Veet in shower Hair Removal Cream

So I have waxed all my life and was about to go out when I realised I didn't have time to wax and wasn't interested in shaving (I'm rather blind and alway end up cutting myself!) So I bought this product and was rather excited but sure am I upset that I didn't think to read the reviews of it first. I was in agonising pain burning all over my body. I thought maybe at first it was bad then it would go away BUT NO... it burnt and burnt, I left it on till I couldn't take it anymore and I washed it off. After I had gotten out of my shower I looked down to see my legs were blotchy all over in places and my skin had started to blister behind my knees. I cried so much because my legs looked disgusting. I tried to moisturise but was in to much pain so I just sat in a cool shallow bath for about 2 hours till the pain subdued. And after all this pain my legs were still nice and prickly in places... I wore a long dress to the party.

For such a huge price tag, I was expecting to have a fantastic product which obliterated all hair and didn't irritate my skin. Imagine how I felt when I tried this stuff and it not only did the opposite, but it smelled so bad!

Without trying to sound like I'm bashing the Veet company, this product has way too many cons for such a hefty price. When you put it on, it's fine, but it has this absolutely disgusting smell which I can't stand. Even when you remove the product, you have to drown yourself in perfumes and sprays to get rid of the sulfuric smell.

Secondly, it irritated my skin when it was left on my skin for a few minutes! To me, I've never trusted the 3 minute veet, so I've always left it on for about 5 minutes. Once it hit about four minutes, it started stinging and burning, and the packet explicitly states that it can be left on for up to ten minutes! So obviously I could never use it if I couldn't leave it on to actually get rid of my hairs. And even then, most of the time there would always be a few hairs left behind, which I was shocked and disappointed about.

So, in general, I would just not buy this, because it is way too much for what you're getting, and everything it says it does, it doesn't do at all.

My skin must be extremely sensitive. This stung my legs so bad and it was even worse after I had fully removed the cream. Would not recommend to anyone with highly sensitive skin.

I initially bought this as a lot of razors leave my skin itchy and irritated and I'm not a fan of waxing so I thought this would be a good alternative.

The smell is terrible, the formula burnt my skin (even though it's supposed to be safe for sensitive skin) and the worse thing is that it didn't even work very well. I was left with a lot of hair still on my legs and ended up having to go over it with a razor at the end anyway.

For the price and the amount of time it takes to prepare this on your skin and also how messy it is, I would have expected much better results but was left very disappointed and wont' be purchasing this product again.

I had tried the In-shower cream only to get covered with the stuff and burn my self a few times due to it taking so long to put on, a bit too messy to be practical and even with the floral scent added to it it still smells awful. It says "in shower" on the label but you actually need to put it on before you get in because once your skin is wet that stuff is slipping off pretty easily and if you havent had it on long enough before you get into the shower its not going to work and you've ended up wasting your time. When washing the cream off you need to scrub your skin at the same time to remove the hair so you may as well just shave as it will grow back at the same rate anyway, smell less and not burn your legs.

I have sworn off all hair removal creams after this one. I have never had an irritation like the one I got from this cream. It was awful, my skin wasn't just red but also had what could only be described as burnt patches. I was in misery for days. Never again.

Thought I'd give this a go, since I was getting sick of the long hour spent in the bathroom from shaving. The ads on TV make it out like its an easy, effortless process but goodness me it was anything but. Sounds like, I'm not the only one who had a bad time with this product. On some areas of my leg, it even ripped hair leaving patches and then some parts of my leg would look nicely done but I just waste convinced as it was not consistent all over. Hell no, I aint gonna be buying this product again!! Noo way!

I never ever threw out a product before, I usually try to use up everything, even the "meh" kind of products, but this one landed in the bin the next day after giving it a go. It stinks, applying it is an unpleasant experience, irritates the skin, removes hair in patches and after weeks of using it I still have the ingrown hairs/pimples and I'm going crazy about them, I have never ever had this before, not with waxing or shaving, never! I am utterly disappointed and angry.

It seemed like a perfect alternative to clumsy razor blades, and I thought I would give it a go. When I got home to open this new 'easy to use leaving your skin smooth', I was excited. BUT when I opened it I thought something had died, it stunk out the house, and it just got worse. It burnt my skin, after using it once it began forming rashes that stayed with me after 2 weeks. Not only where there rashes on my legs, but it removed next to no hair what-so-ever. I'd rather accidentally nick myself with a shaving blade then use this product again!

When I heard of this, I was skeptical, because I thought, "won't it just wash off." But I purchased it anyway, thinking that they couldn't just put something like that on the label and have it crash boom bang in real life. So I purchased this, thinking yes, a new way of being even lazier, while I wash myself, the hair from my legs will fall offf! False! So much false hope.

I'll start off with saying that there is a lot of product, for the price. It's also easy to squeeze out and spread on the legs no problem.

The smell is ridiculously bad. I've used plenty of different hair removers, I like to purchase from a different brand every time, and I found that this one by far had the worst smell of all, they didn't even try to hide the smell. It's just very chemically, and extremely toxic smelling. Be careful to not suffocate yourselves ladies.

The time frame suggested is in no way shape or form, enough time. I found that I had to wait double, if not triple the suggested time for at least SOME hairs to come off. And even so, it comes off in patches, looking like a fool having removed some hairs and not others. Ridiculous. I also recommend waiting much longer than recommended before hoping into the shower. Premature showering with this on, just wastes all the product as it gets washed down the drain.

Negative points for bad advertising, and leading me to believe that while I showered the hair would come off, instead of me having to wait an hour before I shower for it to come off.

On top of all the bad points, here is another. The amount of chemicals in this product is incredibly toxic, now it may just be due to the fact that I have sensitive skin, but this burns! It burns like it is deep frying your poor legs.

It left my legs with scars, rashes, as well as itching and burning.

Worst hair removal ever.
