Vaniqa Key Facts
What Vaniqa is
Vaniqa is a topical cream containing eflornithine hydrochloride 13.9% for dermatologic use on the face.
What it’s used for
It is used to reduce unwanted facial hair in women, and it has only been studied on the face and the adjacent area under the chin.
How it works
Vaniqa interferes with an enzyme in the hair follicle that is needed for hair growth, which can slow the rate of facial hair growth over time.
Vaniqa Safety Overview
Vaniqa is for external use only and should be used exactly as directed.
Vaniqa Warnings & Precautions
Vaniqa does not permanently remove hair, so most patients still need to use hair removal methods while using the medication.
Do not use Vaniqa if:
- You have hypersensitivity to eflornithine or any ingredient in the product
Key warnings to know
- Not for eyes, mouth, or inside nose, and not for oral or intravaginal use
- Not a depilatory, continue hair removal methods as needed
- Apply twice daily at least 8 hours apart, and do not wash treated skin for at least 4 hours
- Apply at least 5 minutes after hair removal, and apply cosmetics or sunscreen after the cream dries
- Stop use and contact a prescriber if hypersensitivity or persistent irritation occurs
Side Effects and When to Get Help

Possible side effects may include
- Skin irritation such as redness, burning, stinging, tingling, itching, dryness, or rash
- Acne or hair bump reactions such as folliculitis or ingrown hairs
- Headache or dizziness

- Severe skin reaction such as marked swelling, intense burning, blistering, or rapidly worsening irritation

Interactions
Vaniqa is a topical medication, but a product review is still important so you avoid unnecessary irritation or overlap with other facial treatments.

- Hair removal methods and timing, especially if skin becomes irritated
- Prescription medicines, otc medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements
