As someone who has tried various at-home bleaching products, I was intrigued by the promise of "extra strength." The packaging is straightforward, containing a cream, an activator powder, a mixing tray, and a spatula. The instructions are clear and easy to mix. The mixture has a noticeable but not overpowering scent. Applying the bleach was kinda tricky at first because once you cover a spot you can’t fix it no more. I primarily used this product for facial hair. I left the bleach on for the recommended 8-10 minutes but found it didn’t work since my hair is really dark so I left it for an extra 5 mins. The product was effective. After rinsing, the hair was lightened to a pale blonde, almost disappearing against my skin tone. It worked exactly as advertised, successfully bleaching even the thicker hairs. However, I did notice a slight tingling sensation during the process, which is to be expected with a product of this nature. My skin was a little red immediately after, but this subsided within an hour. Value & Conclusion: For its price, the Sally Hansen Extra Strength Creme Bleach offers excellent value. A single box provides multiple applications, making it a very cost-effective solution for managing unwanted hair. It delivers on its promise of fast, effective bleaching. While the "extra strength" formula might be a bit intense for very sensitive skin, the instructions advise doing a patch test, which is a crucial step to avoid any severe irritation. Overall, it's a reliable and efficient product that I would recommend to anyone looking for an affordable and quick solution for bleaching body or facial hair. Read more

Used to use regular bleach on my arms and let me tell you this stuff is nice. It smells better, works just as fast, and you only get a little bubbly bleach feeling. I have almost black hair and in like 5-6 mins it turned blonde. Wayyyy more bearable and I didn’t get a skin reaction 10/10 Read more
I’ve been using this product for about two weeks now and really like how gentle it feels on my skin. It doesn’t burn or dry out my face like some other treatments do. The scent is mild, and the texture is smooth and easy to apply. I noticed a visible difference in my skin clarity within a few days — breakouts are less frequent, and my skin looks healthier. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because it takes consistent use to see results — not an overnight fix. But overall, it’s a great product and worth trying! Read more
This facial hair bleach works perfectly fine. I obviously needed to do a couple different sections so I can get the color I was going for if you're black this will perfectly work for you. I would just recommend dye it after you get the car you want just the hairs are more visible because when you bleach, your hair, technically in dark skin is not very visible and it wasn't for me the first and second time I made the process I didn't even get any compliments till the third time, but the instructions are really easy. I love it. I will definitely keep buying this. Read more
BEST ONE EVER!!! I’ve been using this for 4+ years, I will never use any other brand. I have dark brown hair and a lottt of it. Yes it starts tingling your arms and you gotta wave them around a little towards the end. But it is not unbearable at all. I just keep checking my hair by swiping my finger until I get the color I want then wash off. It’s so quick and easy love love love!!! Read more
The OG formula was something my mom and aunt used for decades before my sister and I started using it. My aunt called it “the poor woman’s facial” because it did a great job of making the face look bright and refreshed. For the past 16 years I’ve been loyal to the original and never had a problem. However, this new reformulation is very strong! My sister warned me that she got a chemical burn from the sally Hansen, but I’ve been using for years it’s been fine. Well, she didn’t tell me it was the new version, and I didn’t realize that that’s what I ordered. It burns soooo much. Although it is more convenient, I would much rather have the old formula back. I’m afraid to use it because it burned so badly and I could tell my skin was having a bad reaction. After seeing my sister’s awful burn, I’m not going to risk it. It’s such a shame because this product was once a staple in my beauty routine. Read more
Product box and contents were in great condition. I read the instructions, then I applied it once, twice, three times in one day, and so far it has partially worked. I still see 50% of previous leg hair tone. I do not have thick leg hair nor any dermatology issue. Read more
