I got this given to me and tried it several times and I am not happy with it. It didn't seem to remove my hair at all and I kept following the instructions and still nothing so I threw it away.
Honestly, the most wasteful use of money there could be! I made this purchase at Walmart thinking that it was a great idea (praying that it would work). I excitedly got home to try it out, as I hate to admit that sometimes I have the bad habit of being too lazy to shave. After a while of rubbing and rubbing I glanced at the directions thinking I just HAD to be doing something wrong and saw that nope-I was not. The only difference I saw was that my skin was chaffed and the hair was moved a little but it was not removed. I used this product just that once (because the chaffed skin hurt) and since it has been sitting in my bathroom collecting dust. Sometimes I get too lazy to shave and the hair grows kind of eekish but on that event it was mere stubble so maybe I have to get amazonian in order for this thing to work but who knows (or cares?)
This does about as good a job as sand paper, it has the same effect. All it does is sand away your skin, it hardly even removes the hair. It leaves skin feeling raw and irritated. This should be sold at the hardware store instead of beauty stores. Save your skin, your time, and your money and just don't bother.
The instructions for this item are pretty simple and I thought I followed them perfectly... but all it did was rub my skin raw. If it removed any of my hair, I couldn't tell.
I have thick, coarse hair- so perhaps this was the issue. Either way, it didn't work for me.
My lesson learned- if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is too good to be true. This product was. I wish I hadn't bothered with this one.
I tried it on my legs and was amazed at the results! My legs had the just-waxed feeling without any pain to go with it!! So lucky of me to have bought it on a sale! NOT!!! The next morning I woke up to not only harsh stubble on my legs, but parts of my legs actually looked like it had black burn marks on them!!
It's been over a month and now my legs are starting to get a bit back to normal...
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone
I got this by mail through my book club (odd place to get it i know.) I mainly wanted it for facial hair ( I have black hair and am always paranoid that I am developing a mustache)
I was so excited to try it when I got it... after sticking the "smooth away pads" onto the pink holders I was ready to go. I tried it on my arm first and it worked pretty well. Next I gave it a go on my mustache (which is very minimal, but yes there is some hair) and it didn't really do much. I finally got it to remove most of what was there, but it took two pads to get the job done, which is pathetic considering I had little to no hair to remove.
An hour or so later my upper lip hurt terribly, and had puffed up and was bright red. It was so painful, I couldn't believe it. I thought maybe it was my own fault (for rubbing too hard?) so like a dummy I tried it again a few weeks later with a more gentle touch and the exact same thing happened. I should have returned it for my money back, because it was junk. Do not waste your money on it.
Absolutely hated this product. I had such high hopes after watching the infomercials so many times and even after reading people's reviews on the net!
What can I say? It didn't work AT ALL! I tried it everywhere..even tried it on my arms and nothing, nada, zip! What a waste of money!
