I was sceptical of the Veet Hair Minimising Moisturiser For Sensitive Skin for a couple of reasons. As a company Veet promises to offer a full money back guarantee if the product doesn't work. That in itself is a strong claim that gave me confidence in the product. I do not doubt that Veet would have remained true to their word in their claim but it is a confident approach nonetheless. Secondly, the moisturiser has reportedly been 'designed to noticeably slow down hair regrowth, prolonging that silky smooth feeling so you can remove hair less often.' The statistics that I read on one website noted that 82% of 300 women who tested the product out over a period of four weeks found a noticeable difference in the appearance of their leg or body hair.
The moisturiser is available to target a variety of different needs from sensitive skin to hair minimising to normal to dry skin. Usually my preference for moisturisers would sway towards normal to dry as my legs are often dry from excessive shaving. I decided to try the sensitive moisturiser instead but in hindsight I think the normal to dry may have been better for me.
Retailing at around £3.99 depending on the retailer it wasn't overly priced if I found it in fact didn't work. As I say I've had the Veet Hair Minimising Moisturiser For Sensitive Skin for a while now and have yet to finish the bottle. Despite shaking the moisturiser vigorously it doesn't improve the consistency of the formula. It is an incredibly running moisturiser that literally runs down the legs. It can prove quite messy and has actually dripped onto my carpet several times. As there's no bleach or ammonia in the formula it's perfectly safe if it does drip onto fabric as it won't stain. It's taken me a while to use the Veet Hair Minimising Moisturiser For Sensitive Skin because it's so light and runny. I prefer my moisturisers to be thicker and really sink into the skin.
Yet despite how light the formula is it still takes a while to sink into the skin. I've found that I can't get dressed immediately and have to wait until it is completely dry before getting dressed. Veet are renowned for their waxing products but it doesn't specify if any particular form of hair removal works best in conjunction with this moisturiser. I've tried almost everything when it comes to hair removal but prefer shaving purely for convenience. As I'm dark haired I have to shave a lot which of course causes irritation to the skin. I recently purchased an electric shaver to reduce skin irritation which works well until the blades are blunted and clogged. Electric shaver's take a lot longer to clean and maintain than disposable razors and I'm not entirely sure I clean mine properly. Having switched to an electric shaver I found that I would have to shave every couple of days which of course only aggravates the skin. Since using the Veet Hair Minimising Moisturiser For Sensitive Skin I've found a noticeable difference in how often I have to remove the hair. I apply the moisturiser straight after shaving to allow the moisturiser to work straight away and apply every night there after until I need to shave again. I can't say that it's lightened or softened the hairs but it does stunt hair re-growth which means I don't have to shave nearly as often as I used to.
Veet Hair Minimising Moisturiser For Sensitive Skin does exactly what it says on the bottle, the only downside for me is how runny it is. I would prefer it if the moisturiser was thicker but I honestly think it works.
