Hey everyone!

Im already taking Metformin and Finisteride but I am about 2 weeks into using the cream Vaniqa.

I would like to know some of your opinons on this product, as Im not far enough into using it yet to pass judgement.

Thanks for your help

You may want to try a search on Vaniqa. I think there have been some cysters that used it without much success. I would do in the Hair in Wrong Places/Hair Loss forum, since the medication applies to that aspect of PCOS.


PS - Welcome to SC!!

I did a quick search for you
Here are some of the results that I got, although there were 4 pages of posts!!

HTH

vaniqa cream??

Vaniqua

what will vaniqua do, when can I tell?

Here is another one that says there was someone it did work for - it goes off onto laser treatments, though
Facial Hair

Here's some success stories, there was another cyster that mentioned the cream (I didn't read it all, there might be more)
Success Stories!!!

I've been using it since December and I love it. I have already seen a huge improvement in my hair growth. Before I started I had to get electrolysis every fortnight....I've only gotton it done twice this year.

I love so much whats its done for my upper lip. I only need to shave it once a week and to be honest...not even once a week. Sometimes I can go longer.

I have heard it hasnt worked for some people though. But for me, it definetly has.

Thats excellent news! I havent seen any results yet after 3/4 weeks.

How long did it take for before you saw some results coolcatsangel?
