Hi guys,

I'm sure all of you have seen the ads: a liquid is sprayed and the hair wiped away! Does anyone have any experience with this?

It seems too good to be true. What the heck can possibly be in there to make hair come off so easily? Is it safe for all external use?

P.S. I'm a guy and want to try it as an alternative to shaving.

Cheers,

T.I.A.

Hi, yes, I do. It does not smell as bad as most. It works very well for less coarse hair(typical)--for coarse hair you need to do some rubbing and leave it on rather longer than recommended. You don't mention whether you have sensitive skin or not...or how often you would be looking to use it, because I believe the box even says not to use it two days in a row. I'm not a chemist but they must be pretty serious chemicals! In balance, I will say that I like it better than any other products of the type that I've used. I do not know whether the spray which is supposed to keep hair from growing back longer really works or not. I have not used it anywhere sensitive --I prefer to shave such places.
Good luck

Howdy,

Thanks for the response! My skin is somewhat-sensitive. Do you think there will be side-effects, like rash, etc.? It might be worth a try, I suppose, if even on a small patch.

Cheers!

RE: rash, they always tell you to do a patch test and wait 24 hours, just like hair coloring, because you could have a negative reaction. I have really sensitive skin, I can't wax because the redness and puffiness seems to never go away, but I have not had a problem with the Igia system. If you have sensitive skin, I would definitely recommend doing that patch test!
