Doesn't work on face with tube and doesn't work on legs in the bottle – It used to work but now it doesn't. Even my granddaughter said it was useless. She used the one in the bottle and i use the one in the tube. I used Nair for years and it worked but not anymore Show details
I used this as a teen and it burned my whole body, I tried it again yesterday & it only burned my inner thighs. If youre sensitive i would not recommend it! Im on the heavier side & needed over half the bottle to cover my legs. Show details
An honest review – My honesty? It's a good product but not for everyone. I have pretty sensitive skin and unfortunately this product did make my whole entire body really itchy and burning after only a couple minutes. Also If you have scars be careful! I have some very very large scars running down my legs that have been healed for over 2 years now but as soon as… Read more
that nair came in contact it hurt severely, I had to wrap my legs in hot towels to stop the severe burning pain in my scars. It's very very rare I'm brought to tears from pain but this one definitely got a couple running down my cheeks from how severely I was burning. Thankfully no redness, no broken skin or allergic breakout from the cream, i really thought I was having an allergic reaction but nope just a girly with hella sensitive skin mixed with this cream equaled a very bad situation. Be carefull yal.

This product is terrible, the ingredients are not good for your skin whatsoever!
This works! – Beautiful thick, silky cream with a Devine smell. I did have to leave it on for 6 mins but after wiping it off, there was no remaining hairs and skin felt smooth and soft. I would definitely buy again Show details
Sensitive… pigs fly!!! – Decided to use this product, read instructions, left for the time they suggested. Washed off, 3 mins later, my face was on FIRE Show details

This is a good product for sensitive skin! – Nair-sensitive-hair-removal-cream was really good on my skin. I categorise my skin from medium sensitive and have used other hair removal cream and different types of wax. With other products, my skin becomes harsh and a strong pungent unbearable smell stopped me from buying those brands. And with wax, let's say wax is good but gives me a rash for… Read more
at least a day, and come on wax is no pain-free. All these factors are well covered by Nair's sensitive skin product with Almond oil. Almond really does a trick to moisturise the skin. Though, it requires a couple of applications to remove hair completely. I am going to continue using this product and will keep posted if I change my mind otherwise. Thanks for reading this review. Cheers
Amazing results and really positive experience!! – Got a facial wax a few weeks ago and naturally the hair grew back. Instead of going and waxing again I thought I would give nair a go. Wow. After applying it for 3 minutes on patches of my skin where hair was visible, I used a damp cloth to remove the cream and the hair just came off so easily. I am so happy with this product and will DEFINITELY use and recommend it. Not to mention my skin is feeling amazing and smooth!
Excellent – Been looking for a solution on my hairy legs. just recently my officemate recommended me this product since his brother has been using it for sometime. so i asked him to buy one for me. when i applied it on the first time ( small amount to check if i have some allergic reaction, thank God i dont have) i was amazed how the hair was removed. then i… Read more
applied it for the second time on half of my leg and after 10mins. OMG, it was perfect. it doesnt leave any rashes and my skin was smooth.
Negative reviews
Terrible chemical burns – I used on bikini line inside leg. I have sores that are weeping. I’m so upset and can’t do sport until it clears up. I’ve tried everything I’m now using calamine lotion. Show details
Chemical burns to Face and Neck – My daughter used the Nair facial hair remover for sensitive skin and after 2 minutes her skin was on fire. Washed it off immediately but the damage was already done. Finished up at Fiona Stanley Hospital, Emergency dept. 2nd degree chemical burns to face and neck. Never use this product it's not safe Show details
Did not work plus caused irritaion – I bought this and have tried using it a few times. Not only did the cream cause itchiness and irriation but it didnt get rid of the hair. I tried for a longer period of time (10 minutes) but even then, the hair didnt go away. It smells, burns, itches and you can still feel and smell the chemicals on your body after washing it off (even with soap). I Went through all that, and it didnt even get rid of majority of my hair.

