What’s In the Box?

When you purchase the product, it comes in a box containing:

Sally Hansen Hair Remover Creme
This is the facial hair removal cream and comes in a 2.oz squeezable easy to use plastic bottle. The fact that you will only need to apply a tiny bit of the cream at any point in time (as its only for the area being treated on the face) means that a tube of this size will last you for several applications.

One of the other benefits of having the hair removal cream come in a handy squeezable tube is that it is small enough to have in your handbag for use even when you are away from home.

The squeezable plastic container that the product comes in will also ensure that you don’t have any waste at the end of the product as you are able to squeeze every last part of the cream out of the tube thus saving you money in the end.

Sally Hansen Extra Smooth After Care Lotion
Also contained within the kit is an “after-care lotion” which is a soothing and moisturizing lotion that you apply to the skin after you have removed the hair on your face with the hair removal cream.

The lotion comes in a 0.5fl.oz (14.7ml) tube which is also enough to last you several applications without having to purchase a separate moisturizing cream. The tuibe is also small enough to fit into a handbag.

The casing of the lotion is also advantageous because it is not a spout thus preventing caking of the lotion around the cap.

The after care lotion serves to replace the moisture in the face that is lost in the process of facial hair removal and to smooth out the skin.

One very good thing to note about this product is that you do not need to buy a separate moisturizing cream to replenish the skin or moisurize it, since the Sally Hansen Creme Hair Remover Duo Kit comes with the after-care soothing lotion. You have all you need to remove your facial hair in the privacy of your own home.

Product Overview

The Sally Hansen Hair Remover comes already prepared and ready to use in a 2.0oz (56.7g) plastic white squeezable tube. Unlike some other depilatory products that come in the form of lotions or powder form (e.g Magic Shaving Powder), this hair Removal product comes in the form of a “ready to use” white cream.

The benefits that come with using a depilatory cream as opposed to other forms of hair removal is that the cream is able to penetrate and go beneath the skin when applied to the skin.

The cream works by dissolving the hairs just below the surface of the skin which ensures the absence of hair from your face from anything from 2 days to 2 weeks depending on your personal hair growth rate. The product also has some hair growth inhibitor ingredients to help reduce the regrowth of hair over time.

Another big advantage is that depilatory creams like the Sally Hansen’s hair removal cream, is also painless which is a big plus.

Apart from this particular duo hair removal kit, the manufacturer also produces a Brush-on Hair Remover version as an alternative facial hair removal depilatory cream which is slightly more expensive and does not contain a separate moisturizing cream (see Sally Hansen Brush on facial hair removal cream).

What Is It Made Of?

Sally Hansen Creme hair Remover Ingredients
Below is a list of the ingredients used in the manufacture of the Sally Hansen Creme.

 
Like most hair removal products, the manufacturer does not list the quantity of any of the ingredients contained within the product so at first glance it is difficult to know the strength of the product, however this particular hair removal cream does contain some powerful ingredients similar to those found in the most powerful hair removal creams.

The main ingredients responsible for dissolving the hair in this product are the Calcium Thioglycolate Hydroxide, Calcium Hydroxide and Potassium Hydroxide.

• Calcium Thioglycolate – This is one of the most effective and powerful chemical agent that attacks the hair follicle and also found in most powerful hair removal creams used to treat sensitive skin. Although powerful, hair removal products containing Calcium Thioglycolate tend to be less likely to burn or irritate skin compared to those containing Sulphides.

 

• Calcium Hydroxide and Potassium Hydroxide – These are alkali used to adjust the ph levels of the main ingredient of the Cream and are regarded as very critical to how well a hair removal cream performs. Both Calcium Hydroxide and Potassium Hydroxide are now a popular choice among manufactures as they are regarded as more gentler to the skin and less likely to irritate the skin.
   

  The hair removal cream is also infused with pumpkin-seed extracts and willow herb which are powerful ingredients to help prevent the regrowth of hair for longer periods of time.

Extra Smooth After Care Lotion Ingredients
Below is a list of the ingredients used in the manufacture of the Sally Hansen After care Lotion.

The extra smooth conditioning lotion also contains rich powerful ingredients to help soften and smooth out the skin once the hair is removed.

Apart from being rich in mineral oil, propylene glycol and palmitic acid among others, the conditioning lotion also includes Vitamin E lotion and collagen.

• Vitamin E – has anti-oxidant properties, which acts as a cleansing agent for the skin and helps moisturizes the skin.
• Collagen – Its main purpose is to help maintain the skin elasticity.

How The Product Works

The Sally Hansen Hair Remover cream is a depilatory and like all depilatories, works by dissolving the hair just below the surface of the skin.

Hair removal creams work by using an active chemical ingredient to break down an essential component of the hair’s structure called Keratin.

Keratin is an essential protein which makes up 65% – 95% of the hair’s total fiber by weight and it is this that forms the strength of your hair.

Performance

This Sally Hansen Creme hair removal cream duo kit is quite popular and one of the best selling facial hair removal creams for women on Amazon. (see user comments here)

The sensitive nature of the skin surrounding the face makes it particularly difficult to find a hair removal cream that can work well on the face and body. The fact that the Sally Hansen hair removal cream kit is specifically created for use on female facial hair is a big bonus.

The product is reported to work very well for the removal of facial hair above the lip and chin stubble and also around the jaw. It also works very well for people with fine, normal and coarse hair.

It is also fast working and works within a time frame of between 3 and 8 minutes therefore it can be easily slipped in to your schedule. The kit is specifically made for hair removal on the face. It is therefore advised to use it only on the face.

Changes the company could have made include increasing the lotion amount or providing an alternative means of purchasing the lotion on its own.

Ease Of Use:

The Sally Hansen hair removal cream comes in a white cosmetic tube which is very advantageous for the user because there is reduced wastage and the after-care lotion comes in a lotion tube which is also ideal for the lotion because it reduces caking around the cap.

The design of the hair removal lotion bottle makes it easy to use the product without spill or excessive release of the creams, it ensures you are in complete control of the amounts you use.

The benefits include that it gets rid of hair very fast and does not lead to inflammation at all. This saves you time and you can carry on with your day without a hitch.

The odor normally associated with hair removal creams is still there however it is slightly camouflaged with some fresh vanilla scent which makes it quite tolerable to use.

Using The Sally Hansen Hair removal Cream Is Easy…

The company gives very clear and concise instructions on how to use the product. If these instructions are followed to the letter the hair removal process should go on without a hitch.

The instructions for use are as follows:

1 Using your fingertips, gently apply the removal cream over the area where you want the hair removed. Do not make it thick and ensure that you don’t rub the product in.
 
 
2 Wash the cream off your hands immediately.
 
 
 
3 Wait 3 minutes before testing a small region to see if hair has come off. For thicker hair it is advised to stay on for 2 minutes longer. The maximum time that the cream should stay on your face is 8 minutes.
 
 
4 Remove the cream off the face with a moist towel or cotton ball
 
 
 
5 Use warm water to rinse your face.
 
 
 
6 Apply the Extra Smooth lotion to the regions of the face where the hair was removed and leave it to dry on the skin.
