A great product, but DO NOT USE ON BALLSACK.
This stuff works by literally melting your hair off (it'll do it to your fingernails, too so don't leave it sitting on your nails). It's difficult to mix until you get the hang of it (pack it to the side of your salsa bowl or whatever you're using and then force the water into it with your finger) but get it into a nice paste, put it on any body part you want, find out the time to leave it on that works best for you (The directions say 5-7 minutes, but I have to leave it on for 8-10 minutes, because I have abnormally strong hairs. I can't even shave with a normal razor, I have to use the Schick Hydro 5 Power Select to be able to shave properly. I also wear out razors way way faster than is normal, and yes I use shaving cream and take care of the razors.), make sure it doesn't dry out (it needs to stay somewhat slippery) and then scrub off in the shower with a plastic loofa and it will leave your skin smoother than my ass when I was born, according to an authority on the subject (LOL). Hydrates your skin phenomenally well and removes any dead or dry skin that may be giving you trouble. I have used this once on my legs, fingers and groin after shaving my body regularly for about a year now, and it was much, MUCH less damaging to my skin, and even rejuvenated my dry and damaged skin as mentioned previously. My only issue with this product, as you may guess from my title, was when I decided to use this on my groin, as it had done such wonders for my legs. Let's just say I'm glad I also recently purchased a 13oz tub of vaseline because hoo BOY did this stuff burn the hell out of my balls. It actually might blister is how bad it is, and left a visible burn. It only burned the very front of my ballsack, and was fine everywhere else, but my skin right there was just too sensitive for this stuff. Perhaps others could get away with using this there, as I have pretty sensitive skin, but here's your warning regardless. Good: -Very close shave, resulting in exceptionally smooth skin. -Rejuvenates skin exceptionally well. Bad: -Difficult to mix until proper technique is learned. -Must be kept moist at all times. It'll be a hassle to some of the people who wish to use this on their body, instead of their face. I recommend doing this in your shower, standing outside of the water so the air is very humid, and you may daub a small amount of water onto wherever is necessary. -Will take hair off of ANY body part, so you have to be careful not to get it where you don't want it. -Will probably damage some people's skin if used too often, as it literally melts your hair. -BURNS THE HELL OUT OF YOUR BALLSACK.

Great shave powder!
Wonderful for shaving without razor! Maybe to strong for sensitive skin!

2 Attemps on the same day, once on each leg
I'm pale, and have dark colored leg hair. I have not shaved in weeks, so my leg hair was pretty long. My leg hair also is sparse in some areas. Attempt 1: Lower Left Leg (I have somewhat sensitive skin, and was nervous about chemical burns so I did this as gently as possible regarding time left on and removing it) I mixed 2 teaspoons of powder with 2 teaspoons of water as the container instructed. The mexture was too runny. I added another teaspoon of powder, and it became thicker, almost glue like consistency, and wasn't really runny. I set the timer, applied it with a paintbrush, and shortly after the timer went off, I rinsed it off with cool water, while simultaneously using a spatula in stubborn areas. It seems like I rinsed with water for about 5 minutes. I'd guesstimate about 65% of hair was removed. I was let down by the results, especially because of the hassle of mixing the solution and the amount of time the process took for just 1 leg, and just figured this isn't the product for .e. I'm stubborn. After waiting a couple of hours and not having any burns or skin reactions, I decided to try again on my right leg. Attempt 2: Lower Right Leg *After watching some more videos, I found a very small pastic container with a lid. I used 3 teaspoons of powder and 2 teaspoons of water, closed the lid, and shook the container for about a minute. I opened the container and saw that it was mixed well, like a smooth peanut butter consistency, but there was still some excess powder remaining. I added a 1/2 teaspoon of water, and shook like crazy. Upon opening the container, there were smooth ball formations of the mixture, so I just smashed/mixed them up with a spoon, and it looked ready to go since it was not runny at all, resembling smooth frosting/peanutbutter.* I again applied the mixture with a paintbrush going in the direction of my hair growth(downwards). I turned on the 7 minute timer after I finished applying it all to my right leg. Around the 4 minute mark, I noticed some areas were already dry (the mixture never got quite dry in my 1st attempt on my left leg) so I misted those dry areas with a spray bottle. After 7 minutes, I got a soft wash cloth and saturated it with cool water. Using moderate pressure ( because I was still worried about irritating the area), I began removing my hair going against my hair growth (upwards), rinsing the washcloth off between each swipe. I'd guesstimate over 90% of my hair was removed. The 2nd attempt obviously worked better for me. It was much easier to mix it that way, and not as time consuming. Removing the mixture with a soft wash cloth wasn't irritating, and I felt the product was removed completely, and my right leg definitely feels softer than my left leg. I feel like the 2nd attempt took half of the time of my 1st attempt. Each time I used it, I only experienced a mild tingling sensation for about 2 minutes. I'll definitely use this product again, and will update if I become brave enough to use it on more sensitive areas. Please like my review if you found it helpful. I'm attaching pictures of the difference between my left and right leg results after using the product.

