That's about what I pay, $64 per tube. I'm trying to maximize it's life so am using it once a day now instead of twice, and am still seeing the same results.

I used Vaniqa and spironolactone for 8 months with no result. I remember Vaniqa was over 50 dollars. My doctor does not suspect any hormone imbalances, just a bad case of hereditary hisutism-yuck! Electrolysis worked for me (on my chin and neck) during the two years that I was being treated (in that it lessened the amount, darkness, and coarseness) but grew back just as bad after not being treated for over a year. I am researching laser hair removal (for many areas) but have not tried it...would like to save up the money.

has anyone else had the problem of the skin getting raw from plucking while using vaniqa like Tess? Why would this happen? Is it from applying it too soon after irritating the skin?

I pay $85 a tube.

in Australia vaniqa is (was) between $95 and $115

considering how much Vaniqa costs and how often you have to use it (so you have to buy a lot of it), it might make more sense to invest into permanent hair removal like electrolysis, which wouldn't be any more expensive in my opinion and will get rid of your problem forever.

I would also suggest testing for PCOS or other hormonal disorders if you are a woman with considerable hair growth on your neck and chin.
