Alida Hair Remover Mitt (3 Mitts)

I bought something similar to this years ago and realised that they have limited use for hair removal but they are great for gently smoothing off dry skin. Recently, I have been struggling with some dry, scaly skin on my legs that scrubs or lotions were not shifting. I bought this product and I am delighted with how baby soft the skin on my legs now is. So soft that I don't need any more creams full of questionable ingredients. Will be buying loads more.

I have dark leg hair that seems to grow quite fast, meaning I usually need to shave every other day. My legs are very dry and scaly, moisturising alone does not do very much. I have been using these for a few weeks now and I am happy with the results. My legs are smoother, no longer scaly or overly dry. I would say they are fantastic for exfoliation. I don’t feel like I am spending ages using these, I would say about 5 minutes in total for both legs. Maybe a little longer when you add in the cool face cloth and moisturising after wards. I have extremely sensitive skin on my legs. Lots of hair removal methods leave my legs red, itchy and sore. There is a little sting after using these. It does not last long if you follow the aftercare results stated on the back of the packet. I am not left with any redness or itching. It says to use once a week. For me, this does not keep leg hair at bay. I need to shave once a week also to keep things right. Overall, I am impressed for the exfoliating alone. I will definitely purchase these again.

Really worked as expected. Used to purchase these from a mainstream high street brand that no longer sells them. This brand is equivalent quality and means my wax lasts longer and grows out more evenly without in-growing hair problem. Only draw back is long delivery time so plan ahead but worth the wait.

Good product, works - only downside depending on own skin type, can cause itchiness for a short while after but settles down

Very efficient! I used to buy Marks & Spencers' version and was happy with them: these are a lot more efficient and I understand how some people might hurt themselves if they are rubbing too enthusiastically. You need to be gentle, especially when they are brand new! Only increase the pressure if it feels confortable. Do not attempt to remove all the hair on the first day. Even those that have not come off at first, will be erradicated on the 2d or 3d day (or even whilst rubbing against your clothes, because they will have been greatly weakened). As well, make sure you start a new mitt on the legs and not on the arms... (as I did!...) I only use them on my legs and arms. On the first day, I worked the mitts for 1 or 2 mn per half-leg, even less on the arms. Afterwards, I use them a few seconds everyday as maintenance, or whenever the hair becomes noticable again and starts bothering me. Despite having dark/strong hair and, very pale/sensitive skin, I never have to wax or shave anymore. REGARDING INGROWN HAIR I used to suffer from very bad ingrown hair but I don't anymore. I moisturise after buffing, and use "Nad's Ingrown Solution" (when needed, not necessarily every day and not directly after buffing). I use the blue spray bottle (for men) as they don't do a spray for women anymore, only a gel which feels a bit sticky. This product has salicylic acid, which helps exfoliate dead skin cells, as well as glycerin, which moisturises the skin: I swear by this stuff! If I already had ingrown hair, I would not use the mitts to buff them off. I would encourage the hair to come out naturally by exfoliating with "Nad's Ingrown Solution". I would still use the mitts over the area, but gently, not applying any extra pressure. I now have hairfree, baby-soft legs and arms that only take a few seconds a day to maintain.

Great things.Removes hair painlessly and leaves the skin smooth and soft. Easily portable for holidays too.

Would give 0 if I could . Does not remove hair

I always want to find ways to reduce waste, especially plastic. These appear to be effectively cardboard based so i would imagine they would decompose. Much better than all of the waste that goes along with waxing, the plastic of razors or the chemicals of cream. Doesnt take long, is done on dry legs and only needs to be done gently for hairless and smooth legs! Takes about 5 minutes to do both legs completely. Also exfoliates like a dream! Ive had less luck with underarms, maybe because of the contour or angle but i will persist as it probably just takes practice.
