Avon Hair Removal Creme Pen By Gayle Parks on Aug 30, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Okay, I am 45 years old and come from a long line of Hairy-Chinned Women so I was delighted to see this product in the Avon catalog. I paid about $3.00 for it but that was a special price because it was a new product. I personally think Avon is expensive and I am sure the regular price is much more than $3.00. It is a good idea; a creme hair removal product in the form of a pen. And it is easy to apply. You just twist on the bottom of the pen until the creme oozes into the brush tip and apply. It is meant to be used on the face so the pen shape is perfect for easy application. However, unless you have tiny little peach fuzz hairs on your chin don't bother with this product. It had absolutely no effect on the three or four fairly course hairs on my chin that I contend with regularly. I even left it on for several minutes past the maximum time limit and still it had no effect. It did, however, remove all the much smaller, peach fuzzy hairs on my chin which made the coarse hairs easier to see and grip with a treezwer so I guess it wasn't a total wash-out. The smell, of course, was unpleasant because all hair removal products stink. Overall though, don't set your expectations too high if you decide to buy this product.
