Ok, it does much the same thing tend skin does with the same methodology. It has a mild acidic action that sloughs off the top layer of skin, and what small amount that gets into the follicle enlarges the opening, while stiffening the hair. Thus the hair tends to pop out.
This would not straighten a truely curly follicle, but it would tend to make the experience of ingrown hairs less likely, and that is all they need to get away with making such a statement in their advertising. After all, anything that is a cosmetic has only the legal requirement of making people feel better.

James,
I kinda dont agree with you...Its not just like Tend Skin...For instance it doesnt have these WARNINGS on the packaging:
Warnings & Precautions:
Anyone having Dermabrasion or, Microdermabrasions treatments must not use Tend Skin in the same area no sooner than one month after last treatment.
The Tend Skin products has exfoliating properties and may cause excessive exfoliation resulting in a burning, discoloration's or pigmentation abnormalities, if over applied or used incorrectly.
Do not use Tend Skin along with any other products containing the followings:
alpha-Hydroxy Glycolic Acid's or Peel's Citrus based washes, abrasive scrub's or moisturizers Retin-A or topical acne products Loofa sponges Benzol Peroxide Alcohol If with true allergies to Aspirin, do a test in the inner twist, wait 24 hours before use.
If pregnant or nursing, seek advice of your health care professional before use.
Keep out of reach of children.
And i've used both and Prince Reigns is clearly better (and without the warnings).

It still works by pealing the skin with an acidic reaction. The Tend Skin has all those warnings because it uses acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) as its active ingredient. "PR" uses glocolic acids and fruit acids. If you don't think they COULD put warnings on this product, but chose not to, just try putting lemon juice on your face, and then going outside on a sunny day.

James, you seem very knowledgeable and I would really appreciate your advice or anyone else who could have an opinion.
I've been having this ingrows all over my legs for a while and it gets to a point where is completely ridiculous that I can't go to the beach or wear skirt. Anyway I finally went to a dermatologist which I didn't find very useful. He told me that my only solution would be Laser Hair Removal and in the meanwhile told me to use NeoStrata Toning Solution Acne Care. My question is if this is a acne product can it still help with ingrows? It's also pretty expensive it's about $45 for 1 month. I'm desperate!! Any opinion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
