This ad has all the hallmarks of a scam. Notice the money back guarantee ends with the caveat of "Terms & Conditions Apply", which in my experience means, "Just Try To Get Your Money Back From Us. Once We Have Your Money, We Never Give It Back, SUCKER!"
Having said that, they don't tell you what this "secret special powder is made of" however, I can tell you this much, anything that could be rubbed on the skin and destroy the hairs, would obliterate the skin the hairs are in, because skin is a weaker formation of what hair is made of, just as finger nails and toe nails are a stronger formation of what hair is made.
If you want to buy it, and try it, and tell us how frustrated you are by it not working, and how they give you the run around about giving you your money back, please do, just document the whole experience here so others can be made aware and save their money.

I'm actually looking for a review from someone who tried them. I had checked the full guarantee terms & conditions on the site itself.
Thanks anyway =P

Okay. We've done all we can for now. Hope someone else can do a better job convincing you that this is an example of wasteful spending if you so choose to give it a go, Austrina.

Hello, we received an email from a customer regarding this forum calling it a scam yesterday. It is unfair for u guys to say that while u have never actually tried our product. Full terms & conditions is clearly posted on our site outlining all the guarantee conditions. We do not conceal it or hide it to scam ignorant buyers. We are not doing a short term business, we will not run away after a few months. WE ARE HERE TO STAY Of course due to the nature of our easy warranty, we are susceptible to false claim. We will not sell more powders once guarantee is claimed. We also limits the quantity purchased for first time buyers. This is how we protect ourselves from false claims as there might be pple who are out there just to get their money back! Powder's ingredient cant be disclosed as it is a trade secret(obviously). However it is registered in Indonesian Health Department. It WILL NOT gives u instant result, not even laser/electrolysis gives u instant result! Not even laser/electrolysis GUARANTEE results. The powder is not HARSH chemical and it WILL NOT burn your skin. It will not remove hair at 1 go! They are SAFE for the skin and can be used daily like a normal powder. We had just received 1 testimonial from one of our Australian buyer. A screenshot of the actual email is available on our site. http://www.puff-it-now.com/testimonial.htmlWE LEGALLY STANDS BY ITS AUTHENTICITY, THEY ARE WRITTEN BY REAL CUSTOMERS WHO ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE PRODUCT. NO AFFILIATIONS TO PUFF-IT WHATSOEVER. WE CAN LEGALLY PROVE THAT SHOULD ANY LEGAL DISPUTE ARISEWe DO NOT fill our page with "questionable" testimonials with photos and 'customers' names like our competitors. Think abt it, will u let the world know u had an embarassing hairy problem? I wont, at least NOT FOR FREE...! We DO NOT ask pple who we tested the powder on to write the testimonials, though we will be able to build our reputation real fast with that! We will slowly build our reputation to GUARANTEE AUTHENTICITY OF ALL THE TESTIMONIALS ON OUR SITE from people who actually PAID AND USED our Puff-IT Miracle Powder. If you said it is a scam, pls try them first before telling the whole world it is a scam. I am sure some of you might be hair removal experts with all sorts of hair removal knowledge/theories compared to us in Indonesia. But we know, our powder works! Unlike all the scams originating from various parts of the globe

Are you for real? Anyone representing a company no matter how big or how small, selling whatever product, would not be so unprofessional as to spell the word "you" as "u" or "people" as "pple" or "about" as "abbt". The casualness of such writing suggests that this product may be concocted in someone's kitchen. Just trying to give you an objective first impression when I read this post.
Can I help you out here a bit more?
Speaking of unfair, if you are so convinced about your puff product actually working, then send the moderators of this forum the product for free and let them personally try it, so they are convinced, too. Then, they can report back to all the hairtell consumers who have come to trust them over the years.
I don't believe testimonials, as a rule, because anybody can say anything and they frequently do! A helpful suggestion for you: It would be in your interest to persuade the discrimminating public in other ways such as, providing authentic clinical studies based on the scientific method that were used to study this product. There should be peer-reviewed writings, by authentic scientists, confirming that this product works. "Authentic scientists" comes with a whole new set of questions about credentials. UGH. You just need to persuade people better than you have. Second helpful hint: Provide an ingredients list. Don't you think that would really be helpful for building your reputation? Saying it's a "trade secret" sounds untrustworthy, sleazy and dark.
No one has to be fair about this product you promote just because you point out that the counter statements made above are unfair. It's a tough world, you know. Consumers are tired of being ripped off and weary of being promised outcomes that defy science. Just because someone pleads convincingly so that their miracle powder is the key to happiness in regard to hair removal, doesn't make it so. YOUneed to do the hard work of providing more evidence. Posting that mere testimonials can be backed up legally is not that comforting.
We don't like spam here as you have discovered. We caution consumers about products such as yours for the above mentioned reasons, while fully stressing that they have freedom of choice to purchase and investigate such products if they so desire. We also then encourage them to report back and share all details in an effort to spread the good word (or the crooked word) to others.
You need to provide more than words of guarantee lingo to those with suspicious and discerning eyes. Consumers are getting smarter these days, so you need to provide more information than you did to win them over to buy your product. Copy and paste the Indonesian Health Department information on miracle powder. Post ingredients so people know what they are putting on their skin. Post clinical trials and studies. These efforts would be more helpful. This is as much about saftey as it is effectiveness.

You know what I love? Coincidences! Let me tell you about one I just found. I Googled the phone # on that site. It gave me a site with contact information for Puff-IT Inc. http://www.alibaba.com/company/100247059/contactinfo.html So on this page is the name of the contact person, Ms. Santy Lestari. So, of course, I Googled "Santy Lestari." And guess what? The 2nd and 3rd results are sites that Ms. Santy Lestari's user name is...drum roll please...Austrina! The same as the original poster of this thread. http://www.wayn.com/waynprofile.html?member_key=7159873http://digg.com/users/Austrina What are the odds that the contact person (I suspect she is the owner), Santy Lestari, of Puff-It and the inquisitive consumer who originated this thread would choose the same user name? Like I said, I LOVE coincidences! And I love Google! I'm so sorry if this is this coincidence is unfair...but, it is what it is.

Goodness gracious! We have such smart contributors here. Good job Detectives Cirke and Choice on uncovering an el fake-o.
Why did I waste my time on writing such a long post last night on this puffy piece?
