Nood rocks. As with most people I was skeptical at first but my armpits were the first to be hair free after just 4 short weeks. It did however take about 7 weeks for my upper lip hair and a few little whiskers. I am so glad I made this purchase. Those that complain it takes a while to use, it’s true, but well worth it, I have always been self conscious of my facial hair. My husband has also used it for his neck and upper back, his skin tone is quite a bit lighter than mine and it works great for him as well. So happy w my purchase.
