Amazon has spearmint pills 500mg I take the amount suggested 2 3x daily and in the two weeks I’ve been on it it’s crazy how much it’s slowed the growth down. Also shave with “to beard or not to beard by posh” and Harry’s razors

You can also get a prescription cream called Vaniqa. My Dr has offered it to me a few times but she said it only works as long as you put it on. As soon as you stop it goes back to how it was. I was looking for something more permanent so haven’t tried it.

I know how you feel. I have hair everywhere a man would have it plus my back. I use nair but I use a hair inhibator that helped my face. I've got to get it started on other parts of my body.

I tried laser and it didn't work for me. I have to shave mine every day. I've found that unscented shave gels and venus razors with the 5 blades are the only things that dont make it look worse. Hope you find something.
