Some estimates put the number at around 50 million for women in the USA concerned about facial hair removal. Unwanted facial hair around the lips or under the chin is perceived by many to be undesirable and for a woman, it can affect her self-confidence and feelings of femininity.
As a result, waxing kits, sugaring pastes, tweezers, and threading procedures are in great demand. Many women choose to use wax or sugaring paste or tweezers themselves at home. These methods are inexpensive although they need repeating every few weeks depending on the rate of hair growth.
What if there was a way though to make home facial hair removal sessions easier. Specifically, what if the hair didn't grow back so fast, and when it did it, what if it was finer and much easier to pluck or remove with wax or sugaring paste?
For many years various personal care and pharmaceutical companies did research on this problem. In the year 2000 an announcement was made that a cream was now available, especially for facial hair removal for women, which would slow down hair growth so facial hair removal sessions would not be so frequent.
