Vaniqa contains eflornithine, which works by slowing the growth of unwanted facial hair. It does not remove hair, but with regular use can help reduce how quickly facial hair grows, making hair less noticeable over time.
Vaniqa is used by women to manage excessive facial hair (hirsutism), particularly on areas such as the upper lip, chin, and jawline. It can be used alongside other hair removal methods such as shaving or waxing.
