Depileve Folisan - Post Wax Oil, Relieves Razor Burn, Razor Bumps and Ingrown Hair, Astringent, Skin Moisturizer, Gentle Exfoliator - 5 oz

This stuff is THE TRUTH! It is a MUST HAVE if you're going to shave/wax down there. It prevents ingrown hairs and itchiness/irritation like a mfer! I ran out and still decided to shave (I exfoliated the day before Memorial Day, I was going to a pool party) BIG MISTAKE! My bikini are was all messed up and I had developed ingrown hairs that hurt really badly around my bellybutton. I'm still dealing with one. Thank goodness I had some amoxicillin I saved from the dentist, it cleared it right up because I kept picking at it to go away and got an infection! No first aid treatments (alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, tea tree oil, etc.) worked on it besides the amoxicillin (antibiotic--I broke open the capsule and applied it directly to the infection, ingestion didn't work). So don't be like me! Keep this stuff on hand for your sensitive parts, and apply aloe vera gel or hydrocortisone ointment afterward. I will never be without this product again! I'd rather be hairy than suffer from ingrown hairs again!

I started waxing about four or five months ago and was getting really bad ingrown hairs & red bumps in the bikini area. Exfoliating wasn't helping whatsoever. Figured I would give this a try.At first, I was disappointed that it didn't seem to be helping but I was patient and persistent, I kept up with applying it once daily. It actually does work! Almost all my ingrown hairs are gone and no ugly red bumps!So, it does work really well but you have to be patient and make sure you are using it at least once a day.

I shave every day and would always get in-grown hairs. My sister waxes people and suggested I try this. It works so well! No more in-grown hairs! YEA!!

I don't feel like it was the original product. The smell of it smells like ONLY rubbing alcohol and not the actual mixture.

Used this after I started shaving the bikini area again instead of waxing which has become an added expense I don't need right now. It really does work more than some other products. The woman who waxed me suggested this product if tea tree oil didn't help or exfoliating afterwards. It has an unusual smell and it might burn slightly right after shaving but it does cut down on ingrown hairs.

My fiancé was skeptical, went out of town and forgot to bring it, after he had been using it daily for over a month, and he came home and his neck was bumpy and red. It definitely works

I mainly wanted something that would remove any wax remnants after a waxing session.I use depileve wax and this lotion does remove any remaining stickiness, but it stings. Which isn't surprising, since the first ingredient is alcohol. It is not a terrible sting, but you definitely know when it is applied. I happened to have some coconut oil sitting on my vanity, so I put that on and it helped soothe the sting. And then I just skipped the application of the lotion on the other armpit and found coconut oil works great for de-stick-ifying my underarms after waxing. So I use coconut oil and then applying this the day after a session so it stings less. If you are only looking for something to remove wax, go with the coconut oil - the virgin kind is the best. It is cheaper for the amount, 100% natural, and better for your skin.As far as preventing ingrowns, I can't claim it does one way or the other. I do tend to get one or two ingrown hairs between waxings. Even after applying this after three waxing sessions, I still have them occur. I don't use this except on the day of the waxing, so maybe with consistent use it does prevent ingrowns. I think the reason this claim could be true is because this has a drying effect, which reduces the breeding ground for bacteria that can cause ingrowns. And the alcohol likely kills most bacteria that are breeding as a result of the moisture as well. That's probably why it worked for a reviewer's skin problem too. Just MO.I won't be buying again now that I've found coconut oil is a better alternative for the initial reason I bought this product. But I'll use this product until it is gone.

Great product! I've been using this when I shave for 2 years now. I know everyone's skin is different but I'd say not to worry about the burn (it does burn!!): this product has alcohol, but your razor-rash will smooth in minutes, or 1 hour, tops.
