For Hirsutism "I had been on bioidentical hormone replacement pellets in which the high dosage of testosterone gave me dark, thick hairs on my chin and thicker hairs above my lip. I changed to a new doctor and am using hormone creams instead. He prescribed this for me, mentioning it will stop the hair growth. I've been on it now for almost three months, and it has done nothing but irritate my top lip. I have reddish skin now above my lip, almost like mild burn marks, as well as patches of dry skin. My doctor told me it may take up to a year to begin working, and that 90% of patients on it continue with it. After reading some of the horrible reviews, I may opt for laser hair removal treatments. I have to do something, as the hair growth is more than I can handle daily. I'm not happy with this at all."

For Hirsutism "I've been using this for about 3 months. I have not seen a reduction in hair. It really dried my skin out, making the hair look worse. It is really expensive at $100. I'm going to finish this bottle, then I am done. It was worth a shot."

For Hirsutism "It has helped slow hair a little bit, which is the only reason I have given it any stars. I have to be honest, I am disappointed in this. It has caused hair to grow under my skin, and it is always visible. It also dried my skin out, and my chin and neck look worse than when I didn't use this. Less hair, but bumps, blotches, dark spots, and permanent stubble. Giving up on it after this tube."

For Hirsutism "Having been using this on and off since I've bought it. I don't know if it's only me, but it has made my overall skin VERY dry. I'm not complaining since I have naturally oily skin. However, it is extremely tight-feeling and unusual. It also stings A LOT if you have removed hair on the day, i.e., threading. I haven't noticed a difference in the thickness of my hair or any decrease in growth. After reading such positive reviews, I do hope it works for myself and other women out there suffering! I really do wish this is the 'miracle' cream it has been labeled since it was super expensive here in the UK."
