Abstract
A method of reducing hair growth includes topical application of a composition including α-difluoromethylornithine and a penetration enhancer. The penetration enhancer may be, for example, a cis-fatty acid, a terpene, a nonionic surfactant, SEPA, a film forming agent, dipropylene glycol dimethylether, cetiol, Captex-300, lauryl alcohol, triacetin, 1-dodecyl-2-pyrrolidanone, or Eston 3601.
