Review (3/5): It Does Work -Really
Pros: The hair was very effectively removed. No noticeable odor (unlike Nads, which stunk up the bathroom for a day). Didn't need to put on a very thick layer to achieve the desired hair removal.
Cons: I found it quite difficult to get the product out of the bottle -had to apply a lot of pressure as it is quite thick. I used a timer, and started it with the first part of the application to make sure I didn't go over the time, but I still experienced a fair bit of burning sensation and redness. The calming lotion didn't seem to do anything except increase the heat a bit.
This was my first use, and though it wasn't a perfect experience I am willing to try it again when needed. I will cut the time in half next time to see if that works better for me. Having read all the various reviews here I really have to wonder about the authenticity of some of them. I have very coarse, thick hair and it came away smoothly and easily. I can't imagine what the hair must be like on a someone who says it didn't do anything at all! I do believe the guys who say it burned a lot. I think some people have more sensitive skin than others -Be sure to do the test patch as instructed. I did, with no problems, and I waited more than 24 hours to give it a full go after doing the test. That said, the most painful area is the part that was previously tested. Clearly it does take the skin some time to completely calm down.
The bottom line (no pun intended) is that this product removes hair very well. It can burn, even if you follow the directions. After half an hour, my burning sensation was significantly better. Try to avoid putting on shorts or doing any activities for a few hours, if you can. I certainly don't recommend any bedroom fun for a day or two! It sure beats shaving!
