Eflornithine topical "Vaniqa has been amazing at slowing my facial hair growth. My first tube was six months ago that, with discounts, cost $50, still high but worth it for me. But the second prescription is $180 as discounts are no longer available. But my main question is, has anyone else noticed the hair on their head also thinning? I can easily see my scalp on the left side of my head. And if Vaniqa is not to blame, are any discounts still working for anyone in the US, or is there a pharmacy outside of the US to fill cheaper?"

Eflornithine topical for Hirsutism "I was lucky enough to get this on prescription from an NHS dermatologist. It began working within a very short time. Hair is a lot less, finer, and not so noticeable. Every few weeks, hair seems to increase slightly, but I think that is due to hair's natural cycle as it grows. I am very pleased with this cream and will continue to purchase it myself. The tube lasts about 10 weeks."

Eflornithine topical for Hirsutism "I have not bought this due to being really expensive. I was lucky enough and asked my sister if she could get it for me in Germany. Her doctor gave her the prescription and bought it for only $9. I will be receiving it in a week and can’t wait to start using it."

Eflornithine topical for Hirsutism "Wow, this cream works. I have PCOS, and after years of plucking every day, as the hair was so bad, my doctor prescribed Vaniqa. The difference is very noticeable after under 2 months."

Eflornithine topical for Hirsutism "Vaniqa worked great for a few years. Recently, there was a long period (months) when you couldn't get it. Now it's back, but it doesn't work as well. Very disappointed."

Eflornithine topical for Hirsutism "Worked on facial hair, however, I also started to have heavy fallout from the hair on my head. It may have been coincidental, but it was enough to make me stop using the cream."

Eflornithine topical for Hirsutism "I just started using this less than a week ago, it is covered under my insurance. I hope it works for me. I've had unwanted chin hair growth for over 30 years, and it was hard for me."

Eflornithine topical for Hirsutism "Not sure if it's working either, following directions for how much it is. I used to do electrolysis, which didn't do much either; she said not to pluck because it would reopen the now cauterized blood supply for the hair follicle; but I don't know if I should pluck for the cream to get to the follicle? I also have to apply it to my 'happy trail' and around my nipples; my doctor said it's okay to use there. I'm applying rubbing alcohol to clean it better?? Also, I apply it to my beard minus rubbing alcohol, so I have to be very sparing with it. I also tried for a rebate, not fair, not covered by insurance... coupon ideas anyone? Are there generics, and do they work?"
