Alida Hair Remover Mitt for Legs (3 Mitts)

I have dark leg hair that seems to grow quite fast, meaning I usually need to shave every other day. My legs are very dry and scaly, moisturising alone does not do very much. I have been using these for a few weeks now and I am happy with the results. My legs are smoother, no longer scaly or overly dry. I would say they are fantastic for exfoliation. I don’t feel like I am spending ages using these, I would say about 5 minutes in total for both legs. Maybe a little longer when you add in the cool face cloth and moisturising after wards. I have extremely sensitive skin on my legs. Lots of hair removal methods leave my legs red, itchy and sore. There is a little sting after using these. It does not last long if you follow the aftercare results stated on the back of the packet. I am not left with any redness or itching. It says to use once a week. For me, this does not keep leg hair at bay. I need to shave once a week also to keep things right. Overall, I am impressed for the exfoliating alone. I will definitely purchase these again.

Very efficient! I used to buy Marks & Spencers' version and was happy with them: these are a lot more efficient and I understand how some people might hurt themselves if they are rubbing too enthusiastically. You need to be gentle, especially when they are brand new! Only increase the pressure if it feels confortable. Do not attempt to remove all the hair on the first day. Even those that have not come off at first, will be erradicated on the 2d or 3d day (or even whilst rubbing against your clothes, because they will have been greatly weakened). As well, make sure you start a new mitt on the legs and not on the arms... (as I did!...) I only use them on my legs and arms. On the first day, I worked the mitts for 1 or 2 mn per half-leg, even less on the arms. Afterwards, I use them a few seconds everyday as maintenance, or whenever the hair becomes noticable again and starts bothering me. Despite having dark/strong hair and, very pale/sensitive skin, I never have to wax or shave anymore. REGARDING INGROWN HAIR I used to suffer from very bad ingrown hair but I don't anymore. I moisturise after buffing, and use "Nad's Ingrown Solution" (when needed, not necessarily every day and not directly after buffing). I use the blue spray bottle (for men) as they don't do a spray for women anymore, only a gel which feels a bit sticky. This product has salicylic acid, which helps exfoliate dead skin cells, as well as glycerin, which moisturises the skin: I swear by this stuff! If I already had ingrown hair, I would not use the mitts to buff them off. I would encourage the hair to come out naturally by exfoliating with "Nad's Ingrown Solution". I would still use the mitts over the area, but gently, not applying any extra pressure. I now have hairfree, baby-soft legs and arms that only take a few seconds a day to maintain.

Works quite well but would be better if it was a bit wider - I don’t have big hands for a woman but could only get 3 fingers in it with ease.

I bought something similar to this years ago and realised that they have limited use for hair removal but they are great for gently smoothing off dry skin. Recently, I have been struggling with some dry, scaly skin on my legs that scrubs or lotions were not shifting. I bought this product and I am delighted with how baby soft the skin on my legs now is. So soft that I don't need any more creams full of questionable ingredients. Will be buying loads more.

Good product, works - only downside depending on own skin type, can cause itchiness for a short while after but settles down

Great things.Removes hair painlessly and leaves the skin smooth and soft. Easily portable for holidays too.

I used a similar product about 30 years ago and did a great job of removing leg hair. I have been and avid waxer for many years but my partner was looking for an easy and pain free way to remove bum fuzz. I suggested these pads but they didn't remove jot. Wouldn't give them a star. Honestly these just don't work whatever other reviews say 😕

I am so glad to be able to get these again. I hadn’t seen them in shops for many years. I use them for legs, and love them because: they take a few minutes to use, you don’t have to wait for hair to get long, just use a bit whenever you want, no chemicals, no water, grow back way more slowly than any other method, and a lot less expensive than waxing!! Not that Salons are an option now anyway!
