I emailed Boots after seeing your post last week & at first all they said was that they had spoken to their supplier & weren’t sure when it would be back in stock. I sent a reply pointing out how my question was actually about whether it had been discontinued & not asking when it would be back in stock, & also saying how disappointed I would be if it was true. I got a response from a different person confirming that it had been discontinued due to it not selling as well as expected.
I’m gutted this has happened as I too rely on it heavily, obviously me buying at least 1 pack a week wasn’t enough of a boost to sales!
I’ve tried Veet in the past but seem to remember it not being a pleasant experience! Jolen is a nightmare to prepare compared to the Boots version & I also find it breaks up on the skin very easily. Having said that I’ve had a bit of time on my hands this week & have found that mixing a some light moisturiser in with it helps improve the consistency, making it easier to prepare & apply. Also, I don’t think you need to use quite as much powder as stated in the directions if you’re prepared to leave it on for longer.
Let’s hope we see a new product on the market soon.
