 It only works for eyebrows. Feb 26, 2007
By wax-girl
I love this product. Having said that, I can't give it five stars, because I don't think they are really tellig the truth about how it works best in the instructions. I heat this wax in a small pan of water on the stove, and use it with small cloth strips. Over-heating or getting water in the wax pot will make it foamy and ruin it. The soothing cream is great. I never use the tweezers or eyebrow stencils. For some weird reason, it only works for eyebrows and hairline. Face, lip and chin areas do not come clean with this wax.

 The BEST for the 'stache Oct 10, 2010
By PghYinzer
"more of myself after winter"
I guess your results with this are going to vary with what kind of hair you are dealing with. Not all facial hair is created equal.
If your problem is chin whiskery type hair - this isn't going to cut it. You would have to let it grow mortifyingly long for this to work. Maybe if you will have no contact with civilization for 3 weeks or so, this would be the way to go... but for that hair, plucking seems best if it's SERIOUSLY just a few, shaving or laser are your best bets if there's more than that.
I was, for reasons I don't understand, blessed with decent eyebrows. No unibrow, no crazy strays. I don't know why, I have crazy hair issues everywhere else (except my arms, which are also weirdly normal). So I have never attempted to do ANYTHING to my eyebrows. Off the cuff the thought of waxing them with this, though, seems messy and bound to go poorly. I don't even want to think about it.
What I use this for is my 'stache. Luckily, blonde, and fine, but it is prone to get weirdly LONG. Since the hairs are so fine, this seems to grab it easily, even when quite short, and then it stays away for months. Of course this is going to depend on how bad of a problem your lady 'stache is. And if it's whiskery type hair, see the chin hair commentary - this probably won't work.
For ME, it's perfect. Sugar type wax strips never seem to work, seems like the hair has to be long for sugar wax, but this grabs it all and grabs it in one pass. It's like the hard waxes shrink around even the tiniest fine hairs and yank 'em out. It takes a little practice to get it just so - spread just right, a tad thicker at the end so easier to grab - but once you do it's easy. And one package lasts for YEARS... I just put the wax back in the pot and use it over and over again. I think I have actually only bought this type of wax 2 times in about 9-10 years. Since the hair is so fine, it doesn't really impact the wax at all. You can just keep re-using it!

Best wax on the market Sep 06, 2010
By Mystic Moonstorm
"mysticmoonstorm"
This is the best wax I have found for removing facial hair (eyebrows, the annoying little chin hairs, etc). While it usually does take a little longer to warm up than the package instructions state, once warm it works wonderfully. An added bonus, it's the only wax I have found that does not make me break out - so for your sensitive skin types, this is the product for you. I won't use anything else.

 Try the waxing strips instead Jun 10, 2006
By Rhimixed
I've used waxing products from this brand a couple times, mostly waxing strips. I heard that actual wax, however, was supposed to work better and keep hair from growing back for a longer period of time. Yeah right. I really can't recommend this stuff at all. I followed the directions very carefully, but wound up with a huge mess. The wax got stuck to my fingertips and wouldn't come off for hours. And might I mention that it didn't work at all? I think the wax took off a grand total of four hairs, if even that. Hardly did a thing. So, yeah, this stuff really isn't worth your money at all. On the other hand, their waxing strips work very nicely.

Worked GREAT! I love this kit!!!! Jul 01, 2011
By M. Fuller
I have used the surgi stickers before on my eyebrows and lip but after trying this product, I won't ever use anything else again. It did take longer to heat the wax compared to what the directions said, but it completely removed the hair on my lip in one try. I also waxed my eyebrows (but did not use the sticker guides in the kit) it worked great and was fun to use. I found it less painful then the sticker kind of wax. I imagine you have to get the hang of how thick to make the wax, or how hard to let it dry before peeling... you want it cool, but not solid. I think those variables are the reasons for the mixed reviews.
