NairPrep & Smooth Face Exfoliating Depilatory Cream for Women - Effective Hair Removal for Smooth Skin with Hyaluronic Acid, 1.76 oz

Removes hair quick and easy. Leave on for 5 minutes, take a damp washcloth, and wipe away with one swipe. Hair is gone just like that! Much better than previous hair removal creams I've tried.

Excellent, I would buy it again. It doesn't irritate your skin.

So the last time I attempted to use NAIR was as a teenager 20 years ago....I hated it. I used it on my legs and it smelled like poison to the point where I thought I would faint from the fumes and on top of that, it didn't do anything. Not a single leg hair was removed.And now today, I have been annoyed with how frequently I have to shave my face recently. I guess we get more peach fuzz as we age? Anyways, it was annoying me and I was tired of shaving but afraid of waxing and can't afford laser removal, so I decided to try NAIR again. This time, not only was the product much more potent, but it actually worked pretty well!I did leave it on a bit too long, I think because in my head I remembered NAIR not working in the past. Next time I use it, I will actually try removing a patch from my cheeks around the 3 or 4 minute mark. Five minutes was actually a bit too much. It stung pretty badly to wipe off. The skin/hair on my jaw is tougher than what's on my cheeks though, because that area could've probably used an extra minute or two. But anyways, for the first time using it, I'm pretty happy with the results. Some tiny peach fuzz hairs remain, but they are all very short, fine, and light in color and don't really bother me. It was the longer and/or thicker areas that did, mostly on my cheeks.Be ready with the vaseline or aloe gel after using this, though. Definitely don't apply any actives before or after. Just a super gentle cleanser, this, and then a thick ointment. I did this and while it burned a bit taking it off and for a little while after and my skin was a bit pink/red, I did it before bed and when I woke up my skin was fine again. I still didn't use any actives that day just to be safe, but I started using gentle actives again the next day and went back to my normal skincare routine the following day and did not experience any further irritation.I would say based on all of these comments that if it's your first time, you should only do a small area, and you might also want to test if the hair is removed after about 3 minutes instead of waiting the full 5. You can always apply a bit more if it's not coming off yet. Just try to use it for the least amount of time possible to be effective and then heavily hydrate your face afterwards. Hypochlorous acid spray (the active in Tower 28 SOS, but I use a generic) was also great for soothing/calming the redness down.

I bought this to use above upper lip and lower part of face and chin. I had read reviews about chemical burns and was extra careful. I was lucky enough that there were no severe burns, but imagine if left on a minute longer it may have been different.I did the patch test & waited 24 hrs. Seemed fine so I went for 4 min on mustache area. Felt a slight burning after, so put a little Neosporin on. Next I did my lower face, the beard area, not as far in as my cheeks. I did 5 min. Same as before, there was slight burning, so a little more Neosporin.2 days later, I noticed my chin felt extremely dry. I rubbed my hands over all the areas I had used Nair on, and everywhere felt the same, like tiny little dry bumps. It's not stubble. They weren't obvious, but what I assume happened is I got tiny chemical burns and they scabbed over. I know it will heal itself, but this stuff is dangerous. Imagine if you got distracted for a couple of min, or your skin is super sensitive. Look at some of the other reviews. It's just not worth it.

I really like this. It is so easy to apply and it works so well with the roller ball on the end. Much better than old way of trying to squirt it out of the tube.

I thought that nair would be my best bet when it comes to the mustache and beard that PCOS is bringing on for me, however, it just doesn't stand up to it. I used it for the first time, and it left my face baby smooth with a little bit of irritation, but nothing a little ice compress couldn't fix. What I didn't notice, was it left part of the pesky hairs I was trying to get rid of. YES, I'm one who shaves my face because the whiskers just come in multitudes and are NO match for my little set of tweezers. I wanted to avoid waxing, cause I've tried that and was left with irritation and a painful red faced mustache / beard. So, I thought nair did a pretty good job, I'd try it again. Well, I don't leave it on for more than 10min, right? I STILL get the irritation, left my face fairly smooth, however, I'm about 4 days into the aftermath, and I've got LIZARD SKIN. Legit, like, scaly dry skin. I tried EVERYTHING to get it to go away, from lotion to even possibly exfoliating. It didn't help, if anything I made it worse by making little scabs in some places. If this works for you, I'm SO glad, because the smell isn't terrible, I mean it really does have a slight scent of watermelon (except for when you go to wipe the product away and get the awful burnt smell of hair, per nair) and yes, before you ask I DID pluck the thick dark hairs before using. PCOS is a tough contender, and this guy does not do the trick for me.
