Description
Vaniqa Cream 11.5% is a unique prescription treatment designed specifically for women to manage unwanted facial hair. Containing the active ingredient eflornithine hydrochloride, it works by reducing the rate of hair growth, leading to finer and less noticeable hair over time. This discreet and easy-to-apply cream is ideal for use alongside your existing hair removal routine, helping to delay regrowth and enhance smoothness.
