SoftSheen-Carson Magic Razorless Shaving for Men, Magic Skin Conditioning Shaving Powder, with Vitamin E and Aloe, formulated for Black Men, Depilatory, Helps Stop Razor Bumps, 4.5 oz

This stuff works by literally melting your hair off (it'll do it to your fingernails, too so don't leave it sitting on your nails). It's difficult to mix until you get the hang of it (pack it to the side of your salsa bowl or whatever you're using and then force the water into it with your finger) but get it into a nice paste, put it on any body part you want, find out the time to leave it on that works best for you (The directions say 5-7 minutes, but I have to leave it on for 8-10 minutes, because I have abnormally strong hairs. I can't even shave with a normal razor, I have to use the Schick Hydro 5 Power Select to be able to shave properly. I also wear out razors way way faster than is normal, and yes I use shaving cream and take care of the razors.), make sure it doesn't dry out (it needs to stay somewhat slippery) and then scrub off in the shower with a plastic loofa and it will leave your skin smoother than my ass when I was born, according to an authority on the subject (LOL). Hydrates your skin phenomenally well and removes any dead or dry skin that may be giving you trouble. I have used this once on my legs, fingers and groin after shaving my body regularly for about a year now, and it was much, MUCH less damaging to my skin, and even rejuvenated my dry and damaged skin as mentioned previously. My only issue with this product, as you may guess from my title, was when I decided to use this on my groin, as it had done such wonders for my legs. Let's just say I'm glad I also recently purchased a 13oz tub of vaseline because hoo BOY did this stuff burn the hell out of my balls. It actually might blister is how bad it is, and left a visible burn. It only burned the very front of my ballsack, and was fine everywhere else, but my skin right there was just too sensitive for this stuff. Perhaps others could get away with using this there, as I have pretty sensitive skin, but here's your warning regardless. Good: -Very close shave, resulting in exceptionally smooth skin. -Rejuvenates skin exceptionally well. Bad: -Difficult to mix until proper technique is learned. -Must be kept moist at all times. It'll be a hassle to some of the people who wish to use this on their body, instead of their face. I recommend doing this in your shower, standing outside of the water so the air is very humid, and you may daub a small amount of water onto wherever is necessary. -Will take hair off of ANY body part, so you have to be careful not to get it where you don't want it. -Will probably damage some people's skin if used too often, as it literally melts your hair. -BURNS THE HELL OUT OF YOUR BALLSACK.

I, like most of us, saw this product on TikTok by a user that swore by this product. I decided to buy it and give it a try to see for myself if it was all that she had cracked it up to be. I read all of the reviews before purchasing, and decided to take all of the negative reviews with a grain of salt. I let my leg hair, armpit hair, and pubic hair grow out to about an 1/8” before trying. (had to do a triple whammy, all or nothing right?) WELL. I honestly give this product an 8.5/10. A lot of reviews I saw had complaints about mixing and the smell, I will admit that the powder does take a while to actually mix into the water, but if you follow the instructions it really isn’t that hard to get the correct consistency. I did this in a bathroom with an open window because the girl on TikTok recommended to do it in a well ventilated place due to the smell. The smell really isn’t that bad. It has a subtle chemical aroma, but NOTHING compared to Nair. It’s truly very subtle and not very bothersome. As for the consistency, it’s creamy and honestly pretty easy to apply. It goes on like lotion in a sense, but I did notice that you have to apply it kind of thick to reduce the dry-out of the product as it is sitting on your skin. I am fair in complexion with fairly irritable skin, and I have eczema. I left the product on my legs for the recommended time because my leg hair is finer in texture, and it’s blonde. For my underarms and pubic area, I caked the product on a little thicker and left it on longer because the hair is more coarse. The only thing I really disliked about the product is that it gets flaky as it dries, and it has a bit of a messy application. I used a damp washcloth to wipe the product off, as directed, and it was a little streaky coming off. However, the hair definitely came off with it. I ended up spraying myself off in the shower after fully wiping the product off of my skin to make sure there wasn’t any residue left behind. Let me just tell you how SOFT my skin was after drying off. The aloe and vitamin E do WONDERS for dry skin. My skin felt more moisturized and soft after use than it did before, and that’s saying a lot coming from someone with eczema. I would say overall that 98% of the hair was actually removed, and the 2% left over was in the areas with coarser hair. For the cost of the product, it is absolutely something that I will continue to buy and use. No razor burn, no chemical burn, a literal Brazilian wax in a can. I am happy with the results.

