Can this be used on the face after waxing to prevent irritation/ not cause pimples?

Hi Lauren. I've never waxed my face so I'm not sure. I use this for bug bites etc. don't use it on my face. I use the Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil cleansing pads. They work great. Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Sorry, I have no earthly idea. It is good for minor skin irritations/infections, but that's all I know.

I've been using this for years after shaving/waxing and for the occasional dry skin patches. It's the only thing that does NOT sting or burn for some reason especially on the face.

Yes!! I specifically bought this product to soothe my body after waxing. I get very irritated and RED after waxing, and this product soothes so nicely. I applied it a few times throughout the day, and the irritation and redness went away within the day I was waxed.

I use it everywhere -- mainly on my face. Just be careful the wax isn't too hot or you might burn yourself.

I use it several minutes after waxing my bikini area. It stings briefly and I have highly sensitive skin. Within minutes the skin is calmed down and all is well. If you plan on working out after a wax I would wait, otherwise you're good to go. This stuff is a miracle in a bottle.

you would have to inquire from the maker of this product . ive used for 45 years ! ive only had one precancerous spot taken off my face but never used the product on my face ... I certainly am not going to stop using it and use it on feet , hands , back of my arms and elbows ... knees ! after this long ... I should have developed something ,,, no irritations or reactions ever .

I personally would not use it on the face due to the sensitive nature of my skin on my face. This product causes redness and a rash, not something I want to show on my face.

Yes, it is great for any minor skin irritation, burns, scratches, including relieving razor burn. Great face wash too.

I would not recommend this for your face. You are likely to get little red bumps. They usually go away after a few hours, but it is really not the best option. I have heard really great things about this product though, and the reviews on amazon are very positive. Maybe give it a try: R.E.M. Spring Facial Hair Remover

I have not used this on my face, but I suggested this product to a friend of mine and she uses it on her face. I get bumps and breakouts in a different area. What I use and it's never failed is Witch Hazel, specifically T.N. Dickinson's that you can get here or at a co-op or a whole foods grocer. I use an exfoliating sponge (they have them for faces) every day and then after using this thing I use the witch hazel. If I use the witch hazel right after epilating I never have any bumps or breakouts. One must be diligent with the exfoliating and witch hazel to prevent breakouts or bumps with any epilator. FYI, Witch Hazel can be drying. So if you're using this on your face, it could dry your face. I would wait for about 20 minutes afterwards and then put cream on your face...stuff that won't clog your pours like Clarins or Yves Rocher or some other high quality stuff. You'll need less than a size of a pea. I wouldn't mess around with cheap facial cleaners or moisturizers if you're going to put this thing on your face. Cheap stuff might really make you break out because with regular exfoliating and witch hazel you could make yourself break out with cheap stuff.

No...the instructions clearly say this would be a bad idea....do not know why you cannot use it on your face, but I would not do that.

Yes! You can use this amazing device on any part of your body, and I think it hurts less than the waxing. Just take it slow and use the lower speed.

I use it on blemishes to shorten their stay on my face and neck ;) I don't use it as prevention though. It's super slimy so it isn't something I want all over my face. Spot treatments work for me.

I'm sure you can. I have put it on my face before after a shower. But I do not use it exclusively as a facial moisturizer. It might be too rich as this is a body lotion.

NoIt says, and I quote, "Designed for use on the legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line, but not suitable for use on the face..." on the instructions. Do NOT use it on your face!

Does not cause breakouts when used as a moisturizer. IDK if it stops them. I won't use any other moisturizer when I break out, and it is perfect after a peel partly for this reason.

I suppose you could, although I don't think it's recommended for use on the face. Because facial skin can be so sensitive, I would really be careful doing it, and especially avoid the eye area. There are tinters and bronzers made just for the face that might work better.

I usually use it after I cleansed my face w/ hypoallergenic facial creme. Make sure that you wipe w/ alcohol before and after use. There's no instruction on the frequency of the use, but w/ me, when I have a zit, I use it almost every night and its really effective.

I believe that this product will be useful for treatment of underdeveloped acne after the area has been properly cleaned. I use it as an over all facial to help with white and black heads. Keep in mind that with using any product should be skin tested before overall use. With this being said the salve has been extremely beneficial for my sensitive skin.
