Description
Vaniqa is the only prescription that has been scientifically proven to slow the growth of unwanted facial hair. This allows women to spend less time in hair removal. It does not remove existing facial
hair. Using fragrance-free Vaniqa two times a day will not eliminate your need for a regular hair removal technique, but does limit hair growth. Use externally only.