Chemical burn – Fortunately I did as it says on the box and tried the product on a small section of my leg. The instructions state to shower product off after 5-6 minutes, no longer than 10 minutes. I showered what I could off at the 6min mark and the hair appeared to come away well. I was left with some product still on my leg. The instructions say that if… Read more
required you can use a wet cloth to remove the product, so I used a flannel to wipe the rest away. After a few minutes that area of my skin opened up like a sore/burn. I leave this review mainly to warn others that testing on a small area is so important. I knew there was a chance that the product may cause some irritation but did not expect such a reaction. I'll attach photo's, one being of a few minutes after using the product, the other is 3 days later (today). I am so glad it was such a small area just above my ankle, i dread to think had I applied it fully to my legs.

Stay Away – I bought this for the first time and left it on for only 2 minutes and the burning sensation was unbearable. I removed cream only to reveal it didn't remove hair properly and I have red patches and sore. This is the worst product o have ever used. Stay away people Show details
ehhh? – it felt totally fine on my legs, smooth and not irritable at all.. then i went to my armpits and had a horrendous reaction. i’m sore, i cannot lift my arms without being in pain, constant burning feeling. if its not gone by tomorrow night i wont be able to go into work. i will only use on my legs from now on. Show details
Worst product – My friend and I both used and got a rash and darkened skin. I used it for the second time and got it. Both times my skin got wounded and ended up with dark patches. My friend’s whole skin is red and wounded. My mistake for using it for the second time. Don’t use it. Worst product. Felling suing them. Hair didn’t come off as well even after following all the instructions. Show details
Not suitable for sensitive skin – I did a patch test on a small part of my leg as recommended. No pain or burning during application of wait time. The smell was good compared to other similar products. I left the cream on for the 5 minutes and checked to see if it was working. Hair was coming off so I removed the cream in the minimum time recommended. Rash began to appeared all… Read more
over test patch and the burning sensation lasts near 24 hours. A side from the red angry skin, my test patch is smooth and hair free. Very unfortunate but I am thankful I followed instructions and did a test first.
Not suitable for sensitive skin – The product does remove hair but feels like it removed my skin.. definitely not suitable for sensitive skin, a rash came up a soon as I took it off and has a burning feeling. So annoyed. Show details
Not for sensitive skin. I left on for recommended time and it did not remove hair and also burnt my shin – Do not use this product if you have sensitive skin. It burns and I actually lost some skin on a patch on my leg. Show details
Never ever use it – I have similar sensation and it burnt a lot. I hope it doesn't damage my skin anymore further. Never had this kind of experiences before with other hair removal products. Show details
This did nothing – The cream didn't work at all and it's just a waste of time and money. I would not recommend this product to anyone. The brand itself has constantly disappointed me with their terrible formulas and though I have tried only a few of their products, I think that this brand is a farce for making me pay for a product that doesn't do as described.
Very grainy and ruff – Very grainy ruff cream Seems like pieces of glass or plastic through it. Dosnt remove the hair very well at all. Rang the company and they said they have had complaints about this before. They said they have had it tested and they reckon it's bits of crystalised cream.

