Surgiwax Facial Hair Removal Cream, Extra Gentle 1 oz

Works great lip or facial hair.

When I was much younger (pre- menopause), there was only regular Surgi-cream. It burned my skin like a bad sunburn. Hot and painful for days afterwards.But I learned a thing or two about “do’s” and “don’ts” which made a big difference when I tried this delicate version this evening.Being well past menopause now and distressed with prolific peach fuzz and single long hairs (ugh!) I trued the delicate Surgi-Cream out of desperation.The razor solution had the hair growing out coarser right away. No hood. I recalled my poor mother having to shave every day and by dinner time she had stubble again.The follicle killing system never kills off all of the hair. And what ut fies permanently remive takes years.So here’s what I did and I am thrilled with the result-no peach fuzz left and no burned skin either!I did as the instructions said, wetting my face and neck. But about a week before, I had used a little razor (looks like a pen, cap comes off to reveal a tiny razor operated by a battery to trim eyebrows, nose hair, etc.I trimmed the peach fuzz and any long hairs with that.I figured that the Surgi-Cream needed to concentrate around each very short hair coming out of my skin. In the past, leavingLinger hair caused the depilatory to work hit and miss.I applied nearly half a tube parts if my face and neck (basically, from the nose down-lol).I know, a plastic thingy is enclosed for that, but I have never been able to cost my skin totally and thick enough with that thing.I want a good, thickish, even , solid paste everywhere. No stinting.It took me roughly 3 minutes to get the job the way I wanted it.Remembering that I was already 3 minutes into the allowed 8 minutes, I set my cell phone timer for 5 more minutes.The click is ticking as the stuff is being smeared on! Then time to rinse the stuff off of my hands. I probably wasn’t supposed to, but I used a bit of bubbly foaming cleanser my hands.Following instructions, I washed the cream off with (cool) water. I used a soft terrycloth washrag and rinsed it out after every gentle swipe. I cannot lean over a sink and splash water on my neck.Gentle wipes, rinse, repeat.Then I rinsed my hands thoroughly and applied the soothing cream which seems to stop the depilatory action.Since the Surgi-Cream only had the very short beginning of re-growth to work on, and nothing to get in the way of the root area once the cream was smeared on, the cream did the trick completely and thoroughly. And no burned skin.I am so relieved! I dud NOT want to have to shave every day and develop a prickly beard like my poor mother had. Problem solved.I hope my little tips might help someone else.

I left it on for the recommend time and only a few hairs came off, I also got a really bad chemical burn that started on my upper lip and spread all over my face. Do not buy this unless you want to look like someone rubbed poison ivy on your face.

I've used this product for many years so it's not new to me. Obviously I like it or I wouldn't have used it for so long. I ordered it online because the store I usually buy it at was out of it. I've never had any problem with this product. It removes all the hair very quickly and easily and provides a cream to put on your face after removing hair. The scent is very mild. I have many allergies and that scent has never bothered me. It's very creamy and is good to moisture the skin after hair removal. I have recommended this facial hair removal to friends and they have liked it except one person did have some breakout after using it. I have never had that problem, but the directions instruct removing a small amount of the hair removal after a few minutes to see if 1) some hair has been removed and 2) there is no bad reaction to the removal cream.The order came very quickly and there was no damage to the carton at all.If necessary, I won't hesitate to order this again from Amazon if my store is out of it.

Removes hair, did not irritate my face.

My doctor told me to buy this cream Nair gave me a rash on my cheek, haven't try it yet

I’ve been using this product for quite a while now and I really like it. I would generally give it five stars, but I’m only giving it three stars because the last one I bought, did not work at all. I use this on my chin and above my upper lip it did not remove the hair at all. It was a different color, It was like a beige color and it is generally white so I was very disappointed. I ordered a new one to try it one more time, I just ordered it it worked ok it removed my hair from my chin and upper lip so I will order again, I don’t know what happened with the previous bottle. It wasn’t expired. Maybe it was just a bad batch.

I found it to work effectively as some of the other more expensive bands. Quick and easy.
