Epila Topical 13.9% Cream 15g – Hair Growth Reduction & Smooth Skin Formula

Description

Epila Topical 13.9% Cream (15g) is a dermatologically tested formulation designed to reduce unwanted facial and body hair growth and promote smoother, clearer skin. Its active ingredient, Eflornithine Hydrochloride (13.9%), works by inhibiting the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase, which is essential for hair growth at the follicular level.

Epila Cream is ideal for women dealing with facial hirsutism (excess facial hair on the upper lip, chin, or cheeks). With regular use, it slows hair regrowth, making hair finer and less visible over time.

It is non-greasy, easy to absorb, and suitable for all skin types under dermatologist supervision.
