Basic facts
Herbal remedies to avoid
Description
Some of the
worst offenders
Basic facts
The prescription topical cream
Vaniqa
is clinically proven to slow hair growth on some (but not all)
women's faces.
Some prescription
RX
oral medications
have been clinically observed to slow hair growth
Herbal remedies sold over the counter and online have not been
proven to work in published clinical studies.

Hair inhibitors have been around since the snake-oil heyday of
the 19th century. However, with the recent approval of the prescription drug
Vaniqa,
these non-prescription products have exploded, especially on TV
infomercials and the web. Topical herbal preparations are marketed agressively online, often with false and misleading information
and bogus claims of effectiveness.
Herbal remedies to avoid
There is no published clinical data that backs up claims that over the counter hair inhibitors can slow or stop hair growth.
The only one that has demonstrated it can work as claimed is Vaniqa.
Only Vaniqa has done the type of extensive testing necessary to
determine the effectiveness of a product.
NOTE: This list is incomplete. ANY non-prescription product claiming to inhibit hair growth in humans is making unproven claims.
