Ok I have always shaved my legs in the past, I have tried creams and gels but have given up after the first go as I found they didn’t work, I have also tried having them waxed, but that just isn’t going to happen again much to painful for my liking, but to be honest I am sick and tired of shaving now, it doesn’t last long and the hairs grow back prickly, so when I saw Veet in - showerhair removal cream advertised on T.V I thought I’m going to give this one a go and see how I get on.
I brought the Green one which is for Dry Skin and of I went. Veet in shower cream dissolves the hair so no need to shave.
You apply the cream before you enter the shower, you do this by using the sponge
that comes with it, apply the cream to the coloured side of the sponge which is the soft side, then it says to wait a minute before you enter the shower, well I was pottering round my bedroom getting my clothes ready so I had it on for about 2 or 3 minutes before I got in the shower.
It does say that the cream has a water resisting properties which prevent it from being washed off, although it does state that traces may be washed off. OK this is not entirely true. Before I used this product I read though the instructions thoroughly and it does also say, to prevent the cream from being washing off to soon do not stand in in the direct stream of the water, well I thought, what is the point in being in the shower then ? Anyway the water does wash more then traces away, infact I had large areas on my legs with no cream on at all, but I carried on with the procedure.
With the sponge using the white side of it because it is slightly rougher to the coloured side, in a circular movement remove the rest of the cream this will also remove the hair, and then just rinse off.
Most of the hair was removed but not all of it, but the way I look at it is I have shaved my legs for as long as I can remember and when it grows back, it is much thicker, then if you waxed or used a cream, so the more you use it your hair will become a lot softer in turn it will become a lot easier to remove with the cream.
Even though first time around it did not remove all the hair it did leave my skin a whole lot softer to the touch.
Second time around about 5 days later, I did the same procedure, this time I stayed out of the shower for 3 - 4 minuets and then got in, then did the circular motion again with the sponge, this time I was a lot more impressed with the results, whether it was because my hair was not as coarse and I stayed out of the shower for a couple of extra minutes but it did remove all of it, and after wards my legs felt really smooth.
I know it says it is an in shower cream, but to honest it isn’t really, the T.V advert is a bit misleading, the person in the advert has lots of cream on her legs whilst in the shower but this really isn’t the case, but saying that by using the cream time and time again it does work, it does remove the hair which is what it is supposed to do, so that part of it is correct.
Oh by the way I do not own a power shower, so if you do have one I think it is safe to say you will have little chance of any cream staying on.

Pro Points for this product.
1. My legs are hair free. 2. They are a lot smoother. 3. Smells lovely 4. No more shaving. (That is a big plus point) 5. I can go a week or longer between each application now. (When I was shaving it was every 3 or 4 days) 6. Hair grows back I lot finer and softer.
And finally
6. No more prickly legs.
Negative Points for this product.
1. It isn’t really an in shower cream as a lot of it does wash off. 2. Price maybe a bit off putting, but saying that by the time you take into account the price of razors and depending which one you use and shaving creams and gels. E.G some razors can cost up to £5.99 just for the unit itself then you have buy the blades which can cost up to £8.99 for 4 then actually this works out a lot cheaper, and the results are a lot better.
So there are a lot more Plus points then negative ones.
Veet in shower comes in 2 different varieties:
Shea Butter and Lily petals - for dry skin, which protects and moisturises your skin, this is the one I have and I does smell lovely and fresh. This is the green one. Wheat-germ Oil and Orchid - for normal skin, this is the pink one.
Never leave the cream on for longer then 6 minutes. And do not apply before 72 hours of each application.
Oh yes another fact I would like to point out is do not apply broken of sore skin. Why? Because I brought a new pair of boots and I didn’t realise before hand but the top of the boots had rubbed the inside of my legs, they only way I found out was after I had washed the cream off, my god did it sting, and for quiet a while afterwards as well.
Other precautions that you should take into account when using this product are:- Not to be used on moles, or sunburn. Test a small amount on you skin at least 24 hours before use. Wait 24 hour hours after swimming or sun bathing Avoid contact with you eyes.
This product can be used on your legs, under arms, and bikini line but no where else.
~ Cost ~
Sainsburys sell it for £5.99 for a 150ml tube Asda £5.99 Tesco Special offer £4.49 Boots Special offer £4.49
~Packaging ~
It comes in a plastic package which is green and white at the back, the tube itself is green and white with Veet written across the front, I found it easy to hold and easy to squeeze the cream out as it is a soft plastic tube, the cream is a very light bluey green colour but depending what light you are in it does look almost white and not at all greasy.
Any other information that you would like would be available at www.veet.co.uk
So although it doesn’t entirely do what it says it is meant to, I am happy with the product, and will continue to use it.
Would I recommend it? Yes but what I will say is don’t be put of by the first results, continue to use and you will see a noticeable difference. Perseverance does pay off.
Thank you very much for reading.

Great review! Trying to make up my mind whether to give it a try or not! All the veet products ive tried in the past, eg the waxing strips etc, have been utter crap and have never worked for me! Glad it worked for you though! x