Must read!
I have mixed feelings on this product, it smells really bad but the smell doesnt linger in the house just make sure your in a well venilated area while applying! Make sure you mix it and make it THICK otherwise it will not take off any hair, I made the mistake of mixing it and it was very thin and watery and I applied it on my armpits, waited 7 mintutes wiped it off and nothing came off so I made the paste thicker and applied to my legs and it took off most the hairs with the exception of a patch by my shin idk why. I decided to go back in and do the armpits even though it says to wait before reapplying im a bit of a rebel so I didnt listen and let me tell you it removed my hair but my armpits burned for a whole day afterwards and were slightly red, so do NOT reapply right away if it doesnt work the first time! Lastly I decided to do my lady bits which I was pretty confident in doing so I made sure I didnt get too carried away kept it in the proper areas, even did my booty hole cause why not lol anyways I have sensitive skin especially the inner thigh like in the pubic region which I found out was not a good idea to apply there because it burnt my skin and I had a burn for a good two days. Overall I bought this product because I dont like shaving and read that this keeps you smooth longer than if you were to shave but that wasnt the case for me, literally I was starting to get pokey little cactus fuzz back the next day! So really the effort and time it takes to do this just isnt worth it to me personally but its worth a try maybe it'll work better for you?

Really Magic!
So like every lady I’m constantly on a quest to be hairless everywhere but eyebrows, lashes, and head of course. Ya know gotta conform to those societal beauty standards and what not. I’ve tried basically everything, basic shaving (which works okay but tedious, leaves bumps), Nair (burns), waxing (too painful to do yourself), and sugaring (same thing as waxing fr). Because of all the failures I WAS gonna try out nair for sensitive skin. I was looking at those reviews it mentioned that this stuff was better? So I looked into it a bit and was told for the “sensitive areas” this particular magic stuff was the best option because of the aloe and such. Plus I have sensitive skin anyways and didn’t really want to risk a chemical burn with the extra strength one, despite the fear of it not being strong enough. After trying it I was very surprised. After putting it EVERYWHERE including the 🐱 it didn’t burn and it worked! However although the skin is smooth as hell, it’s not PERFECT it will leave a few hairs randomly but really not much so it’s not typically patchy per say but I like to do tiny touching up with a razor after wards (which won’t burn you). After you do the whole process it’s like a Brazilian wax with no pain. So to me is it worth it? Hell yes. The scent is about as bad as Nair’s and still takes time, but the pros outweigh these cons. Just please follow the instructions! Make sure to do a patch test as well before impulsively slapping it all over! I know it’s tempting but it could save a lot of problems.

Caused Ingrown hairs and razor bumps for African American Male
I got this product with the hopes it would be able to successfully remove my C4 hair without causing any ingrown hairs or razor bumps. After trying shaving with a single blade, using a trimmer, and this product...nothing works. It removes hair well but I had to use a quick second application on thicker parts of my beard. DO NOT put on a second application for the same amount of time as the first one! I had my second application for half of the originally designated time. The complaints about it damaging sensitive skin seem to come from mostly white people, so their skin may be more sensitive than mine. The product tells you to try it on a small part of your body and wait 24 hours before slapping it directly on your face. I personally did not experience any blisters, welts, or reddening of the skin(although it would be harder to tell because of my complexion) that they are describing. After applying this on my face, I used a skin cream/lotion on my face which caused a stinging sensation. This sensation went away after a few days, I'm assuming my skin had healed by then. After a week, my hair grew back and I started to get a lot of ingrown hairs. I spent a TON of time tweezing each one out. Additionally, my skin started to itch from razor bumps but I had a separate cream that stopped that issue. Would I buy it again? No. Will I use it again? HELL NO. I WOULD NOT recommend this product for anyone who has coarse and curly hair, such as myself.

