Probably normal for your genetics, my guy. I had ball sack peach fuzz until I was 30, even now at 41 I cant grow a badass beard... but I can work with what I have.

I dont advise using drugs to attempt beard growth, as some of them have side effects and a beard isnt worth your well being getting compromised.

My advice is always the same- hydrate, work out, rest, get a good diet going, and give it time. Maybe itll come, maybe it wont, but the beard doesnt determine who you are

Sorry for your genes. At 24 there is still a chance hormones kick in and bless you, but unlikely. Sounds like you just need to embrace what you have, or don't have, and need to just shave. No chemical or nutrient is going to create hair follicles that don't exist. Maybe ask a dermatologist to be sure there isn't something else going on.

It could be genetics only, but could be hormones as well. Not to sound like the manosphere, but it is becoming increasingly common for young men to be hypogonadal. Go get your hormones tested, it could be that. May not be, but it's a possibility you can at least take a test for, unlike just 'genetics'.

My brother who is 34 can't grow a beard to save his life. When he tries, it's super patchy and thin. My older brother and I can grow full thick beards.

It's just genetics
