I went into this trial not really knowing what to expect, considering I have only ever shaved before and never even heard of a crystal hair remover. Well, I have been pleasantly surprised! The hair remover I received is sleek, black and kind of shaped like a computer mouse, which makes it comfortable to hold and easy to get into hard spots. When I first felt the crystal surface with my hand it was quite rough and wondered if it would hurt to use, but this product is actually quite painless! Using slow, small scrubbing motions I found worked best for me, with moderate pressure which didn't irritate my skin at all! It definitely worked as an exfoliant, taking the top dead layer of skin off alongside all the hair, leaving my skin looking admittedly more pale, but hairless and incredibly smooth! This is definitely something you have to commit a certain amount of time to, rather then a quick shave that some may be used to but I found the crystal hair remover very effective and user friendly. It may be gross, but I even tried it on my fathers hairy legs and it worked just as well, so if there's any men reading, it's kind of a one size fits all kind of thing! Overall, a very useful and effective product for those who may struggle with strawberry legs or cutting yourself whilst shaving. :)

Tips: Definitely have a moisturiser on standby, as this product needs to be used dry and can leave you very ashy.
Holy heck where do I start, this little gadget is AMAZING! I used it the day I received, It’s so easy to use and the results are great. I used it on my legs, gave it a rinse under warm water like it said to do, waited for it to dry and tried it on my face removing the peach fuzz I’ve grown to dislike! The results are unbelievable leaving my skin feeling so soft and smooth. This is definitely one product I will always have now, I’m buying my Daughter one before she adopts this one as her own! I’m also going away on holiday for 2 weeks so now I don’t need to worry about taking a razor with me or having to buy one when we land because I’ll have my crystal hair remover with me!
Tips: There’s a code scanner on the side of the box, I scanned it and it took me to a video on how to use it properly, caring for your skin etc I found that really helpful.
I’ve seen these all over my socials and I just couldn’t wrap my head around how it really works. I was also very nervous of damaging my skin because it looked quite abrasive. So when I gave it a go I was pleasantly surprised on how fast and easy it took my leg hairs off, I waited to see overnight to see if I would have any reaction or redness the next day and it was minimal and my legs felt so silky and smooth, amazing! This would be a great product for travelling on the go because it’s light and compact in size. I only tried on my legs and maybe my arms next but I wouldn’t recommend using this product anywhere else such as intimate areas, underarms or even your face. Definitely would use this product again!
This is a great product if your wanting to remove fine hairs and have smooth and shiny skin afterwards without barely any work. It is so easy to use and does get into hard to get areas. I love the design of it and it really does work. My skin has honestly never been smoother I highly recommend
Tips: Don't use to much pressure just nice and light and use circular motion
I was really excited to see this be an item to try as a trial member however, I was a bit disappointed in how it performed.
I found it didn't really do as it said by removing hair but it did exfoliate! I used small circular motions and applied just enough pressure so that it sits on the skin. I learnt the hard way the first time I used it to not push down too hard otherwise it leaves the skin with a very "cool" feeling and later red bumps appear. It was slightly painful a few days later as well.
I used it on my legs and my arms. I will say it takes a long long time to use and hair is not removed every time, you need to go over areas and if you go over areas too much it starts getting a bit sore. I found that along the shin bone of the leg, it was really difficult to use as the remover doesn't sit flush with the bone and so I wasn't able to use it there. It would be nice if it was curved or something rather than flat so I was able to get the shin bone.
Overall, my good ol' shaver wins this time as this took way longer and results are not guaranteed! Plus I was left a bit red and sore.
Tips: Don't push too hard and don't go over areas too much!
Before using this I was unsure if it would actually work as I had tried things similar and much to my surprise it did and done a very good job. It was easy to use and easy to clean afterwards , exfoliates very well and does remove that hair. I would definitely buy another one of these as a back up , so handy and easy to store away due to size. I’ve been using this every morning / second morning and my legs are soo smooth and not dry. I think the price of these is great compared to the price of hair removal creams and razors and you can bring this anywhere
Tips: Moisturise well after
The manicare crystal hair remover feels like one of those glass nail files. It’s easy to hold in either hand and the grip side has a matte finish so it doesn’t slip.
You use it in circular motions to effectively buff off the hair. It’s challenging to get into crevices, like the dents at your elbow. You do get the smell of burning hair (like with the cream chemical removers) but overall it definitely functions. It removed most of the hair from my arms (I have very hairy arms) though it was a little patchy and stung a little, I think I overdid it a fraction. You have to be a bit careful not to over exfoliate.
I used it on my leg - one leg dry-shave and the other crystal removal. The time was similar though I am faster at shaving. The results felt the same and after a couple of days they still feel the same. But it was my shaved leg that had bit more of a sting this time for a bit after (that is normal for me and I have heard it happens if you do that use fresh blades).
Overall, it’s a novel idea. I wouldn’t use it for my regular hair removal product but it would be great of you’re going away camping with less access to water and not have to worry about the blades dulling or rusting. So the crystal remover has it’s place for sure.
I am currently in the process of doing laser and even though I don't have too much hair it's fine and it still needs to be removed and the area needs to be exfoliated before sessions and I find this tool is the perfect thing to do both. I think even post laser hairs will not be entirely gone but this will be perfect for maintenance instead of shaving. My legs have never been as soft as they were post using this, my man was very pleased. I absolutely love it and have been raving about it to everyone I know.
Tips: Work in circular motions and be patient, it takes a while to work it's not as quick as shaving but the results are better.
This is an interesting concept and one which I was intrigued by when I first heard about it. I often have dry legs with the odd inflamed follicle after shaving my legs so the exfoliating nature of this hair remover was really good. The object itself fits nice into your hand although after awhile I did have a bit of a cramp. The crystal pad tends me of a crystal nail file and as you rub it on your legs in the circular motion described it is clearly sloughing off any dead skin. My legs felt so smooth! I found it quite tricky to remove all the hair especially in areas like behind the knees and around the ankles. After using you are left with a white dust (skin I guess) all over and the box says to rinse legs after use. I couldn't be bothered with that but gave them a rub down with my towel. My legs felt beautifully smooth but this would be no good in the summer after tanning as it would remove the layer of tan. The next day I could feel some hair again so it's definitely something you would need to use really regularly. I think using this the night of a tan would be ideal as you'd get a smooth surface without the open pores of shaving.
Tips: Practice makes perfect. This is worth persevering with I think.
I wasn't sure if I believed it could be pain free without a razor. But I was pleasantly surprised! As a mum of a young baby I don't have time to shave lately, showers are a quick in and out. I love this product as I can do it anywhere I can just sitting with my little man. Only reason this doesn't get 5 stars all around is because it says it can reach every part of your body, it doesn't incredibly on the arms and legs but in other areas you may want to remove hair it is not ideal. I tried my armpits and they are on fire from the friction. I would use it again definitely on my legs when I'm a rush and haven't had time to do them. This the perfect product
Tips: Wouldn't use this if you have dry or sensitive skin. I would definitely have a good moisturiser ready for afterwards. I would only use on tougher skin like your arms, legs or back Works on medium growth
