There's only one cream that gets rid of hair, and its called Vaniqa. Anything else is going to be a scam.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eflornithine

Its extremely expensive, very slow to work, and hair comes back quickly when you stop. I think it might be a prescription medicine but I'm not sure.

I tried it a while ago, but didn't use it long enough to get any effect.

I would like to know how a cream that isnt going under your skin is going to kill a hair below said skin

The product promoted in the original post simply dissolves hair, like many over-the-counter hair removal treatments, and does not affect the hair follicle.  An active follicle will continue to be active, and the hair 'bulb' will eventually extend the hair past the surface of the skin again.  The fine print does mention that this works by dissolving the hair.

Vaniqa or Eflornithine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eflornithine) will slow hair growth after several weeks of twice-daily application.  It eventually penetrates the skin and mucks with the chemistry in the hair follicle to slow it down.  The effect isn't permanent, and the active follicles will return to full-speed hair production several weeks after stopping it.

You would probably have better luck with a lawn mower. >:-)
