I regularly remove hair from my legs by waxing and one of the biggest drawbacks was the development of ingrown hairs. These gave horrible red spots all on my legs and thighs and even left scarring when I picked at them. I really did not want to stop waxing my legs as I hate stubble from razors and can't afford laser hair removal. I bought a bottle of Tend Skin online and used it twice daily for 2 weeks. It is a solution that you moisten a cotton wool ball with and wipe over the affected area. After the first 4 days the red spots had gone and after 7 days I could actually see previously ingrown hairs growing out on to the skin surface. I now use the solution once every other day to prevent ingrown hairs appearing. I really cannot recommend this product enough. The only minor drawback is the smell- vinegar- but this does not linger and no-one can smell it on you. Dry skin also occurs quite quickly so although I recommend using it on my legs if someone is purchasing it to use on their face they need to be wary of this. Another advantage is that I now don't have to bother with bodyscrubs on my legs as all I do is wipe the solution on. A small bottle lasted me about 2 months which was well worth the cost (£12). Superb product!

Shame they can't add something to give it a nicer smell! I don't really suffer with ingrown hairs so not one for me but I'm glad you found a solution for your problem!
Advantages: Very light, gives skin a glow, pump action bottle to reduce excess Disadvantages: only really being the price BUT it is COMPLETELY worth the money
