Surgiwax Facial Hair Removal Cream for Women – Depilatory Cream for Face, Neck, & Sensitive Skin, Professional Hair Remover, 1 oz

I have very sensitive skin and I was able to use this brand. The only thing my face was a little red in spots but had subsided by the next day. It did what it was supposed to do. Test in an inconspicuous place before using though.

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.

Horrible, not effective and gave a 2nd degree burn to my face. Do not waste your money.

Best product I have found to remove facial hair! Used it for years.

Removes hair, did not irritate my face.

I’ve used this for years and keep going back to it

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.
