Vaniqa cream (Eflornithine Hydrochloride) is a prescription cream that is used to reduce the growth of unwanted facial hair on the body or face in women, this is a condition called hirsutism. Vaniqa cream does not remove facial hair or prevent hair growth permanently. Eflornithine is a prescription hair removal cream, and it belongs to a drug class called hair growth inhibitors. It works by blocking a certain enzyme in the hair follicle (roots) of the skin needed for hair growth. Vaniqa cream is applied to the affected areas of the skin to reduce the growth of unwanted hair. You may see the benefits of Vaniqa cream within two months after you start treatment.
