kx3mommie....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was thoroughly excited to try this product as I have tried other methods of hair removal in the past. I prepped the area as directed on my lower leg. Thank goodness I only used this area because I could not tolerate the burning smell of hair and the "stinging" that came along with each flash of light. The pain wasn't so bad, it felt like someone was hitting the area w/a rubber band. For me it was more of the anticipation of the stinging that bothered me as well as the hair burning smell. I kept it up for 4 weeks though in the same area on my lower leg and the results were pretty good. No real hair growth was noticed in that area compared to the rest of my leg. But the stinging and burning hair smell with each use was more than I could tolerate. As for long term use of this product, I don't think I could apply it to other more sensitive areas such as underarms or bikini area due to the stinging sensation. Hence I have it 3 stars for the reason of slight pain & burning hair smell. Pluses for this product are ease of use and results. Minuses were discomfort and smell. t's a great product with great features and I'm glad to read that it worked out well for others. . It just wasn't a fit for me.

Amazing hair removal system
on April 19, 2017

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been wanting to get myself a portable, personal, hair removal system but the steep price and the thought that it might not work made me put off my decision to actuall buy one. Luckily, I was chosen by BzzAgent to try this amazing device and I'm totally in love with this product.
First week. I started to use this on my underarms first and bikini line. So on the first try, the pulses felt a bit painful but only for seconds. I could smell burning hair. Each pulse felt like jolts of fire on the skin.

2nd week. I already noticed a significant thinnning of hair, about 20%. Happy with the results. The pulses still felt painful but like I said, only for seconds, like 3 secs.
3rd week. Amazingly, about I noticed only about 50% of hair growth. I'm getting used to the pulses and don't feel like burns anymore, just some strong stinging sensation.
4th week. Wow, just wow! Very obvious thinning of hair growth. I could only see about 1/3 hair growth! Pulses feel lighter. I'm enjoying all sessions now.
5th week. Very few hairs returned on my underarm. My Bikini area is 95% clear.
Overall, I'm so happy with Venus and I can definitely say it works. I can't wait to finish the complete 12 weeks of treatment! Thank you so much, BzzAgent and Gillette.

Absolutely Amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited when I received the Venus Silk-expert. I'll admit that I was a little skeptical at first on how well it was going to minimize my hair growing back.
My husband and I have been using this for the last 5 weeks and have been having amazing results. I have used it on my underarms and bikini area. The hair has grown back lighter in color and much more sparser. My husband has had even better results. He has been using it on his chest and stomach; with hardly any hair growing back. It is so easy to use and doesn't hurt. In some areas it's warm with a tiny snap of a rubber band feeling. We definitely will continue to use this and recommend it to anyone who is interested in permanent hair removal.

Still working to expectation

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second review and I am still satisfied. I've been using this IPL for some weeks now and the results are not over night but very effective. I'd say for the most part if you keep sticking with it you will get the desired results. The pain is sharp and quick if I were to suggest something it would be to shorten the learning curve in using this tool for reducing hair.

Here we go!

After a few weeks the epic battle or Venus Silk-expert and my leg hair... is still being won by my leg hair. But I think I am beginning to see progress. After pages of warnings I wondered what i was getting into! But I am having no problem using the device and for once having pasty white skin and wiry dark hair is playing to my advantage!

New year, New ME thanks to Braun Silk Expert Pro 5

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy with the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5! It comes in a convenient carrying case, easy to read and understand instructions, and it is easy to use! I have always suffered from the humiliation of having dark, thick facial hair, as well as everywhere else on my body. I have tried so many hair removal remedies or treatments, with no true results. I am now on my 2nd treatment with the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 and I already noticed a difference! I usually have to shave or remove my facial hair daily, but I already see less hair growth. I am so excited and thankful for this product! I could never afford the amount of treatments to get this done professionally, and this product lasts long enough to do several treatments for basically anywhere on my body. I will have a new found confidence thanks to Braun. No more worrying about spending the night somewhere and waking up with stubble or always having to hide my face or feel so low about myself due to my dark body hair. I am so thankful and I think anyone that buys this product will feel the same!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic hait removal system! This safe, fast, and effective hair removal system is excellent for permanent reduction in hair regrowth. The Braun silk expert PRO 5 is clinically tested and FDA cleared. My favorite part of this product is the automatic, and continuous skin sensor. This product is perfect for my sensitive skin. Definitely add this product to your beauty list.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried Braun Silk Expert Pro 5 PL5137 IPL. I have been using it for a week now. The hair on my hair is a lot thinner looking. I usually have thick coarse dark hair on my arms . I hate it but with Braun Silk my arms look and feel prettier and less furry. I am so happy I love my Braun Silk. I have recommended this to all my female friends.
