Has anyone used revitol hair removal cream

[Guest rowyn]

A month or two ago I came across a hair removal cream that's supposed to contain a growth inhibitor. It says that after repeated usage, a person can expect hair to not grow back anymore. Wanted to see if anyone has used this product or something similar. Thank you for any answers.

the reviews on Amazon suggest that it is a junk product, I would save your money.

These are the ingredients. I'm going to list what each ingredient actually does in braces {}

ALOE VERA {no proven medical use but claimed to sooth skin and speed healing}, GLYCERIN{keeps product from drying out and moisturizes skin}, CHAMOMILE EXTRACT{anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antisceptic, smells good}, WATER{don't think I need to explain this one}, CALCIUM HYDROXIDE{depilatory - found in most if not all hair removal creams}, CALCIUM THIOGLYCOLATE TRIHYDRATE{depilatory - found in most if not all hair removal creams}, ISOPROPYL PALMITATE{palm based moisturizer and thickener}, CETYL ALCOHOL{moisturizer and thickener}, PRO-VITAMIN ANTIOXIDENT COMPLEX (VITAMINS E AND A, PRO-VITAMIN E, VITAMIN K, GREEN TEA EXTRACT, HERBAL EXTRACTS){promotes healthy skin} FORESTAL{couldn't find much info, but it contains acetic acid and hydrochloric acid so it's probably used to regulate ph and/or prevent bacterial growth}, WILLOW BARK{analgesic aka aspirin}, BUTCHERBROOM EXTRACT{used to improve circulation, I have to assume this is to speed skin recovery}, HYDROCOTYL{mildly antibacterial/antiviral/anti-inflammatory - increases circulation and speeds healing}, HYDROLIZED MILK PROTEIN{skin conditioner}, CALENDULA OFFICINALIS{protects skin}, HYDROLYZED YEAST PROTEIN{"make skin care products more able to improve moisture content on skin, making skin smooth to touch, less prone to breakout and have eczema-like symptoms and many other skin conditions as a result of dryness and lack of moisture"}, HORSE CHESTNUT EXTRACT{constricts and protects blood vessels, anti-inflammatory}, LICORICE EXTRACT{antiviral, contains phytoestrogens}, PHENOXETHANOL{preservative, antibacterial}, FRAGRANCE (GREEN TEA EXTRACT){self explanatory}.

The ONLY possible source of their claim that it inhibits hair growth is the licorice because of the phytoestrogens, but I would NOT buy into that if I were you. I take high doses of medical grade estrogen DAILY, and it took a year just to SLOW hair growth. Using a skin product that contains minute amounts of a herbal hormone every 3 to 6 weeks is NOT going to have the effect you want it to, if any at all. I would save your money and take one of the proven options.

Thank you both for all the research you did. Guess I'll keep looking around.

As expensive as it is, the new Tria 4x looks very promising, and claims to have more than enough life in the diode to completely treat your body head to toe, and is safe to use on the face (though the effectiveness on "male" beard hair hadn't been mentioned, so I wouldn't bank on that). On the shopping channel initial release, it was between 400 and 500 dollars, I don't know if that's going to remain the price when it's released to the rest of the retail world or not, but I'm betting it will be a similar price. I want to get one myself.

Just did a little reading about the tria. One reviewer (who actually gave it a pretty good score) said it works on people with fair skin and very dark hair. Pretty much all of the finer hairs on my body are pretty light in color, which the tria wouldn't work on. For several months now, I've been plucking the hairs from my face and have removed over 90% of them (minus under the chin and jawline, but I'm working on that). What I've removed so far grows back very slow and rarely if ever needs to be shaved. I still need to tweeze those areas, but maintaining doesn't take too long. When the facial hair gets thinner, I'm thinking about epilating.

I use Veet on my legs (similar to Nair, but I get better results with Veet) every 8 weeks or so. Indifferent to growth inhibitors since my leg hair has thinned so much in the past few months.

[Guest rowyn]

I've only used veet on my legs once, and that was just before I started shaving them. Can't say I was completely pleased with the results, as I still felt a little stubble afterwards. I like the results I get from nair, but it has a very unpleasant smell, and I really don't care for how it feels on my skin. Have you ever used any type of growth inhibitor, Kylie?

I tried some (can't remember the name), but I don't notice any difference. Body/leg hair growth has really slowed and thinned, so I don't think I'd be able to give a valid report.

With Veet, I really get aggressive with a washcloth and it's only rough for a few hours before smoothing out.
