Spa-licious

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the Gillette Venus Silk - is a great product. I was excited to be able to try it out- since the price of the actual product can be a little high. After using the product- I see its value. I had to go the nail spa waxing area less- so that saved money. The apparatus is a tad heavy, but I have small hands- and still made it work. My friend who owns a Make-Up studio in CLT and I Bzz'd to her about this product and she is looking into carrying it at her store front. So all in all- a successful experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to have to shave my armpits at least twice a week, since using this tool I barely have to shave once every two weeks! And I have only used the Silk-expert five times! I am so excited need to focus on my legs now more!

Amazing Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I've been using this for 3 weeks now and I have definitely noticed a difference in the way the hair on my leg grows back. It's very light and fewer each week grow back! I'm so thrilled to have received this product

Reduction of hair!
on April 5, 2017
Posted by: Cjohnson719
from Canton, MI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Venus Silk-expert IPL is so easy to use. I am able to complete both legs and underarms in under 15 min. For reduction in hair, 15 min a week is no big deal. After 5 weeks of using the product I have noticed a significant reduction in the amount of hair on my legs and underarms. I don't feel like I need to shave as often as I did before using the product. I am confident that if I continue to use Venus Silk-expert IPL, I will see ever more reduction in the amount of hair. With summer coming I'm excited about the idea of fewer shaves!!!

Amazing hair removal!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very skeptical about the Venus Silk Expert. Somehow I kept thinking of the epilady I tried as a teen and still have nightmares about! At first I wasn't sure I was really doing anything because there was no pain or immediate results but after the 3 time I used it, I really started to notice the hair on my legs was much finer. By the fifth time, I really could see a difference and there was no hair left! Although the process takes time, only having to do it so infrequently more than makes up for it.
I the summer I run a day camp so I'm in a bathing suit everyday. In years past, I have had to shave every morning which is a pain and often get razor irritation. This summer Venus Silk Expert will be a game changer! My athletic daughter was so impressed with my results, she started using it too!

Very easy to use, but it hurt

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried it out after shaving this morning. The setup was super easy. Basically, you take everything out of the box, plug in a power cord to the power adapter, plug the cord into the device, and then plug in the now connected cord and device into an outlet. It is super easy. Anyway, I decided to do my arm pit first. Everything was clean, dry, and freshly shaven. It lit up all the way to the top of the sensor because my skin is pretty light. Once it lights up, you push the button for it to go. It is fool proof. You aren't supposed to look at the light really, so I looked away. I wasn't expecting it would hurt because in watching other reviews they weren't acting like it would. Well, it kind of hurt. It felt like someone pinched me. Not super pleasant, but I guess "no pain, no gain". I tried it on my husband and he said it didn't hurt, but his skin is a little darker than mine, so it doesn't use as much power for darker skin.
I decided to give it another try on my lower leg. It hurt again. I tried the feather setting, which is a button you can push right below the activate button, to have it be more gentle. It turns a light on and then you can push the activate button as usual. It was more gentle. I don't know if it will be as effective, but it feels at least a little more pleasant. I hope either I will get used to it at the regular setting, or the feather setting will continue to work for me, so I am grateful for this setting being available.
Overall, it was super easy to take out of the package, connect the 2 cords, plug into an outlet (so you don't have to worry about running out of batter power), and push the button to use.
I received this product for free from Braun for my honest review.

Gillette Venus Silk-expert
on March 2, 2017
Posted by: Licha19
from West Long Branch, NJ
I am experienced in all methods of hair removal: waxing, threading, tweezing, epilator, professional laser treatments, shaving and now IPL.
Though some are painless, some can be downright torture (laser on bikini area, epilator anywhere!) This machine is relatively pain free on my legs. Some might feel a slight burn, but I think it depends on their level of experience with other methods. I am sure other areas, like underarms, or bikini line will be more sensitive. If this really does produce lasting results, it is definitely worth the price because it is so easy to use and does not hurt. I have used Tria in the past and this is far better because the treatment window is much larger, making it easer to cover more area faster. My skin is fair with dark hair so I am an ideal candidate for this product. I have seen my hair regrowth is thinner and more sparse. So far this gets my 5 stars for being easy, painless, and it works!

So far, so good...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only used the product a few times now, but it seems to be working. I've done my legs and underarm and have noticed that the size of the hair seems to be finer than it was previously. It doesn't hurt, but does feel very warm when the laser beam flashes. It's a bit hard to get enough contact around the ankle and behind the knee to get it to fire. The cord is long enough to reach well, but does get in the way a bit. I'll be able to provide more recommendation after I try it for a longer period of time.
