Ok. This is one of those items marketed for men, but we gals can use it too. Now... I'm not a dermatologist nor do I work in a beauty salon. I just like trying out different products. I have dark and coarse/hard to remove/quick to grow back hair. As in I could shave my legs in the AM and by evening, I feel stubble. Even with the best razors and taking my time to do it right. I've used this on my legs and the results are nice. Legs are smooth, softer, and most of the hair is gone, like 95%. Then I'd wait a day or so and finish the rest. Now... I also use this on my face. Similar hair issues as my legs. And I've tried other hair removal gels/creams and similar results like shaving, but maybe a day or two the stubble comes back. But with this, verrrrrrrrry burning (they are chemicals, so yeah there's something, but not much). Skin is softer. Very little irritation. And the results are more even and lasts about a week. Only use this on your face if you have legit stubborn hairs that don't wanna go anywhere. Only leave this on for 3 min, maybe 4 max or you'll be sorry. I've used this 3 times and no major issues. And if you feel the need to put on a plain moisturizer or lotion or oil like jojoba or almond or olive oil afterwards, do so. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. My skin is ok either way. Read more
Used as directed (max 10 minutes contact time), I have had zero problems using this. Certainly no irritation from the chemical on my sensitive areas. Any irritation is from the included plastic scraper used in the shower to finish the removal. My method is to apply first to the less sensitive skin, e.g. the groin area from the waistband to the top of the shaft. Then I apply to the scrotum and base of the shaft. I apply liberally to make sure there is sufficient cream to get the job done. Once all areas are covered, I leave it on for 10 minutes per the instructions. That's just enough time for a beard trimming and cleanup. After the 10 minutes is up, I jump in the shower and wash off the visible cream, and then use the scraper and a wash rag to remove the softened hair. I was reluctant to try this, but now I am sold on it! After a day in the woods and brush (I play disc golf, but not very well), tick checks are much easier! Read more
It works as claimed. It took the maximum time of 10 minutes for me. No skin irritation was evident. BUT this product gets its claimed 48 hours of skin hydration by leaving a coating on your skin that is very difficult to remove. If left to do what the manufacturer intended, it feels slightly sticky until you've had at least two more showers with intense scrubbing. Read more
Follow the directions and it works great. FYI, get someone else to apply it to your back or you’ll go over the time. Anywhere else, 1 man job. Too little time = not all hair removed. Too much time feels like dry skin - very mild sunburn for couple hours. Pump top is excellent feature. Makes application faster and less messy. Don’t put on tiny thin layer like lotion. It won’t get the job done. Use more, like Vaseline on a cut or mayonnaise on a sammich. Not for pubes, crack, eyebrows, eyelashes, or nose hair! You’re gonna have a bad time! Don’t cry, pumpkin. You were warned. Read more
You should know that while this product works, it is also likely cheating you out of about 45% of the product every time you use one. Read on for detail. The pump stops pumping at about half way down the container, which I've cut open to show you in my images. This is the same for this product and the pink women's 5 minute version. You'll notice the feed tube for the pump only goes about half way down the container, making it physically impossible for it to pump the second half of the container out. The only way to get the rest is to cut the (very thick) plastic bottle open, then cut the bag open to get to it's contents. As the third picture of the scales show, you're wasting about 6.5oz of product if you are throwing it away when it stops pumping. Being that the container is only 13.5oz, you're probably buying about twice the amount you need to. VERY scummy product design. Buyer BEWARE. The product does work as advertised, its hard to get a balance between time applied and chemical burns, for me its about 12 minutes for this product which is two minutes more than the max they recommend, so don't do that, but be aware it might not work as described for you.

This is the first time I have tried a product like this. I was worried about skin irritation after reading some of the other reviews. I had quite a lot of hair on the center of my chest going down to my belly. I put the product on and after about 5-6 minutes started scrapping it off with the provided spatula. The hair came right off. There was no pain, no tingling, nothing at all. The result was very smooth, soft skin. After a couple of days the stubble started growing back but that is expected. I also ended up having a few red dots all over my chest and belly later that day. They didn't hurt or itch, but were noticeable. Like some of the follicles were reacting to the chemicals, but when I woke up the next morning almost all of the spots were gone. Again, I never experienced any kind of pain, sensitivity, itching or anything. It was a surprisingly good experience, was super easy to use and worked amazingly well. Hopefully the second time using it will go as smoothly as the first. I'll probably try it again after a couple of weeks depending on how fast the hair grows back. I believe I'm on day 4 now though and you still can't see any hair (although you can feel it starting to grow back in). Read more
This works incredible for bikini line hair removal!! Recommend wiping off after 8 minutes and WOW!! Game changer!! Read more
Works fine, but if you don't have terribly sensitive skin get the normal stuff. This just doesn't remove as well and requires much longer sit time. Read more
