Wish I would have discovered these sooner!
I have not been officially diagnosed with PCOS or any hormonal problem by a doctor, but I've had problems with unwanted facial hair since puberty. It started as being a little hair above my lip, which is pretty normal for women in my family, but then turned into hair on my chin, jawline, and cheaks that has progressively gotten worse and worse over the years. The hair is the worst on my chin area; it's dark and thick like eyebrow hair. Being that I'm a very light skinned biracial woman, I have had to pluck the hairs in that location every single day. I have lots of dark scars on my chin from ingrown hairs and it's still noticable even with makeup.
I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THESE PILLS!
I've only been taking them a little less than 2 weeks and WOW, what a difference. I was extremely skeptical as to whether or not these would work but being so desperate I decided to try anyway. In this short amount of time, I have noticed an extreme amount of hair reduction. I'm not exaggerating at all. I literally would pluck 10-15 dark coarse hairs out of my chin area daily and have not had to do that anymore. There are a few hairs still there but they aren't growing at the same speed as they would have been prior to the pills. I've noticed a big change in the growth of hair on my upper lip too. My chin area is FINALLY starting to feel smooth instead of touching it and feeling hairs and broken skin from ingrown hairs...I'm shook!
HOW I TAKE THEM:
Ive been taking two pills a day, with a few days only taking one (because I missed my morning pill and am a horrible pill taker so I couldn't get myself to take two at once). Yes, the pills are large but they are gelatin capsules and not tablets, so they go down pretty easy if you drink enough water with them.
I want to also add that in the past few days I've also been drinking Tradional Medicinals spearmint tea as well. I've found that this is a good alternative to taking two pills a day (one pill a day and a cup of tea at night).
WHAT TO EXPECT:
- Don't expect to notice a huge difference the first couple of days, or even the first week. I know some people have said they noticed a difference in a few days but that wasn't the case for me. Not to say you won't experience a difference that quickly, but don't get discouraged if you dont-keep taking them.
- Do expect your burps to taste like spearmint when you first start taking them. For me this was mainly noticable only for the first few days. I don't notice it much now.
- Although I myself haven't noticed any side effects, do understand that everybody's body is different and you may experience some. I've read that some people get headaches.
**Just fyi, i paid for these pills out of my own money and did not receive these in exchange for a review.**
