If I was asked to describe Hair No More in one sentence I would say it shouldn't be called ‘Hair No More' but ‘No More Skin' because you are hairless but have no skin either. I would absolutely advise anybody NOT to use this product - I did and I ended up in casualty.
So What Exactly Is ‘Hair No More'? Although the title is fairly self-explanatory this is not your usual hair removal cream, it is a hair removal system which includes a hair removal cream and a spray inhibitor. You apply the hairremoval
cream first and then once hair is washed off you spray on the spray inhibitor to prevent hair growing back. It is available exclusively through a company called ‘Beauty News', Cremers Road, Euro House, Eurolink Ind. Est, Dolphin Park, Sittingbourne, Kent, ME10 3US.
What Attracted ME To ‘Hair No More'? I battled with writing this report as I don't think hair removal is an issue most women want to discuss, but my conscience got the better of me as I did not want other people to undergo the suffering I have. I saw the advert in a Chat magazine and what appealed to me was the fact that after a couple of times using this product it would stop the hair from growing back. I hate the smell of Nair, Immac etc and so this was a bonus of this product, so I thought, only having to use a product like this a couple of times. The advert had before and after photos and testimonials which were very impressive and appearing in Chat magazine I assumed they were a reputable company, how wrong I was (I will go into this in further detail further on in this report.)
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: I tried a test patch just under my lip with no reaction, so the next day I tried the product on a larger area - my neck and side of face, and I only left the product on for about 60 seconds and I could feel my face burning; in fact it felt like my skin was literally on fire. Quickly washing the product off I looked in the mirror and I could see my entire skin where I had put the cream on was a deep purple. Although I was in a lot of pain at this point, I just assumed the redness and pain would go away and was not too worried.
After waiting for about four hours for the pain and appearance of my skin to subside my skin had not improved and in fact looked like it was getting worse as I could hardly move my neck with the pain and my temperature was rocketing and I was going really dizzy with the pain. By this point my mother took one horrified look at my skin and rushed me into casualty. As you can imagine, not only was I in pain but at the height of embarrassment with everyone knowing I used hair remover cream.
I could have coped with the pain if I could have just been told that I would get better, but after going to see the doctor I was told that he could not be sure that there would be no scarring and he said I should sue for plastic surgery. The doctor told me I had suffered an acid burn. A year later my skin has cleared up completely but you can imagine the distress of not knowing whether I might need plastic surgery. For the next few months after it happened I was unable to socialise with my friends because of the state of my skin. It also made sleeping very difficult because my skin was so painful.
What Happened Then...? Despite writing and phoning Beauty News several times I only actually got to speak to someone once and then I got fobbed off with the excuse ‘that their company was looking into what happened to my skin.' It is a year ago now that this happened and they have not even written with an apology so I would definitely not purchase ANY goods from them again as they still sell Hair No More and so in my opinion they do not care for their consumers. I feel I have wasted my time writing numerous letters and sending off photos of my skin at the hospitals request to Beauty News because not ONE letter have I received from them. I wonder if they've ever even heard of customer service because if I try phoning them they tell me someone will ring back which they never do.
WHAT I WILL DO NEXT? My next step is to contact Chat Magazine because I am sure they are unaware that they are allowing such an unscrupulous company to advertise in their magazine, hopefully this will prevent them from placing further adverts to attract unsuspecting victims. I will also contact Trading Standards.
OVERALL ADVICE: DO NOT BUY ‘HAIR NO MORE'!!

Sounds like you had a really horrible experience with this product! Not to negate this, but I have also used this (albeit not on my face) and did not have the reaction you had.

Thank you for posting your informative and detailed review. I once tried hair removal cream under my arms and "good grief the pain!" Never again. Well down for letting us know not to spend money on this expensive item. Incidentally laser treatment is much kinder to your skin if you can afford it and are of the right skin type.
