I was excited to use this product as shaving often left bumps, ingrown hairs etc however the product was rather disappointing as the cream left patchy removal even after going over a 2nd time. Where it did work was OK and not had any issues with regrowth itching or ingrown hair/bumps. It also wasn't gentle like advertised on the intimate area and left me sore. I do feel it is the same as highstreet branded hair removal cream and do feel it is slightly over priced for what it is. I think the lightening cream is a little gimmicky but is fine as a aftercare cream with its aloe. Such a shame as wanted to love it.
