For Hers

For Hers was launched in 2018 as a part of the telehealth company Hims & Hers Health.

Similar to Hims, which offers online consultations, prescriptions, medications, and supplements for men, Hers is all about providing basic medical support quickly and conveniently for women.

To purchase prescription medications from the website you must first create a profile and then you will be connected with a licensed medical doctor via their online platform.

All medical doctors working with Hers are board-certified and can provide you with accurate diagnosis and treatment according to your symptoms and complaints.

How Does Hers Work?

You can start either by creating your profile or shop as a guest. If you need medical consultation and possibly a prescription you will have to complete a medical questionnaire first. Any information you share will be protected by encryption.

You will have to answer questions about your health and lifestyle, as well as provide information on your medical history and current symptoms.

You’ll need a government-issued ID, photo, and credit card on hand so the doctor knows who they are treating.

Depending on your health problem and the medications required for treatment you may have to sign for a subscription or pay for medical consultation.

Then a licensed healthcare professional will reach out to you within 24 hours and you can schedule your online consultation, or start it right away via chat depending on the state you live in.

Some states allow for telehealth consultations via chat while others require a pre-scheduled video or phone call. Currently, For Hers is licensed in all 50 US states to provide online healthcare services.

Usually, your doctor will remain available to answer any follow-up questions you may have via the chat on the website’s platform.

Your prescription as well as any medications purchased via the website will be shipped to you discreetly and for free. Your order will arrive within 5 to 7 business days.

What Makes Hers Different?

Hers is currently the best telehealth platform for women in the US. It allows for consultation, diagnosis, and treatment of the most common female-specific health problems without having to leave your home.

What is more, your consultation will begin within 24 hours of you signing for one. No more waiting rooms, no more crowded medical offices, and no more awkward visits to the pharmacy.

Another important factor is that Hers is made from women for women. You will consult with an entirely female team of doctors, so you may share your problems without discomfort.

For Hers also offer subscription options for almost all their products which is a huge time saver. If you need medication on a monthly basis, you can subscribe to Hers and the medication will be shipped to your door.

Hers Products

Hers Hair Care

Hers offers products for hair growth, strengthening, and repair. The main product for hair growth by Hers is Minoxidil.

Minoxidil is a generic medication approved by the FDA for treatment against hair loss in both men and women. It is a non-prescription medication, also popular under the brand name Rogaine.

Generic minoxidil by Hers is available as a standard 5% solution (drops) or foam for topical use.

Minoxidil’s effectiveness against hair loss is clinically proven. It works by dilating the blood vessels in the scalp and increasing the blood supply to your hair follicles.

It may also stimulate various growth factors and cell proliferation, which may have a positive effect on hair growth.

Beware that the medication can cause increased shedding during the first month. However, these are the old and thin hairs that will be eventually replaced by new, thicker hair. Best effects occur after 3-6 months of use.

Hers also offers hair loss shampoo and conditioner, hair mask, and scalp scrub which are supposed to strengthen your hair.

In addition, For Hers offers a prescription FDA-approved product for stimulating the growth of eyelashes. It’s proven to be clinically effective when applied on a daily basis to the skin of the upper eyelid.

Make sure to apply it each evening after washing your face and removing makeup (and contact lenses). You will see some benefits as soon as the 4th week while maximum results occur after the 4th month.

Hers Skin Care

The skin care options include products against acne and skin aging.

For Hers offers a prescription acne cream, which contains FDA-approved ingredients such as tretinoin (a form of vitamin A) and clindamycin (an antibiotic).

Tretinoin stimulates cell renewal, while the antibiotic kills the bacteria that may lead to inflammation in people with acne.

In addition, the cream contains azelaic acid, which has antibacterial effects as well and may help evening out hyperpigmentation or scars triggered by acne. The addition of zinc has anti-inflammatory effects.

The tretinoin can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so you may have to use it before going to bed (if prescribed once daily) or in combination with sunscreen in the morning (if prescribed twice daily).

In addition, Hers offers a non-prescription cleanser and moisturizer to help with any skin irritation and other symptoms or side effects.

The anti-aging cream by Hers is available only with a prescription that contains glycolic acid, salicylic acid, retinol, retinyl palmitate, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. The cream has an exfoliating effect.

Hers Birth Control and Sexual Health

For Hers offers a wide range of birth control pills including, monophasic, biphasic, triphasic, extended cycle, and progestin-only contraceptives for women.

They are all prescription medications that you may purchase after your online medical consultation. Hers will connect you with an expert OB/GYN who is licensed in your state.

Hers also got you covered in case of infections such as yeast infections or herpes.

In case of a yeast infection, you can purchase miconazole with an applicator for intravaginal use without a prescription.

If you have herpes, then your doctor may prescribe your valacyclovir. This is a prescription medication that is extremely effective when used during the first signs of break out such as a cold sore.

Hers also offers a dietary supplement with cranberry extract which may help reduce the risk of urinary infections such as urethritis.

In addition, For Hers can provide you with OTC products such as condoms, lubricants, climax delay sprays, and sex toys.

Hers Primary Care

For Hers offers primary care medical services for infections, allergies, rashes, migraines, shoulder and neck tenderness.

Soon, the primary care options will also cover indigestion, acid reflux, and other gastrointestinal problems.

If the healthcare provider prescribes a treatment, you’ll be able to select a local pharmacy where you’d like to pick it up. That pharmacy will fill your prescription, and you should pick it up in person when it’s ready.

Hers Mental Health

Hers offers medical consultations with a licensed psychiatrist, online therapy, anonymous support groups, and a wide range of antidepressants and anxiolytics which are available only with a prescription.

In addition, your doctor may prescribe you propranolol – a beta-blocker, which can be taken off-label for performance anxiety.

Hers Supplements

Currently, there are two supplements available by Hers – collagen for skin health and biotin for hair strength.

The hydrolyzed collagen peptides by Hers can help with skin health as well as muscle recovery after training.

The biotin gummies contain vitamin B3, B6, B9, B12, and vitamin D. They can help reduce excess hair shedding, strengthen your nails, and prevent vitamin deficiencies.

Hers Pricing

Hers offers services and FDA-approved medications at prices that are often more than 75% lower than what you’d pay with a traditional doctor and pharmacy. What is more, most first-time purchases come with a huge discount.

On average, most products cost between $10 to $100 per month. For example, the cost of birth-control plans starts at $12 per month. The cost of the consultation with a licensed medical professional, such as a primary care visit is $39.

For Hers Reviews

The brand has a 2.8/5 score in ProductHunt and a 2.7/5 score in TrustPilot. Unfortunately, there are only a few reviews available. Furthermore, there are no reviews on Hers website since medical services are confidential.

Most negative reviews on ProductHunt and TrustPilot are complaining of slow customer service.

However, I was able to come across the following reviews of Hers that were specific to its hair and skin care services.

Hers Hair Reviews

Xin Yeh, via Producthunt:

“Hair loss has always been an issue for me after moving to the US. Got tons of hair lost in the shower. Scary! Then I learnt that not washing my hair on a daily basis helped, but then the problem is I hate greasy hair!!! I tried Fekkai full-blown, I like it! It allows me to wash my hair once every 2 days without getting greasy. The Hers shampoo somehow allows me to wash my hair every 3 days without getting greasy and less hair loss during my shower. Besides, it smells good, too.”
