Vaniqa Cream For Facial Hair Removal

Vaniqa Cream is a prescription medication that effectively slows unwanted facial hair growth in women. Following a short consultation form, you can buy Vaniqa Cream online from our facial hair removal clinic at Click2Pharmacy. Once approved by one of our licensed pharmacists, we’ll deliver your cream quickly and discreetly right to your door.

How Does Vaniqa Cream Work?

Vaniqa’s active ingredient, eflornithine, blocks a specific enzyme in hair production, slowing down facial hair growth in the treated areas. By applying the cream directly to the areas of unwanted hair, you can precisely target hair growth right where it’s needed most.

Who is Vaniqa suitable for?

Vaniqa is suitable for most women looking to reduce excessive facial hair growth. However, you should not use this medication if you:

  • Are allergic to eflornithine or any of the other ingredients listed in the medication
  • Are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breastfeeding

If you’re unsure whether Vaniqa is suitable for you, read the patient information leaflet or speak with your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

How To Use Vaniqa Cream

To get the best results from Vaniqa Cream, follow these instructions carefully:

  • Apply a thin layer of cream twice daily, at least 8 hours apart, to clean and dry skin where unwanted facial hair grows. Rub it in thoroughly until no visible residue remains.
  • Wait at least 5 minutes after shaving or using other hair removal methods before applying the cream to avoid stinging or burning sensations on irritated skin.
  • Avoid washing the treated areas for 4 hours after application, if possible, and always wash your hands immediately after applying the cream.

Remember, Vaniqa is not a depilatory cream, so you may need to continue your usual hair removal routine, such as shaving or plucking, while using it.

Vaniqa Cream FAQs


With consistent twice-daily use, you should start noticing a reduction in facial hair growth within about 8 weeks. However, if no improvement is seen after using Vaniqa regularly for 4 months, speak with your doctor for further advice.

You should not use Vaniqa if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. If you’re in any of these situations, talk to your doctor about different methods for managing unwanted facial hair.

Vaniqa is not a depilatory cream; it slows down hair growth but does not remove existing hair. You may need to continue using your usual hair removal methods, such as shaving or plucking while using Vaniqa.

You can apply makeup, sunscreen, or other products after using Vaniqa. However, it’s best to wait at least 5 minutes to allow the cream to fully absorb into the skin before applying anything else to the treated areas.

Before applying Vaniqa, it’s best to wait at least 5 minutes after shaving, plucking, or using any other hair removal method. This helps avoid stinging or burning sensations if the cream is applied to irritated skin.

Vaniqa is a prescription medication in the UK. However, you can buy it online from Click2Pharmacy after completing a short consultation form. Once approved by one of our licensed pharmacists, we’ll deliver the cream directly to your door.

Vaniqa is generally well-tolerated by most skin types. However, if you have particularly sensitive skin or a history of allergic reactions to skincare products, it’s advisable to discuss whether you should use Vaniqa with your doctor or a pharmacist.

Vaniqa is specifically designed and approved for the treatment of unwanted facial hair in women. It should not be used on other parts of the body. If you have concerns about excessive hair growth elsewhere, speak with your doctor for appropriate treatment options.

Vaniqa slows down hair growth but does not permanently stop it. If you discontinue treatment, your hair growth will likely return to how it was before treatment within about 8 weeks.
