Is There Anything Than Can Promote Facial Hair Growth?

I'm 23 about to turn 24, and I have a baby face which I can't stand. I do not look my age, and I probably look 5 or 6 years younger. I always get those baby face comments which I'm tired of. I really can't grow any facial hair, and if I do, after a week, I look all scruffy. Meaning, I can't grow a goatee, or even a beard which would really make me feel better about myself. Is there anything than can help me grow facial hair?

Looking too young, need more facial hair?

Don't be so quick to look older. Early in my career, I was getting a lot of the same comments because of a 'baby face', but as I am now 56, many who are my age want to have my ageless secrets. However specific to your question, there are several products on the market that may enhance not only your beard and facial hair growth, but also for thinning hair of the scalp.
