Magic Smooth Razorless Hair-Removing Cream 6oz/170g

I use this for the private area and legs, I wouldn't suggest using it for that area but if you were thinking about it....

So amazon has pressured me for a review, and I'm not one for leaving bad reviews but this is a joke.Followed every step to a T, including shaving my head beforehand as it says to do this if you have much hair left, and left it in for the maximum recommended time, yet it did absolutely nothing. Ended up going back with a razor to finish the job this couldn't even start.I get that you don't want caustic chemicals on your scalp or face, but to the point where it cant even do what its supposed to do? Even if it did work, this ends up being more time and work than shaving normally.Save your money and time, use a razor.

First impressions were a bit disappointing. However, a learning process is needed before judging the product. I shaved off my hair 12 years ago when things started to get a bit thin on top. Having had long hair for many years, I gave up getting the angle of the ponytail to help conceal an increasingly thin pate. I was looking to something that would be alternative to shaving. At present, I have a very unevenly shaped 'horseshoe' area of hair with some very thin hair elsewhere. Unshaven, it does not look good despite the fact that most of it is now grey/white. The product quickly deals with the thin hair on top but the 'horseshoe' area can remain rather stubborn. The way to do this is to give the 'horseshoe' area at least 10 minutes (not 4 minutes as claimed) but clear the stuff off the thin pate sooner.. Result is not bad but I have yet to leave it as long as 4 days as claimed. However, leaving it on longer than stated is your responsibility!Update: Practice does improve the results and it IS possible to get a really smooth clean bald head that looks much better than one shaved with a razor.

Since being introduced to this product, it’s all I use. No bumps and very easy to use.

I find if you leve it on for 8 minutes and then put warm water on your face it dose the job ....but i can get this cream in the shops for half of the price

Brother loves it. works well

I followed all the instructions. And it didn't leave my head bald. Instead it now just has a few blotches of baldness here and there.Also if it supposed to be applied to bald head to work. How is that possible if I cannot shave 36 hours prior?.So either way i see it. Apply to 36 hour hair. Or somehow change the laws of reality and pause growth for 2 days.

The product manufacturers make some pretty outrageous claims about Magic, so let's go through them one by one:1. "Light, Fresh Scent"Easily the biggest wopper of a lie on the bottle! It stinks to high heaven and can only be described as akin to the whiff of burning turds. If that's your bag, go for it. At least it doesn't linger on your skin too long afterwards but it really is unpleasant.2. "Works in 4 Minutes"Not in my experience! Bearing in mind I'm a Norwood 7 on the Male Pattern Baldness Scale and had my hair under 1mm in length when I applied to my scalp, you'd probably expect my head to cleared in the 4 min period. But I had to leave it on for around 7 mins (it says to not exceed 7 mins) for it to clear most areas.3. "Lasts for 4 Days"Another ENORMOUS porky-pie! I shave my head every day out of necessity. I get the infamous horse-shoe shadow as it grows back in, after around 24 hours, which makes the contrast between bald parts and hairy parts too distinct. My biggest hope with Magic was that it would allow me to at least cut this down to every other day. Not a chance! I would have to use this every single day, same as a razor. This does NOT go deeper than a razor.4. "Closer than a razor"Already answered above! A razor blade gives me 24 hours before the shadow grows in. This product is actually WORSE than a razor because it didn't actually eliminate the shadow AT ALL! Yes, it does clear away your surface hair, it does work. But it's much messier, slower and not as effective as a razor, leaving patches all over the place where it didn't work fully. As the instructions say you should leave 24 hours between applications, if it doesn't clear all the hair first time (which it almost certainly won't) then you are screwed and will have to finish the job with a razor anyway!Maybe this will work better on facial hair, I never tried. But if you are looking for a clean cut bald finish, this is not even close to as effective as a razor blade. I don't suffer from razor bumps, so can't comment on that but I won't be buying again as a solution to having to shave every day.
