Hi I don't take any tablets or creams but do use home laser for a hair removal treatment and it has reduced excessive hair growth on my face by 75% in a year. It's an ongoing treatment though.

I’ve been using desogestrel (progesterone only pill) and waxing. It kinda helped a lot in reducing hair on how it used to be before. With waxing my hair usually takes 2-3 weeks to go. But I don’t wax my face just shave it 🙈 Now I started spironolactone, it has been almost 2 weeks. Haven’t shaved yet to see changes. Waiting on my next wax app. So will update you on that. I have my eye on vaniqa for the face will call my doctor to prescribe it for me for the face. I noticed for everyone everything works differently. So is best to try different popular techniques and creams until you find the one that suit you best.

Honestly, I just shave mine. 🪒
I get eflonathine cream off the doctor which slows down the hair growth. You can ask to be referred to a specialist to find medications to help I'm going to see one next week.

Another user found that getting on the right birth control was a game changer for them, specifically mentioning Yaz as the one that helped clear up their excessive hair growth.
