This device is basically a manual epilator. That being said if you have never used an epilator before or don’t enjoy the eye and nose watering thrill of ripping the facial hairs from your face with reckless abandon then this product may not be for you. Though I’ve used epilators in the past this is DIFFERENT, this isn’t gently shaving or using a light electric lady facial shaver. This is old world, horse and carriage, waist coat and a pocket watch level archaism with the added savagery of facial mutilation.It is truly a wonderful product. It does it’s job well but my god does it hurt! I imagine that after awhile you just develop the upper lip and chin toughness of the hulk and the pain no longer bothers you. Don’t do it slowly you’ll only prolong the suffering. I would recommend it. Read more

This works incredibly well, I will likely never pay for professional facial hair removal EVER again. You won't be dissapointed unless you have some very strange expectations ;)In my pictures there's a few teensy hairs, but I was able to get most of those off too after changing the angle and going over it again. I don't mind tiny ones. I didn't get any pics of my chin before, but I have a ton of hair that grows and it was so fast to remove. The pictures show the contrast of the have of my lip already done and the half not done. It's hard to tell how much hair there is because the lighting in my bathroom/it's mostly blonde hairs. Hope the unflattering photos help you decide to buy this thing or one like it. I don't often write reviews, but this had truly changed my life in a smallish way. To me it's kinda big because it had come down to either spending way too much at a salon, getting dry/scabby skin from waxing at home or just letting my facial hair remain which was majorly embarrassing.It worked about as well as threading which cost me about $40-60 depending on how much of my face I had done.The only thing on your face it says not to use it on is your eyebrows because it is not a precision tool. It pulls out everything in its patch. So I just used some scotch tape that wouldn't pull the hairs and taped over my actually eyebrow and used it on the hairs below to clean it up, this actually worked very well though I grabbed a few lashes while trying to do it. It would be very easy to pull out all your lashes in one pass if you aren't paying attention so closed the eye you're working on to keep the lashes away and be careful. I was able to easily pluck between the uni-brow area without taping up the brows and my fiancé actually used it on his and he said it was so easy he just passed over it a few times and it was all clear.I have tried waxing and using an at home sugar based wax (not your typical sugaring that you'd have done at a salon) and both pulled at my skin and would often cause scanning a couple days after use. I also could never get the hairs out of that little indent above the middle of my upper lip. It was very painful and my skin did not like it. It also didn't work very well and I would give up because it wouldn't pull all the hairs out and would leave my skin damaged. Also, even the times that it didn't do skin damage the redness would still take hours to clear and sometimes wouldn't be clear even overnight. This spring somehow works well enough that the redness cleared VERY quickly for me. Which never happened with anything else I've done. Within about 30 mins it was clear enough to not be embarrassingly pink and within an hour it was nearly all clear. That might be a long time to some, but my skin just likes to stay red...so that was impressive to me.After trying waxing I started going and getting threaded which works incredibly well and I was so happy to find it, but it's something you really have to take the time to learn/master to do on yourself (and is very expensive to have done consistently by someone who does it well) so it wasn't something I really wanted to do (though I planned to eventually). At this point now that I discovered spring hair removal I'll never need to learn to thread though both work great.You will love it. Just buy it. Read more

This was my first time trying this product. As you can see I have coarse thick hair over chin and upper lips. I have used plucker all this time to remove these hair. It worked pretty well for me, it removed around 96% hair. There were few hair left which I had to pluck out later. Another important part of this, is it leaves smooth skin around chin which I never felt before while i was plucking. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this product and will continue to use.

This is NOT a 100% stainless steel tool! 1-2 days after using this and it barely removed any of my fine facial hair (pulled out very , random, small patches) anywhere it touched my skin, I broke out in tiny clusters of beady bumps that are filled with clear liquid! This is how I react to any impure metals that contain nickel! Now my face is embarrassing! I’m 65 yrs old, I don’t break out! I’m so very disappointed in this tool and I truly hope to warn people with metal allergies and/or sensitive skin to skip trying out this facial hair removal tool!! Read more

As someone who is mixed with Iranian and black you have an idea of how thick and dark my hair is. Unfortunately, it grows thick and dark on my upper lip and chin area. I used to go weekly to get these areas.threaded or waxed and trust me, it can get pretty expensive! If I were ever strapped for cash I would be stuck with a five o'clock shadow.I have tried waxing those areas myself and I just didn't seem to have the skill or some of the kits were not strong enough for my hair. This tool is like the miracle I needed. Is it painful? Yes. But it's not anymore painful than threading. I can use this during my nightly routine and not be tied to salon hours. I absolutely love this product! Read more

I had the Bellabe spring over the last year and I really liked that, but it felt like it lost its spring tightness over time, so I ordered this one to replace it. I used it for the first time today and it works so good! It's a really good length, so it's much easier to work with than the other, and the quality of the metal feels really sturdy. The picture with this comment is a comparison of the Bellabe and R.E.M so you can see the size difference. You can also see the difference in metal color. The R.E.M. brand is stainless steel and has a more grey tone to it. Hope this helps. Very happy with this purchase. Read more

DO NOT BUY - The spring is unable to pull thick, dark hair (the ones that matter) but will pull out all your thin, peach fuzz which resulted in a horrible skin reaction for me! I have little scabs, marks, and pimples all over my skin. My face has NEVER been in such terrible condition. Never looked like this and never struggled with acne before! I have had facial waxing and never reacted like this. Additionally, hairs get stuck inside the spring and the coils are too tight to properly clean or remove. Very unhygienic. Avoid at all cost!

I want to thank whoever made this / came up with this idea! Seriously. Just wish I’d found it earlier. Way less abrasive than plucking. As a result, might lead to less ingrown hairs and pigmentation for people who regularly remove hair on sensitive skin. Can do larger areas faster. I found it easy to use, personally. (I was unlucky with laser - had done it on & off for over a decade - it stopped hair growth in some areas, but can actually INCREASE growth sometimes, which it did for me in some areas.) So far, so good! I think it’d be a great thing to recommend for friends with PCOS/PCOD who have to remove facial hair etc. regularly. Read more

I struggle with PCO hairs, waxing isn't an option for me, as i have to grow the hairs out for weeks just so that waxing is affective and ain't no way i am walking around like that. Tweezing takes forever, and laser hair removal is expensive. This device has been a life saver, it took a while to get the hang of it but once i figured it out it was a walk in the park. It isn't has painful as waxing as long as you are using the device correctly. After a month of using this i have noticed less hair growth . I am beyond satisfied i highly suggest getting one Read more

I bought this product cuz I was beginning to get frustrated by a sudden surge of PCOS related hormonal facial hair along my jawline. I’ve used it just once but it works so well! It’s really easy to get a hang of. I would say the pain is about the same as threading or plucking hair. It hurts for a split second yes, but there’s no pain or redness after.I would suggest googling or watching a YouTube video to learn how to use the spring first, but trust me it’s really straightforward. And plucks multiple hairs at once, from the root, so you can tell it is doing the job cuz the little hairs may stick in the spring.It is also stainless steel so it won’t rust! Really glad I bought this.One drawback is that some hairs are harder to pull out if they are too fine or in tricky spots. Read more

It doesn't work for me, maybe I'm using it wrong but it doesn't pick up all the hair I still have to use tweezers Read more
