Advantages: Cheap

Disadvantages: Hard to apply, ineffective in places, bad smell

I've used other hair removal products before and in particular I've used creams before and I've always found it to be the case that they have some effect but shaving is easier and more efficient. However, shaving for me is an inconvenience. It takes too long, results in cuts and leaves my skin feeling dry. So when I saw that this cream only took through minutes and considered how reasonably priced it was I thought I'd give it a try.
I have quite fine hair in general and don't find it hard to find products that do a reasonable job in removing it but this was quite disappointing. It advertises that all you need is warm water and the easy squeeze tube and this is true but using the tube is a mess! It's hard to get a grip onto the plastic tube when your hands are wet i.e. when you're using warm water as required. And if you need want to use both of your hands to make sure you apply it as evenly as it requires then the tube becomes messy and I dropped it more than a few times.
When you do apply it you have to do it so evenly and so thickly that half of the tube is gone on two legs and I'm a short, slim woman! As much as it doesn't cost much in the first place, you'd need to replace it far too often for it to be real value for money. As for the even spread of the cream this is essential. In the warm water part of the cream was washed off part of my leg (though there was a reasonable amount left on) but without a good centimetre or two thick layer it does very little, even after leaving it for five minutes or so.
The result for me was that it didn't take three minutes but much longer, I ended up having to shave parts of my legs anyway because the result was patchy and adding to that, it leaves a nasty smell when you wash it off.

Summary: Doubt I'd recommend it
