I would say this is a scam product.

Can you imagine asking a consumer to purchase an herbal cream for $46.00, rub it on their skin after they tweeze or wax and expect permanent hair removal? They even have the nerve to imply that it works even better and faster with laser or electrolysis! Could they be making that claim because laser and electrolysis are responsible for permanent hair removal results as oppossed to their useless cream?

They sell this product worldwide. I think there is no evidence-based documentation to back this up on their website. Why isn't it there?

I'll end this with the the smart consumer's battle cry,

"QUACK!, QUACK!"

Oh good grief!

I just had to stop reading that web site!

I don't make a habit of saying this, but, I have a high IQ, and in order to make it through that full web page, someone like me has to leave their brain at the door! It is like watching a really bad action adventure picture. You know the kind, where the guy takes a run and jumps across a hallway shoots 100 delta force milatary men dead, and lands on the other side of the room, safe and unharmed, except perhaps a small cut from falling glass. Oh, but his hair is not mussed up at all.

There are so many problems with what is said on that site that I can only say, "If anyone buys this stuff, it would be best used on toast, in place of jam.

DONT EVER USE IT. i live in turkey and there is a product called Bioder, which has the same symbol, same claims, same everything. the only thing it does is to delay the growth of hair by lets say, 5-10 more days and THATS IT. the side effects... it screws up your skin that you might actually need a facelift after some months of its use. it clogs up the pores and creates acnes, whiteheads, that kind of nasty things. I never had a single acne on my face and thaks to this product, it got messed up. I am not even mentioning about the ingrown hair problems it causes too. If anyone says that it is effective, then he is lying dont believe him. ( i used it for about a year so I know)

I forgot to mention something though, IF you have very light hair like peach fuzz, it might remove lets say %5-10 percent of it. I have hair even on my forehead. it is light and extremely thin. It just made it thinner and maybe removed some of it but it didnt do anything on thick hairs or even on normal looking hairs. so it is safeto say that it is not effective.

What are you looking to remove/achieve Elena? What are you doing now to remove the hair? Are you shaving? What razor are you using?
