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.
