I bought this on sale because I thought a spray-on hair removal cream might be easier to use than a hair removal cream from a tube. This review is for the “Sensitive skin” edition.
The Veet spray on hair removal cream comes in a 150ml can, with a curved, clear plastic scraper attached. The foam itself is white. The instructions say to spray onto the legs from 5cm away, and to leave on for 5 minutes (no more than 10 for stubborn hair). If the hair comes away easily with the scraper after 5 minutes, then you can rinse it all off in the shower using the scraper to remove the rest of the hair.
There are strong positives and negatives to this product. The positives are that I found it to be very effective for removing my hair. My leg hair is mostly medium brown, and reasonably fine. The hair came away easily after 5 minutes, and the scraper is a handy tool for scraping off the hair. Afterwards my legs felt smooth, and the regrowth is much less stubbly because it has not been cut such as when I use a razor.
The negatives are that this has a terrible chemical smell. It really stinks. It also creates a terrible mess. I can see why they suggest standing in your bathtub or shower to apply this because the white foam gets everywhere! It is also very slippery if you get it on the floor, so be careful. Also, it is hard to control the pressure on the nozzle. Sometimes the cream would come out very thickly, and other times it was sparser. I have quite short legs, but I still had to use quite a lot of foam to cover them properly. The second time I went to use this, I only got one leg covered before the foam ran out! This seems quite expensive for a hair removal product to only get 1 ½ uses out of it.
Altogether, I think this is a good idea for a product, but it is very messy and smelly. I will stick to using a hair removal cream for now.
Like most women, I don't love shaving my legs. I find it annoying and I hate the stubble you get when the hair grows back. So when I first laid eyes on this I was super excited to give it a go.
Firstly the scent didn't do a lot for me. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. However, I figured that it didn't really matter what it smelled like as long as it worked.
After reading the instructions, I applied this and left it on for 5 mins. I was hesitant to leave it longer as I didn't want to get burned.
Unfortunately this didn't perform for me. It took away some of the hair but it left my legs patchy and I had to shave them after using this to get a super smooth leg. I assumed that maybe I did it wrong and tried it twice more, leaving it on for ten mins.
This didn't really seem to make much of a difference - my legs were still patchy in places and I had to shave them where this hadn't worked.
Thus I stopped using it as it took longer than shaving my legs, gave this to my sister and asked how it worked for her. She had the same outcome - she had to shave her legs after using it as well.
I won't be buying this again. However, I feel like I didn't waste my money purchasing it as I would have always wondered if it worked - so I am glad I tried it, however I wouldn't recommend it.
