hey ladies

so, i'm still struggling daily with the whole peach fuzz issue - trying to decide whether i have an abnormal and visible amount, or if i am normal and i am being obsessive. anyway... i had a few questions i wanted opinions on:

1) does vaniqa work on vellus hair (peach fuzz)?
2) am i obsessing over the peach fuzz thing too much? it's blonde, fine, and soft. the hairs are longer on my lower cheeks and jaw than thei hairs on my upper cheeks and forehead. they generally don't stick out from my face.. but mostly lie flat agaisnt the skin.
3) do you have to remove hair for vaniqa to work?
4) have any of you had the peach fuzz come back thicker and worse after removing it?

Good question! I have the same type of fine hair growth on my face too. Its blond because I bleach it. Its very fine but there is ALOT of it. I have had some people tell me that they can't notice it and it looks "normal" but then I have had some jerks tease me about it. I had it all waxed off once..I liked how it looked but I think that would be too damaging for my skin to do on a regular basis..I"m going to ask my Doc about Vaniqua at my appoinment next week. I'm curious to see how it works!
