Q: Can I use this for legs,arms,underarms and for the top lip?

Q: How long does it take for the hair to grow back? Any answers would be helpful but I’m looking to use it on my underarms and legs, so if you’ve tried it there, please definitely let me know :)

submitted by Makeupartist123 - 5 years ago

    Would not recommend use on legs. IMO, not easier, faster, or more effective than shaving.

    Now I understand that this is meant for beards, not legs, so I am only writing to warn those who are planning on doing the same. I used it on my legs and followed the directions to a T and it gave me a mild chemical burn. The skin on my thighs is too sensitive for this product and I CERTAINLY cannot imagine using this on more sensitive areas (as others online have suggested...ouch). You that you are not "built different." You MUST do a small test patch AND wait 24 hours (I did a test patch, but didn't wait). On the positive side, I will say that it removed most of the hair on my legs, but it still doesn't give you the closest "shave." It looks relatively clean shaven, but I can still feel stubble, which is not what I wanted. Overall, between mixing it, applying it, and waiting for it to work, I can't see how this is easier, faster, or more effective than shaving. Of course I can't speak to how well it works on your face (as I do not have a beard), but if it irritates the skin on my calves, I would have to imagine it would do the same to my face. TLDR: Use only on your beard. Don't listen to TikTok.

    i really like this!! i feel like i saw super mixed reviews of people loving it or hating and i thought i’d give it a try. it’s smell isn’t THAT bad. like not great but not unbearable, at least to me. also i have extremely sensitive skin, plus eczema so i thought to try this and it honestly works super well! i haven’t showed any signs of irritation so far either. i would really recommend even if you’re on the fence it’s worth a shot

    Purchased the powder and when I used it I followed the instructions to the "letter". After thr application and removal I was impressed, since it was my first time using it. The results said it would last 4 days. Well, NOT TRUE. When I woke up the next day I noticed stubble. I also noticed after the second use (with the 48 hour waiting period) the product DIDN'T work. Then I noticed that I had MORE hair in the areas of use (full chin and lip) that there was MORE hair than before I started. I purchased the creme the other day and applied it to my problem areas. Lets see what these results will be. Otherwise I can see myself spending an astronomical amount of money for laser treatments.

    Excellent product. I’ve used it all of my adult life (father and older brother used it too). Gentle on my skin and the smoothness is there days. The only time I’ve ever any issues is with what seems to be batch consistency. I am no expert, but some cans mix well, others take longer for the water to “take.” They still perform great; just takes a little longer to mix. Tell me, Magic Shave, was there a formula change at one point? Inquiring minds would love to know : )

    A more accurate score would be a 3.6 rather than 4 whole stars. I bought this exact can of shaving powder a couple of weeks ago and while it did its job I do have some complaints. 1.) the powder doesn't mix with water as well as it should 2.) the cream/paste substance that forms once it does eventually mix dries up too easily and 3.) once I cleaned myself off and was satisfied with the hair that came off I experienced a mild burning sensation and the area had turned slightly red. The burning and redness went away soon enough but it was an unpleasant surprise.

    I tried this powder last night on my legs and it works pretty well. My skin is fairly sensitive—even on my legs—so I wanted to try it to avoid razor bumps. I needed to use a lot of the product to cover my legs, the fragrance is strong (not as bad as Nair, but strong), and it took a bit to complete the process. While it didn’t work perfectly, it worked great on my knees and around the ankles. I’ll keep using this product for those smaller areas instead of all over my legs. The price point is great for effective hair removal. I just need to be more careful with my razor on the areas I don’t use the powder.
