Should I try 10% minox?

QUESTION: Been using 5% Minoxidil for over… TWO YEARS now & although I've seen Evident New hair growth along with vellus hair all-over my face, The RATE of gainz has been TERRIBLY slow in comparison to some progress photos that I'm seeing here…

Routine/protocol: 5% Minoxidil (Liquid), Once a Day (twice if I'm working from home)

• I've tried Foam & Gel forms & settled for he liquid for its ease of use & stuff…
• I also try to Micro needle, every 2 -3 weeks or so & trying to do that consistently every week
• I've also tried Castor oil, orally administered, 1-2 Tablespoons for ~8 months or so. (I did notice some darkening of the beard hair while I was using Castor oil orally but it might be placebo…) (I've since stopped using Castor oil since the Gag Reflex I get due to its taste & I'm gonna invest in a 10-15ml Dropper as a remedy for this issue)

SHOULD I TRY 10% Minoxidil? Has anyone tried this, if so, kundly share your experience. I'm open to all suggestions & criticism.
