Don't waste your money, 14 Nov. 2013

I think I'm pretty ok at waxing as have been doing it a number of years. Saw this and thought I'd give it a go. Useless! Its going in the bin after I complain direct to veet. The wax isn't strong enough to pull out hair. Nothing and I mean nothing came out after trying to let the wax cool then pull it off with a wax strip, not letting the wax cool and solidify and then pulling it off with a wax strip. I tried all methods I could think of and nothing came off.

Designed for the face and perhaps that’s why the effect seemed more delicate. However, results were inconsistent and touching up/second applications were necessary depending on hair growth. In particular it didn’t seem very effective at a maintenance level, which is a pity because it is a very portable item.

The kit contains a precision applicator that dispenses wax from one end and aftercare cream from the other, some fabric strips and a detailed instruction leaflet. Place the wax end of the applicator in a mug of hot water for one minute, squeeze a small amount of wax onto the area to be treated, cover with a strip and pull away as quickly as you dare.

Any wax that remains on the skin after the strips have been removed washes off easily with water, so if you do decide you don’t want to pull a strip off, you can remove it without discomfort. Holding the skin taut at the removal site is key to minimizing discomfort and maximizing hair removal so...

Absolutely useless., 3 Dec. 2013

Got this with the hopes it would help my little hair growth problem on my chin, I have dermotillomania and trichotillomania (skin picking and hair pulling disorders) so I get black hairs on regrowth under my chin. I had HOPED this would work, but in essence, it just didn't.

It goes on like that horrible school glue (the clear stuff that looked like honey) despite being put in a cup of boiled water for over a minute, and when you put on the strip, it barely even seems to stick to it. You pull the strip off, the WAX doesn't even come off, the strip remains nearly dry with just a little grease stain on it. I attempted numerous times following the direction with no success. I tried variations, leaving the wax on longer with the strip but to no avail.

Not a single hair was removed. Not even any of the soft hairs that would usually come away easily with a bit of scotch tape! This product is a disgrace. How are Veet actually making money? Third time this year a...
