The Results From Hair-Minimizing Body Lotions
"The results vary by person as everyone's hair grows in at different thicknesses and rates," Fitzgerald said. The technology in the European Wax Centre products, as well as the ingredient capislow, work to make regrowth come in thinner and finer than it was before, but those with naturally thin, light hair will probably see quicker results than those with thicker and darker hair.
Unlike waxing and laser hair removal, hair-minimizing body products like lotions and body butters will not give you long-term results. "There is no evidence that using topical treatments with capislow will eliminate hair altogether," Dr. Gross said. "Typically, once you stop using it, hair will begin to grow back."
The best way to see how your hair growth reacts to minimizing ingredients is to try them after waxing or plucking. "Because most are formulated from plant enzymes, most people don't experience negative side effects," Dr. Gross said. "However, I always recommend doing a skin test before applying to a larger part of the body. Pick a small patch on your arm or leg, and apply the product. Wait 24 hours, and check if you have an allergic reaction or irritation."
