Does Toppik (Hair Fiber/ Hair concealer) cause hair loss if used daily?

TMarroni21
Hello. I'm 45 and have Androgenetic Alopecia. I take Propecia and apply minoxidil. I've been using daily for the last few weeks the hair fiber brand Toppik to help with my thin hair (which helps) but I was told that the chemicals in Toppik can clog the pores of the scalp with a daily usage and cause hair loss and prevent hair growth. Is that true or false? Should I use it only 2/3 times a week instead of everyday? Also is it OK to leave it overnight on the scalp?Thank you for your help on this.
