Hair Removal Creams

Hair removal creams, also known as depilatories, work to rid you of unwanted hair by disintegrating hair above the surface of the skin. Hair removal creams are available both over-the-counter and by prescription from a medical doctor. As a rule, these products are only short-term solutions, though. Results will typically last from one to five days.

The cost and ease of use of hair removal creams can be attractive factors for many consumers. These products typically cost less than $10 a bottle and can be used for several months, depending on the frequency of application. They simply spread on the desired area and wipe off in a few minutes' time to remove hair. The result is smooth skin that will last slightly longer than shaving, but much shorter than waxing or plucking. Hair removal creams also prevent irritation associated with shaving, such as razor bumps and cuts.

The Disadvantages of Hair Removal Creams

Hair removal creams have certain dangers associated with their use. The acerbic chemicals used in these creams can cause irritation and burns to the skin when left on for extended periods of time. For those with very sensitive skin, immediate burns can occur. What's more, when these products are used in a poorly ventilated area, upper respiratory symptoms can also present.

As an alternative, you may consider laser hair removal instead of dealing with short-term solutions.
