Excellent product (I’ve used Braun for 30 years)

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2024

This product is very good.

I’ve used Braun on my legs since I was 14.
It hurts a little and thats perfectly normal. It hurts less than 20 pluckers at once like in the legs Braun.

It’s very easy to hold in your hand.

On my face I’ve always used tweezers. It takes 30 min and I need good sunlight.

Well this little device takes 10 seconds and no mirror is needed. ♥️

Tip for the people who give low ratings bc they don’t know how to use it: go in the opposite direction that the hair is growing. Try using the machine one both sides (relative to the direction of spinning) because one side works better. Try holding the machine at an angle close to 90 degrees on your face but slightly less.

Don’t be afraid to experiment in how to best use this machine. That’s how you learn.

I’ve been using Braun epilators for 30 years. This epilator compares to Braun. Does the same job equally well.

Sucks

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024

I’m shocked people were able to get this to work for dark course facial hair. I used this for so long and it did pull out a few hairs but I need it to pull out all the hairs (and there’s a lot). I had to go over the same spot 100 times and I couldn’t figure out why sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t. Angle didn’t seem to matter. Direction didn’t seem to matter. Didn’t matter how tight I pulled my skin. Didn’t matter how firmly or lightly I pushed it against my skin.

I think it would be fine if all you have is peach fuzz, but if you have dark facial hair you need to remove, this isn’t what you’re looking for.

Can’t even return it because I threw out the packaging. Good thing it was cheap.

Using this has a bit of a curve, so don't be discouraged if it does not work the first few times. Try it upside down. This worked for me. I have had this since the middle of February and I have only had to use it a few times!!! Leaves your skin so soft afterwards. When using, you may get some red bumps, but will go away after a bit. I only have to pluck a few hairs here and there. This does last longer then plucking which I was surprised by. Overall, it is a great product. Hope this helps someone else out if you are on the fence about purchasing it.

Yes, it plucks

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024

The primary question for most shoppers... does it actually work? The short answer is "yes, it does." In fact, for such a comparatively inexpensive device, I was almost surprised that it did. However, there are a few provisos here.

Is it painless? Of course not. There is a certain amount of discomfort attached to yanking your facial hairs out, and no method takes the "ouch" out of the process, except perhaps the method that includes having a potent glass or two of good wine and even that is only a distraction. Ouch is ouch. So that answers the painlessness query.

Is it effective? Yes, but (there's almost always a 'but'), you will need to be patient. First, hairs must be a certain length--long enough for the rotating sets of tweezers to grasp--and one quick pass is not going to be sufficient. I practiced moving it slowly, changing "angles of attack," pulling skin taught, and so forth. After a few days, I was pleased with the results. Why? Because I'd gotten into the habit of using a good electric razor, and that meant stubble in a matter of a day or two. WHY is it that as we get older those pesky chin hairs begin to multiply like weeds?? Seems so unfair really.

By using this particular device (over the course of TIME), daily stubble has become a thing of the past. i emphasize TIME because hairs emerge from follicles at different times and grow at different rates. And, as mentioned earlier, they have to get long enough. You could accomplish the same result by hand plucking, of course, but for that you need a mirror, a good light, and perhaps to put your reading glasses on. But I can simply sit and watch a movie and let little "plucky" do the work. So far, so good.

Product keeps defecting

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024

I've bought this 3 times. Once a couple years ago and it worked great but then the button popped off and I couldn't use it.
Then a couple of months ago I bought a new one and it worked but then again the button popped off but at least this time I could put it back on but it didn't hold and it seemed the motor was weak (I put fresh batteries in it and it still was weak).
Then a couple weeks ago I bought another new one and it worked for a week and it's giving the same problems but this time the button is ok but no matter if it's in the off or on position, the motor is still on. I have to take the battery out so it can shut down.
I don't know what to do.
I don't think I can exchange it since I've used it.
I'm really bummed.

I love this Remington Smooth and Silky Facial Epilator (EP1050CDN)! It is so much easier and faster than plucking one hair at a time with a tweezers, and not nearly as painful or messy as wax. It did a great job on my first try right out of the box. It doesn't get 100% of the hairs, but it gets most of them, and then I can get the stragglers with the tweezers. And it's the perfect size to carry in my purse. Great deal and performance for the price!

excellent results

I have been bleaching, shaving etc my upper lip and then my chin since I was a teenager (I am 63 yrs old) I even had laser hair removal done and after 5 sessions, I had hoped it would be easy to maintain, but I still had to shave everyday in the shower. I then bought a home laser hair remover, which worked great, but was very painful and I just didn't keep up with it. Then, eventually, I had more grey than dark, so lasers aren't going to help. I continued to shave and if I didn't shower on occassion, I would use a woman's electric shaver. I still had stubble and constantly cutting myself. I would sometimes pluck what I could but that was a major time consuming pain in the neck. So I decided to try this, I never wanted to because it sounded like torture, but after the pain of laser and I am plucking anyway, I decided to try it. The pain is minimal and I have to report that I have not shaved anywhere on my face in at least three days and I have NO noticible hair or stubble. I am obsessed with feeling my chin for stubble that I might have missed after shaving and there is NOTHING. I used it the last three days. my upper lip still needs more attention because I could never shave close enough to get under the skin, so there is a LOT. But I am so happy with the results. I may never have to shave again!!

Works-yes, painful-yes, still would recommend

So I have struggled with facial hair under chin, on chin and above lip for many years and have had laser treatment that did not work and just ended up shaving as needed which could potentially be daily if I really wanted to. I read the reviews and saw that while this is painful it works. I will agree with that, it reminds me of laser therapy the feeling, when the first hair gets caught in the machine it’s definitely shocking (no it doesn’t shock you) it is painful but I noticed once I continued the pain was less. It absolutely works however I will say this is designed for small areas. I did use it all over my chin and it took a while but I finally got the hair. It’s been about a week now and I have not felt the need to shave at all. I will say some of the smaller, more fine white hairs I have had to tweeze after a week but nothing that would stop me from using this. Quite amazing. So overall, yes it works, but designed for small areas. I will likely invest in one that is bigger and designed to handle more area. Worth it, would recommend.

The tweezer head is a bit small and hard to maneuver

I had to replace my old epilator, and found this one to have the highest customer ratings. Though it does work, it is a bit awkward to hold and it does not have as many little "tweezers" as my old one. It functions but design could be better.
