Your dermatology provider has determined this formulation is appropriate for your specific skin based on the assessment you completed.
03
Do not use The Hair Reduction SolutionRx if any of the following apply to you. If your situation changes after your assessment, contact your DermClick care team before continuing use.
04
Topical eflornithine has a limited pregnancy safety profile. Do not start this treatment during pregnancy or while nursing without explicit guidance from your dermatology provider. If your pregnancy status changes during treatment, contact your DermClick care team immediately so your prescription can be adjusted.
The Hair Reduction SolutionRx slows new hair growth and does not remove existing hair. You will likely continue your usual removal method (shaving, waxing, threading, lasering) during treatment. Do not apply the topical immediately after waxing, threading, or laser hair removal. Wait at least 5 minutes after removal and avoid application for 24 to 48 hours if your skin is irritated. Your dermatology provider will cover specifics during your assessment.
Mild stinging, tingling, dryness, or redness at the application site is common, especially during the first 2 to 4 weeks. If reactions persist or worsen, contact your DermClick care team, as your application frequency or formula can be adjusted.
Hair reduction is gradual. Meaningful change typically develops over 6 to 12 weeks of consistent daily use. If you do not see results by 4 months of consistent use, contact your DermClick care team for assessment.
Hair growth typically returns to its previous rate when treatment is discontinued. The Hair Reduction SolutionRx is designed for ongoing daily use, with adjustments over time as your dermatology provider directs.
Avoid contact with eyes, lips, the corners of the nose, and any mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with cool water.
Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher is recommended for all DermClick patients. Treated areas may be slightly more sensitive to sun.
Tell your dermatology provider about any prescription or over-the-counter medications you use, especially:

These may happen especially in the first 2 to 4 weeks of treatment.
These are typical of topical eflornithine treatment and usually settle within the first 2 to 4 weeks. Your DermClick care team can adjust your application frequency or your formula if these symptoms become uncomfortable.
Contact your DermClick care team or seek emergency care if you experience:
06
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin on the treated area twice daily, typically morning and evening. Use a small amount and rub in gently until absorbed. Do not wash the treated area for at least 4 hours after application.
Twice daily, with applications at least 8 hours apart. Consistency matters more than amount, as the effect builds with regular use.
A small drop or pea-sized amount is enough for one area, such as the upper lip, chin, or jawline. More is not better.
Continue your usual hair removal method during treatment. Apply The Hair Reduction Solution at least 5 minutes after shaving or 24 hours after waxing or threading. For laser hair removal, your dermatology provider will set timing.
Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the cap closed when not in use. Do not freeze.
Use within the period indicated on your prescription label. Do not use after the expiration date.
Morning
Gentle cleanser, then The Hair Reduction SolutionRx on treated area, then moisturizer, then broad-spectrum SPF 30+
Evening
Gentle cleanser, then The Hair Reduction SolutionRx on treated area, then a barrier-supporting, fragrance-free moisturizer.
07
Reduce application to once daily, follow with a fragrance-free moisturizer, and message your DermClick care team. We can adjust your formula or your application protocol.
Stop using the medication. Message your DermClick care team. Send photos if you can so your dermatology provider can review and respond.
For severe rash, swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, or signs of severe allergic reaction, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room immediately.
08
Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy for individual patients, based on a prescription written by a licensed dermatology provider. They are not individually evaluated or approved by the FDA.
The Hair Reduction SolutionRxis a compounded prescription medication containing eflornithine, an ingredient used in prescription care for unwanted facial hair. Compounding allows your dermatology provider to combine it with barrier-supporting ingredients - niacinamide, ceramides, and Centella asiatica - in a single formulation, rather than asking you to layer multiple separate products on top of treated areas. The supporting ingredients aren't optional extras - they are what makes twice-daily application livable on facial skin.
Your prescription is compounded by a 503A licensed compounding pharmacy and shipped directly to you.
