Advantages: eye catching tin

Disadvantages: does not smell nice, does not remove all hair, expensive

I usually shave my legs, but decided too use Immac hair removal mousse for a change.

It comes in a 200ml, white and orange tin, and the orange part of the tin is bright and catch's your eye. The mousse is white in colour and quite thick.

To use Immac hair removal mousse:-
* Use in the bath or shower
* Shake can before use
* Cover the hair evenly by spraying where you want it.
* Leave on for 8 minutes
* Rinse off using sponge provided.

I used it in the shower, and after 8 minutes I took it off, and noticed there was still some hairs there. I thought what a waste of money, and got my razor and used that instead.

They put a sponge in the lid, for removing the cream, which is a good idea. Of course when I first picked it up, I could not find the sponge for at least 5 minutes.

It is very easy to use but does not remove all unwanted hair. I think the normal Immac works better than the spray. I think I will stick to my razor in future though.

You can use Immac removal mousse for your underarms and legs. You should not use it on broken skin. I used it only on my legs.

Immac is supposed to leave you hair free and feeling smooth, but it definitely did not leave me hair free.

This Immac is supposed to smell of citrus, but I do not think it did. All I could smell was the normal smell of Immac, which is not nice at all. You do get used to it after a while though.

When spraying the mouuse on my legs, it was quite cold, but after a while you get used to it.

If you toch the mouuse once it is on your legs, you end up with no mousse there and you then have to respray it again. My own fault though, as I should not have been touching it until it was ready to come off.

The ingredients of this Immac are Aqua, Urea, Butane, Potassium, Thioglycolate, Sodium Hydroxide, Propane, Isobutane, cetearyl Alcohol, Sodium Silicate, Petrolatum, Carbomel, Butyrospermum Parkil Butt
er, Parfum, Hexamethyldisiloxane, paraffin, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Sodium Gluconate, Ceteareth-20, Butylene Glycol, Ascorbyl Glucoseamine, Citrus Medica Limonum (lemon) Fruit Water.

You should do a test if you are using Immac for the first time. Try it on a small area first to make sure you do not have a reaction to Immac.

I felt tingling on my legs, which means I am sensitive to it, but I can use normal Immac with no problems.

You should not use this mousse on the following areas:-
Spotty/broken/iratated/sunburnt skin
Face
Breasts
Genital Area
Eye Brows

Do not use near direct sunlight or near open flames either, as the can is highly flammable.

You will probably use this Immac 2 or 3 times on your legs before it runs out, which is not that many times at all.

I bought this from Boots and it cost me £4.99, which is expensive and definitely not worth the money. You can also buy it from Superdrugs too.
