Eflornithine topical "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 "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 "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 "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 "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."
