Eflornithine

Slow unwanted facial hair regrowth.

$39.00/month

Starting with a 2-month supply

Built around eflornithine, the only prescription active that slows facial hair growth at the follicle. It doesn't remove the hair you already have; it slows the follicle so what grows back comes in finer over time. A real prescription, dosed by a board-certified dermatologist on our clinical team.

Treats the following hair concerns:

Formulation

Key ingredients include:

Eflornithine HCl Monohydrate 13.9%

How & Why It Works

Slows the cell activity that produces hair at the follicle
Makes regrowth come back slower and finer over time
Works alongside your usual removal method (shave, wax, thread)
Centella asiatica soothes daily application
Ceramides reinforce the skin barrier and lock in moisture
Compounded by a licensed pharmacy for each prescription

Eflornithine doesn't change hair that's already there. It works on what the follicle produces next, so the effect builds over weeks of consistent use.

Some people notice mild dryness or temporary sensitivity as their skin adjusts. A board-certified dermatologist on our clinical team reviews your case and sets a formulation appropriate for your skin.

How to Use

After cleansing, apply a thin layer to the affected areas of clean, dry skin twice daily — or as directed by the dermatologist on your clinical team.

Continue whatever removal method you're already using (shaving, waxing, threading). Over time, you’ll likely need it less often.

Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning on treated areas.

Most people see visible changes in 6–12 weeks with consistent use
Each tube is approximately a one-month supply

Pairs Well With

The Redness Control Formula

A daily prescription that helps calm the redness and flushing that regular hair removal can leave behind.

The Red Mark Solution

A prescription formula that helps fade the marks that irritation from shaving or waxing can leave on the skin.

Monica's chin before and after using the Hair Reduction Solution

BeforeAfter

No makeup, no touchups

★★★★★

“I'm not shaving my chin every morning anymore”

“For years I had coarse dark hairs on my chin that seemed to come back almost as soon as I shaved them. I got into the habit of checking my face every morning because I hated feeling stubble by the end of the day. I started using the Hair Reduction Solution consistently and didn't expect much at first because the change was gradual. Around two months in, I realized I could go longer between shaving. By about three months, the regrowth on my chin was noticeably slower and there was less of it. I still remove the hairs when I need to, but it no longer feels like a daily job.”

Vanessa's upper lip before and after using the Hair Reduction Solution

BeforeAfter

No makeup, no touchups

★★★★★

“My upper lip regrowth is finally less noticeable”

“My upper lip hair wasn't extreme, but because my hair is dark, I could see the shadow and regrowth very quickly after removing it. I used to thread or shave that area constantly. My dermatologist explained that this wouldn't remove the hair I already had, but could slow how quickly it came back. That is exactly what happened. After around ten weeks, the regrowth looked much less dense and I wasn't reaching for my razor nearly as often. It's such a small thing, but it has made my routine so much easier.”

Aisha's jawline before and after using the Hair Reduction Solution

“The hairs along my jawline grow back much more slowly”

“I've always had a few coarse hairs along my jaw and under my chin, but over the last couple of years they became more noticeable and I was plucking almost every day. I started this treatment because I wanted something that addressed the growth itself instead of just another way of removing hair. The first month was subtle, but by the third month I could clearly see that the hairs were taking longer to come back and the area didn't feel as rough between removals. I still tweeze occasionally, just nowhere near as often as before.”

“Hormonal facial hair was becoming part of my daily routine”

“As I've gotten older, I started noticing more dark hairs around my chin and the corners of my mouth. It gradually went from something I dealt with once in a while to something I was checking almost every day. I began using the Hair Reduction Solution while continuing to shave the same way I always had. After about twelve weeks, the difference in regrowth was obvious. The hairs are still there, but fewer seem to come back as quickly and I can go much longer before I feel like I need to remove them again.”

