Important
To reduce the risk of these skin reactions, it’s important to follow the package instructions. In particular, do not leave the product on beyond the recommended minutes. Likewise, do not use it on areas with more sensitive skin (genitals, nose, eyes) as you risk chemical burns.
Another downside is, compared to waxing, the results are short-lived. After all, the chemicals only act on the hair follicles. Chemical depilatories are also quite messy. You may also be more sensitive to the sun after using the product.
Finally, a depilatory cream may not be for you if you have sensitive skin. But regardless of sensitivity, it’s crucial that you perform a patch test first before using this product.
Depilatory Creams To Try
If you’re looking for a depilatory cream to use for effective and convenient hair removal, you might want to consider Veet and Nair.
Veet is one of the most well-known brands in the country. One great thing about Veet is that they have various creams that attend to people with normal skin type, sensitive skin, or dry skin.
Nair is a little pricey, but it might be worth it since they also have products for sensitive skin. In fact, their products are gentle enough that they have a hair remover face cream.
