Eflora Cream is a prescription topical medicine commonly used by women to help manage unwanted facial hair on the upper lip, chin, and area under the jaw.
Each 15g tube contains eflornithine hydrochloride 13.9%. Rather than removing hair at the surface, Eflora helps slow the rate at which it grows. You will still need to shave, wax, thread, or pluck visible hair as needed.
Eflora is used alongside — not instead of — your regular hair-removal method. The cream works gradually, so consistency matters more than applying extra product.
Changes may become noticeable within 4 to 8 weeks, although individual results vary. Some people need longer. If treatment is stopped, hair growth may gradually return toward its earlier rate.
Eflora contains eflornithine hydrochloride 13.9% — the same active ingredient and strength used in Vaniqa®.
Eflora and Vaniqa are separately manufactured products. Their inactive ingredients, complete formulations, manufacturers, packaging, and regulatory status may differ.
Wait a few minutes before applying cosmetics or sunscreen. Follow the product label and your healthcare professional’s directions. Do not apply extra cream to make it work faster.
For external use only. Do not use on the scalp, other body areas, broken skin, cuts, burns, or inflamed skin. Avoid the eyes, mouth, and inside of the nose. Rinse with water after accidental contact.
Reported side effects include acne, ingrown-hair bumps, stinging, burning, redness, dryness, itching, tingling, rash, follicle irritation, and temporary hair loss. Stop use and seek medical advice if irritation persists, becomes severe, or signs of hypersensitivity occur.
Do not use if you are allergic to eflornithine or another ingredient. Ask a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in anyone under 18, or with other topical medicines on the same area.
If there is no meaningful improvement after several months, ask the prescribing healthcare professional whether treatment should be continued.