Do Not Use on bikini line as indicated – Product worked fine on my legs but when I applied to my bikini line( which products states that you can) for a total of 8 minutes. I tell you not my reproductive organ was on bloody fire.
Waste of money – I was very disappointed with this wax. It was slow to heat up and despite following the instructions exactly, this wax did not work. It became brittle and broke, or when I managed to pull it off in a strip, it failed to remove 95% of the leg hair. Now I have to go on holiday with dreadfully hairy legs. That will teach me to leave it to the last minute to try a new product. Save your time and money and skip this product.
Never will I use it again – I used it as the directions said and felt it burning on my left leg so went to take a shower and for 3 days I'm in the worst pain, can't sleep cuz it hurts when the sheet touches it or anything. Now I have skin peeled off by it.
Cannot recommend – I too used this product and after the recommeded time removed it with little hair removed. I redid it the next day and still no hair removed. I will not be recommending this product to anyone.
Worst thing ever. I'd sue them – I have sensitive skin. I did the patch test yesterday on my chin and it was fine. An hour ago I applied the cream to my whole face and it started burning and stinging really bad. I took it off straight away and the water stung my face. Now it's really sore and red and painfully and ugly. I literally do not recommend this to anyone! I'm so disappointed and I even cried about it.
Red and burning!!! – Used this thirty minutes ago now and even after doing good a patch test to ensure I wouldn't have an adverse reaction, my lip feels like it's on fire! I left it on for four minutes total (three minutes didn't remove any hair) and followed all instructions to the letter. I don't appreciate Nair for advertising this as a product for 'sensitive' skin… Read more
given that it has left me with a swollen, red, burning upper lip - I gave it 2 stars because it does remove the hair. I know tomorrow I will wake up with little pimples across my upper lip, I'll write an update tomorrow.
Not very effective, bad for sensitive skin – Used this on my neck and it was fine however even after soaking hair beforehand AND leaving the cream on for longer than suggested it still didn't remove the hair properly. A few weeks later I used it on my face. After a fine patch test on my cheek I applied it to the sides of my face and upper lip. Had to wash it off within 3 minutes because… Read more
of how badly it was burning me. I now have blisters and redness on my face, and the hair is still there!
Horrible! – I used this product for my "sensitive skin" and I did I test patch to make sure I didn't react to it, and I didn't Over the 48 hours so I went ahead and and used it on my back. A week later and THE WORST ACNE appeared. Gross and painful! Not impressed.
Awful crap dont use it – This is the worst my legs are on fire screw you nair im done with your crap and lies . Thanks for nothing halfwits. My legs are burning and I want to die now
Chronic Eczema Sufferer & this has been great! – Admittedly I only used this for the first time tonight, I have been nervous to try any hair removal creams having had chronic eczema (at times requiring hospitalisation & 10 months of the year steroid treatment). I've also had some reactions to bleaching products and other hair removal creams from various other brands. I can confidently report… Read more
that at this stage I have had a brilliant experience, tried to remove after 3 minutes yet needed more time, after 8 minutes I removed it all, no negative side affects on my eczema and as far as I can see there has been no chemical burns.
Will comment tomorrow if anything changes however I am beyond stoked that I have been able to find a product (so far) that has not negatively effected my eczema!
A must try product! – I'm a guy and facial hair just annoys me. I dont want to shave it off because it will grow thicker and faster. So, I tried waxing but it was so painful I had to stop. I then asked some of my girl friends if they use hair removal cream for their face and one of my girl friends recommended this product. I bought it and it was pretty cheap ($6 AUD)… Read more
compare to the waxing strips ($12 AUD).
I used it the night that I bought it and left it on my face for 10 mins. The smell of the cream is not strong and it kinda smell good to be honest. The 'spatula' is also helpful for spreading the cream on your face instead of using hands, therefore making things cleanier and faster. After 10 mins, I washed it off and some of the hairs were gone but there were still a small amount of it on my face. Otherwise, it is still a good hair removal cream and I definitely see myself using it in the future.
Best cream for body anyone with sensitive skin – I really like this product the other brands give me a chemical burn Read instructions and follow them wash off after 10 mins. Not much smell and I didn't get a skin reaction to the cream all good in my book. Leaves skin feeling great no chemical burn smells better then the others Missed a few hairs had to leave on slightly longer then 10 mins but i wouldn't recommend that Show 2 replies
Good – This is a good hair removing cream which is gentle to use and goes on smoothly. I think it comes with its own applicator spatula, which makes life easier and less messy. It takes about 10minutes to work and just washes off in the shower. I havent had any reactions from this cream, although they say on the box to test a small area first. I feel… Read more · 1
safer using this one because its for sensitive skin and it seems gentler to use. This is a good hair removing cream that I have used several times. It works well and because its for sensitive skin, I havent had any reactions or problems with it. There is nothing I dislike about this product.
