Does 
eflornithine help women face hirsutism?
Relevant BNF section: 13.9
Many women develop male-pattern facial hair (facial hirsutism), which can be distressing and difficult to treat. 
Eflornithine (Vaniqa – Shire) is a topical cream available only on prescription for treating women with facial hirsutism. Promotional material claims that the treatment "slows facial hair growth – grows her confidence". Does this product have a place in the management of women with hirsutism?
