Hair Remover, Veet Gel Hair Removal Cream Sensitive, 13.5 Ounce, Sensitive formula with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E (pack of 1)

**Update** I've been using this for a few months now, and it is still as awesome as the first use. The biggest change is that I now use a latex glove to apply the goop to my skin and wash it off, mainly because my nails are brittle and I don't know if this was making it worse or it was a coincidence. It's still awesome, but I've given up using it on anything but my legs. The face isn't a problem anymore, and the downstairs is just too annoying to use more than for special occasions because I need help to be as smooth as I get from shaving, and it doesn't last long enough to make it worth the effort.**Original review**If you're reading this, you're skeptical. Over 50k reviews on one product, and most people give it 5 stars, so you want to know what's the catch. There's no way something this magical can come out of a silly pink bottle, and the hair removal Venn diagram overlap between easy, fast, and cheap is a unicorn that takes you to Hogwarts to meet Aragorn and save the Black Pearl.Let me tell you, Aragorn is taller than I expected.I originally bought this for my older (teenage) daughter. She has horribly sensitive skin, and gets the worst razor burn from shaving her legs. But we live on the face of the sun, so shorts are required to not die for the 11.5 months of summer, and life can get rough. I did a bunch of research on options for her, and everything I read online had this product at the top of the list. I had a run in with Nair long ago and still have a scar from the chemical burn during the patch test on my leg, so was extremely hesitant, but I decided to give in to her begging and let her give it a try after reading so many positive reviews.She looked like a naked mole rat, but the happiest one ever because after slathering the cream on and waiting 8 minutes, her legs were completely smooth and no razor burn! It was amazing! A happy teenager does exist!Her results got me thinking, and I decided to give it a shot myself. My test patch was MUCH smaller than the swath of leg the daughter used, but 10 minutes later, no more and no less, the hair came off. Mostly. But my hair is much more thick and dark from years of shaving, though my lower legs are usually epilated so the hair doesn't grow quick as thick. I figured it was at least a good jump on epilating, so went ahead and did as the Johnny Cash song states, doing one part at a time. I was paranoid about getting burned, so did my lower legs one at a time, then each upper leg. By then, I was feeling bullet proof. Two (mostly) smooth legs, no burns, and no issues? Bring on the bikini area. But I had read the reviews, and I wanted to be smooth aallll over, so to hell with it, I did it all. ALL.It didn't work quite as well in the netherworld as on my legs, but the hair is also much thicker. I then jumped in the shower to wash the magical fairy snot of the gods from my skin, and lo, angels began singing as I started scrubbing. I have an exfoliating mitt that I keep my bar of soap in, and as I lathered on the soap, the remaining hair on my legs vanished. It was still patchy down below, but nothing a quick swipe with a razor couldn't fix.Now dried, I looked in the mirror. Bulletproof? Nay, I was Achilles, and nothing could harm me, including a smear of miracle goo on a few problem areas on my face. However, I am a careful Greek hero, so I only set the timer for 4 minutes. That was all it took for my face to be perfectly smooth and the fine but dark and obvious hairs to be gone. To top it off, my dry and flaky self was neither dry nor flaky! I used only a tiny bit of coconut oil, rather than the copious amounts my skin usually absorbs to be soft and touchable.We both smeared on a good amount of the cream where we wanted the hair to be gone, using our hands and washing them immediately. And by good amount, I mean you don't want to see hair stubble. It's $10, so don't be stingy. Then wait your time, using a timer, and scrape it off with the plastic thing, going against the hair. Be careful with areas that have folds or creases, because letting them touch will mess up the layer of goop and give you bad results. I'm 100% sure my less than stellar outcome below was due to not being careful to keep creases and folds from creasing and folding, so I plan to give it another shot in a few days. My husband likes how my skin feels after using Veet, so maybe I can get a helping hand next time....bow chicka wow wow...

As long as I don't manage to develop a sensitivity to this, I am NOT going back to shaving. I'll break it down in case the tizm makes you need lots of details like it does to me, cuz the instructions aren't completely straightforward, and this was my first time ever using a cream epilator.I did a test run, and had to reapply it because it turns out you need to put it on fairly thick. I mean looking thick white thick. It got my legs SMOOTH. I do still see the dark spots from the roots but I can't deal with waxing and shaving is getting to me. I'll need to set aside a day or two throughout the week for this as well and do every main section of my body separately as well, because of the time it takes to apply it, but I consider the ease of this a bonus compared to the time and effort needed for shaving.Apparently you'll really need the curved spatula that's stuck to its side. I thought it was just something Amazon stuck to the bottle as a packaging aide given the size of the box, so I threw it out, but I had a pack of those rough washrags from the dollar store and used one of them to "scrape" the cream and hair off, but honestly, for the time doing that saved on scraping, I'll pay an extra buck every few months to scrape it off faster (they came in a 12-pack) and then just toss the rag, or wash them by themselves if you don't have to use a laundromat.The reviews saying to be sure to get it all off aren't very detailed about it. They're right; there's a thin film it leaves, and you definitely want to get that film off. That can burn you, and I noticed that I had to jump back in the shower a couple times to get it all off because it makes your skin so smooth you can confuse it for the water, which can then confuse you to not check better, at least it can if you're like me and the tizm makes you pick up touch sensations that make people wonder about you.You'll definitely want to moisturize with a good lotion afterwards, and while I didn't exfoliate first, I can see why some of the other reviews suggest doing that too. It did dry my skin out a bit.The scent isn't very strong at all, very subtle, which is great for me because I am pretty sensitive to that stuff.All in all, very pleased, and I will buy more of this.

I tried the Veet Gel Cream Hair Remover for Sensitive Skin, and overall, I’m impressed! It’s super easy to use, and the pump bottle makes application mess-free. The cream has a smooth texture and a light, pleasant scent—thanks to the Aloe & Violet Blossom fragrance.It worked well on both fine and stubborn hair, and my legs felt noticeably smoother after using it. I didn’t experience any irritation, which is great for my sensitive skin. One thing to keep in mind: you have to follow the timing instructions carefully—leaving it on too long can cause a bit of tingling.The results lasted longer than shaving, and the hair grew back softer.From my experience, this product works really well. I leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes, then use the small spatula that comes with it to help remove all the hair from my legs completely. It leaves my skin smooth and soft. Even though it’s made for legs and body, I’ve also used it on other areas like my underarms, and it worked fine for me. Just be careful not to leave it on too long to avoid irritation.

Came in a box with no damage, wrapped in plastic, a plug in the nozzle.It pops up when you turn the nozzle, so there's a more compact mode where it won't pump if you're traveling or taking it with you somewhere. I did notice talc in the ingredients, which is off-putting(its been linked to cancer and asbestos)Now to the use test!I'll show the before and after of 5 and ten minutes. It smells nice, soft even.The 5 minutes got most of it off, no burning or irritation for me.In 10 minutes there wasn't much of a difference, but it did get closer to skin which I like. I'll update if I have any reaction within the next 24 hours.Would reccomend!
