Definitely worth the purchase
on August 12, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This epilator is excellent. It gives me silky smooth skin every time. It is worth every penny and I would definitely recommend it. The battery life is also great. It is easy to carry and does not make a lot of noise. It is also almost painless.

It hurts, powder helps

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off this thing hurts!!! But it gets the job done! Batter life is okay! It’s a little noise ! It’s precise and versatile. And easy to clean. I had to shave then follow up with the epilator so the pain could be tolerable.
Response from influenster.comBy Customer Care, August 19, 2024
Thanks for your thorough review, rona12! We're very sorry to learn about the painful epilating experience you had. Safety is our top priority, and all our epilators are thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. However, based on what you've shared, we recommend discontinuing further use of this epilator and ask that you give us a call at (800) 272-8611. We hope to gather a little more information on your device and be able to help you! Going forward, here are some suggestions to get the best results:
> Make sure to stretch and tighten the skin.
> Hold epilator at a 90 degree angle to skin.
> Use a massage attachment, if available.
> Make sure the attachment is clicked on correctly – the two triangle symbols on device and attachment must be on top of each other.
> Try not to apply too much pressure when epilating.
> Epilate either on completely dry or on wet skin (so that there's little friction between the skin and the epilator). Slightly damp skin could cause more friction when epilating, which could then lead to skin pinching.

It’s going to take some getting used to!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This electric shaver is pretty intense. The first point of contact I had wasn’t pleasant at all, I thought it was tearing up my skin, when actually it was mimicking waxing! My underarms are too sensitive to try the waxing motion, but using the second head provided did a close enough job. I think if I can build up the tolerance this device will do wonders. My husband was more willing to be the Guinea pig and in the video I posted it shows just how well this works! His skin was sooo smooth from where he shaved. Another interesting thing is if you put this to your skin that has n hair, it doesn’t hurt at all. The battery life is great so far and it’s comfortable to hold. I like that this is a wet/dry device too.

Intimidating but works!
on August 29, 2024
Posted by: rachels377
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to try this product out through influenster because I’ve never tried an epilator type shaver before! It’s basically an electric tweezers and to be honest, it’s quite intimidating and does hurt a bit. My first time I was so shocked at how badly it hurt! I’ve gotten waxed and tweezed countless amount of times but it’s no match to the epilator head that rolls across your skin and rips multiple hairs out by the root at once. I’ve tried it on wet skin, dry, gentle mode, and it all hurts, almost feels like little electric shocks on your skin. But, it really works, and leaves your skin smooth for longer if you can get through the pain. I want to try and continue to use it because it says in the manual that it’ll hurt less the more often you use it and in return will be smoother for longer. Similar to waxing I imagine. However, this product also comes with a shaver foil unit head, and that one works beautifully without any pain. It doesn’t rip the hair out from the root, but it does provide a close shave. It’s great around bikini area. Overall, I do recommend this shaver if you have a high pain tolerance and do not have sensitive skin.

What I Like:
• Flexible Head: It moves with my body, making it easy to use on tricky areas like knees and underarms.
• Micro-Grip Technology: It grabs even the smallest hairs, leaving my skin smooth for weeks.
• Wet & Dry Use: I can use it in the shower, which makes the whole process more comfortable.
• SensoSmart: This feature helps me avoid pressing too hard, reducing irritation.
• Micro-Grip Technology: It grabs even the smallest hairs, leaving my skin smooth for weeks.

• SensoSmart: This feature helps me avoid pressing too hard, reducing irritation.
A Few Downsides:
• Initial Pain: The first few uses were a bit uncomfortable, but I got used to it.
• Battery Life: It could last longer for full-body sessions.
• Battery Life: It could last longer for full-body sessions.
Overall:
Despite a few minor issues, I’m really happy with this epilator. It’s effective, easy to use, and worth the investment

Underwhelmed
on September 5, 2024
Posted by: daleydisney
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My initial experience was a bit underwhelming. The directions could have been more precise, especially for a first time user. I used it while wet and didn’t feel like it worked well at all, but it could be operator error. Willing to give it another shot.

Good quality
on October 12, 2024
Posted by: uhhpeh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a great product the battery lasts a pretty long time and the light helps with precision. There is a small learning curve but overall the versatility of having a trimmer and epilator in one is worth it.
