VeetWax Strips with Easy Gelwax, Hair Removal, Remove the Shortest Hairs, Dry Skin, Legs & Body, 40 Count

These are easy to use, not sure of the new formula yet. It's less sticky but still seems to work. If you have trouble with cold wax it's because you didn't prep. Veet is the one I have been using for years. Here are easy at home instructions from a professional:1. Wash area thoroughly and don't moisturize or add oil2. Wait until thoroughly dry3. If using on sensitive bits, dust on baby powder first4. Apply in direction of growth and smooth on firmly5. Pull in one quick motion in the opposite direction of growth ALONG SKIN! DO NOT PULL UP AND OUT! This is the key that screws up a lot of people. AGAIN, PULL OFF IN ONE QUICK MOTION IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF GROWTH KEEPING HAND CLOSE TO SKIN!5. Don't use a strip more than 2-3 times and never wax the same patch twice in one session6. Use the wipes included immediately upon finsihing and DON'T SHOWER OR GO IN WATER FOR AT LEAST 12 HOURS! If you are forced to get wet, clean skin carefully and apply olive oil mixed with some drops of tea tree to the waxed area.

This was the first time I've used a waxing product as I've always found them to be a bit daunting, and I couldn't be happier with my experience.I didn't get all the hairs my first attempt, but I also made a lot of rookie mistakes. I have a lot of trouble with my skin and this didn't bother it at all. My legs looked pretty haggard the rest of the day, but the next day they looked awesome. I'm going to wait a couple days and do another round to pick off the rebels.I saw that some people said that they were able to use strips more than once- I was not so lucky. And I tried. A lot. It wasn't worth it, it'd get very few hairs but would still sting like the Dickens.The scent was pleasant and not too strong and the after-wipes are a bit messy, but made my skin feel so much better.

It arrived with a damaged package that it seems that it was returned before? Even the expiration date will be hard to determine. Before doing the review I tried if first after taking my bath and it was awful :( I used on my legs and it felt itchy after use. Then upon looking on my legs, my legs were in red. I’ve been using veet for years now and I don’t what happen to their product now.I have pictures of the damaged box but I don’t have of my legs as I was so embarrassed after using it :(

I have used sally hansen wax strips, nads wax strips, and these and so far these are my favorite without a doubt. These do leave some wax behind on my legs after use but baby oil takes it off. I am impressed at how many times I can use the same strip over and over.The first picture was of the 1st use of the strip and the second is the last time. I used one single side strip on half of my lower leg and my hairs was pretty long. I am very impressed with this.The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the was residue left on my leg which no other brand has done so badly.

It's not as good as a salon wax, but it's so much cheaper. And it's much less messy than normal wax - so it's a win for meI use it for underarm waxing and it's not perfect, but with some tips I gleaned from others, it works pretty well. Here's what I found out1) Powder beforehand - some suggest baby powder, I use baking soda because I don't have any baby powder2) Ice? Once the strip is on, sometimes I'll actually ice the strip (not the wax side) to cool the wax so it "grips" better. I'm not sure if it makes much of a difference, but I'll do it anyway3) Be vicious with the removal - I can't actually remove it fast enough so I asked my husband to do it for me. He's much more vicious about it than me.4) Oil on a paper towel - The soothing wipes they give are nice, but there aren't very many. So I'll put some cooking or olive oil on a paper towel and wipe with that instead. I'm sure there are better oils out there, but I don't have any coconut or whatever oils at home.5) Tweeze the remainder - I'll have a few stray strains which I need to tweeze at the end, but overall it's much better than prior to waxing.I'm still contemplating laserhair removal so I don't need to keep doing this, but it's a good idea for now. :)

I just used this for the first time for my 12 year old daughter who has dark thick hair (a lot!!). I am so happy with the results!! When I pulled the 1st strip, I could not believe it: NO hair left! I used the same strip the 2nd time, and the same results. The 3rd time and just a few hairs left. Amazing!! Sometimes we used one strip even the 4th time, on the back of her leg, where it didn't matter that much, and at the very end we used the epilator for the few hairs left. We only used 6 doublw sided strips out of 20, but for others you might use up to 10. The oil wipes were great too, they smell natural and they got rid of all the wax left. We'll run out of wipes before we run out of the wax strips, but no worries, olive oil on paper towel does the same job, I think even better. I am one happy mama, I didn't have to spend a fortune to have this done professionally, or torture my girl by having her shave every day in the shower. I would give this 10 stars if I could. I had not heard of cold wax before, I only used hot wax when I was younger, then I bought the epilator and it was much easier (and painful, but worth it, imo)

HATE the new formula! Did not stick to hairs, and the wax would often stick to my skin. I will not order this formula again.

I've been waxing my legs for the past couple years and always used Sally Hansen products. So out of curiosity I wanted to try the veet. I am sad to say this was the worst waxing that I have ever had!The was came off the strips onto my legs.After I was done there was still a lot of hair on my legs and it was long enough to be waxed.The "perfect skin wipes" dried out long before I had gotten the wax off.After looking at my legs, I have tiny bruises all over them.So, I will return to my Sally Hansen products!

I was very skeptical about using these strips. I wasn’t sure if they’d actually work. But they did!!! I am so pleased with these strips, and I will Be buying again.

Bravest thing I ever did was pull this sucker (“parallel to the skin,” not “up and away.”). Indeed it worked.

Whatever this "new formula" is, it's no good. The wax, I feel like, is more thick and meant to be less painful but it's not a one-yank formula anymore.

20 out of 40 wax strips were stolen..The box was open both the sides and I found all the wax strips in the cover they used for shipping

The only reason I use this wax for my upper lips and it’s been great .

I probably could have tweezed my leg hair in less time. It took me about an hour just to do the top of my legs.

Ive been using it for yreas love it

Is this like getting a professional waxing? No. But does it do about 95% of the job for about 1/10th of the price? You betcha.

Works great. I use them regularly. No mess wax strips

I enjoyed waxing myself for the first time. smells great and easy to use. Just be careful!
