Cream for depilation "Veet" - advertising tricks and the truth of life

Modern fashionable ladies do not think their lifewithout depilation, especially in the midst of the swimming season. I must say that today there are a lot of ways to get rid of unwanted hair, starting from shaving machines of special design and ending with photoepilation. By the way, the latter allows you to get rid of the hair once and for all after the first procedure. However, the cost of this pleasure is high enough, so many ladies prefer alternative solutions. One of them is depilation cream. Let's try to consider all the pros and cons of this method, based not on advertising promises, but on the feedback of consumers.
As an example, take the product known and popular - a depilation cream "Veet" (the country of origin - France).

Recall what exactly do we promise the manufacturers of the cream?

1. "With cream" Veet "the skin remains smooth twice longer than after using the shaver."

Unfortunately, these are just empty words,because this tool does not remove the hairs from the root, and therefore they will grow the same way as after shaving. In this cream for depilation, "Veet" differs little from the usual machine.
For the sake of justice I note that in my entire life to meThere was only one depilation cream, which removed the hairs from the root. The company Lankom produced this miracle product, and it was a quarter of a century ago. The cream has long been removed from production, because it contained dangerous ingredients. More than a single cream for depilation with a similar effect, I have not met. It is possible that a fantastic result was achieved precisely due to these ingredients harmful to health.

2. "Cream depilatory" Veet "is an express remedy, with which you will get rid of the hairs on the skin in a matter of minutes."

This promise is not entirely a lie, but rather a half-truth. The depilation cream "Veet" works faster than many of its counterparts, but it does not reach the speed of hair removal indicated in the instructions. On average, the procedure takes ten minutes, against the claimed three to five.

New depilation cream "Veet" reviews causedthe most negative, because it was intended for the procedure in the shower. As you understand, there is simply no way to detect time under these conditions. Therefore, needless to say, the cream should work almost instantly, maximum in two to three minutes. However, the product did not meet the expectations of consumers. One consolation - you can use the old fashion, leaving the cream on the skin for a longer period.

It should be noted that buyers in the line "Veet"attracts also a variety of products. Believing advertising, young ladies hurry to overpay for a novelty - a spray that is supposedly applied much easier than a cream. It should be noted that there is no significant difference between the two goods. So what's the point of paying extra money for upgraded packaging?

Well, on top of that I would like to say about the mistakes of the buyers themselves.

For today on sale there is a cream fordepilation "Veet" for different skin types, including sensitive ones. But it is this abundance that deceives a simple consumer. Most ladies mistakenly believe that the allergy and irritation on the skin is essentially the same, so they buy a cream for sensitive skin from "Veet" in the hope that there will be no side effects from it. In a number of cases, indeed, it does. But often the allergic reaction still makes itself felt. And then the young ladies firmly believe that the reason for the depilation cream "Veet", and not their own imprudence. To prevent this from happening to you, do not be too lazy to conduct a preliminary test on a small closed area of ​​the skin. Perhaps, the allergic reaction is not caused by the components of a particular cream, but by sulfur, which serves as the basis for most of these drugs.
Of course, if the skin already has irritation, scratches or abrasions, the depilation cream "Veet", like other similar products, it is better not to use.
The instructions to the cream also say thatIt is unacceptable to use mousses, gels and creams "Veet" to remove hair on the face, chest or in the groin. The skin in these places, as a rule, has an increased sensitivity, and, therefore, the probability of getting irritation increases at times.
