I love this product. In fact, my primary usage of this product is for getting rid of pimples. U can use it anywhere. One of the ingredients is alcohol but its not that drying.

It is used for any place that gets irritated and ingrown hair while shaving, so if you are having those issues in those areas, absolutely!! I would agree that the area could get a tad dry, though I haven't had major issues with dryness while using this product. I've experienced no other side effects.

My husband uses it on his face and says it helps with his ingrown hair. We both find it's the only thing that has helped with razor burn. I use it on my underarms and bikini area to minimize razor burn and bumps, and it works well for that. Haven't used it on my arms or legs, but you could. Haven't had any side effects.

I don't see why not. I use it on my bikini area and my underarms and it works great. I use it to prevent razor burns and ingrown hairs. It can be a little drying at times but it sure does work.

Yes, you can use it for legs, arms and armpits. I'm allergic to chemicals in many products, and have not had any allergies with this. I guess what you need to do is review the ingredients before you purchase to see if you have allergy to any chemicals. If not, then you shouldn't have a problem. This product basically disinfects your pores. You should put this before any body cream, let it dry, and then add cream.

I only ever use this, i hate the stubble of shaving and over time the hairs get thinner and less. I am not sure how to help but I don't shave my legs at all now, ever just use an epilator. It has to be 90 degrees against the skin and go slow and multiple times...that's all i can advise. It will rip some of the hair, that's just the way it is it will never be perfect but for me it's so worth it because the hair come back thinner and less visible if you miss some. The issues with ingrowns is also there so a exfoliating scrub helps. I wax in the winter too and I will never go back to shaving. I hope it works out for you.

I agree, that yes, it works great for underarms. However, once you use it on your underarms you have to continue using it. Otherwise it hurts with a regular razor. I first used it on that area about 3 months ago, and have been trying to use a regular razor there since!...it still hurts. I would use it all the time, but I don't keep it in the shower, and don't think to charge it often enough.

It does come with directions (if I remember correctly). I have used it on my legs and arms with no problem, but I don't know if the directions officially recommend it for these areas. As my review and several others note, I would be very hesitant to use it on large areas due to its strength and would suggest you test it on very small areas several times to see how your skin reacts.

pealing skin is ok, that is it working. which is one of the reason why it is great to rid ingrown hairs. if you think it is a rash(if it is painful) then stop.

Results vary, so it depends on your skin. I will say the best thing to treat an ingrown is to allow a little growth and then exfoliate the area. Waxing problematic areas have worked for me. Try European Wax Centers, they use the "blue" wax which is less painful, I'd say give it a few months to see results. I used it on my bikini line and saw results after 2 months...hope this helps!

I don't know. I only use it on my legs and underarms. It works great in those areas.

Yes.I bought it for my legs, & have since used it on my arms. it is an excellent machine for either. Hope this helps. Randy.

I've definitely seen an increase with ingrown hairs from both epilating and waxing. Can't speak specifically to under my arms; that's far too painful area for me to try epilating! Exfoliating should help with ingrown hairs.

I don't because it says you need clean skin. It grabs the hair better. It is awesome! The first few times i thought I wouldn't make it. Just let my hair grow alil and i have gotten all of my hair and i am finally soft without ingrown hairs. It takes awhile for it to grow back and it grows back softer. I look forward to it now. Almost tingly sensation not discomfort. If you have no tolerance for pain but really want to use this awesome machine. I would suggest mind over matter because that is what got me to a happy place. A good warm shower. Make sure you are comepletely exfoliated and dry. Loud music as a distraction and power through it. I am not a dr. I am just telling you my experience. So long answer short no I don't :) I hope this helps

Hmm. I don't like the new "Yes" or "No" feature from Amazon, so I'm sorry for not being more helpful earlier. I use the wax on bikini, underarms, eyebrows, and lip areas with great success and no irritation. I don't think it would work on larger surfaces (legs or arms) as well since it hardens quickly and is more easily applied in smaller patches. It takes a little while to master the temperature and thickness to get the best results. It can also be stringy and it stick quickly to undesired areas. I've lost some unintended hairs!

May be 1 inch or so? I prefer to have little bit longer hair on the legs before using it. I guess it's because it's so much pain to do it on the legs and I would want to wait til the last min before I need it. For my under arms, it doesn't hurt at all. I will do it whenever I feel like I want to be clean. I would say I use it on my underarms once a week and legs twice a month.

It can be. Each time I use it less hair comes back. You only need to use it about once a month. The hair on my legs, arms, and mustache begin to grow back slowly.

I've been using it for about 18 months now and there are some places where the hair doesn't grow back so the answer is yes, in some cases. For example, hair growth on my legs is about 80% sparser and takes a lot longer to grow back. Maintenance for me is much less frequent. I've used it on my legs, arms, underarms, and neck/face and am happy with the results.

The product is not intended for facial hair. It works well on abdomen, back, buttocks, legs, arms and pubic area, although it's not recommended for the latter.

I don't think so. Several things make me say this. A nurse I know who was of Hispanic background used it and said it was excruciatingly painful. I suggested using something like one of those topical analgesics for mouth pain. Anyway, I think it would be painful and completely ineffective for you. I am a pale white chick who is traveling and got some tan on my legs. It became much more painful to use it and I think the results were diminished with the tan as well (I have been traveling for about 10 months, so it's not that I didn't give it enough time...) Also, I used it on hairs on moles I have, which are darker than my normal skin tone, and those hairs, while lighter and less coarse, are still there. It really doesn't work on light hair on even light tone skin (it wasn't nearly as effective on my leg hair, which is lighter than say bikini-area hair, which it WAS effective on.) All in all, as a black person, I reaaaaaallllllllyy wouldn't spend my money on this. For white women who want to say get rid of chin hair, go for it. It was very effective on my chin hair. Man, do I sound grotesque or what?

YESSSSS!!!!! Thats why I only used it once! I'll keep it for the trimmer aspect, but I won't used the epil part on my legs ever again. I have thick coarse hair on my legs, almost all of them came back ingrown and it took forever to get rid of those red bumps. It works well for me on the face though.
