Depilatory Face Cream By TremendousTrifle on Sep 23, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I used this cream to remove upper lip hair on my face. The fact that it was right under my nose for several minutes made me sick of the strong chemical smell very quickly. The cream was very easy to apply, though, with no mess and no need to use my fingers. The cream made my upper lip tingle while using it. Although I left on for more then the minimum suggested time (without going over the maximum and risking skin irritation), not all of the hair was removed. Most of the hair wiped off easily, but a few of the thin hairs didn't come off at all, but there were few enough that it was easy to just pluck them out. It was several days before I had to reuse the cream, which is longer then if I were to just shave. It was not as effective as waxing would have been, and it took a little longer. However, if a person was truely adverse to waxing thier upper lip, I would reccomend this product to them as an alternative.
