Manicare Crystal Hair Remover

Thanks to BR for this awesome product and opportunity to review it

I have tried a number of hair removal option — shaving, waxing, cream, epilator, IPL — and not erasing! I have been wanting to try it for a number of months, but was quite sceptical.

When I pulled the crystal out of the box, I was very surprised to see a rather large nail file claiming to remove my leg hairs!! So I quickly read how to use it, and did a couple of rounds on my leg. And as my son says “oh my GOOOOOODNESS”. I am converted.

I would usually epilate my legs, which is slightly painful, and leaves me all blotchy where the hair follicle was before getting plucked out. It is also usually night time when I remember to epilate my legs, so that’s not very good when you have just put the Toddler to bed.

But this hand held piece of magic doesn’t give me any reactions, pain, or noise. It give you smooth, “exfoliated”, hair-free skin. I even did a few sneaky rounds on my husbands hairy hand…hair eradicated.

A week later, I have 1-2mm regrown. Quickly tested the Crystal in this little guys…GONE.

total winner from me!

I was very excited to trial this product, I had seen in advertised online for ages and had been very tempted. However, I thought there is no way that works. I can say for an absolute fact it works, and works well.

The first time I used it I was so excited. I used it on dry skin. Results were very smooth! Definitely exfoliates too. You can see the dry skin on your legs, kinda gross but satisfying.

Few things I found. . .It didn't work for me if my skin was wet. I did get a little itchy 2 days after using. I found using moisturizer straight after rinsing worked better. But haven't had it for long enough to say it doesn't itch at all. I'll keep trialing. I did find it to be a lot of rubbing to get it perfect and not miss spots. I wish part of it had a curve as it is hard to do front of shins as it's very flat and hard. I liked the shape, made it easy to grip and hold when using.

Over all very impressed and I would use and purchase again!

I was excited to trial this as it seems like a more convenient, clean and pain free way of removing hair than other methods. Unfortunately it dod not work for me.

The product looks nice, it's stylish and well presented and easy to hold in your hand. I only used this on my legs as it seems too rough for other areas. My hair is quite thick as it's winter and i haven't been shaving as much. I followed all the instructions but it was just no good at removing hair. I think it did exfoliate my skin and left it quite smooth though.

Definitely wouldn't bother purchasing, I'll be sticking to shaving.

Its very cute to look at, and really easy to hold. I used it on dry skin in circular motions. I do feel like it removed most of my hairs and left my hair feeling very smooth as it acted like an exfoliation aswell. It is easy to use and it doesn't really take that long either. I would say it is waaaay better than waxing, (although it doesn't last as long) and not as messy as shaving. I do think the hairs have grown back finer but that may be wishful thinking. I haven't noticed any ingrown hairs but i don't get many on your legs anyway. It's a little tricky around the ankles and knees.

Interesting little gadget. Though it worked well don't be too eager and press to hard, kind of feels like carper burn afterwards. Learned my lesson and lighteninged up on the grip and from there it was smooth sailing. It does a good job of removing the hair, even the coarser hair on my legs. If you are in a hurry this might be a quick fix. Good for travelling as well, small enough to not take up too much space.

Stoked to have been selected for this trial. Have seen similar products on the market but got my chance to try it.

Received the Lilac purple shade. It looks cute. Followed the instructions on the box and attempted to use. I had not hair removed my arms so there was a lot to work with. It didn't pull on my arm hairs per se but did feel a bit like buffing it into non existence. I still have some hair in patches it's not completely smooth like I would have expected. Felt more like an exfoliating product than a hair remover.

As weird as this sounds, I like it for knuckle and toe hair removal. Easy and effective on these areas. I did try on my leg as it was normal regrowth from shaving. Appeared to perform better on shorter hairs.

Compared to my normal form of hair removal for my arms (depilatory cream) this didn't make the cut. It would be faster and less effort to use my other method than using the crystal hair remover.

The hair remover fits well in my hand and is super easy to use. I found the results worked best on my legs, and it is too difficult to remove armpit hair. I normally shave my legs every night in the shower with a blade, but Manicare Crystal Hair Remover seems to work better and I can get away with shave my legs once or twice a week. What I enjoyed most was trying it on my upper lip! It did an amazingly good job without all the pain of waxing or tweezing. That alone is worth buying this.

I received the Lilac option which is a very pretty purple. The remover has an ergonomic heart-like shape and even though it's smooth and not rubbery it doesn't slip out of the hand. After use, it's suggested to store in the cardboard packaging it came in - I get it's more environmentally friendly, but that's probably not going to outlast the remover itself.

Does it work? Yes. Although my lower legs became incredibly itchy a day after use (perhaps I did not use enough moisturiser), other areas did not have the same problem. The skin is left silky smooth. It does take longer than shaving, but not having to do it in the shower is a bonus. It also gives a great exfoliation. I found that this works best on short hairs and slightly longer, fine hairs. I tested a patch on my husband's leg and it took a lot longer to work.

I'll keep using this, but make sure I slather in moisturiser in the future.

Let me start out by saying I have normal skin, both face and body. I am pretty lucky and don't have any issues with shaving or waxing etc. I was excited to try this, especially the fact that it was going to buff my skin at the same time.

Firstly, I am not convinced it was 100% pain free, and it wasn't quick. I tried this on my arms first, and it sort of caught on the tiny hairs and would pull at them, rather than removing them. I changed angles, but still had similar issues. It also took a really long time, and I think this created further issues for me. It took so long I actually think it ended up removing layers of skin. I found my skin to be quite sore to the touch in the days following, almost as if had been sunburned.

I did like how smooth it left my skin, but that only lasted for the one day.

I tried using it to get my arms as smooth as possible, and then I tried it one week later to see if it would get the tiny hairs, which it did not.

I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical when this turned up and I took a good look at it, I thought there was no way it would work on my leg hairs after 16+ years of shaving.

My legs only had a few days of growth when this arrived but thought it give it a go anyway - I washed them in the shower then thoroughly dried them before using the tool in circular motions - it actually worked and left my legs feeling super smooth.

I also thought I'd try it on my arms - which I dont usually use any form of hair removal on so the hair is very fine - unfortunately although it worked, it left my skin feeling grazed and a bit sore so I probably would stick to using this on my legs only.

This would be great for those who aren't sensitive when you need a dry form of hair removal and dont have time to shower etc beforehand.

One improvement I would suggest is some sort of case for storage - the packaging it comes in isnt suitable to be kept long term and the crystal side of the tool could easy scratch some items/surfaces
