Comment from: PBO, 35-44 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

I have been using Vaniqa now for 6 weeks. The reduction in facial hair being problematic has been remarkable! I find myself hardly having to pluck hairs anymore, which has dramatically improved the quality of my life. I suffered for too long with unsightly hair and Vaniqa has not only retarded the growth of facial hair at an incredible rate, it has also been gentle to my skin and I can tell you that there have been no adverse reactions at all to Vaniqa. Another wonderful component to Vaniqa has been its compatibility with Meladerm, which I use as well. I started using these two products together 2 weeks ago and there have been absolutely NO negative interactions between these products. The Meladerm continues to fade problems due to hyper-pigmentation while the Vaniqa has steadfastly been eliminating the need to pluck unwanted facial hair. I am thrilled with Vaniqa and highly recommend it to ANYONE who suffers with excess facial hair in a daily basis. Stellar product and it's also compatible with other products as well. Vaniqa has completely improved the quality of my life. Published: September 28, 2007 ::

I have been satisfied with Vaniqa and want to continue its use, but find it so expensive that I may quit. Are there any generics out there yet that would better priced since my insurance does not pay for any of it? Published: October 23, 2008 ::

Comment from: Mary R, 65-74 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

Very effective within 7 weeks of starting. But: Trials seem to have been done over only 12 months, and hair growth is said to restart within 7 weeks of stopping application. So now I am faced with a lifetime on Vaniqa. What should I really do? Any suggestions? Or advice? Published: April 15, 2008 ::

Comment from: none, 45-54 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

I have tried this drug in the past given samples to me by my Dermatolgist, I was very impressed with the results, I recently purchased it and it is not covered by the Insurance very expensive but i think its worth it. Published: November 25, 2008 ::

Comment from: autumn, 55-64 Female on Treatment for 6 months - 1 year (Patient)

I started using vaniqa last year and after a full two months my facial hair was much less noticable and much finer. I could tell it was working by the way my skin tingled when I applied it. Very gentle on skin. Then one month I couldn't afford it, the hair started coming back, and I have to start all over again. Very expensive, requires a commitment, but it works.

Comment from: cierra1030, 35-44 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

I have used this product and was very pleased with results--as far as removal of hair. However, after about 3 weeks, my face starts breaking out with like really big knots so to speak. I have read other reviews on this site and others but no one else seems to have this problem. It has gotten to the point where I would just rather shave than deal with the acne. Has anyone else experienced this? As far as the medicine doing it's job, I have to give it 5 stars. Published: March 27, 2009 ::

Comment from: Shadster, 45-54 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

I have used Vaniqa for 8 weeks and I only now seeing small results. Ised to get a five oclock shadow the same day I shaved but now I get the same shadow the next evening, so it is slow progress but at least there is some change. Published: March 25, 2008 ::
