Veet Hair Removal Cream for Sensitive Skin Review

This stuff has been around for a long time right? My Nan and I had a chat about it, she said she use to always use it back in her day. I don't usually get to lock my self in the bathroom for a set amount of time because of my little one, and this is a product you really need to keep away from little ones. So, when I found the time for a private shower without interruptions I gave it ago. It worked, it didnt sting either. So yes, it does what it says. It past the test! I did have a couple stray heres left I had to get with a shaver but it def saved shaving cuts from rushing to shave in a short time.

Ok I have super sensitive skin so this still didn't really help with that at all. It did the job and removed hair, but there were still a few patches present!

I still found the smell wasn't pleasant! I would use it again but it's annoying that it costs $16 but doesn't go far at all!!

My first impression upon getting this product is that it came in nice packaging. More often than not, hair removal creams come in packaging that are too bulky or are encased in hard plastic making squeezing and getting enough product out impossible. This came in a pastel coloured, malleable plastic tube which I appreciated.

It has a pleasant scent that I doubt a lot of people would hate, it smells fresh mixed with the smell of every other hair removal cream.

The texture is very unlike any hair removal creams I’ve ever used, it’s smooth and is reminiscent of a fast absorbing lotion in terms of how it feels on the skin.

I tried in on my underarms and my legs. I’m not brave enough to try it on my bikini line but it is possible to use the product on that area.

The product claims to:

Provide smoothness for twice as long as shaving – I don’t believe that’s true. My underarm and leg hair grew at the same rate it would if I had shaved them.

Works close to the root – I’m a bit iffy on this statement because it was true for my legs but not for my underarms.

Works on short hair – this clam is definitely true, it did work well on my leg hairs which are short and fine.

You will have “silky-soft, cared-for skin” after using it – this claim comes from the fact that the product contains Vitamin E and aloe vera and I do agree with it. I have sensitive skin and it seemed to leave my legs and underarms softer.

Hair regrowth feels softer – I also agree with this statement, my underarm hair is thick and as it grew after using this hair removal cream, the hair felt softer and less coarse.

So to recap, I do love and semi dislike certain things about this product. It definitely works but I wouldn’t go and rush out to buy it when it’s gone. I think it’s your bog standard hair removal cream. It wasn’t great but it did its job and my sensitive skin wasn’t irritated in the slightest. This is a great product for someone who wants to try out hair removal creams for the first time.

Personally, although this product removed the hair effectively, I did not enjoy the days after as the hair began to grow back. I had trouble with ingrown hairs and it grew back too quickly for my liking. Wax all the way for me now.

I have used Veet hair removal products for many years. I particularly like this one because my skin has gotten more sensitive over the years. I don't use it often now, preferring a professional wax, but use it sometimes for peach fuzz instead of shaving.

It comes in a pretty coloured box with the Veet logo and has a mild fragrance (although I'm not a fan of the smell of depilatory creams - they have a kind of pain memory that goes with the smell).

The cream is a soft, toothpaste-y consistency and spreads easily on the skin. After leaving it for a few minutes it comes off easily (damp make up pad or facecloth with cold water) taking all the hair with it. Usually it leaves no marks but just occasionally (hormones?) it leaves a slightly burning rash that lasts all day. I also found the area it was used on can sometimes be irritated by cleansing/moisturising products or foundations up to 24 hours after use, and burns if I forget and apply progesterone cream after using it.

Overall I think this is a good product and I would recommend it. The price is a good average price for the quality of the product.

I tried this because a friend recommended it to me, for her it does exactly what it's meant to, every time and she loves it. It didn't work so well on me unfortunately... I used it on my legs and left it on for about 7mins (i forgot to set the timer!) and rubbed it off with a towel in the shower. It worked well in some areas, in others it looked like I hadn't used it at all! I think the problem is that I have really dry skin, so when I put it on, it pretty much just soaked straight into my skin. I reapplied in some around my lower leg, and that's where it worked the best. I will try this again, but making sure my legs are not too dry beforehand. Areas of my legs stung a bit for a few hours afterwards too, but that was ok after I moisturised. The day after my legs were fine with no areas of redness etc. I actually found the smell quite pleasant for a hair removal cream, it was not that strong and definitely better than others I've tried in the past.

We all face the issues of removing unwanted hair from our body. There are many options for the same like waxing, epilators, razors, laser treatments and the most recent one, IPL hair removal. But the most handy one is to use a hair removal cream though I don't prefer it over waxing or epilation but sometimes when I am in a hurry and don't have the patience to sit for waxing or epilating, I do use this hair removal cream.

The cream has a thick consistency, but it spreads quite easily and covers the area from which the hair needs to be removed. I don't feel any kind of sensation, itching, burning while the cream is on. The only thing I detest is the awful smell. Sometimes, I have to reapply as all hair are not removed. But, after that my skin does feel very soft devoid of obnoxious hair. I quickly take a shower after using it to get rid of the smell. Skin remains hair free for a week and after which I start to see small hair growing out. The packaging is quite handy as well.

Its a good quick fix and always comes in handy when you don't have much time and so I would repurchase it!

I use it in the shower and I did not like it. I hate the strong smell and hate how it makes my legs go red and sore. I did do a good job removing my hair but the feeling after-removing is not nice. Would not buy it again.

I like this product, but you have to let your hair grow longer than you usually might between shaving. The scent is not pleasant, and you can sort of smell your hair "burning off". It really does work though, and leaves your skin suoer smooth but that is the only positive about this product. For the price, you dont get much and if you use on both legs it used quite a bit of the product. I wouldnt use this again for large areas.

I'm really mixed emotions about this product, it's helpful but not really. Let me explain ..

So I was looking for shaving cream to help me shave those hard stubborn bits I always miss.

This cream has a super strong smell, and it's not really pleasant my whole bathroom smelt like it and my partner was really horrified with the smell haha opps.

It did make shaving a little easier but didn't help too much with the stubborn bits, ugh annoying but it was a much quicker process shaving the hair off. The tube lasted me about 3 showers then I needed a new one so not too ideal for tall people with long legs and arms.

I think it would've helped if I had a bath, and could use this and shave in there to get it all perfectly right. It does come with a tool - I didn't use it because from previous experience it doesn't work, so I just use a cheap shaver I have to help remove the hair. Just not sure if I'd buy this again.. it did make shaving quicker though and it shaved almost everything off..
