Tired of managing unwanted facial hair? Vaniqa offers a proven solution, available online
Unwanted facial hair is more common than you might think. Whether caused by genetics, hormones, or medical conditions such as PCOS, it can impact confidence, comfort, and daily life. Over-the-counter creams and waxing offer only temporary relief, but Vaniqa targets hair growth at its source.
With smartscripts.ie, you can access a prescription for Vaniqa online, reviewed by Irish-registered doctors and sent directly to your pharmacy or delivered to your home.
Vaniqa (Eflornithine 11.5%) is a prescription cream specifically developed to reduce unwanted facial hair in women. It works by slowing down hair growth at the root, giving you longer-lasting smoothness between other hair removal methods.
Key facts:
Who Is Vaniqa For?
Vaniqa is suitable for adult women experiencing excess facial hair (hirsutism), especially those who:
Vaniqa is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and may not be appropriate for women with certain skin conditions. Our doctors will carefully assess your history before prescribing.
It slows new hair growth at the follicle. It doesn’t remove existing hairs, so you can keep shaving, threading, waxing, laser or epilating while regrowth reduces over time.
Most people notice improvement within 6–8 weeks. If there’s no benefit by 4 months, your clinician may advise stopping or alternatives. Continued use is usually needed to maintain results.
Apply a thin layer twice daily, let it dry completely, and avoid the eyes/lips/broken skin. Wash your hands after application. You can continue waxing/laser/threading; many people need to do it less often after a few weeks.
Not for pregnancy/breastfeeding, broken/irritated skin, or anyone with a known allergy to similar creams. Possible effects include mild stinging, redness, dryness, or acne/folliculitis. Stop and seek medical advice if irritation is persistent or severe, or if facial hair is new and rapidly worsening.
