Remington Smooth & Silky Facial Hair Removal Epilator, Pink

Kevin K. Hill: This product works great and does its job just need to go over The area a couple of times

Cat Paws: The main reason I'm only giving three stars is because there's a bit of a learning curve with this device-- at least there was for me. As background, I've had dark, prominent upper lip hair for most of my life, presumably having to do with my Mexican heritage. I'm in my mid-30s but have always just trimmed the hair rather than shaving or epilating, because I didn't want ingrown hairs on my upper lip. However, a few months ago I started using a more heavy-duty epilator on my leg hair, which made me think I should try this product for my face. I've used it for a few weeks now and can confirm that it does remove some of the hair. The instructions say to lightly guide the epilator upwards, against the grain of the hair, but I found personally I need to use a more erratic motion to actually remove hair. Definitely a very light touch is needed for the tweezers to grab the hairs. It's tricky along the curve of the lip. Also, no matter how patiently I maneuver the device, it will never remove all of the hair. That's fine I guess, because even removing some of it makes the whole appearance of the hair less visible, but it's not a complete solution. It's still better than individually...

Romi: Just my honest, detailed review.

I bought this epilator to replace facial waxing - I find waxing to be such a chore and thought this would be a quick and easy alternative. All over this is really nice. It does the good job pulling the hair out from its roots. Works best on short hair. Worked great on thick and fine hair. I saw hair growth after 1.5 weeks. My skin got a little red but that’s normal and to be expected since it pulls the hair from the root.

For those saying it doesnt work: make sure you are holding the epilator in the opposite direction of your hair growth, just like you would when waxing. Also, make sure you are holding you skin taut - just like you would when waxing or threading. Maybe practice on your hand and then try it on the face.

As for cleaning it, I just use soap and water and that seems to work just fine.

It doesnt hurt too much - it felt like a pinch to me. Ofcourse, that may depend on how your pain tolerance. I would say the pain was perhaps a bit less than waxing.

HOWEVER - you may have to go over the same area over and over again to get completely hairless skin. Additionally, with this particular epilator, you have...

Sarah B: This works. The question everyone wants to know, I’m guessing, is does it hurt? The answer is yes, it hurts, especially if you’re using it on an area that you’ve never waxed or plucked before. However, it hurts significantly less than waxing. I’ve been waxing my upper lip for years, and it hurts every time. With this little miracle, though, it was nothing more than a minor irritant. I used it on the side of my face, and that hurt a bit more, since I’ve never removed hair there, but nothing severe. I even used between my eyebrows, and it worked, too(I wouldn’t use it under my brows, though. There’s not enough control to get a good line). I conjured up my courage and attempted my underarms, and here is where I took off a star. It was not effective at all—I think it doesn’t have enough tweeze-wheel-things and not enough power to do the hair there. I think, if I want to do my underarms, I would need a more powerful epilator. Overall, this is a handy little guy works well on the face, is less painful than waxing, and well worth the money.

Leannej: Any bad reviews this has gotten has to be because the person didn't use it properly...
This thing is AMAZING I have a lot of peach fuzz, and chin hairs that seem to be getting darker with age, I've had to sit for half-hour + plucking daily. This thing it took me 5 min and my skin is so nice and smooth and hair free! I was always so insecure about facial hair and this had given me some confidence back, I wish i bought this soon!

Heather L.: I can't believe this $12 contraption changed my life. I had never heard of these things. I was literally spending hours per day tweezing hairs out of my face. I read about these gizmos and found this one for $12 and figured why not try it. I am so impressed by it that I ended up buying all of the high rated battery power ones. This one is great to just try it and see if you like these gizmos. The drawback is bc its battery powered it is not as strong as the electric ones. The battery dies fast if you need to use it multiple times per day, like me. However, it is great on a brand new set of batteries and it will probably become my on the go one that I carry in my purse.

Shawney McLean: It took me a couple tries to figure out the angle to hold it to get it to work good but now that I have figured that out it works great

Tori: This little epilator has many great qualities! I have a slightly larger plug in epilator by Phillips, but I wanted to get one that was a bit smaller for small areas on my face. I only gave 4 stars because there are a few things that could be improved. But the positives outweigh the negatives for sure. First, I will tell you the positives:

Pros:
Great for small areas like chin and upper lip.
Small and battery powered, so easy to travel with.
Easy to use, lightweight
Does what it's made for!
Great for women who struggle with facial hair (like me), especially for PCOS/hormonal issues that cause excess hair growth. I don't have those, I'm just hairy!
Works much better than a razor -- Razors always leave coarse hair under the skin that is noticeable. I also got to a point where I kept getting ingrown hairs from shaving. I highly recommend this if you have that problem. It leaves your skin feeling smooth. That's important!

Cons:
(obviously) It hurts a little on sensitive parts. This is expected, I just want to be thorough.
I had to take the part that covers the sides off because it wasn't effectively reaching the areas I needed it to.
It only...

A. Chauhan: Pinches a little on the first use, then the skin gets used to it. Using for a while, happy with the performance.
