Hair removal cream is used to remove unwanted hair from the skin surface without pulling hair out from the root. This method can be practical for people who want simple home hair removal without a razor, wax or epilator.
Within the Hair removal category, depilatory creams are chosen according to the area of use, skin type and sensitivity. It is especially important to follow the application time stated in the instructions, because leaving the cream on the skin for too long may cause irritation, redness or stinging.
Hair removal cream can be suitable for quickly removing hair from the body, but not every cream is intended for every area. Before use, always check whether the product is intended for legs, arms, underarms, bikini area or other body parts.

How to use hair removal cream properly?
Before first use, a tolerance test on a small skin area is recommended. If no unwanted reaction appears within the period stated in the instructions, the product can be used according to the manufacturer’s recommendation.
The cream is applied to clean and dry skin in an even layer, without rubbing in. After the application time stated in the instructions, the cream is removed with a spatula or rinsed off with water, depending on the manufacturer’s recommendation. The maximum recommended time on the skin should not be exceeded.
Hair removal cream and sensitive skin
Hair removal creams work chemically on the skin surface, so with sensitive skin they may cause stinging, redness, itching or irritation. They should not be used on damaged, inflamed, burned, irritated or freshly depilated skin.
After hair removal with cream, gentle skin care is recommended, while fragranced cosmetics, aggressive exfoliation, sun exposure, solarium and swimming pools should be avoided immediately after treatment. The skin should not be rubbed or additionally irritated.
Pharmacist’s advice
Use hair removal cream only on areas for which the product is intended and never exceed the recommended application time. Before first use, perform a tolerance test, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergy tendency. Do not use the cream on wounds, rash, inflammation, moles, burns or skin that is already irritated. If strong itching, stinging, swelling, blisters, rash or redness that does not pass appears, rinse off the product and consult a doctor, dermatologist or pharmacist.
