GiGi Strip Free Microwave Formula Hair Removal Wax, 8 oz

Absolutely love this wax! Needed something new to try since sally hansen changed their formula which was disappointing, but on the bright side this one is better. I purchased this and it works great! Easy to heat up in the microwave and easy to apply. Pulls off well and gets the hair! You need to purchase strips as well though. Overall great product and I will be buying again. Wish I knew about this wax sooner.

Works great! If you’re new to DIY waxing it’s pretty straight forward and less is more. Much easier than the wax strips. I would definitely recommend

The wax is not doing what it is supposed to do… remove hair. I have been waxing for more than 35 years and have a lot of experience. An experience like this one never happened. This product is not was expected. I followed the instructions as it varies from brand to brand. It never warmed up after 1 minute but 5 minutes and it wasn’t hot just warm to the skin. I never experienced that with any product before. It should have been a warning. The wax was very difficulty to apply and wouldn’t not come off of ski with a cotton band/bandelette . It would not remove much hair either after using my hand to remove the wax. I warmed up the wax 2 more times ( separate time) 15 seconds with little results as it cool off very fast. I got frustrated with it. It was sticky but not removing hair and it got stuck to a strand of hair ( I lost that strand), beach towel I was waxing on, clothes, cabinets, handles, shower knobs, handles etc! I have spent over 3 hours on attempting to get rid of this awful wax from skin, fabric, knobs etccc with minimal progress. I took 3 showers so far and I have applied tons of petroleum jelly to my legs and hands where the wax got stuck the most. I have also attempted to clean cabinets, handles, knobs that were touched with my disgusting waxy hands and it’s still in progress.This product is not worth it: not the price of the product, the inability to effectively and cleanly remove unwanted hair, the time, effort and energy required to attempt to clean your house. This product should not be on the market. I can’t believe I got several jars because they are so small. Bottom line, I will shave when all that goo comes out ! Do not buy.

Easy to warm up and use. I have sensitive skin, and excited to find something that does not irritate my skin.

I've never used hard wax before but I hate shaving, and have a high-ish pain tolerance, so I thought i'd try this.I heated it up, took about 3 minutes in my microwave at 15-20 second intervals. When I bought this I also ordered 800 Popsicle sticks, so thats what I applied them with.After heating, I thought I was a pro, and didnt need to practice using this on my arm/leg. I had never used any sort of wax at home before, so how hard could it be?oh manOf course i went straight for the bikini line, more inside the line if you're picking up what I'm putting down.that was mistake #1. I highly recommend you test this out on your arm/leg so you can get used to how thick you apply it, how long you leave it for, how big of an area to spread it on. Otherwise you will end up like me, half your junk covered in a hardened wax, that you then need to slowly peel off of skin that hasnt been shaved in about 3 weeks.On the bright side, my first waxing experience set the bar pretty low on comfort, so the rest of the evening was a breeze.I found that, like the other reviews say, you should wait until the wax is not sticking to your fingers, but is "tacky". then just rip that off as fast as you can.I found that this didn't get 100% of my hairs off, but I'm also not good at using it yet.I waxed my entire bikini area(s), and the equivalent of about one calve (calf? which one is the animal?) and used up about 1/6th of the container.I found this worked amazing on my face, and didn't even hurt which i did not expect. They turned out so good, and it was so painless that my (hairy) boyfriend actually asked me to do his eyebrows too.Last note, in the instructions it talks about using a strip on top of the wax, but dont worry, you actually dont need one.******update a year later******It has been a year and i've bought this 3 more times. I got good at using it, but I no longer do. This would always leave me sore for 2-3 days anywhere i put it, sometimes bruising, and each hair follicle bleeds every time for me. I began to make my own at home sugar wax following along with a youtube video and I have had AMAZING results from that. No blood. No soreness. Much less pain. And with sugaring you can wax shorter hair, damaging it in its growth cycle so your hair grows back thinner and thinner and I can confirm this. I sugar waxed a bit of my arm about 10 months ago and there is still less hair in that area than everywhere else. My underarm hair grows back with less and less each time, and my bikini line hairs are coming back lighter which is great.I also LOVE sugaring because if you get it anywhere on accident, all the ingredients are, are lemon juice, water, and sugar so it is water soluble and you can wipe away mistakes with water.not to mention I can make this entire tub of gigi wax for cents when I use the sugaring method.give it a try, I wish I did sooner.
