How it works
It is postulated that topical eflornithine hydrochloride irreversibly inhibits skin ODC activity. This enzyme is necessary in the synthesis of polyamines. Animal data indicate that inhibition of ornithine decarboxylase inhibits cell division and synthetic functions, which affect the rate of hair growth. It has been shown to retard the rate of hair growth in non-clinical and clinical studies.

Results take time but it does work. Upper lip hair got a lot finer after 3-4 weeks.

Been using this for facial hair for a month, growth has slowed down noticeably. No irritation even on sensitive skin.
