Veet Spray On Cream Review

Like most women, I don't love shaving my legs. I find it annoying and I hate the stubble you get when the hair grows back. So when I first laid eyes on this I was super excited to give it a go.

Firstly the scent didn't do a lot for me. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. However, I figured that it didn't really matter what it smelled like as long as it worked.

After reading the instructions, I applied this and left it on for 5 mins. I was hesitant to leave it longer as I didn't want to get burned.

Unfortunately this didn't perform for me. It took away some of the hair but it left my legs patchy and I had to shave them after using this to get a super smooth leg. I assumed that maybe I did it wrong and tried it twice more, leaving it on for ten mins.

This didn't really seem to make much of a difference - my legs were still patchy in places and I had to shave them where this hadn't worked.

Thus I stopped using it as it took longer than shaving my legs, gave this to my sister and asked how it worked for her. She had the same outcome - she had to shave her legs after using it as well.

I won't be buying this again. However, I feel like I didn't waste my money purchasing it as I would have always wondered if it worked - so I am glad I tried it, however I wouldn't recommend it.

I bought this on sale because I thought a spray-on hair removal cream might be easier to use than a hair removal cream from a tube. This review is for the “Sensitive skin” edition.

The Veet spray on hair removal cream comes in a 150ml can, with a curved, clear plastic scraper attached. The foam itself is white. The instructions say to spray onto the legs from 5cm away, and to leave on for 5 minutes (no more than 10 for stubborn hair). If the hair comes away easily with the scraper after 5 minutes, then you can rinse it all off in the shower using the scraper to remove the rest of the hair.

There are strong positives and negatives to this product. The positives are that I found it to be very effective for removing my hair. My leg hair is mostly medium brown, and reasonably fine. The hair came away easily after 5 minutes, and the scraper is a handy tool for scraping off the hair. Afterwards my legs felt smooth, and the regrowth is much less stubbly because it has not been cut such as when I use a razor.

The negatives are that this has a terrible chemical smell. It really stinks. It also creates a terrible mess. I can see why they suggest standing in your bathtub or shower to apply this because the white foam gets everywhere! It is also very slippery if you get it on the floor, so be careful. Also, it is hard to control the pressure on the nozzle. Sometimes the cream would come out very thickly, and other times it was sparser. I have quite short legs, but I still had to use quite a lot of foam to cover them properly. The second time I went to use this, I only got one leg covered before the foam ran out! This seems quite expensive for a hair removal product to only get 1 ½ uses out of it.

Altogether, I think this is a good idea for a product, but it is very messy and smelly. I will stick to using a hair removal cream for now.

After using this in the shower not so long ago I was surprised with the effectiveness of it, I have tried the cream before but found that it burned and after use itched, but the hubby uses veet for his personal hygiene and after he picked this up on promotion thought I'd give it ago. It was better to use as it didn't end up all over the place and stick to my hands, the fragrance was pleasant too. After 5 mins (I was being cautious) I used the scraper and took off the hair with ease, without burn and after rinsing and drying, no itchy occurred. Doesn't beat shaving for closeness but does second best

This was much easier to use than other Veet products I've tried. The spray on can means much less time for application and much less mess to deal with than the in shower cream, a much better option in you are a Veet cream fan. However the downfall for this one is that there's not a lot of it in the can itself and you will run out of it very quickly which combined with the spray on technique needing practice means you may end up wasting a fair amount of it before you end up getting the most out of the product. For a Veet product I think this one is the easiest to apply (with a bit of aiming practice) because the mess factor is drastically reduced while getting a similar result. Theres still the odd chemical floral smell to contend with but I noticed was not as strong a scent with this one which made it much more tolerable than other Veet products, but still requires the window wide open for health reasons.

I've been using this for two months now and it is just too easy! Smear it on, wait a few minutes and scrape it off... yup, super easy! The most difficult part, waiting the recommended time, I am way too impatient for my smooth legs (it could also be because I always end up using this right before I actually have to be somewhere, so bad time management on my part). I would suggest waiting a little bit longer than the recommended time (only a few minutes) if your hair is quite thick. Mine is thicker in some places, so I know where I can scrape first and which hairy bits to leave for last to give the cream time to destroy the icky hairs.

I am also not the neatest person when I use this product, so I tend to have an old towel under me and a clear path to the bathroom. The one time I bumped into the couch, knocked over a pile of pillows and got cream on the carpet, it kinda of bleached where it touched. Tie die couch anyone!

Having used veet cream years ago, I was interested to see how this spray on version worked. As opposed to the cream version, spray on means you need to aim carefully where you want the product. I ended up spraying into my palm and quickly apllying where I wanted. I leave it on for 5 minutes. I find this time is good for washing my face otherwise I am too impatient! The scraper tool is really good and easily removes the product along with your hair yay! The only thing that would improve this product would be to make it smell better. But I guess we don't buy it for a fragrance. My hair, in my opinion does grow back softer than with shaving.

I hate shaving my legs, I know its gross but it seems to take up so much time.

This really works for me, it can be a little patch if you don't leave it on long enough. However if you time it right it works perfectly.

I don't think the smell is as nice as they say it is, but it's not completely gross. Still not the best smell in the world.

i hate this product! it smells so yuck and the smell lingers on skin and in the bathroom! its not easy to use and it flt so gross on my legs!! I had a bad experience the first time but got it a second time in hope, only to be disappointed! doesnt remove hair at all really wouldnt recomend!

This product burned my legs and I didn't even leave it on the full amount of time. When I washed it off the hair was gone in patches but wasn't very even. This product also has a very strong chemical smell. Will not be using this product again.
