Manicare Crystal Hair Remover

Its very cute to look at, and really easy to hold. I used it on dry skin in circular motions. I do feel like it removed most of my hairs and left my hair feeling very smooth as it acted like an exfoliation aswell. It is easy to use and it doesn't really take that long either. I would say it is waaaay better than waxing, (although it doesn't last as long) and not as messy as shaving. I do think the hairs have grown back finer but that may be wishful thinking. I haven't noticed any ingrown hairs but i don't get many on your legs anyway. It's a little tricky around the ankles and knees.

I was excited to trial this as it seems like a more convenient, clean and pain free way of removing hair than other methods. Unfortunately it dod not work for me.

The product looks nice, it's stylish and well presented and easy to hold in your hand. I only used this on my legs as it seems too rough for other areas. My hair is quite thick as it's winter and i haven't been shaving as much. I followed all the instructions but it was just no good at removing hair. I think it did exfoliate my skin and left it quite smooth though.

Definitely wouldn't bother purchasing, I'll be sticking to shaving.

I was very excited to trial this product, I had seen in advertised online for ages and had been very tempted. However, I thought there is no way that works. I can say for an absolute fact it works, and works well.

The first time I used it I was so excited. I used it on dry skin. Results were very smooth! Definitely exfoliates too. You can see the dry skin on your legs, kinda gross but satisfying.

Few things I found. . .It didn't work for me if my skin was wet. I did get a little itchy 2 days after using. I found using moisturizer straight after rinsing worked better. But haven't had it for long enough to say it doesn't itch at all. I'll keep trialing. I did find it to be a lot of rubbing to get it perfect and not miss spots. I wish part of it had a curve as it is hard to do front of shins as it's very flat and hard. I liked the shape, made it easy to grip and hold when using.

Over all very impressed and I would use and purchase again!

Thanks to BR for this awesome product and opportunity to review it

I have tried a number of hair removal option — shaving, waxing, cream, epilator, IPL — and not erasing! I have been wanting to try it for a number of months, but was quite sceptical.

When I pulled the crystal out of the box, I was very surprised to see a rather large nail file claiming to remove my leg hairs!! So I quickly read how to use it, and did a couple of rounds on my leg. And as my son says “oh my GOOOOOODNESS”. I am converted.

I would usually epilate my legs, which is slightly painful, and leaves me all blotchy where the hair follicle was before getting plucked out. It is also usually night time when I remember to epilate my legs, so that’s not very good when you have just put the Toddler to bed.

But this hand held piece of magic doesn’t give me any reactions, pain, or noise. It give you smooth, “exfoliated”, hair-free skin. I even did a few sneaky rounds on my husbands hairy hand…hair eradicated.

A week later, I have 1-2mm regrown. Quickly tested the Crystal in this little guys…GONE.

total winner from me!

This is an interesting concept and one which I was intrigued by when I first heard about it. I often have dry legs with the odd inflamed follicle after shaving my legs so the exfoliating nature of this hair remover was really good. The object itself fits nice into your hand although after awhile I did have a bit of a cramp. The crystal pad tends me of a crystal nail file and as you rub it on your legs in the circular motion described it is clearly sloughing off any dead skin. My legs felt so smooth! I found it quite tricky to remove all the hair especially in areas like behind the knees and around the ankles. After using you are left with a white dust (skin I guess) all over and the box says to rinse legs after use. I couldn't be bothered with that but gave them a rub down with my towel. My legs felt beautifully smooth but this would be no good in the summer after tanning as it would remove the layer of tan. The next day I could feel some hair again so it's definitely something you would need to use really regularly. I think using this the night of a tan would be ideal as you'd get a smooth surface without the open pores of shaving.

I am currently in the process of doing laser and even though I don't have too much hair it's fine and it still needs to be removed and the area needs to be exfoliated before sessions and I find this tool is the perfect thing to do both. I think even post laser hairs will not be entirely gone but this will be perfect for maintenance instead of shaving. My legs have never been as soft as they were post using this, my man was very pleased. I absolutely love it and have been raving about it to everyone I know.

The manicare crystal hair remover feels like one of those glass nail files. It’s easy to hold in either hand and the grip side has a matte finish so it doesn’t slip.

You use it in circular motions to effectively buff off the hair. It’s challenging to get into crevices, like the dents at your elbow. You do get the smell of burning hair (like with the cream chemical removers) but overall it definitely functions. It removed most of the hair from my arms (I have very hairy arms) though it was a little patchy and stung a little, I think I overdid it a fraction. You have to be a bit careful not to over exfoliate.

I used it on my leg - one leg dry-shave and the other crystal removal. The time was similar though I am faster at shaving. The results felt the same and after a couple of days they still feel the same. But it was my shaved leg that had bit more of a sting this time for a bit after (that is normal for me and I have heard it happens if you do that use fresh blades).

Overall, it’s a novel idea. I wouldn’t use it for my regular hair removal product but it would be great of you’re going away camping with less access to water and not have to worry about the blades dulling or rusting. So the crystal remover has it’s place for sure.

Before using this I was unsure if it would actually work as I had tried things similar and much to my surprise it did and done a very good job. It was easy to use and easy to clean afterwards , exfoliates very well and does remove that hair. I would definitely buy another one of these as a back up , so handy and easy to store away due to size. I’ve been using this every morning / second morning and my legs are soo smooth and not dry. I think the price of these is great compared to the price of hair removal creams and razors and you can bring this anywhere

I was really excited to see this be an item to try as a trial member however, I was a bit disappointed in how it performed.

I found it didn't really do as it said by removing hair but it did exfoliate! I used small circular motions and applied just enough pressure so that it sits on the skin. I learnt the hard way the first time I used it to not push down too hard otherwise it leaves the skin with a very "cool" feeling and later red bumps appear. It was slightly painful a few days later as well.

I used it on my legs and my arms. I will say it takes a long long time to use and hair is not removed every time, you need to go over areas and if you go over areas too much it starts getting a bit sore. I found that along the shin bone of the leg, it was really difficult to use as the remover doesn't sit flush with the bone and so I wasn't able to use it there. It would be nice if it was curved or something rather than flat so I was able to get the shin bone.

Overall, my good ol' shaver wins this time as this took way longer and results are not guaranteed! Plus I was left a bit red and sore.

This is a great product if your wanting to remove fine hairs and have smooth and shiny skin afterwards without barely any work. It is so easy to use and does get into hard to get areas. I love the design of it and it really does work. My skin has honestly never been smoother I highly recommend
