Best Selling Hair Removal Products

With so many hair removal products available in the market today, buffing away unwanted hair should be relatively easy. Unfortunately, not all products – even the most expensive ones – deliver promised results. If you’re still looking for something that really works, I gathered here just some of the top hair removal products out there with their upsides and downsides based on reviews and real user experiences.





Silk'n SensEpil
Silk’n SensEpil is a laser hand-held applicator designed to fit the user's hand so you can apply at any part of your skin without difficulty. The product is clinically proven and uses Home Pulsed Light (HPL) technology - a supposedly safe and effective way of destroying unwanted hair in the treated area.

• Easy to use because of its user friendly design
  
• Provides additional skin-sensor to ensure protection and comfort
  
• Applicable for facial hair below the cheekbone and most parts of the body
  

Cons

• Not suitable for darker skins due to excessive melanin, works much better on lighter skin
  
• You need to take extra precaution when using it on the face because it emits brighter light
  
• One cartridge is only good for a single treatment, you will need to buy more cartridges
  
• Result is not instant. Multiple treatments are required but the process apparently achieves desired long-term results.
  

NONO Hair

Braun Silk-epil
Braun has a range of epilators to choose from depending on individual needs and beauty routine. The Silk-epil epilators supposedly remove even the shortest unwanted hair and give you silky smooth skin up to four weeks. The products are cordless, allowing you to apply it dry or in the bath or shower.

Nair has a wide range of hair removal products but this depilatory cream is especially created for sensitive skin. Nair supposedly helps moisturize and exfoliate your skin.
