After years of tweezing and depilatory creams I was skeptical about trying this especially since it is so expensive (about $65 for a 30 gm tube.)
But you only need a tiny bit twice a day and the tube should last a couple of months. I have only used it for about 2 weeks so cant be sure of that.
My dermatologist assured me there are no hormones in this ointment despite some comments I have read.
Some tingling on first application but no rash or real discomfort.
I have read that it works better in post menopausal women but its well worth a try. I have not used a depilatory cream since using Vaniqa which is a first for me.