Nia's jawline before and after using the Hair Reduction Solution

BeforeAfter

No makeup, no touchups

★★★★★

“I finally have less visible stubble between waxes”

“I used to wax the sides of my face and jawline, but the frustrating part was how quickly I started seeing new growth again. I didn't expect a topical prescription to make a visible difference, so I took photos to compare. After several months, the difference surprised me. At the same point between hair-removal sessions, there is noticeably less visible regrowth now. My skin still looks completely normal and I still wax when I need to, but I can space the appointments out much more comfortably.”

Anjali's chin before and after using the Hair Reduction Solution

BeforeAfter

No makeup, no touchups

★★★★★

“I spend so much less time dealing with facial hair”

“I have naturally dark hair and had noticeable growth on my upper lip, chin, and a few spots along my jaw. Shaving worked, but I was doing it so often that the whole thing became exhausting. With consistent use of the Hair Reduction Solution, the change wasn't overnight, but by around eight to twelve weeks I was clearly shaving less frequently. The hairs that come back also seem less noticeable because there's simply less regrowth at the point when I would normally have already shaved again. For me, that convenience has been the biggest win.”

The clinical team

The medicine behind your prescription is built by the doctors you already follow.

The Hair Reduction Solution ^Rx wasn't formulated by an algorithm or pulled from a generic template. Its protocol was designed by Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky, Dr. Mamina Turegano, and Dr. Jenny Liu — three board-certified dermatologists with combined decades of clinical experience treating real patients, including the women whose facial hair has become a daily routine they're ready to step away from. Your prescription is then written by a board-certified dermatologist on our clinical team, working from the protocol they established.

What's in the bottle

Real actives. Named, not hidden.

The Hair Reduction Solution ^Rx pairs a prescription active with supporting ingredients designed to keep your skin comfortable while the medication does its work.

Active Ingredients

Eflornithine HCl Monohydrate

THE FOLLICLE TARGET

A prescription enzyme inhibitor that slows the rate of facial hair regrowth by targeting the cell activity responsible for hair production at the follicle. The one active that changes what grows back — not what's already there.

Supporting Ingredients

Centella Asiatica

THE CALMER

A clinically studied botanical that soothes irritation and supports recovery. Used in dermatology for decades — the quiet ingredient that keeps the strong ones comfortable.

Ceramides

THE BARRIER REPAIR

Lipids that reinforce the skin barrier and lock in moisture, keeping treated areas comfortable with daily use.

Exact concentrations are determined by a board-certified dermatologist on your care team based on your assessment, your tolerance, and your skin's history. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.

What to expect

Slower regrowth, less often. The compounding effect over weeks.

Woman applying hair reduction treatment to her upper lip

The Hair Reduction Solution ^Rx works at the follicle level by slowing the cell activity that produces hair. The hair you already have keeps growing on the days right after you start, which is why most patients keep using their usual removal method (shaving, waxing) alongside the treatment. What changes is what comes back: slower, finer regrowth as the weeks add up.

Slows the rate of facial hair regrowth over time
Reduces how often you need to shave, wax, or pluck
Layers with your existing hair removal routine without interference
Designed specifically for the texture and skin of female facial-hair areas
Built for ongoing daily use — discontinuation typically reverses results

Built for the woman tired of shaving and waxing the same spots forever.

The Hair Reduction Solution ^Rx is a daily topical you apply to clean skin on the areas you want to treat — upper lip, chin, sideburns, jawline. It works alongside whatever you're already doing (shaving, waxing, threading, lasering) and slows regrowth so you need to do those things less often. Most patients see meaningfully slower and finer regrowth between weeks 6 and 12 of consistent use.

Ideal for you if you're

Dealing with unwanted facial hair from hormonal changes or genetics
Tired of shaving, waxing, threading, or plucking the same spots over and over
Looking for a prescription option that slows regrowth, not just removes existing hair
Wanting a gentle daily topical that fits easily into your routine
Ready to try a prescription hair reduction treatment, as confirmed during your assessment

Consider a different fit if you're:

Looking for a single treatment that removes existing hair — this slows regrowth; you'll still use your usual removal method
Pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive — talk to a board-certified dermatologist on your care team before starting
Under 12 years of age
Expecting results in days or a week — meaningful change happens between weeks 6 and 12 with consistent use
Stopping treatment after a few months — hair growth typically returns to its previous rate when you stop applying

Realistic timeline

What you may see in 8–12 weeks.

