For Hirsutism "I have suffered with strong facial hair on my neck and chin for 2 years. It was a nightmare. I would stand in a mirror plucking for 2 hours, which is not good when you have a school run to do. I have recently noticed my facial hair getting worse, and the more I plucked, the more rashes and ingrown hairs I was getting. It was ruining my life. I went to my local GP with an infection on my neck from plucking, and he prescribed me Vaniqa cream. I have to tell everyone who suffers like me, don't get the cream, it's amazing. I have been using it for 3 days (not long I know), but the difference in my skin and hair growth is amazing. I have smoother skin, and my bumps are nearly nonexistent."

For Hirsutism "I have had immediate results with Vaniqa, reducing coarse hairs on my chin and all hair on my upper lip. I also noticed a big reduction in whiteheads and ingrown hairs on my chin. Because I also have had moderate hair loss with thinning on my entire head, I reduced application to once every day. I still had hair coming out on brushing, so now down to once every other day."

For Hirsutism "I started using this product about a month ago, and I started seeing results immediately! I suffered from coarse chin hair and would often get ingrown hairs that led to scarring from constant tweezing and irritation. I barely have to tweeze anymore, and when I do, the hairs are thin and come out very easily. I do not know if this product has skin lightening agents in it, but I have also noticed that my scarring has faded as well! After suffering for years and not being able to leave the house without makeup, I am happy to say that because of this product, I am starting to feel confident in my own skin again! I absolutely would recommend this product to anyone who could use it. I am consistent with applying twice a day and am very happy with it!"
