Is Vaniqa A depilatory?

Short Answer:

No, Vaniqa is the only topical cream for reducing and inhibiting the growth of unwanted facial hair.

Long Answer:

As the insert for Vaniqa explains, eflornithine hydrochloride affects skin when it “interferes with an enzyme found in the hair follicle of the skin needed for hair growth. This results in slower hair growth. [However] Vaniqa does not permanently remove hair or ‘cure’ unwanted facial hair. Your treatment program should include continuation of any hair removal technique you are currently using. Improvement in the condition occurs gradually.
