Veet Hair Removal Cream for Sensitive Skin Review

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.

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.

This product stung and left me with little sore bumps afterwards, exactly what it isn't meant to do. Would not use again

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.

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!!

first off, i went through a whole tube of the cream for knees down. Which for $16, i would expect a couple of applications. it was easy to apply and was firm, so it was great to be able to carry on with my day until time to wash off. i wouldnt recommend using just before going out etc as it did leave red scratch marks from scraping the cream off. half an hour later the marks are gone and my legs are smooth so it is pretty good. Although im a waxing kinda girl, ill see how long my legs stay smooth. update- the next day i had prickles!!

Loved the fact it didn't stink! I can't use the regular hair removal cream because of skin irritation, but fantastically this stuff worked unexpectedly well! Had to use it twice to get desired result, but to be fair, I haven't shaved in aaages! Very happy with how well and EASILY it works

This hair removal cream sort of worked but sort of didnt, it got off most of my leg hairs but there were still a few left behind that the cream couldn't get rid of. I left it on for about 5 minutes so I will be trying it again for about 8 minutes to see if that does the trick. Left my legs feeling very moisturized though which was great

Sick of having to shave every day? Give Veet Hair Removal for Sensitive Skin a try!

This cream is thick yet light. Very easy to apply. Use the tool supplied to get a good layer and to stop you from using too much.

Has a very strong smell to it which isn't very pleasant but the good thing is that is comes off in the shower :)

I found that I had to use quite a bit to get a good coverage so this bottle would last me about 4 or 5 uses.

This product would actually be a good buy and I'm going to buy more. Very good price and worth the value.

The packaging is nice and simple and not overdone. Very pleasant on the eyes.

I have very sensitive skin and it's good to fine something that doesn't irritate my skin.

This product does exactly what it claims to do. The results are awesome and I'm going to tell all my friends and family about this product because it's going to make my life a whole lot easier :)

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.