Unlike other reviewers, I did not discover this product on TikTok. I was seeking out something to give my razor a break - other than the entire winter break that it has had! In other words, I was seeking to remove a good amount of growth without having to resort to stinky Nair or having to have painful waxing/sugaring done. The Mixing Process: I mixed a few shakes of this with WAY too much water, so it took a LOT of adding in more powder in order to get a not-drippy consistency. If you've ever folded cinnamon into a recipe, you know how it is hard to get incorporated because it is so powdery - that's how mixing this seemed to be. I could have added more powder at the end, but I didn't because I was sick of stirring this. The Testing Sites: underarms and lower legs. The Application Process: the product was too drippy (my fault?) to easily apply; I wore a sports bra and shorts. Got a good amount dripped onto the sports bra. For the legs, I just sat on the tub's edge; still managed to get a lot of the mixture in the tub. I used a cosmetic spatula to apply, which made it easier. Results: I was able to easily wipe off the underarm areas with a damp microfiber cloth after just five minutes - all hair was removed. For the leg area, I left the mixture on for six minutes - but I should have left it on for another minute because it didn't fully remove the hair in the areas that I had applied it amply. Absolutely ZERO stinging, no irritation, and no smell - amazing! Thoughts: 1. In the future, I'd use an old 'blender bottle' with a wire 'blender ball' to mix this up. I'd add some powder first and THEN add the water (reversing the way I did it initially). I think it'd be easier to mix up and would result in a thicker consistency that would be easier to spread/apply. 2. Since I had trouble evenly applying this to my legs, I would enlist a friend's help in the future - I'd imagine that the upper/back portion of the legs would be hard to ensure even coverage, not to mention more sensitive areas. 3. In the future, I'd leave this on my legs for the full 7 minutes.

I have mixed feelings on this product, it smells really bad but the smell doesnt linger in the house just make sure your in a well venilated area while applying! Make sure you mix it and make it THICK otherwise it will not take off any hair, I made the mistake of mixing it and it was very thin and watery and I applied it on my armpits, waited 7 mintutes wiped it off and nothing came off so I made the paste thicker and applied to my legs and it took off most the hairs with the exception of a patch by my shin idk why. I decided to go back in and do the armpits even though it says to wait before reapplying im a bit of a rebel so I didnt listen and let me tell you it removed my hair but my armpits burned for a whole day afterwards and were slightly red, so do NOT reapply right away if it doesnt work the first time! Lastly I decided to do my lady bits which I was pretty confident in doing so I made sure I didnt get too carried away kept it in the proper areas, even did my booty hole cause why not lol anyways I have sensitive skin especially the inner thigh like in the pubic region which I found out was not a good idea to apply there because it burnt my skin and I had a burn for a good two days. Overall I bought this product because I dont like shaving and read that this keeps you smooth longer than if you were to shave but that wasnt the case for me, literally I was starting to get pokey little cactus fuzz back the next day! So really the effort and time it takes to do this just isnt worth it to me personally but its worth a try maybe it'll work better for you?

So like every lady I’m constantly on a quest to be hairless everywhere but eyebrows, lashes, and head of course. Ya know gotta conform to those societal beauty standards and what not. I’ve tried basically everything, basic shaving (which works okay but tedious, leaves bumps), Nair (burns), waxing (too painful to do yourself), and sugaring (same thing as waxing fr). Because of all the failures I WAS gonna try out nair for sensitive skin. I was looking at those reviews it mentioned that this stuff was better? So I looked into it a bit and was told for the “sensitive areas” this particular magic stuff was the best option because of the aloe and such. Plus I have sensitive skin anyways and didn’t really want to risk a chemical burn with the extra strength one, despite the fear of it not being strong enough. After trying it I was very surprised. After putting it EVERYWHERE including the 🐱 it didn’t burn and it worked! However although the skin is smooth as hell, it’s not PERFECT it will leave a few hairs randomly but really not much so it’s not typically patchy per say but I like to do tiny touching up with a razor after wards (which won’t burn you). After you do the whole process it’s like a Brazilian wax with no pain. So to me is it worth it? Hell yes. The scent is about as bad as Nair’s and still takes time, but the pros outweigh these cons. Just please follow the instructions! Make sure to do a patch test as well before impulsively slapping it all over! I know it’s tempting but it could save a lot of problems.

I got this product with the hopes it would be able to successfully remove my C4 hair without causing any ingrown hairs or razor bumps. After trying shaving with a single blade, using a trimmer, and this product...nothing works. It removes hair well but I had to use a quick second application on thicker parts of my beard. DO NOT put on a second application for the same amount of time as the first one! I had my second application for half of the originally designated time. The complaints about it damaging sensitive skin seem to come from mostly white people, so their skin may be more sensitive than mine. The product tells you to try it on a small part of your body and wait 24 hours before slapping it directly on your face. I personally did not experience any blisters, welts, or reddening of the skin(although it would be harder to tell because of my complexion) that they are describing. After applying this on my face, I used a skin cream/lotion on my face which caused a stinging sensation. This sensation went away after a few days, I'm assuming my skin had healed by then. After a week, my hair grew back and I started to get a lot of ingrown hairs. I spent a TON of time tweezing each one out. Additionally, my skin started to itch from razor bumps but I had a separate cream that stopped that issue. Would I buy it again? No. Will I use it again? HELL NO. I WOULD NOT recommend this product for anyone who has coarse and curly hair, such as myself.

I was recommended to this product via the TikTok craze, but I took the recommendation with a grain of salt. I was willing to try anything to deforest my legs after a cold winter, as I doubt a razor would have been able to handle it all. Nevertheless, I was quite impressed and pleased with the results. There was no stinging sensation or itchiness, everything wiped off clean in the shower after sitting for about 10 minutes. Legs are very smooth, and 48 hrs later, there is no razor burn or irritation. Should I ever need to do some serious deforesting, (roughly 3 generous TBs of powder per leg) I will used this again. It is time consuming to mix the paste, but the smell is much better than nair. For us ladies, I would recommend (the silver can only) the powder for those prone to razor burn, and I highly recommend for facial hair

I love this product it keeps my skin baby smooth and super soft there’s no irritation or bad smell
