Uses & Benefits
Removal of unwanted body hair for people with sensitive skin (commonly legs, arms, underarms, bikini line as per label)
How It Works
Depilatory creams work by breaking the disulfide bonds in keratin (hair protein) using thioglycolate in an alkaline base. This weakens hair at the skin surface so it can be wiped off, leaving skin smoother for a few days.
Directions for Use
For external use only. Do a patch test 24 hours before use. Apply an even layer on clean, dry skin to cover hair; do not rub. Leave for the time mentioned on the pack (typically 3–6 minutes; do not exceed maximum time). Remove with spatula/cloth and rinse thoroughly with water; pat dry. Avoid using on irritated/broken skin and avoid deodorants/perfumed products for 24 hours after use.
Side Effects
Skin irritation, burning or stinging, redness, itching, rash, dryness, allergic reaction, chemical burn (if left on too long)
Warnings & Precautions
Patch test is essential before each use. Do not use on broken, sunburnt, inflamed or recently shaved skin, or on face/scalp/genitals/perianal area unless the specific pack states otherwise. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse immediately with plenty of water if contact occurs. Do not exceed recommended application time; stop use if burning occurs. Keep out of reach of children. If severe irritation, blistering, or swelling occurs, seek medical advice.
