Veet Pure Cold Wax for Legs & Body, Sensitive Skin, 40 Strips + 4 Wipes, Root Hair Removal, 28 Days Smoothness, Hypoallergenic Formula, Packaging May Vary

I use these wax strips on myself and on my daughter. They are extremely easy to apply and to remove. No pain, no mess. Perfect for sensitive skin, it doesn't irritate or hurts my skin. Very good product quality.

Easy use and very effective, no mess

If you're looking to wax your legs and underarm, chances are you'll go with Veet.You get an absolute boat-load of strips if you order these but, to be honest, Veet strips harden and become useless after a while (I think it's about a year or so) and even warming up the wax doesn't make them useable, so unless you're ordering these on a wholesale basis - to use in a spa/salon, or a big girl's night in or for re-selling, etc, it's not really worth getting them in this quantity.At the time of writing, 6 packs of 20 strips cost £33.19, so they average out to roughly £5.50 for a box, which is more expensive than you'll usually find, anyway.You get a couple of post-waxing wipes with each box, too, but not nearly enough. Saying that, Veet are notoriously tight with the balm wipes, for some reason!By way of a quick hint: before you use them, rub the strips between your hand for a minute or so to warm up the wax which helps with the hair removal.So, this review is more complain than compliment which may not be very fair, as the wipes themselves really are marvellous if you prepare them. I just think they're a little too expensive, and unless you're getting them for a specific wholesale reason, getting them in this quantity will mean you inevitably have to throw some away, meaning the cost per strip will have gone up exponentially.TL;DR: the strips themselves are good, but this isn't the best way to buy them.

Excellent product. I've been using this brand for years with no issues.. I simply warm up the sheets in my hands or pop in my bra for 5 minutes and use. Simple and effective.

Nice but not suitable for hair on balls, almost lost oneBut hair removes wonderfully

I brought these after being sick of having to shave my legs every few days, unfortunately even after following all the directions on the box and it failed to pick up any hair at all and only ripping my skin off. After doing some research some places said to grow the hair out til it’s fairly long so I waited and attempted again only for it to do the same thing. I have tried using the cream as well also to no avail and just leaving my legs feel very sore and irritated

Nowhere near as sticky, would not buy again

I've been using Veet wax strips for years, and they never disappoint - you just need to know how to use them properly.I generally prefer cold wax strips over hot wax because of how convenient they are, but if you have the time and materials, hot wax would be a much more precise and flexible method of removing hair. For those like me who prefer an easier and quicker way, these strips are an excellent choice.They're mess-free and super easy to use. Exfoliate the area first, which removes any dead skin that might be causing ingrown hairs. The skin needs to be completely dry (but not cracked dry otherwise the strips will leave them quite irritated and red).Then heat the strips - very important! The usual 20 seconds is not always long enough. Heat them up until the wax feels flexible and warm. I often have to use a hair dryer to do this in the winter because the wax would dry up really easily.To apply the strip to the skin, I found that it's much more effective and less painful to hold the skin taut with one hand while waxing with the other. It makes it easier for the hairs to come out.Any leftover hairs can either be waxed with a section of the used strip, or plucked out later. Be careful not to wax over the same place more than 2-3 times, especially if you have sensitive skin - it will lead to some major scarring!I remove any wax residue with baby oil, and then cover my skin with a cooling moisturiser or serum. The redness would be completely gone by the next two days.This is a great bulk buy. The strips last long (just don't keep them out in a very cold or dry place otherwise they'll dry up) and are really effective. My skin is always hair-free and sooo smooth for a good three weeks. With regular waxing, the rate of hair growth and density reduced significantly.If this review helped, please click on the ‘helpful’ button to let others know! Thanks ツ
