I've used hair removal creams before which have been stingy and left my skin sensitive. This one caused no stinging whatsoever. I applied before getting in the shower and left on for approx 3 mins. For me it definitely needed longer so I did have to get out and reapply as some areas were left patchy. Second time round it worked really well I just needed to leave it on longer. The skin was a little bit red to begin with only due to the fact that you have to scrub the cream off. This calmed down very quickly and I was not left with any redness or discomfort at all. I would give this a solid 9/10 only losing a mark because it's quite runny and dripped a little bit during application, and next time I will leave it on the full time before getting into the shower.
