Philips Satinelle Essential Compact Hair Removal Epilator, BRE235/04

I want to preface this by saying that I am a hairier than average female due to PCOS issues. My body hair can be thick and dark and grows very quickly. I’ve been shaving since I was 9 years old and always got razor burn and irritation and the shave never lasted long. I did so much research on hair removal and as I grew older I tried different methods but faced the same issues. Granted I’ve never tried laser because it’s out of my budget. I tried waxing which wasn’t terrible in terms of pain and while it did last me almost 2 weeks, when there was hair I missed that I’d just pluck or shave, it grew back unevenly and shaving over skin that’s barely growing back after waxing was painful and caused more ingrowns. I disliked having the extra expense of purchasing wax beads constantly. Not to mention the MESS that comes with waxing at home when you’re not a professional! Sugaring was probably the best hair removal method I tried because it truly thinned out the hair that came back and took some time, it was sparse and I felt my skin looked great but making the wax out of sugar, Lemon and water everytime from scratch took so much trial and error to get the perfect consistency for my skin needs. Purchasing the ready made sugaring stuff was always a hit or miss. I’m also someone who runs warm so as I’d sugar the hair, the sugar would start to melt into my skin and became unusable regardless of my sitting right in front of the AC! I will admit with any hair removal method I always had terrible irritation so when it grew back I would get painful Ingrown hair despite having skin care and exfoliation routines to combat that so I finally just gave up on hair removal all together and would only shave the hair when necessary like when I’d wear dresses or skirts and especially during the hot months when it’s not really an option to wear pants. For a few years I let most of my body hair run wild and let it be but as I started to enter the dating world of course I wanted to be smooth and wear my more feminine clothes. Overall I wanted to feel more aesthetically feminine so I got back into shaving but the irritation was horrible as expected and I gave up again until I found this! This is my first epilator ever. I read about how painful epilating was and always decided against purchasing one but I’m glad I gave this a chance! Sure it does feel more painful than any hair removal method I’ve personally tried but the lack of ingrowns, skin irritation and burns I have afterwards make this so worth it. This was terrific in terms of price and works fine. I do have to go over skin a few times to make sure I get everything and yes as far as irritation goes I get the little raised bumps for a short time it goes away within hours, but I’ll take that to ingrowns and razor burns and itchiness! My skin feels genuinely smooth and I don’t have the same strawberry legs and pores that shaving gives me! The more you do it the more you get used to the pain. My recommendation is to epilate at least a day before you want to bare the skin. My only complaint is the power cord comes off quite easily. For folks who have overstimulation issues, this is quite loud. Personally, I use headphones and watch something to take my mind off the pain and noise. Overall, I have nothing but admiration and respect for people who epilate because it can be a doozy! Cheers to smoother skin and a raised pain tolerance. 🍸

I wont lie to you, this sucker hurts, especially on areas of more sensitive skin. However, it works like a charm and I am OBSESSED with it. Listen, I'm a girl who suffers from PCOS and excessive body hair. I am also a professional cosmetologist and I have access to various high quality and professional hair removal methods. Hear me out: I hate shaving because it causes ingrown hairs and makes my facial hair grow back darker and thicker and much more obvious. I have used DOZENS of different shaving methods an still have this issue. Having someone else wax my face is expensive, especially for someone like me who genuinely needs it on a 10-14 day cycle. I can, and do wax myself at home, but hard wax or soft wax, it is very time consuming, messy, and expensive to buy the products needed as frequently as I need to use them. I am not over exaggerating; I grow a TON of hair ridiculously fast. Of course, tweezing each individual hair is even more time consuming and I have reached a point in my life in which trying to keep up with my own hair growth just to feel female is completely overwhelming. I decided to give this epilator a try and I am HOOKED. It is such an easy, simple, mess-free and speedy way to remove my facial and body hair without killing my bank account! It pulls the hairs right out like a wax, providing a longer-lasting hairlessness than shaving. It's like a ton of electric tweezers all moving together to grab multiple hairs at once. It even cleans the peach fuzz! I can't lie, it's not painless. I always hate waxing my upper lip because it hurts like the dickens and this was much worse in terms of pain, especially because you can feel it snagging each individual hair instead of one quick rip like wax. I am so desperate for the hair to be gone in a more manageable way though, and it is so 100% worth it for me to endure a few minutes of discomfort so that I can enjoy multiple days of smoothness. This might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially with so many more modern forms of hair removal today, but I seriously couldn't be happier with the results. No woman should have a beard like man, haha!

Not too bad! It hurts a lot but once you get used to it, it’s not that bad. I DO NOT recommend under the arms though. SUPER painful. It does struggle to get little hairs like upper leg, which is annoying since they don’t grow that long but works perfectly on lower leg. Definitely exfoliate every time you shower, and moisturize to avoid ingrown hairs. I wish it was cordless because it unplugs a lot which sucks and I have to be near an outlet…

Excellent, I use small numbing cream and powder my skin prior to epilation. No pain at all and it takes very less time. Only thing is before using first time and if hair is thick on arms and legs, use hair removal cream, wait a week or two until the epilator can catch the growing hair. Then the epilator can be used for maintenance every other week or so. Love this product, highly recommend.

Having read some of the reviews of this epilator, I confess I was ready to be disappointed. In fact, the reverse is true! This device is a game changer. If, like me you are of an age when to your horror your face begins to sprout long black hairs almost overnight read ion! Now I can deal with those unwanted. additions to my physiognomy without anybody being any the wiser! I admit the upper lip area is a tad uncomfortable. But again totally worth it. No pain no gain! I have for years been an audience leg waxer. Maybe I am over-sharing, but in the winter when I’m not displaying my legs, I leave the hairs to multiply with abandon. As summer approaches I wax my legs: a messy and laborious business. With the epilator everything has changed. A couple of runs over each lower leg, and my legs are hairless and perfect!

جودة جيدة

الجهاز تعطل عن العمل بمجرد استخدامه مرة واحدة بعد ١٥ يوم من شراؤه وإمكانية الارجاع اتقفلت وارجو التواصل لايجاد حل

Rápido y facil para remover el bello de raíz, duele un poco al principio pero después te acostumbras y no sientes molestias.

Me gusto mucho, la primer depilada duele horrible pero despues ya se tolera el dolor

It hurts to use this product....It fails to do what it says and the cost is ridiculous for the product itself.
