Veet Ready to Use Wax Strips for Face

My go to for doing my eyebrows and removing excess facial hair. Works well but not outstanding. Sometimes need to go over areas a few times. Would be nice if more wipes were supplied because there are far more wax strips than wipes so they have to be reused which I feel is kind of gross and unhygenic.

Great for the upper lip. Can be a bit sticky but nothing too major. Picks up and removes most even little hairs

I have used these on myself and also between my partners eyebrows. I wouldn't say these are for sensitive skin but do not hurt too much when removed from the face. Pretty good product for being affordable, and easily accessible.

I have used these with good results to remove annoying cheek & jaw fluff and dark hairs above the lip. For those hairs it misses it's easy enough just to use the tweezers to tidy up. My daughter has used on her jaw and between her eyebrows. Good for use on sensitive skin and no messing around with smelly creams or hot waxes that can burn your skin. Rub between your palms to soften the wax & help it to stick. Smooth strip onto hair you want to remove (rub your finger over strip a couple of times) in the direction of hair growth then rip off quickly using the tab on the strip. Smarts a bit but it's bearable. Remove any sticky residue with baby oil or face wipes, or with one of the 4 wipes provided in the kit. 20 wax strips in the pack, which can be reused 1-2 times if used straight away. A bit of redness goes away resonably quickly, but doing it at night is best just to be sure.

These wax strips provide the most effective facial hair removal that I've personally tried to date, I use them only on the upper lip area, but you can also use them on the cheeks and chin.

The wax on these strips is thick and super sticky, so it fully grasps the finest of hairs to ensure that you’ll end up with the smooth upper lip that you’re after. If you can manage to mold the strip around your top lip so that all the fuzz is covered, then you should only have to endure the process once. I usually can’t quite manage to mold the strip around the entire area of fuzz, so after getting the brunt of it I need to do the sides just a little bit, near the corners of my mouth. There’s enough stickiness/wax left on the strip to use it the 3 times (in one session) that I generally do.

Surprisingly to me, printed on the box of these wax strips are the words ‘sensitive skin.’ Personally I would not recommend these to those with sensitive skin, it hurts when you rip them off (not sure if that’s unavoidable with wax products though), and they leave the waxed area quite red for at least a couple hours after using.

These wax strips are very quick and easy to use, yeah they hurt but it’s really only a few seconds of pain for about a weeks worth of having a smooth upper lip. They’re extremely effective, I never notice any hairs left behind after using these.

I really wish however, that there were more than 4 finish wipes in the box. It’d be nice to be able to use a finish wipe every time after using a wax strip as they leave behind a very tacky residue which is not water soluble alone, and some cleansers I’ve tried don’t remove the residue successfully. Seems pretty silly to me that there’s only 4 when there’s 20 strips, but Micellar water and a cotton pad do the job, very handy to have in fact for removing that residue left behind.

I’ve purchased these more than once, i’m very likely to continue purchasing these wax strips and definitely recommend, IF you’re not one to have particularly sensitive skin issues.

I have pale yellowy olive skin, and dark brown hair. I have enough hair on my upper lip that it bothers me, so I have been waxing it off for years and have tried lots of different kinds of wax strips. I’ve never bothered to get it done by a beautician as I find it’s so easy and cheap to do in the privacy of your own home. I tend to wax every couple of months, with tweezing in between to maintain. I find that even blonde upper lip hair becomes super noticeable in the sun, so I much prefer to wax rather than bleach.

Before use, I always warm the strips up really well. I use body heat or warm the strips up in my hands. This makes the product much softer and ensures that the wax is evenly distributed on both sides of the strip. I rip the strip back in the opposite direction of the hair growth and use baby oil to remove any wax residue. I then wash my face with a gentle cleanser. I don’t bother using the after waxing towelettes that come with the kit – I find that you never get enough for the number of strips, and that baby oil does just as good a job.

My skin is red immediately after use, and occasionally will develop some irritation a day after use, usually in the same spot – right at the end of the wax strip. Onto the product itself - it does the job, and it does it well. The strips are a good size and easy to use. I don't get my skin being pulled off (ouch!). I will buy them again.

Always been mindful about my facial hair and too embarassed to ask a beautician to wax the hair above my lips. With this product, I am able to remove the hair with these perfect sized strips at home. Easy to use, actually grabs all the little hairs and leaves little residue. Definitely a product that I will use for life and in the privacy of my own home.

I think it works differently for everyone. for me, it works. I use it for my upper-lip area. It gets rid of ugly hair on my upper lip without any pain or mess. No redness, no pain if you do it right. The strip removed hair quickly and effectively.
