I have used both Veet and Nair with no side effects like burning or anything. The one think you really need to make sure you do with these types of creams is definitely not use to little cream to where you are trying to stretch it to a larger area that it is somewhat causing you to rub it in. 4-6 pumps is a correct amount for one leg. You always need enough cream on your leg. I also don't use the scraper that comes with this because I don't prefer it and feel it takes to long. I just jump in the shower right after and use an old washcloth and just wipe off the cream and all the hair comes with it and your legs are silky smooth and look AMAZING! If you used enough cream, the hair should come off with barely any rubbing at all. maybe a couple swipes with the washcloth to get all the cream off and it should be perfect! The results last for a while because if you use enough cream, the hair is removed under your skin and down to the root of your hair. I definitely recommend using this because it works so great and there is no real accuracy involved with applying and removing! Read more

I love my pubic area completely devoid of hair. It is healthier and more attractive. Unfortunately, I get razor bumps and ingrown hairs so most methods of hair removal are not attractive options for me. I turned to Veet in the hope of a miracle. I read other customer reviews and I followed up with epil stop after I used it. The results were remarkable. The hair is not removed as closely as waxing would achieve but, in a matter of minutes, most of the hair was gone. I had no irritation and very, very few ingrown hairs after. I will use this product as long as it is available. It works best if the hairs are not too long so, for those using it on the bikini area, trim a little if the hairs down there are at a length you are able to easily braid. Also, be sure not to exceed the time limit (I keep it on for a maximum of thirteen minutes) or else it will cause the skin to break. I know they warn not to use it beyond the bikini line but I learnt a trick from another reviewer which has enabled me to cover my entire pubic area with the cream. On the sensitive skin along the inside of the labia, smear with petroleum jelly. It creates a barrier between the cream and your skin preventing harm. However, it is imperative that, if used this way, the recommended stay-time is not exceeded. Read more

Ahhhh! No more shaving for me! I have used hair removal creams before and they stink. I tried waxing but didn't get the results I wanted and it hurt like heck. I'm glad I went to this product because not only do I have no skin irritation but my legs feel soft moisturised and the best part is most of my hair is gone. Yes I do have a little bit of stubble here and there but probably because I didn't put on a thick enough layer. Otherwise the process was easy and the scraping spatula is really cool and really does get the maximum amount of hair off. My legs do not feel like they are on fire I felt just a little baby tingle but that's to be expected and it just felt as if it was more of a cooling sensation. After you scrape off the cream and rinse off your legs it really is amazing. I would definitely buy this again. Read more

I've been using Veet hair remover for years - no other hair remover comes close to working as well. But don't do what I have done a couple of times and leave it on for even a minute too long, or you'll be in trouble! It works VERY quickly, and there's a definite difference between 6 minutes and 7 minutes - a mistake I made last night when I used it "down there." I was on fire after rinsing it off! Oh, and although it says not to rub it off (or use soap), there's no way you can remove the hair without rubbing it off - even the strongest rinse from a handheld shower head won't blast it all away, and you can't get rid of all that slimy product if you don't use SOMETHING other than water. To avoid irritation (plus get my washcloth covered with yucky hair), I mixed up brown sugar and olive oil before I got in the shower and used that to rub off the area. As I said, I left the product on too long which irritated "certain areas," so the sugar helped make that feel better. And I know this sounds weird, but then I used an alcohol-free rosemary and sage conditioner to "clean" my skin to get rid of the product residue - and to get rid of that awful hair remover odor. (No matter what these companies tell you, there's no getting away from that odor.) I had to use Bactine afterward to soothe my skin, but as I said, totally my fault. I would give this product 5 stars if it didn't have such an awful odor. Not because I expected a hair remover NOT to have an awful odor, but because Veet claims this product has a "fresh" scent. The first thing my husband asked when he got home was, "Did you use depilatory?" That should tell you something. Anyway, I recommend this hair remover product over all others - the depilatories at least. Waxing is a whole other thing. Read more
