Facial hair growth is a genetic trait.  If you have very little facial hair there isn't much you can do to increase the growth.  L-lysine is not a DHT blocker.

Lysine is not a DHT blocker but an amino acid. If you are looking for a DHT blocker get your doctor to prescribe you Finasteride (Propecia) which is the most effective drug on the market currently.

This is not a DHT blocker. If you want a DHT blocker stick to the standard and most effective fDA approved DHT blocker which is finasteride
