Keramene is the result of years of scientific research on the hair follicle physiology, to reduce unwanted facial and body hair. This unique formula works through two principal pathways, first by inhibiting the follicular anagen phase, inducing the catagen state of the hair follicle to stop hair from growing and then by suppressing keratinocyte production so that existing hair grows slower and thinner. Consequently, many hairs never grow, and many hairs grow to a lesser degree. Such an action on the hair cycle reduces the number of hairs and impairs their quality, eventually reducing the need for depilation and shaving. It is formulated with vitamin E for protecting and conditioning benefits and witch hazel water to help prevent ingrown hairs.
