Is this product more harsh on the face than other Remington epilators that are specifically designed for the face? Or is the difference only in size?

I have only tried this one. I worked pretty well but it is uncomfortable. I did note I was not as bothered as time went on though. I still use a depilatory as well for the really fine hairs.

I have used only one small epilator made for the face, and I prefer the Remington. The head is rather thick compared to the one I used. I would not try to use it on eyebrows but I have used on my upper lip with good results. It is more powerful than the small ones that run on disposable batteries so it takes less time and doesn't hurt as much. I find that it works well on both fine and coarse hairs.

Hello. Thru my research, I found that most derma rollers or dermatological skin needling devices designed to use on facial skin are made of stainless steel which can blunt easily with daily use. Titanium derma rollers specially the ones made of pure titanium a much finer and a much more durable edge eliminating excess irritation caused by stainless steel. I have a titanium roller and I love it! I also plan on buying another one for my body. I know titanium costs a bit more, but it's worth it.I hope this helps :-)

John it works well for all skin types as you can adjust the gap of the blade. I normally shave with it set to a 4.5 gap , but when I go against the grain on the neck and upper lip I take it down to 2.5 for the neck and 1.5 for the lip. Remember blade does matter so find the blade that works best for your face and also remember this razor has a really good weight to it so dont apply any pressure let the weight do it for you. Also with any safety razor angle and no pressure are key. Proraso White Pre-Shave is something I would also recommend if you have sensitive skin.

Exactly, Philips have some explaining to do here. Surely facial skin is tougher than some other obviously delicate areas on your body, so it cant be (I hope) the fact that it will rip at your skin. But also if it shaves as close as it says it does, in all areas of your body it would find facial hair removal easy, regardless of whether you go for a close or a 5 o'clock look.Mooi

I do use it on my face (trim the beard), I use the #0 extension and it is a little hard to get the hair directly under the nose. I have to cut them with a scissor to even it out, but that is the only part I find difficult. It is definitely wider then the clippers designed for beards, but I have no problem using it.

Personally I use it and I know of a few other people who do as well. However, depending on the coarseness of the facial hair, one might need more than a couple of treatments before it becomes painless and comfortable. I do believe there is a specific model that is recommended for the face and other sensitive areas. They are from emjoi as well with the same concept, and I know they work well on soft thin hair, but i'm not sure if they work as well on coarse hair. Hope that helps.

I did not really find any differences in the 'sizes'. I thought I bought 2 sizes, a Med for me, and a Small for my wife. But after using them both, I have yet to find out which is the smaller one. In reality, you must buy it and try it out. If you try it out, just remember to minimize any stubble around the mask / face interface. Also test the seal on the mask... meaning plug the side filter holes (with them off) and inhale. If the mask sticks to your face, you are good to go. If not, they the face / mask seal is bad. Sweat or Vaseline can help make that seal better. After all, that seal provides the filtration benefits you are purchasing the mask for.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend these on the face, I've tried, but they are a little too rough for me. I've also read that you shouldn't use them on delicate areas.

The LA63 is the first electric razor I have used so I can't compare it to Braun. I'm not heavy bearded. That said, I find that the LA63 does as good a job on my upper lip and nose area as it does the rest of my face. As far as I'm concerned the big head is not a problem.

It depends on where on your face you want to use it. They have one with smaller attachments so its easier to use on the face. I think i would send it and get the one for the face too.

Yes, it does. I use it on the peach fuzz right under my lower lip and it works great. Granted, it does hurt, but obviously that's going to be the case with anything that rips out multiple hairs in a second. Though, I have extremely sensitive skin, too. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be used on the face; my old epilator was advertised for facial use and since they appear to be almost exactly the same, I just went ahead and used this without looking into it. It's gentler than what I was using before. I haven't had any problems aside from red bumps that last a couple of hours that come up occasionally which I expect are unavoidable with the process (at least in my case). It may be a concern that using an epilator on the face can increase the risk of ingrown hairs (from what I have read). I've not had a problem with ingrown hairs on my face, though I have had the problem everywhere else I've used an epilator, so I expect this is very accurate. This may be something to think about if you have not used an epilator on your face previously.

It does remove the hair (I use it on my upper lip), but it seems to grow back faster (get stubbly) than when I used the Panasonic epilator. Bottom line: I'd buy the Panasonic instead.

Depending on the area to be treated (i.e. thickness of the skin) .5mm is good for general face treatment. I would look for a good quality needle with FDA approved, gamma-sterilized and make sure they have precision cut needles. Three line rollers are a nice addition for hard to reach areas but start with the regular size which is good for all over the face.

Hi June.. I decided to purchase the smaller one just to see how it works. I read people have used it in face as well. I have been using it for 3 days now and see a slight improvement in my skin texture and tone. After a couple months. I will be purchasing the larger one. I'm happy with it. I do suffer from facisl nerve pain and have had bells palsy; I have read micro current is good for this as well. So that was another reason for purchase. Hope this helps.

I never put it on my face. I buy a separate one for my face. I'm sure it won't hurt you but don't get it near your eyes. It will sting.

I bought it primarily for my face....which works great! If it works for the face, the most sensitive area, it will work everywhere.
