Description

Nair For Men, Speed Cream is a depilatory (hair removal cream) used on the legs, arms, underarms, back and chest, and scented with a light masculine fragrance. As its name boasts, the speed cream is supposed to rid hair in as little as 3 mintutes.

The Test Subject- My Brother

I wanted to test it on a man, so I used Nair For Men, Speed Cream on my brother's back. He's very opinated about what he does and doesn't like about products, thus the perfect guinea pig.

The Pros

  • Took all the hair off.

  • There was no 'burn', like with a razor.

  • The hair ends felt a little bit softer than shaving when growing back.

The Cons

  • The product was very, very cold going on his back. And it was warm (about 70 degrees) inside the house.
  • The speed cream stunk a little bit. (My brother thought it smelled bad, but there's a lot worse depilatories).
  • It's full of strong chemicals. A big drawback for my brother who likes using more natural products on his skin.
  • It didn’t work in 3 minutes, but took 10 for him.

Review Nair For Men Speed Cream

The cream has to be put on very thick, but not rubbed in for it to take effect. I did read on some other reviews where the hair didn't come off after keeping the cream on for 10 minutes (which is the max time). So make sure to really coat the hair if you use it.

I would also suggest wearing gloves because this is a very strong cream made to dissolve men's hair in a short time. It can really burn and sting your hands.

My brother has shaved his back before and gotten redness and bumps, so he really liked not having any of those issues with the speed cream. But, he wouldn't use it again because of the strong chemicals.