Hair reduction treatment is patient work — the change builds across the hair growth cycle, not overnight. Here's what most patients experience with consistent daily use.

Results vary. Timelines depend on your starting skin, your formula strength, and how consistently you apply your treatment.

Weeks 1–2

Adjustment

Your skin gets used to a daily prescription topical in an area that's already shaved or waxed regularly. Mild dryness or temporary sensitivity at the application site is common and usually settles quickly.

Weeks 3–6

Early signal

You may start noticing regrowth coming back slightly slower or finer in the treated area. The change is subtle at this point — most patients notice it as "I haven't needed to shave as often" rather than as a dramatic visible difference.

Weeks 7–12

Visible improvement

Most patients see meaningfully slower and finer regrowth by this stage. You'll likely be removing hair less frequently than you were when you started. This is the point most patients feel the treatment has earned its place in the routine.

Beyond 12 weeks

Ongoing use

The Hair Reduction Solutionᴿˣ is designed for continued daily use. If you stop applying, hair regrowth typically returns to your previous rate over time. Your DermClick care team checks in to confirm it's still the right fit.

Results vary. Timelines depend on your starting skin, your formula strength, and how consistently you apply your treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this remove the hair I already have?

No. The Hair Reduction Solutionᴿˣ slows the regrowth of new hair at the follicle level — it doesn't remove the hair you already have. Most patients keep using their usual removal method (shaving, waxing, threading, lasering) alongside the treatment. What changes is what comes back: slower, finer regrowth that means you're removing hair less often over time.

How long until I see results?

Most patients start noticing slower or finer regrowth between weeks 4 and 8 of consistent daily use, with meaningful change typically visible by weeks 6 to 12. Hair reduction works gradually because it works on the hair growth cycle — there's no overnight shortcut. Your DermClick care team checks in along the way.

What happens if I stop using it?

Hair regrowth typically returns to your previous rate over time when you stop applying the treatment. The Hair Reduction Solutionᴿˣ is designed for ongoing daily use, the way you'd think about any chronic-condition treatment. Some patients use it indefinitely; others step down to less frequent application after they've reached the level of regrowth they're comfortable with.

Can I still shave, wax, or use laser hair removal?

Yes. The Hair Reduction Solutionᴿˣ is designed to work alongside whatever removal method you're already using. Apply the topical to clean, dry skin on the days you're not doing a removal treatment. For waxing or laser sessions, a board-certified dermatologist on your care team may recommend pausing application for 24 to 48 hours before and after. Your assessment will cover the specifics for your routine.

Is this only for women?

The Hair Reduction Solutionᴿˣ is formulated specifically for unwanted facial hair in women — including hormonal facial hair growth from PCOS, menopause, and other causes. Topical eflornithine has been studied and prescribed primarily for women's facial hair reduction. Men experiencing unwanted facial hair growth should discuss alternatives with a board-certified dermatologist on their care team during the assessment.

Will this work for hair on my arms, legs, or other body parts?

The Hair Reduction Solutionᴿˣ is prescribed specifically for facial hair — the formulation and the studies behind eflornithine are focused there. For larger body areas, prescription topicals are generally less practical than other removal options. If you're dealing with unwanted hair beyond the face, a board-certified dermatologist on your care team will discuss options during your assessment.

Where can I find full safety information?

Full prescribing details, including side effects, drug interactions, and who shouldn't use this treatment, are available on our Important Safety Information page. We recommend reading it before starting treatment.

The Hair Reduction Solution ^Rx is a focused topical for one job: slowing facial hair regrowth. If daily application is causing sensitivity, or if waxing and threading have left marks, or if hormonal changes brought more than just hair — there's a prescription for that too.
