Satin SmoothTitanium Blue Thin Film Hard Wax - Hair Removal Wax, No Strip Waxing for Sensitive Skin, Ideal for Coarse, Thick, Stubborn Hair, 14oz.

As someone suffering with hirsutism due to pcos, it's very frustrating having to pluck or shave everyday. This wax is amazing for stubborn course facial hair and pulls most of them out from the root, and i only have to pluck a few stubborn hairs, and this lasts me a couple days. The hair grows back less course so I'm satisfied. Definitely the best wax I've used so far! I also do have sensitive skin and i dont get irritated so i highly recommend for pcos girlies 💁‍♀️

So, I'll be honest: I've had some hormonal issues over the years and got some extra hair growth on my face I'm NOT too happy about. The worst of it is very thick/coarse, and I'd liken it similar to a man's beard hair... there's a bit too much for me to bare plucking, so I decided to give at home waxing a go.I had tried another hard wax brand before this, and although it certainly worked fine, it was very painful to rip off and left my sensitive face skin red-irritated and bleeding in some spots. I decided after a few patches it was time to try the satin smooth instead (I mean, it "makes your skin soft" or whatever it totes, so I'd hoped it'd be a bit gentler... -- and it was!). When I first switched over to this product, I felt like it was pain free, because of the difference in it and the harsh pain of the hard wax I'd used prior. Of course, that didn't last, as no matter how you frame it, pulling hair out of your face HURTS, but it certainly was as pleasant as I felt it could be.By the end of the process, my face was a little pink/tender (I'd gone over some areas more than once as I hadn't spread it properly to get all the hair - my fault, not the wax). I put some soothing cream, hydroncordozone (SP) and polysporin on overnight, and woke up hair and irritation free! By day 3 I had a couple white spots in some problem areas, but nothing I couldn't deal with, and I believe was more the result of my personal impatience over any flaw with the wax.I used a wax heater to heat this at the lowest heat (I think between 40-60C). The container says to allow it to melt until there is a little "island" of hard wax left over in the center. Honestly, I'd just allow it to melt 'enough' til I could push on the "island" and melted wax would ooze up around it LOL, and I found that it wasn't "too hot" nor too sticky that it'd dry before I could get it on the hair that way. It dries almost instantly and is ready to pull after that, so I'd do a few areas at once (just little sections, not all connected!) and let it heat again while I tackled ripping those off.I later used it to clean up my eyebrows and it was practically painless (much less sensitive area for me), compared to the soft waxes and cloth strips the ladies at my salon use (which always leave my eyes watering and me jumping - I'm a bit of a baby when it comes to hair removal haha).I did find it would get a bit "tacky" if I heated it TOO MUCH. And if too little or I allowed it to cool too much, it'd dry before I could get it in place over the hair (it might still stick to skin, but it wouldn't 'envelope' all the hairs). So overall if you're having any issues with the consistency, I'd recommend reassessing your melting of the product. It WILL likely break off if you spread it over a large area, that is how all hard wax is designed. I also had no issues removing it after with nothing but face wash and some water - but keep in mind that was only for wax that wasn't clinging to hair already LOL - that stuff was getting pulled out/off or staying on my face for the rest of my life, so if you think you'll chicken out nab some proper remover...Good luck with your waxing guys and gals... !!!! I have to say, I've always felt waxing should be considered a form of masochistic self harm over a beauty technique, but this "satin smooth" was the kindest of the 10 different wax products I tried from Amazon.

I don’t even know how it has a 4.4 star rating. It should definitely be lower. I’m not saying that is crazy bad but it’s definitely not worth the money! The blue one (hard wax) is alright but not the best at all and the zinc soft wax is actually not bad but all the others are garbage, sorry. All I gotta say is buy a professional wax that is much better that is a probably only a dollar or two more.

Easy to use

I'm a wax newbie so take my opinion for what it's worth. I use a small $10 slow cooker from a big box store for this and it works. Just check it to make sure it's not too hot before you slather it on (which for me it never is burn worthy but ya never know). I also use "popsicle sticks" - the big ones that you can find cheap at a craft store. That said, it will remove 90-95% of course, thick hair in one pull in the "sensitive areas" (omg, ouch). I find with some practice I can get it close to 100% but it depends on the temperature of the wax when applied and the temperature when pulled. It's a trial and error. I apply it pretty warm almost hot, and then I don't let it get completely dry because it's harder for me to pull off for some reason. I pull it when it's still a tiny bit warm. I've bought this three times so far.
