Hair inhibition cream?

Hi!
Do those hair growth inhibition creams really work? What is your experience?

I am using one, i think it is called Kalo, for an year now but doesnt seem to have effect. in fact i am getting a bit more hairy (which is natural when you shave but the cream is supposed to stop that?)


you put it on a couple of times after you shaved, that when the hair producing proteins are most activated and the cream is supposed to bind with them and block them (forever). it all sounds quite sensible


has anybody used cream which is effective?

I am unsure of the exact mechanism but I believe there is some reaction related to hair growth that can be slowed by the use of such creams which contains enzyme inhibitors. I think you need to remove hair first and this stuff will slow regrowth. In theory it ought to work. I've never tried them.
they barely work at all.
