I bought this product at a CVS and have been using it for a little over 2 months and it is great! I figured it was worth a try. What would I lose? Six dollars? I was and am very pleased! When the hair grows back, it's not very noticable but I recommend you use it weekly to keep it that way. I use it only once a week and leave it on for 7-8 minutes to make sure it works. It leaves my skin smooth and soft and, amazingly, clean. I don't know if it's the chemicals but it actually removes dirt along with the hair.Be sure to test it on your arm before to see how your skin will react! It can leave irritation if you scratch the area you used the product on and the brush IS stiff, but it makes up for these two cons in the end.Great product for a great price! Highly recommend it!
