Burning pain after using the cream
I bought veet pure hair removal cream in shower at my chemist.After following the instructions, I put removal cream on my arms for less than 5 minutes. And wash it off in the shower. My arms are just turning red and painful like burning. Second day, It left all red dots over my arms.
I went to store for refund. They won’t refund me. Ask to contact veet. I called them by a number written back of product label. No response. Just auto voice msg.
So I go back to the store and ask them to contact veet. They gave me an email address for contacting. But still no updates.
I read so many people have similar problem like me towards this product. It is not ok that veet just walk away with default products. Show details
It cause serious burns
I use veet for years but this time All I got was a very serious burns all over my legs, and I see I am not alone, I’m here in Spain and I saw this complaint in many countries now Show detailsFRAUD !!!!
Facts to be noted:1) not even 1/10th of the hair was removed even after keeping for exact time or more (tried both) as mentioned on the cover.
2) after literally washing off the cream with hands as the remover stick given works absolutely nothing
3) the 1/10 of the hair which were removed by washing off just resulted itching in that area
Girls, stop using this product and wasting money. Show details
Does not work
Have used this a couple of times and the first time it worked fine but the following times I have been left with 95% of the hair on my legs still there.Don't waste your money. Show details
Fabulous
While out shopping with a friend, I suddenly remembered I needed depilatory cream. The store didn’t have my usual, so I start studying the available options. I notice that Veet has a pink bottle, and a corresponding blue bottle. I didn’t have my glasses with me, so through the powers of reasoning decided thus: pink bottle must be for bits, so that’s what I bought.That evening while in the shower, the other half swaggers into the bathroom grinning, butt naked, with the nether regions generously coated in Veet. I of course laughed.
Nek minut, h... Read moreis face changes to one of confusion morphing into horror and impending doom. He grabbed me and literally threw me out of his way, while mumbling expletives and something about starting to burn. After regaining my balance, I was confronted with him nearly folded in half backwards, meat and veg squarely in the shower stream. With his left hand, the meat was being safely safely lifted from the danger zone (in reality it was stretched that taught I was waiting for the “twang”) while his right hand frantically tried to wash off the attacker. The accompanying soundtrack can best be described as a repetitious chorus of “my balls, my balls” with the occasional “ooohhh my f**king balls” thrown in. In summary: the cream worked, pink bottle IS NOT for pink bits (blue for sensitive apparently) and for the comedy value alone this product was well worth 5 stars.
Pathetic
Used it couple of timesBut recently bought new tube and it burnt my skin on both legs within 4 minutes of applying it. It’s been more than a week and I tried to lodge complaints but VEET number does not work. Then operator asks for voicemail to call back. I didn’t hear anything back. I haven’t been to work. Can’t walk or drive as my leg is swollen. Very painful and the company does not want to take any responsibility that’s why they don’t have any contact details.
Disgusting
Company should be closed Show details
Do not buy this
I used the veet and followed the instructions and it barley took any hair off. I had patchy areas where hair was still seen. This is a waste of money. Nair works better than this.Allergic reaction/burns to underarms
I used this on my legs the day before and it seemed to work well, a few patches here and there but I decided it might have been how I applied it.The next day I used it on my underarms, and had it on for 5 minutes before I started to remove it. As soon as I started a burning/stinging feeling came and I immediately stopped and couldn’t continue because it hurt so much. Now my underarms are half hairy and very red. Skin is very sore and irritated. I would half recommend for your legs, but not anywhere sensitive.
Left burns and cuts, Allergic reaction to skin
I tried this on my arms and underarms cause i thought it would be easy and convenient. I won’t lie, it did remove the hair well (but not from the roots ofcourse) and left my skin a little soft. But i also got an allergic reaction in my underarms right while i was in the shower and my arms burnt. By the end of the day, my arms had these small red spots all over and my underarms felt like the skin was scraped off. The allergic reaction turned worse the next day when i had puss coming out of my underarms and burnt skin. DO NOT RECOMMEND this at all.Ripped my skin off – don't buy!
Are used Veet wax strips to remove facial hair. The next morning my entire lip was scabbed over. You were pieces of my skin missing and it's storming very badly. I will never use this product again, nor do I recommend it.HORRIBLE!!!
This product is horrible. I'm a very hairy person overall and in the past I've used "Nair". One thing about Nhair is it stinks really bad and can have a burning effect if you leave it on for too long or if you have sensitive skin but it works great!! Veet is the WORST hair removal cream i have ever bought. I will NEVER spend my money on it again. I spent about $7-$8 on this product and it did NOT please me. I left the product on my skin for 10 minutes as it said you should, & as i went to remove it, NO hair came off. Then I put it on again for ... Read moreanother 10 minutes & NOTHING happened. I'm absolutely upset and i will never again buy this product. If i could get my money back i would. If you're looking for a product, choose hair!! and if not that, then just stick to shaving because veet is NOT worth it.Easy to use
Easy to removel dkin hair..jhst need to wait for a little while..need to apply some skin care product after using it...otherwise tour skin will be too dry...however it doesnt hurtChemical burn
Not worth it !!! I paid like $7-8 for it and all it did was leave me with a burn. It didn't take anyhairs off ! I had it on for less than a minute. Maybe even a few seconds. As soon as I put it on it was burning I rinsed it off right away now the area is very red and burning and just all around painful.Removes hairs but burns!
I tried this on my legs and underarms, leaving it on for about 10 minutes before scraping it all off in the shower. Most of the hairs did come off quite easily but it left my skin tingling and when I went to bed shortly after, my skin started to burn, especially the underarms! Then when I checked my skin in the morning, I noticed that the hairs were not gone from the root; a lot of them were still around 0.5-1mm above the skin. Skin still feels smoother than a day or two after shaving (not as stubbly), but I'm hesitant about using such a harsh product on my skin again.I'm a hairy person and it removed hairs
I love it, such a shame with all the bad reviews anyways. I timed it for exactly 15 minutes and most of my leg hairs were gone. Cause I'm pregnant I just shaved the small left over area on my left leg but that was all. It works great for me and of course I have to agree the smell is horrible though.Questions & Answers

Details
Veet states that this depilatory cream has water-resistant properties, which allows it to remove unwanted hair in the shower. The brands also cites a pleasant-smelling fragrance, and a formula that has a hydrating effect on skin.
Ease of use
While this product’s in-shower application sounds like an ideal way to save time, its practical application was less than a smooth process for reviewers.
Veet recommends that you try not to wet your legs (or other area that you’ve applied the cream to) for the first 3 minutes after application. This could be a little tricky to do, while in the shower.
Effectiveness
A number of reviewers observed that this cream simply wasn’t effective at removing hair. They observed that no hair came off after the recommended 10-minute waiting time. Sometimes the product was left on for longer, and hair still didn't budge.
Other reviewers stated that while this cream did remove their hair, it left them with an unpleasant burning sensation. Other reviewers were left with dark patches or discoloured skin after using this product.
