Silk-épil 5 Epilator, Hair Removal Device, Women Shaver & Trimmer, Wet and Dry, Includes Shaver Head and Trimmer Comb, SE5-041, Grey

Loved it . Gets all the hair

A word to the wise for someone with physical urticaria. This way of removing hair is not good for us! It triggered all the histamines and burning welts appeared. Day 2 the burning is still there. I am going to look into returning it. I will not give this a low rating because of my own skin problems because it did its job. But if you have allergies to touch, please believe me, this isn’t going to be your friend!

The good: It’s a great epilator that doesn’t require hair to be very long to remove. I like being able to use it in the shower and find using shave oil helps glide it. It doesn’t leave my skin raw or bumpy, and causes less ingrown hairs than sugaring, but slightly more than shaving. I find my underarms recover more quickly than from shaving or sugaring. My legs don’t need recovery time. I’t doesn’t take much longer than shaving, and I don’t have to do it as frequently. Winner all the way 😊 The good and bad: I like that the light can show me any hairs that I’ve missed, but I hate how easily it gets in my eyes when I’m depilating my underarms. Wish there was a separate switch to turn it on and off. The disappointing: According to the instruction manual, you cannot get the shaver/trimmer portion wet! This is vexing as I use the trimmer on my pubic hair. Now I have to climb back in the shower after I towel dry to trim my bikini line, put the trimmer outside the shower, then turn it back on to rinse off the excess hair. I only removed one star because I love the epilator, but I would have bought a different model if I’d realized only half the attachments could get wet.

I love this product. After the first use or two I didn't have to use it every day like I had to shave every day. I use it on my upper lip and chin. I have also used it on my arm hair. Not as painful as some claim. Just a momentary sting. And it if faster than if you had to pluck each hair. Instead of pain for each hair you tweeze it's one brief twinge and multiple hair are gone!

Product is useless!!!! Breaks hair off causing ingrown hair. Does not remove at root as proported

Okay, this is cool! I've been waxing my legs for decades, but I have to have them done professionally because I can't reach the back of my legs. This reaches the back of my legs! It also worked great under my arms. One of my better hygiene purchases.

Ok epilator does ok at removing hair, a little painful in sensitive spots.

This product is AMAZING!!! I’ve been using it consistently for about 4 months now and I love it. The first time I was not prepared for the level of hurt I endured lol but after using it consistently, I’ve gotten accustomed to it and I must say the finish is the equivalent of a wax. Highly impressed! Also, remember to to exfoliate BEFORE using. It seems to really help.

Very good product recommend it!

Very disappointed that the epilator didn’t have the right plug to use in Australia so the product can’t be used

I have tried a few different ones this one is the least painful and removes the hairs nicely. If you are debating between a few definitely recommend this one as a beginner who has a low pain tolerance

My red-head daughter has been using the this for some time now and has been happy with the results. It’s gentle enough for her sensitive skin and does a good job of removing hair without causing much irritation. It’s worth noting that she has fair hair, so I can’t speak to how well this would work for someone with darker or coarser hair. Overall, for her it’s been a convenient and effective solution for smoother skin, and she prefers it over traditional waxing or shaving. I can't speak to how well this will work for anyone who doesn't have the fair hair that red heads are known for, and suggest anyone considering using this to be mindful of how their skin and hair type might respond, but for fair-haired users like my daughter, it’s been a solid choice.

not strong but nice entry level product
