5.0 out of 5 starsAnother Awesome Avon Product!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2016
I absolutely LOVE Avon products and this is no different. I have tried other hair removal creams only to have them completely fail and those were the expensive drug store ones. I won't name any names. But this was a long time ago when these types of creams were first introduced onto the market. I would actually love to see if the other brands work so I don't have to wait for my Avon orders to come in. Like a back up plan while waiting on this to come in. I'm guessing by now they are all pretty comparable and probably actually works by now.
This is an extremely thick cream and can be used in thin layers perfectly. For the more course hair that doesn't budge, just put a thicker layer on and wait one more minute before removing. Make sure to do an allergy test, which I automatically would do with any new product for the body product, including this one. I do it before using a new bottle every time. It's always better safe than sorry!
It is extremely easy to use. If you can use lotion, you can use this. Just don't rub it in like a lotion and make sure to read all the directions. Don't go over the time it suggests or you could have an bad reaction. I just love that it's way better than shaving and I can sit and watch tv while it does all the heaving lifting. I generally use it the day before if I have something I'm need to do that next day. It's a real time saver. And their "skin so soft" line is exactly what this cream makes your skin feel like after use. It lasts twice as long as shaving. No nicks or red bumps if used correctly. I could go on and on about the pros of this product, but I think you get the picture by now.
Removing the cream is just as easy as everything else. It doesn't come with a scraper tool that I think other brands might offer and would just help remove all the hair. All you need is a wash cloth. Use an old one that you don't mind losing...you'll see why I say this right under this part. Wet down the area down lightly with warm water and just either run the washcloth against the way the hair grows or use light circles. That hair comes off on the very first try! I actually have a pair of those exfoliating wash gloves that I got at the Dollar Tree. They work perfectly. You can even use the tool from another brand for removal. It's just a matter of personal preference.
If some of the hair does not come off with a single use, shave it off. Do not use this twice in one day! I do not say this lightly because it's something I did when I first used it. I thought a second application would do the trick. But nope. All I got was a rash from over usage. Just save yourself the pain and learn from my mistake. Don't risk it, just shave it!
I really only have one con about this. I learned to wear clothing I don't mind soiling and I would highly suggest that you sit on a towel while use instead of your bed or sofa. I think this is something that hasn't really been brought up. But it is important. With my first and second use of this, I noticed that it will have a bleach like effect on clothing. No joke there. So now I use the towel I have always used for when I would dye my hair and I wear some old ratty shorts that I don't have any other use for. Other than doing an allergy test, this is my second piece of advice.
As for my five star review, it is actually non-biased. I do not leave reviews on products based on brand alone. Just because I love Avon, it doesn't mean I love everything they have. This one is actually the best cream for the money right now...I think, cause remember I haven't tried the current creams out in drug stores yet. I'll have to try other brands out to see which is actually the best. Until I find something better, I'm going to keep using this one! I'm not a seller either! In fact I never thought of trying, much less even buying, this one. I only used it because I got this as a gift and it was one of those "what's the worst thing it could do, not work". From there though, I always keep it in my beauty supply center (my closet in my bathroom!) LOL I hope this helps anyone that's on the fence about trying this one out!!
