Slow Grow Cream (Eflornithine HCl 12% / Niacinamide 3%) - 30 g Facial Cream is a compounded prescription topical formulated to slow the rate of unwanted facial hair growth, making regrowth finer, slower, and less noticeable over time.

This custom-formulated cream pairs a proven hair-growth inhibitor with a barrier-supporting ingredient so it stays comfortable on facial skin with long-term daily use.

Key Active Ingredients:

Eflornithine HCl (12%) - inhibits ornithine decarboxylase, the enzyme hair follicles depend on to produce new hair, slowing the rate of unwanted facial hair growth (hirsutism).

Niacinamide (3%) - supports skin barrier health and may help reduce inflammation and irritation, offering a balanced formula suitable for long-term use on sensitive facial skin.

How It Works:

Eflornithine does not remove hair that is already present - it slows the follicle's ability to produce new hair. With consistent twice-daily use, regrowth becomes slower and finer, so hair removal is needed less often. Niacinamide balances the formula so the skin tolerates ongoing daily treatment.

Benefits:

Slows the rate of unwanted facial hair regrowth

Makes regrowth finer and less noticeable

Reduces how often shaving, waxing, tweezing, or threading is needed

Supports patients managing hirsutism related to PCOS or hormonal imbalance

Niacinamide helps calm irritation and protect the skin barrier

Topical Cream - Application Instructions

Cleanse the face gently and pat dry before applying

Dispense 1 pump (0.5 g) and apply a thin layer to the affected areas of the face and under the chin, rubbing in thoroughly

Apply twice daily, at least 8 hours apart

Do not wash the treated area for at least 4 hours after applying

Wait at least 5 minutes after shaving or other hair removal before applying

Continue your usual hair removal routine - this cream slows regrowth, it does not remove hair that is already present

Makeup and sunscreen may be applied once the cream has fully absorbed

Mild stinging, burning, redness, dryness, or small bumps may occur, especially in the first few weeks - reduce to once daily if irritation persists and contact the office

Do not apply to broken, sunburned, or actively irritated skin

Avoid contact with the eyes, lips, and mucous membranes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water

Wash hands after each application

Allow at least 8 weeks of consistent twice-daily use before judging results; if treatment is stopped, hair typically returns to its previous rate of growth
