Customer Review:

"This is a great epilator with a rechargeable battery and works for a long time on one charge. Using without the cord is liberating!

I absolutely recommend!" — Elaine

Hadley King, a New York City-based board-certified dermatologist, loves this epilator for its rounded design and ergonomic grip. It also has an extra cap that can be placed on the head for a more gentle application, making it a great option for the bikini area or sensitive areas.

Customer Review:

"This turned a 30-minute chore into a 5-minute breeze! And it does a better job than tweezers. I wish I had not waited so long. Love it!" — A. Reid

King says that you need to first let the hair grow out a little so that there's enough length to be picked up by the epilator. Then she recommends doing a gentle physical exfoliation. "Take a warm shower and use an exfoliating body scrub, gloves, mitt, loofah, or brush," she says. "This will help to expose hairs so they can be picked up the epilator and it also helps decrease the risk of ingrown hair."

Then you'll hold skin taut and move the epilator along the area to be treated. When finished, reach for a non-comedogenic moisturizer to soothe the skin.
