Benzoyl Peroxide; generic name BenzacÒ AC is a Keratolytic Gel it is an effective solution for treating Acne.(“AC” are the initials for Acrylates Copolymer beads which act to absorb oil and release glycerin to moisturize dry/irritated skin.)

Veet Hair Removal Cream

Veet

Hair Removal Cream

Finally I’ve found the best solution to remove some of my unwanted hair and it is proven to work even on, very short hair. On my recent product review about Watson’s Facial Wax Strips, You can read my review about it here. "http://summerscentdays.blogspot.com/2013/11/watsons-facial-wax-strips-facial-wax.html" Unfortunately, I’ve found out that it doesn’t work on very short hair and you’ll find yourself hurting after stripping the wax strips. This is why I was really glad when I came across with Veet Hair Removal Cream. It is very easy to use you just have to apply the cream covering the area you want to remove and just wait for a minimum of 5minutes until hair removal was successful.

Veet’s formula is effective no matter how long or short the hair is, including very short hair. It is designed for use on legs, arms, underarms & bikini line, but not suitable for use on the face, head, breast, perianal or genital areas or on any body parts. (But I use it in the face on my upper lip, and I found no adverse reaction so I think it is safe to use) It can remove unwanted hair with a minimum of 5 minutes and maximum of 10. Take note not to exceed 10 minutes in application time. Hence, it is designed for sensitive skin; its formula is enriched with Aloe Vera & Vitamin E. 

Texture:

Non-sticky unlike Facial Wax Strips

Sometimes it was itchy so if ever you experience any tingling during use, remove the cream immediately and rinse thoroughly with water. If this sensation persists please seek medical advice.

Smell:

Smells like Aloe Vera

Likes:

Available in Mercury Drug Stores (easy to find)

Easy to use and it works even on very short hair

How to use?

Apply directly onto the skin, spreading the cream evenly to fully cover the hair.

How much do you need?

Just apply the right amount of cream, just enough to cover the area. Leave the cream on the skin for 5 minutes.

Gently use the head of the spatula to test a small area.

If hair comes away easily, remove the rest of the cream with the spatula. If you feel you have more stubborn or thick hair, I recommend leaving the cream on a little longer, up to, but NOT EXCEEDING than 10 MINUTES in total.

Rinse skin thoroughly with water after use and dry.
