Depilatory Creams

[Vonn]

Would like to check with those of you who have used hair removal creams before, is the regrowth pokey/stubby/itchy?

Thank you!

Veet Bladeless Shave

Any reviews on the new veet bladeless shave product? Does it cause ingrown hairs??

[babyflite]

Bladeless shaver? I don't think so. It's pretty much just a depilatory cream which they try to market as a shaver.

and it's kind of expensive for one too .. $19.90?

[xangelicj]

pardon the ignorance...

what's a depilatory cream?

[babyflite]

A depilatory cream is a hair removal cream that you apply and it dissolves your hair on the surface so when you rinse the cream off you remove the hair as well. Since it removes the hair on the surface and not at the root like waxing, it definitely does not last longer than normal shaving. Also it is a chemical so it really stinks, especially when combined together with the smell of burnt hair.

okay,tried the cream today.The smell was not that bad,rather okay with it when I squeezed it out.After application on my leg,the cream started to smell a little,not very obvious scent though,no worries...Definitely not as bad as other depilatory cream I've tried before.
they said max application is 8 mins,and the effect is suppose to be done within 3 mins.But just in case,I left it on for 4 mins before starting to scrap the cream off.Saw hair coming off with the cream,then I went to wash it off.

After showering~Legs feel very,very smooth.Cream washed off easily and no smell lingered at all.Hair; all gone

Overall,rather pleased with it.Was skeptical in the beginning,but I think I can get used to this.

hi ange!! do update on how long the effects last ok? thanks a lot!!!

[ange]

sure thing!haha,I can't wait to see how long it lasts too...My normal shave only lasts abt 3 days??? before it gets all fuzzy again,argh.Annoying~
