I had problems with hair on my upper lip, chin, cheeks. It wasn’t terminal hair, but it was dark and quite strong, way beyond the usual peach fuzz. I had to pluck/wax/ bleach weekly to keep it under control. Now I pluck the upper lip hair every three weeks or so (it’s not nearly as much as 6 months ago), and use a facial Braun epilator once a month (it doesn’t hurt because there’s hardly any hair real left to pluck). The hair on my cheeks is very short now, (1-2 mm), blonde, very soft - I can’t even feel it. Haven’t noticed any side effects yet, it tingles only if I use it right after plucking (which one’s not supposed to do anyway). Initially I applied Vaniqa twice a day, but about 2 months ago, someone on the forum wrote she uses it only once a day or every other day. That worked for me, too! You can also use it on moistened face to spread it better. Good luck!
