Advantages: None.

Disadvantages: Painful reaction, which could've caused serious harm.

It was a friday afternoon, I had popped out quickly on my break from working realising I had no razor blades left and definately needed to defuzz the ol' pins before a night out on the town. I popped into a Superdrug and in a panic thought hey, I'll save some money and buy this product instead, oh how I regretted it!

So before I delight you with my tales of woe heres the low down... it costs around £5 from most good chemists and has really nice graphics that convince you it is safe and easy to use. At the bottom of the bottle on the front there is a bold band telling you it is dermatalogically tested and also a bubble assuring you your legs will be "soft for twice as long as shaving" , brilliant, I thought. In comparison to buying fancy shave gel and razor blades this seemed like a mega bargain.

A good point I should make about this product and probably something they need to change is the instructions printed on the FRONT of the bottle along with the logo and outlandish claims about how great the product is. I was obviously seduced and having used many different creams and lotions and potions before had no reason to think this one would be any different so I didn't think twice.

As i rushed in from work and tried to get myself ready I ran into the bathroom and sprayed it all over my legs....

JESUS H CHRIST...I have never in my life felt pain like it. I am a heavily tattooed person and the pain was so much worse than the most teeth gritting tattoos I have ever endured. It was absolutley burning my legs to the point of which I couldn't help but moan out loud "OWWWWWW" I washed it straight off within a minute. It was only then I looked at the back of the bottle to see that over half of it was covered in paragraph upon paragraph of warnings, so many warnings in fact that they had to put them in super small print.

I couldn't believe it, i am left thinking there are some ingredients in this product that some people can be highly allergic to. My legs were left red raw, itchy and painful to the touch. I never experience reactions to any beauty product and boy do I use a lot of them. I simply just wouldn't reccomend this product at all, it's not worth the risk and it's not worth a fiver of your hard earned cash.

Needless to say I wore tights that evening.

Summary: I've got no idea why this is on the market with THAT many warnings on the bottle.
