Smooth Away Pads Review #1

A while back, I saw an infomercial on TV showing this lady gently buff a pink pad on her legs and her hair magically went away. I was very curious but I didn't feel like ordering on the phone. I wasn't sure if it's another over-promising product and I didn't want to pay $7 for shipping and handling. They were selling these for $15, so $7 S&H is like half the price!

Anyway, today I was at my local Target and I saw the Smooth Away As Seen On TV product. I bought one pack for $9.99 + tax. It includes 1 travel case, 1 large applicator, 1 small applicator, 5 large flex-crystal replacement pads, and 5 small flex-crystal replacement pads. The travel case is nothing but a cheap plastic folder but it's nice for storage.

I tried it as soon as I got home. It wasn't as effortless as it looked on TV. I used the large pad on my legs and I had to buff the same area a few times before the hair falls off. It took less than 10 minutes for me to finish both legs. Conclusion is... It works!!! It kind of reminded me of Nair but it doesn't have that terrible smell and it didn't sting my skin. However, it left a white powder residue on my skin. I rinsed that off, dried my skin and applied some lotion. My skin feels quite smooth (as oppose to shaving). I'm going to wait a couple of days to make sure I don't have any allergic reaction before I try it on more sensitive areas. Then I will write and post review #2.
