Smooth sailing

So far so good! This tool is pretty easy to use and not harsh on my skin which is a super bonus. Used this on my legs four times so far and the hair is fading away. My legs feel smooth like butter and I love this new Venus IPL!

Awesome product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this is a great product. At first it did hurt (there was fair warming on the packaging) but I did get used to it after a few tries. I did have to lower the setting to a more gentle setting. All in all the product is easy and fast to use with smooth results.

Great product just not for me
on October 5, 2016
Posted by: lysnchris119

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first received this product I was a little nervous that it would hurt when using it. The first time I used it was painful. I switched to the sensitive skin setting and although it felt slightly better it still was uncomfortable. I'm not sure if I will continue with the treatments because of this.
I did notice that it helped with the finer hair on my upper thighs but not so much in areas where my hair is coarse. The hair took longer to grow back than when I shave and seemed even finer than before on my upper thighs. In areas like my underarms, where my hair is coarser it didn't work as well. I found that my hair didn't grow in as quickly as shaving but it still grew in just as dark and coarse as before. I can quickly shave my underarms so honestly I'd rather just do that than have to get the Gillette Venus Silk-expert and spend more time with it.
Was I thrilled with the product? Not really since it definitely bothered me to use it. Would I recommend this product? Yes, if someone is looking for a way to reduce hair growth then I would definitely recommend it. It works well if you have the pain tolerance for it.
*I received this product for free from Braun in exchange for my honest opinion.

Venus silk expert review
on August 8, 2016
Posted by: dinadimaggi
from New York, NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried out my new Venus silk expert today. Since it is summer and I need to shave every 2 days, I was excited to try this product out that promises to reduce hair growth. I found the instruction booklet included a bit confusing and would have preferred a simpler instruction booklet, but the buzz agent page for the product had instructions that were very easy. I was intimated to use it, so I started in gentle mode . So far it was super easy to use on my legs and only took a few minutes. Since it was so simple and pain free I definitely think I can keep it up to see results!

Showing Amazing Results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I love the product that I received from Braun for my honest opinion. The product worked great on my coarse, dark hair that I have as a result of PCOS. The product was sturdy and had a little weight to it, which made me feel more confident when I was using it. It is very easy to use and the cord is long enough to reach those areas that are typically harder to get to. I would have liked for it to have been more useful on my neck/face area, as well as the bikini area. If it has been more useful in those areas I would have given it the full 5 stars. I have seen some great results overall and cannot wait to see what the next 4 weeks has to offer. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants to get rid of unwanted hair! Keep it up, Braun!

Easy to use and effective Home Laser
on September 28, 2016

from Atlanta, GA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Gillette® Venus® Silk-expert to try by Braun.
At first I was skeptical of an at home laser. I did not need to worry at all with the Gillette® Venus® Silk-expert. The manual was easy to follow. I first removed the hair with my Gillette® Venus® razor. I then did my skin tone test. Since it is summer I decided to use it under my armpit which has dark hair against white skin. There was No pain and providing the treatment was easy. It took less than 10 min to apply to both of arms. The proof is in the picture below. While I still have some hair growth it is minor. The hair is lighter and thinner. It is a much improved state and I know within a few months I will have little to no visible hair.

Excellent at hair removal!

from Spring Hill, FL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this product! I had gone to laser hair removal treatments about 6 years ago. Those treatments were expensive, and they hurt my skin.
I'm seeing results with Braun's Venus Silk-expert, that is similar to my professional laser hair removal results.
It's so exciting that Braun has made an affective laser hair removal methods, that is less expensive and less painful than it's rivals.
I use this product once a week on my arm, both legs, both arms pits, and my chin area. I'm only doing one arm with the Braun Silk-expert, so that I can continue to compare my results to the arm that I am not treating.
When I went to the professional laser hair appointments, my skin was always very red after being treated. I've had no issues with irritation with the Venus Silk-expert!
So far I'm seeing great results and I'm so pleased!

So nervous about the Silk expert but turned out okay!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so nervous to use the Silk expert because I had no idea what to expect as far as pain. It was easy to set up though and directions were simple enough to follow. I shaved, took a deep breath, and turned it on. I tried it on my legs first because I figured that was a less sensitive area than arm pits, bikini area, etc. There was a little sting at first but then it felt fine. It was super easy to use. I am glad I started with my legs and it was easy to get the full surface area. Just have to set some time aside for it. Worth it in the long run I'm hoping. I've only used it for 3 weeks but so far I'm noticing a little less hair on my legs. I think I'm going to finish out my legs before moving to my arm pits just because of the time.
Thanks Braun for letting me try this out!
