I was tentative about trying a depilatory, as my skin often reacts very unpredictably to new products. Amazingly, I had no trouble with the moisturizing Shower Power! I followed the instructions to the letter and left it on my legs for exactly 10 minutes, then scrubbed the hair off. I just used the bottle for the third time last night and there is still enough left for a fourth. Great value, no irritation, no nicks and cuts.
This one works! I have sensitive skin, and while initially after using it was a little red, after applying lotion afterward I have no irritation. The product works, I have smooth skin without the pain of shaving or the mess, no funny smell. Reason for four stars: had to use entire bottle for one application (full leg & half arm) with the thin layer with the sponge. Also application takes a little more patience than you would need just using your hands.
I applied the product as instructed, used about 1/3 of the container, and left on for 5-6 minutes. Ouch! There's no way I would keep it on for the full ten minutes--my skin was burning and tender and I am still nursing large (3 inch) itchy red rash blotches all over my legs one week later. This stuff is lethal! And to top it off, now the hair is back and I can't shave without re-injuring the abrasions!
I used this on my bikini area, which in retrospect may not have been the best idea. I was in so much pain after rinsing this off that, instead of the romantic night I had planned with my boyfriend, we spent the evening icing my crotch and watching Friends reruns! Beware!
On the plus side, it did remove ALL the hair. On the minus side, it also removed most of the skin.
i used this product because i could not find veet at the store and wanted to be clean shaven for a while without a razor I have used serveral dilapatory products before. The smell was fine for this type of product and it actually removed my leg hair fine and used probably 1/3 the bottle so the value is fine. BUT the sponge is rinky dink and i found my hand touching the product more than the sponge did. The worst part is that my LEGS are burning and look irritated even after liberal application of soothing oatmeal lotion. I will never use this again as I'd rather have hairy legs than red burning itchy ones!
good luck if you do try it!
At first I thought that the hair on my legs wasn't coming off because I hadn't applied enough Nair (even though my leg hair is not particularly thick or coarse). However, the Nair cream was strong enough that it actually made my legs bleed. I have little red scabby dots all over my knees, down my calves, a few on an ankle, from this stuff. I'm putting on gobs of aloe every night and more aloe in the morning to heal the bloody dots. It's been 5 days and the bit of hair that it took off is back but I'm worried that shaving my legs will open up the Nair-scabs. In other words, I'd run far, far away from this product.
This product was terrible. I used it as directed and it did not stay on in the shower even though my legs had BARELY any contact with water until it was time to rinse it off. I also tried using it outside the shower and it did not work well at all in that situation either.
Had the pump just over six months. At first it worked great, but then began to leak on the presta input unless it was shoved really hard down -- by that I mean almost more than a 30mm valve stem. So I... Buzzed for: Ascent Mega Force Floor Pump

It's very noisy and the remote control can be hard to use and doesn't have as many controls as I'd like. It's perfectly fine for a little kid though. :/ Buzzed for: Disney Princess DVD Player