Best Tiktok Recommendation of 2021
I, like most of us, saw this product on TikTok by a user that swore by this product. I decided to buy it and give it a try to see for myself if it was all that she had cracked it up to be. I read all of the reviews before purchasing, and decided to take all of the negative reviews with a grain of salt. I let my leg hair, armpit hair, and pubic hair grow out to about an 1/8” before trying. (had to do a triple whammy, all or nothing right?) WELL. I honestly give this product an 8.5/10. A lot of reviews I saw had complaints about mixing and the smell, I will admit that the powder does take a while to actually mix into the water, but if you follow the instructions it really isn’t that hard to get the correct consistency. I did this in a bathroom with an open window because the girl on TikTok recommended to do it in a well ventilated place due to the smell. The smell really isn’t that bad. It has a subtle chemical aroma, but NOTHING compared to Nair. It’s truly very subtle and not very bothersome. As for the consistency, it’s creamy and honestly pretty easy to apply. It goes on like lotion in a sense, but I did notice that you have to apply it kind of thick to reduce the dry-out of the product as it is sitting on your skin. I am fair in complexion with fairly irritable skin, and I have eczema. I left the product on my legs for the recommended time because my leg hair is finer in texture, and it’s blonde. For my underarms and pubic area, I caked the product on a little thicker and left it on longer because the hair is more coarse. The only thing I really disliked about the product is that it gets flaky as it dries, and it has a bit of a messy application. I used a damp washcloth to wipe the product off, as directed, and it was a little streaky coming off. However, the hair definitely came off with it. I ended up spraying myself off in the shower after fully wiping the product off of my skin to make sure there wasn’t any residue left behind. Let me just tell you how SOFT my skin was after drying off. The aloe and vitamin E do WONDERS for dry skin. My skin felt more moisturized and soft after use than it did before, and that’s saying a lot coming from someone with eczema. I would say overall that 98% of the hair was actually removed, and the 2% left over was in the areas with coarser hair. For the cost of the product, it is absolutely something that I will continue to buy and use. No razor burn, no chemical burn, a literal Brazilian wax in a can. I am happy with the results.

Great Alternative to Nair
Yes it smells like wet dog but the scent isn’t THAT strong. There is a fragranced version of this but I bought the skin moisturizing one with aloe and vitamin E. But honestly, that ingredient makes this product work so...just deal with it. Turn the bathroom fan on for the smell. Definitely follow the directions. It seems like a lot of the poorer reviews didn’t follow directions. Use equal parts water and powder, use cool water to mix with and to rinse with, and leave it on 5-7 minutes. I did this and it worked great! My brother even let me try it out on his arm. For any touch ups I would suggest tweezers or one of those rotating blade shavers like the “Flawless”. Because directions say not to use alcohol based products or shave before or after this product for something like 32 hours. It did take a second round for areas where my hair is thicker. Although doing it a second time right afterwards isn’t recommended. I would say take it off if it burns/hurts. 24 hours later and no rash/redness. I used this because I have a bad reaction to nair and always get chemical burn. Will definitely be buying again.

Buen producto
Va muy bien para afeitarse en seco con afeitadora electrica, aunque creo que no hay gran diferencia con utilizar polvos talco.

Funktioniert super aber stinkt und…
funktioniert einwandfrei, muss es aber weit länger einwirken lassen als auf der verpackung steht. circa 12-15 min.

I use it for removing body hair - It's brilliant
I have sensitive skin and get terrible rashes which last for weeks after any form of hair removal. This product has been a godsend. It goes much further than hair removal creams such as Nair and Veet (which didn't even work for me), and hasn't caused irritation. Seems to work fine absolutely anywhere. My only criticisms are the smell isn't the nicest and it's difficult to mix into paste (tends to float on the water for a long time but just keep mixing and it works eventually) - which are tiny issues and worth it for the low price.

Add water super gradually, mix and apply with a makeup brush and you'll be sweet!
Yet to successfully try it on my face as I'm both more sensitive and more dense there, but used this on my body for 6 minutes approx after mixing as described in headline. It smells a little more than the gold one (which I've been using for 6 months) though as far as I could tell it's no worse than Nair or Veet. On the upside, my skin feels a little less dry afterwards. Definitely still a good idea to apply moisturizer after you get out of the shower. It says not to wash off with soap, but I've done just fine using an organic body wash (Sukin) after rinsing and wiping thoroughly with the cloth.
