NAIR Prep & Smooth Face Exfoliating Depilatory Cream for Women – Effective Hair Removal for Smooth Skin with Hyaluronic Acid, 1.76 oz

Works well – I highly recommend!
I followed the directions, and I used this from my cheekbones to just under my chin back to my hairline. Put it on my upper lip and just inside my lower nostrils. I let it sit for 5 minutes. After I wiped and washed it off, I felt a prickly, slightly burning sensation, with slight redness. There were a few strays I plucked away, mostly toward the corners of my mouth, but it did a better job than my epilator which I usually use on my upper lip. I will definitely be using this again. A calming type lotion, something you might use for after a sunburn, helped with the slight irritation and redness. It did not last long, and the next day it was fine. My serums, cremes and makeup go on so nicely now. Will be using this product from now on. I have fairly sensitive skin, but this worked ok for me (see above).

Much better than NAIR 20 years ago…still could use some improvement
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 wouldn’t recommend
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.

Awesome results!
Easy to use and works great!

Very Good Product, removes all facial hair and fruity watermelon scented

It works. I use it for my upper lip, and it removes all the hair. It does leave a nasty rash though, which lasts for a couple days. I have found that Calendula (a natural healing cream) does help with the rash, if you use it right afterwards.
