This med is supposed to reduce facial hair regrowth in women. Does anyone have any experience using it for M2F? I plan to discuss with my doctor but would like to hear experiences of others.

Doctor game me a perscription for it but when I found out how much it was and that it works only as long as you use it I said NOOO.

My Endo offer that to me but explained that it doesn't get rid of the hair so I thought what's the point! Personally I would spend that money on electrolysis.

Used it...did slow beard growth noticeably...expensive...consider laser or electrolysis.

If that's the generic for Vaniqa, it works, to a point. But it was very expensive ($50 for a tiny tube), you have to use it 1-2 daily anywhere you want hair growth reduced, which means a tube will only last a few days if you are doing everywhere. Obviously since it's made for women (and says so on the tube), it is not as effective on male hair.
If you combine with shaving, you can see the frequency you need to shave reduced.

It's just damned expensive. If it were 5-$15 a tube (aka a week supply), it might be worth it.
