Why PCOS Causes Unwanted Facial Hair

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects millions of Indian women, and one of its most visible symptoms is excessive facial hair growth. This happens due to hormonal imbalances, especially higher levels of androgens (male hormones) that stimulate thicker, darker hair growth.

The most common areas affected include:

• Chin and jawline
• Upper lip
• Sideburns
• Neck

For many women, this leads to a cycle of frequent waxing, shaving, or threading, which only gives short-term results and can worsen skin irritation, ingrown hairs, and pigmentation.

 Common Treatments for PCOS Facial Hair (and Their Limitations)

• Laser Hair Removal – Effective long term, but costly, painful for sensitive skin, and requires multiple sessions
• Waxing & Threading – Provide instant results but cause skin irritation, breakouts, and darkening with repeated use.
• Hormonal Medications – Can help regulate androgens but are not always safe for long-term use and may have side effects.

While these methods work temporarily, women are increasingly searching for safe, at-home alternatives that can gradually reduce hair growth without harsh side effects.

Natural & At-Home Solutions for PCOS Hair Growth

Dermatologists recommend shifting to routine-based skincare treatments that weaken hair growth over time instead of aggressive removal. Natural actives like.

• Gymnema Sylvestre Extract – Weakens hair roots and slows regrowth.
• Aloe Vera & Chamomile – Calm sensitive skin and reduce inflammation post hair removal.
• Niacinamide – Repairs skin barrier, reduces irritation, and prevents pigmentation caused by repeated shaving/waxing.

This is why Hair Retardant Creams are gaining popularity in India — offering a gentle, clinically tested way to reduce hair growth naturally.

 Building a Complete PCOS Facial Hair Routine

Managing PCOS facial hair is not just about removal — it’s about soothing, protecting, and preventing side effects. Pair your retardant cream with:

• Gentle Cleanser – Avoid harsh soaps. (Try: Perenne Sulphate-Free Aqua Restoration Face Wash)
• Barrier Repair Moisturizer – PCOS skin is often acne-prone and sensitive. (Try: Perenne Barrier Skin Repair Intensive Restorative Cream)
• Daily Sunscreen – Protects skin from pigmentation post hair removal. (Try: Perenne Glow Booster Invisible Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++)
