So this is the very first trial that I've ever been selected to participate in and I am super excited. It came this morning in a long rectangular box that'd unfortunately been squished in the mail. It also came with this cute bendy plastic spoon thing. The cream is white with a slight milky tinge to it. I didn't really smell anything spectacular when I used it. I tried this about two hours ago and since I've never tried this before I was worried that I might get an allergic reaction or something since my skin is extremely sensitive. I spread it on my right leg evenly about 2mm thick. Application was very easy I just squeezed out about a tablespoon for my whole leg and rubbed it all over. Waited for 5 minutes exactly before trying to scrape off the cream. For me I don't think 5 minutes was enough so I ended up waiting about 7-8min before it all came away smooth. When I scraped off all the cream along with my leg hair I washed my leg with warm water and soap. The result is very smooth soft leg with no irritation. My skin is slightly red though but I suspect that's pretty normal with hair removal. It was completely painless and not as messy as waxing. Not sure how long lasting this is but I'll take note of that.

Tips: Try not to leave it on for more than 10 minutes. When you're ready to scrape it all off, the package recommended you use the small end of the spatula to scrape a little off. I'd suggest you scrape a little from a really hairy part so you'll know for sure if it's ready or not. I like to put some aloe vera gel on my skin whenever I do hair removal like waxing because it's great for soothing my skin.
This product stung and left me with little sore bumps afterwards, exactly what it isn't meant to do. Would not use again
I used Veet consistently for nearly five years (before I got lazy, married and decided shaving was easier), and it mostly did an excellent job of getting rid of hair in my more .... sensitive .... areas.
Easy to apply, the texture was quite thick, so it didn't run into those ... sensitive .... areas. I used to read NW whilst waiting for it to do its thing, then using the spatula I'd whip off the product, the hair coming off easily, then I'd shower to get rid of any excess - and to try and remove the smell, because I didn't find it all that pleasant, quite chemically. Oh and that smell, it does stick around for a day or two - so ladies, if you're using this product for hair-removal in the hopes of surprising your significant other (IYKWIM *cough*), use it two days beforehand, otherwise peeeewhew!
Only had one bad experience and that was when I applied it on my armpits - I ended up in all sorts of agony and had to sleep with ice-filled flannels under them overnight just to ease the pain.
So does it work on sensitive skin? Mostly. Would I use it again? If I wasn't a lazy old married woman, definitely. Do I recommend it? Yes, but not on your armpits.
I used to use this as my only method of getting rid of unwanted hair about 10 years ago, but not sure if they changed the formula or if my body changed against it but I only ever use it now if I don’t have a blade left for my razor.
The cream is fine to apply albeit a little on the messy side as the texture is extra thick and it has an odour to it that is a little off putting, the only way I can describe it is it smells warm and acidy. So you lather this all over you legs then you need to give the cream time to essentially burn off the hair, which takes 10-15 minutes depending on how thick your hair is, I’ve got thick hair so I always leave on for the full time allowed, although it pays to keep checking with the supplied spatula every few minutes after the 10 minute period you don’t want this cream on longer than it needs to be. Then you rinse it off using the spatula to mimic a razor by scraping against the grain of the hair. Voila! Hair free legs, well kind of, they look tidy but as soon as you run your hands over them you can feel the prickly reside of hairs, that a razor would have gotten rid off leaving you silky smooth.
Also I find that even with this sensitive version of Veet that I developed a rash/itchy burn sensation across my legs within 24 hours, especially after showering (doesn’t help I guess that I have my shower so hot even Satan would wince getting into it – but that is besides the point I like it hot and shall do so) it’s not worryingly bad, as soon as I’ve showered and dried I apply cream it dies down, it just seems harsh even in this formula.
This cream was great. It was quick and easy to use, I applied it before my shower and left it to do it's thing while I removed my makeup. Way less hassle than shaving as I could get to those hard to reach places easier. Smelt great too. My skin is very sensitive and this way great to use compared to shaving. Left no redness or irritation and left my skin so smooth. Will use this again!!
