Hair Removal Creams

Advantages: no more moustache!
Disadvantages: stupid holder , too harsh when new.

After reading the previous 2 review , i have to comment - as this product is fantastc -only If you get the hang of how to use it. So heres my tips Firstly - dont bother with the 'holder ', as it makes it tricky to angle and by peeling the backing off the glue can get on your face , and this can cause irritation . FOLD the strip in half to get a more accurate shape and angle to do the upper lip area. -- this also enables you to hold the strip and ...
...if you are pressing too hard . If using it the first time on long hair , trim hair first , then skin will take less friction. Irritation is less if you use a 'worn in' strip - eg - do your knees with it first! It is great for this area and causes less irritation than the body mitt for legs made by the same company. Put cold water on skin first , and pat skin dry before using the silkymitt. Never use after a hot bath, and DONT RUB TOO HARD, be ... Read review

Advantages: No awful smell.
Disadvantages: Takes time to use.

Louis Marcel Gentle hair removal cream is a very good product; I started using it when my regular routine of shaving my bikini line caused a large amount of painful irritation. Unlike other hair removing products such as 'Veet' Louis Marcel doesn't smell and leave an awful stench in the room when you are finished. The directions were easy to follow and the texture allowed for very easy and smooth application, it didn't drip or run and it didn't ...
...when any other method of hair removal was used, Louis Marcel didn’t harm me in away way at all and it removed the hair very well, although I suspect thicker hair would need the cream left in place for longer. Definitely a product that I’ll continue to use. ... Read review

Advantages: Won't cut legs
Disadvantages: Doesn't work

Having tried hair removal creams in the past and always gone back to the razor I thought I'd see if they'd improved at all and this one promised to work wonders. Sadly it didn't. The rate at which hair grows back after shaving has always been an irritation so I wanted to try something with longer lasting effects but I found that after using this in the morning the hair had reappeared by the end of the day! Something I have never found with shaving. ...
...start of the shower and by the end it will have done its stuff and you remove it with the sponge provided. I found that a lot of the cream had already gone by the time I came to remove it and the rest I tried to scrub off with the little sponge. After some rather painful scrubbing with the abrasive side of the sponge I was left with legs that were silky smooth in places but with no difference in other places - even those that still had the cream ...

Advantages: Works For Shaving Rashes, Easy To Apply
Disadvantages: Expensive, Nasty Smell, Doesnt Cure Ingrown Hairs

...friend recommended that I give Nads a try so I decided that it would be worth it since my legs were really ending up in such a bad way. I popped down to Boots and was slightly reluctant due to the price (£10) but I figured that if it did worth it might be worth a go and worth spending a little more than I would have otherwise liked to. Because the shaving rash on my legs had become relatively permanent I used the product as soon as I got home. ...
...remembered that I still had Nads left and had read that it was supposed to help to prevent and soothe in growing hairs so decided that I would start using it again. For a while I applied it each time after I epilated but I didn't see any real progress so I just had to stop using it and put up with the little marks on my legs. The good thing is that Nads is easy to use because you just have to spray it onto the affected areas and rub it in slightly. ... Read review

Advantages: Less Shaving!!
Disadvantages: Another thing to add to the routine

I bought the slowgrow but I haven't used it since the summer because quite frankly I tend to wear trousers a lot during the winter and to me it is pointless to use it in the winter. In the summer it got to a point where I would have to touch up my shaving daily to ensure that I would have silkily smooth legs for all the skirts. When I went to get my eyebrows waxed at my local beauty therapist, I spotted the slowgrow and though that I would give it ...
...that optimistic that this product would work when I first used it, but I must admit that it did slow down the growth and it also appeared that it did soften the hair which grew back as well. It is a moisturizer as well so it does two jobs at once (bonus). I shaved my legs and then applied the slowgrow as I would if I was moisturizing. Then I included it into my daily routine for the next week and then reduced it to every other day after that. I always ... Read review
