    substance that slows or reduces hair growth rate

    A Hair Growth Inhibitor, also known as a Hair Growth Suppressant or Hair Growth Retardant, is a substance or treatment designed to slow down or reduce the rate of hair growth. These inhibitors work by targeting the hair follicles, often through chemical or natural ingredients, to disrupt the normal hair growth cycle, making hair grow back finer, lighter, or more slowly. They are commonly used in conjunction with hair removal methods like waxing or shaving to prolong the smoothness of the skin.
