Overall, I feel this is a good product. I only use it on my face. There are a few things to note. First the hairs do not seem to grow back too quickly - and some seem not to grow back at all. Seems like I find fewer and fewer on my face. Also, the wax doesn't always completely pull out every hair. There are 2 solutions. You can reuse part of the wax strip to take the stubborn ones off or you can pluck them - I'm guessing that the wax pulls them out partially - at least enough not to feel pain when you pluck them - that's my experience I'm guessing at the reason for it. I really like the oil wipe they provide. It removes excess wax and makes your skin soft. TIP: after using the facial wipe, check again for hairs that did not come completely out. I think when bits of the wax remain on your face they hide a stray hair with it - once the wax is removed you might see another one or two. Will buy again on subscribe and save. Read more

I used to wax my brows all the time then i stopped for a while and plucked them instead. I REALLY hate plucking and you can't get those stubborn small hairs . I saw these on Amazon and they are almost exactly liner what i used to use just a different brand. I was happy to discover they work just as well to. And it's quick, easy, no mess. If I'm using whole strip to remove the peach fuzz that appears around the bottom of fave close to jawline then i just rib out vigorously been my hands for a minute to warm up, pull apart them apply to face smooth in direction of hair growth about 4-5 strokes, then pull skin taught and quickly pull off in opposite direction of hair growth. Works like a charm. If I'm doing my eyebrows, I'll put drop up to my eye then carefully trace exactly where i want to wax hair underneath eyebrow and since it's such a smaller piece, I'll use my hair dryer for a few secs to warm up then remove hair I same manner. I'll use the rest of that strip to do hair between eyes and above eyebrows. The results were perfect as if I'd gone to a salon to have it done but a lot faster. There is some redness after but the oil pads included really calm any irritation and redness fades fast. I know theydon't include enough of the soothing pads(wish they would chance this) but what i do cut a small piece of the pad(enough to smooth over areas i worked on) them i make sure the text of the pad is properly sealed up so it doesn't dry out(I'll usually tape the package shut tightly) and the pads will go much further. If you follow directions and use properly, you shouldn't aquire burns or anything. Make sure you don't heat them up too hot, only smooth them onto skin about 4 times and immediately pull off instead of leaving sit on skin too long before removing. I live this method of hair removal...it lasts a while and the amount of strips will also last me quite some time since a lot of the time i only need 1 strip cut into appropriate pieces to complete what i want done. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants easy, complete removal of hair that doesn't have to be maintained add often as shaving out plucking. I know I'll be sticking with this for the foreseeable future. Read more

I followed the directions well but it didn’t get all of the hair. It also left a sticky residue and tore my skin a little since I had to go over the area again. It did pull away the thicker/darker hairs though. Read more

I am new to waxing and so made sure I read many reviews before using this product the first time. I suggest you read the package directions thoroughly and DO NOT wax the day before any event....even work. I had sketchy results the first time, but found if I warmed the strips first and the area was very clean and very dry, that I had better results the next time. I did get a couple of very tiny pimples, but nothing serious, and now I no longer have this issue. Unfortunately, I do get a few very coarse hairs (and of course they are DARK, and have tweezed them for years) and I was unwilling to let them get to the length that the wax would remove them. If I can live in a cave for a couple of weeks, perhaps the waxing would pull these out as well and they wouldn't return as quickly. For what I expected of waxing...which was to get the finer, lighter colored hairs which are now longer than in the past, I was extremely happy with the product. Read more

These are so great and I always come back to them. I don't know why when we find something that works well, we're still tempted to try new ones that come along, but over the years I have done that and I always come back to these. For simple at-home waxing (i.e. you don't want to have to buy your own heater and beads, etc.), these are the ones to go with. I use them on my upper lip and they work very well (I use the larger-sized ones for the underarms and they're great too). It takes off all the hair in one pull from the section you covered, making it so that one piece (2 strips stuck together) does the job and you're done. There are not as many soothing wipes as there are waxing strips, and because the strips are so efficient, that can be annoying, but I can definitely deal with that. It doesn't leave much of a sticky residue anyway, it just depends on if you ended up placing it well or just a little off (not a big deal either way). I have sensitive skin and my skin is definitely red after, so I wouldn't do it 10 minutes before I was going to go out, but its back to normal within about 30 minutes and there are also no bumps or ingrown hairs or anything like that. Truly great and terrific price for the quality and quantity. Read more

It works well on the thin hairs but has a hard time with coarser hair. Read more
