there after 9 months. However, oddly enough, the area around the middle is actually growing in quite abundantly. (I have a semi goatee now)

Other areas such as my mustache are doing fairly well. I started to apply some of the product to a bald spot in my hair on my head and am starting to see a minor difference in about a month. Im pretty sure the hormones in your body and the way your natural facial hair grows will have a larger effect on your hair growth as compared to this product, but I guess Maxx beard does help a little.

Beard Growth: The ingredients, odor, itch, and the difference

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2016

Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

When it comes to products for growing beard, there are not so many options. Most of the beard products are meant to moisturize beard to make beard look sleeker or eliminate itchiness.

There are some vitamin based beard growth products that are literally the same as the $5 regular multivitamin one can get from Walmart. I am not so convinced that the vitamins can specifically help grow beard.

I searched online for a long time before I bought Maxx Beard. I found this product is unique as it has great ingredients in it.
Here is the complete list of ingredients I copied word by word from the label: Kopyrrol, Biotin, Niacin, Emu Oil, Saw Palmetto Extract, Argan Oil, AzetinolTM, He Shou Wu, Beta Sitosterol, Red Clover Extract, Nettle Extract, Castor Oil, Citric Acid, Water, Ethanol, Propylene Glycol.

Kopyrrol is the first ingredient in this product. There are quite some clinical studies that showed Kopyrrol stimulates hair follicles and regenerate hairs.
Biotin is one of the most important vitamins that help hair grow faster and fuller.
Niacin is known to help blood flow and provide better nutrients to hair follicles.
I also like the fact that MAXX BEARD has Argan oil and Caster oil that are known to very good for the hair health.

There are also some ingredients that are not so great. Maxx beard has alcohol and propylene glycol. When alcohol is mixed with other ingredients, it will magnify whatever odor the other ingredients have. The good thing is that odor should go away very quickly as alcohol dries very quickly. Based on my own experience of using the product, the odor disappears in less than 1 minute. I personally not too worried about the smell as it goes away so quickly. Even if I use the product in the morning, the smell should be gone by the time I get out of my house.

Propylene glycol may cause skin irritation in a small portion of people. Most people should be fine with it. It is a very common ingredient in many skin care products including shampoo, sun blocker etc. I guess the manufacturer include propylene glycol in this product to help the absorption as it is one of best delivery vesicles. If ingredients can’t be absorbed, they will be useless. Nonetheless, I still hope Maxx beard can find alternative solvent to propylene glycol so this nice product can reach broader customers.

I am half way done with my first bottle (about 5 weeks). I did see significant improvement in the fullness of my beard. My beard is a lot healthier and fuller than before. There is also baby hair in the bald spots I wanted to grow beard. I tried some other products in the past without any success. BTW, I didn’t have any skin irritation. I also kind of like the smell, not sure if it is because it reminds me the smell of whiskey.

I waited about 3 weeks before writing a review on this product . Ill keep it simple . I would have gave this 5 Stars if it wasn’t for the price. This stuff actually works great . There’s probably a lot of people reading this wondering if you don’t have any facial hair at all if it will work . I’m about 90% sure it will , other 10 % I suppose i I have to consider genetics , maybe scare tissue ? Lol I’m not a doctor , or chemist , but I cant say personally I started to use this cause I had some spots on the beard that would NEVER grow any hair , it was annoying , i would obviously shave to accommodate my horrible beard line. 3 weeks and i seen, i can say significant difference . I started to apply this not just for certain spots but then i started to widen the coverage on my face , it will pretty much grow hair anywhere you CONSISTENTLY apply this , Its not magic don’t expect to wake up the next morning and look like Chewbacca , i still have about half left . And i will most likely purchase this again , my only feedback would be to the supplier , its one of the priciest items out there for facial hair growth , I wish they would make it a little more affordable , at the end of the day you get what you pay for .

Helps with softening and growing, and volumizing

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

Hubby and I love this beard oil. It's fragrance free, and it makes his beard nice and soft and tamed. Sometimes his mane gets a little wild and itchy, so we started trying a few different beard oils and this one works great. He also uses beard balm too. The beard oils help more with softening and taming, and with itchiness he gets when he doesn't use it, and beard balm helps more with managing and taming. This one has biotin and other nutrients that makes it especially nourishing and great for your skin as well as facial hair, and it even helps with growth. I'm fine with how his beard looks, but he claims there were areas he wanted to look more full. Whatever he's talking about, he said this has actually seemed to work after a little over a week.

First things first: the goal is to train your beard to be awesome 24/7. After your morning (or 3pm because your Saturday night was that good) shower, apply your Oil/Balm.

- Pour a small amount of beard oil in your palm or snag a dollop of balm with your fingertip.

- Spread it on both palms and between your fingers (there’s that hair gel similarity again).

- Apply evenly throughout your beard and massage into your skin. Don’t forget that second part -- a beard is only as healthy as the skin it sprouts out of!

- Optional Bonus Move: Brush and/or comb for maximum fullness and styling. If you do decide to take this extra step (hint: you totally should take this extra step), brush first to perfectly distribute the oil/balm throughout your beard and follow up with combing to nail that sculpted-by-the-Beard-Gods-shape.

- Practice your “What? This old thing?” delivery before leaving the house so you convincingly emulate someone who isn’t aware his facial hair is the stuff of legend.

I purchased mine at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
