Is it good for ingrown hair on legs?

Yes, it's a wonderful exfoliator and therefore would remove or reduce the skin cells that would cause ingrown hairs. However, if you currently have an ingrown I would apply a warm washcloth (or a warm bath) to the area to soften the skin before you use it.

I don't have experience with an ingrown hair, but in my opinion it wouldn't be an immediate fix but possibly prevent ingrown hair. As I've read exfoliating helps prevent ingrown hair.

It depends on how fast or slow your hair grows. If after 2 days you can't stand it, then I would say yes. Me personally, yes, I use it after two days and this is why. Prior to purchasing it I let me leg hair grow for over a week. Drove me insane! But I had all my hair growing out so when I did use this, I got it all rather then deal with having more the next day since your hair grows in cycles. A few days later, I noticed TONS of ingrown hairs!! Omg I must have had a hundred of them! So I pluck and dug and plucked away for most of the day. I had even been using the exfoliating rags every other day! I also noticed when it pulled the hairs, most of them didn't have a root, and you know what that means....it broke the hairs rather then pull them out! Hence, the ingrowns..... so now two days is tops for me. If you leave the purple guard off, it gets right against your skin and as long as your skin is tight, it won't pinch or grab you and it pulls the hair by the root better.

It shaves too close, my ingrown hairs got worse, if you are concerned about ingrown hairs stick with a trimmer like the Outliner II or the Oster family of trimmers and detailer, I have all 3 but I am getting rid of this one,

I wasn't able to do it by myself but with assistance yes it does. It actually works on most hair even leg hair but it does not really catch the very stiff or resistant hairs. I still have to use tweezers or shave. This product seems to work best for me on the fine hair of my eyebrows and face. My hubby even uses it for his unibrow.

I don't because it says you need clean skin. It grabs the hair better. It is awesome! The first few times i thought I wouldn't make it. Just let my hair grow alil and i have gotten all of my hair and i am finally soft without ingrown hairs. It takes awhile for it to grow back and it grows back softer. I look forward to it now. Almost tingly sensation not discomfort. If you have no tolerance for pain but really want to use this awesome machine. I would suggest mind over matter because that is what got me to a happy place. A good warm shower. Make sure you are comepletely exfoliated and dry. Loud music as a distraction and power through it. I am not a dr. I am just telling you my experience. So long answer short no I don't :) I hope this helps

Probably not. It helps exfoliate the skin by sloughing off dead skin cells and increasing celd turnover. It's not powerful enough to take off skin over an ingrown hair; nor is it powerful enough to clean so deep into a skin pore that it will remove a hair. Try a back scrubber instead.

This product does not inhibit hair growth, it prevents ingrown hairs. I believe the most effective ingredients are the glycolic and lactic acids (Alpha hydroxy) and salicylic acid (beta hydroxy).

yes. there is an attachment you can buy to use it on your face. but i use it on my face as is, without the attachment. I will say that it has not reduced facial hair for me at all. It has worked well on my legs.

I realize that sometimes you need to exfoliate this area to avoid ingrown hairs. I would use a very fine pumice stone for that purpose, and not this.

As in scars? Perhaps after time. But if you mean ingrown hairs and irritation, yes. It's a great product that was recommended to me by my esthetician and must be used regularly, or at least when irritated, for results.

Hey J. I could not hurt. Many years ago you could purchase this product directly at the drug stores and my Mamma would use it on just about every problem we had that was under the skin. If you have some sort of small abscess like an ingrown hair, I would think it would work. I have personally never had a reaction to this product.

It is not a shaver. It eppilates the hair.. Or pulls it out by the roots. Would be better to wax. This thing caused me to have horrible ingrown hairs. I had to go on antibiotic to get them to clear up. I am an nurse and researched this. It pulls the hair above the skin and breaks it off. UNlike waxing that pulls it completely out. It is painful process, the end result is smooth but the ingrown hairs are awful. I would not recommend this product at all.

There will always be ingrown hair issues with epilators (or waxing, or any other method of hair removal that removes the hair below the skin surface area) It is not specific to this model and will occur with all types. The amount of ingrown hairs is more determined by your skin and hair type. Regular exfoliation and scrubbing of the skin with a loofah after epilating will help reduce the incidence of ingrowns. Unfortunately there will probably always be some and they need to be managed appropriately. Personally Ive found the thigh area to be most prone to them, although again it depends on the hair type.

It can be used for that. My neice bought it for her legs. She made a mess of it. You need someone to help you if you are using it on your face. A litttle messy. Good luck

pretty good but watch out for red bumps from ingrown hairs. This works better the more you use it. I personally love this product.

Honestly I dont know. In my opinion it is even too rich to even use on your legs. I used it three times and it clogged the pores in areas of my legs causing sore pimple like lesions. There are many more suitable products I would use in place of this for my face
