The Bottom Line

This hair removal cream by Avon works fast, and lasted longer than shaving. But it did leave some hair, has a strong chemical smell and irritated my skin causing red bumps.

Guide Review - Avon's Skin So Soft Fresh & Smooth Hair Removal Cream

I am never excited about a hair removal cream. I reluctantly tried this one and was surprised.

The Process

I squeezed out enough product to cover both legs at once. I evenly applied a thick coat and let it sit for about two and a half minutes. The instructions say to leave the product on for between two and a half to ten minutes.

Since I'm very impatient, I tested the removal at three minutes. I used a damp washcloth and firmly pressed and swiped the product off. To my amazement the hair came off with it. I have coarse thick hair and I was expecting to have to leave the product on for the full ten minutes. I continued to remove the product and the hair continued to follow.

The 'Smell'

I did not like the smell. Although, it was not as bad as some of the nationally known products out there, it was very strong.

The Results

The product seemed to work okay, but I did notice some rogue hair that was hanging on for dear life after my shower. My legs did not feel dry after using the product, which was good, but I noticed that I did have irritation the next day. I had red bumps for about three days.
