How do Veet Hair Removal Creams work?

The creams are chemical depilatories that are specially formulated to breakdown the hair shaft. The mechanical action of removing the Cream using the spatula, Bladeless Kit tool, or sponge helps pull away the broken down hair from the surface of the skin.

Is it okay to sunbathe after using Creams?

No. We advise that you wait 24 hours before going out in the sun.

Can I use other products on my skin (anti-perspirant, perfumes, tanning lotions, moisturising lotions) after using Creams?

With the exception of Veet Anti Ingrown Hair Cream, we advise that you wait 24 hours before using any of the above.

How long can I keep the Creams?

Most Veet products can be used for a period of 3 years from the date of manufacture printed on the pack.

How do Veet® Hair Removal Creams work?

Like all cream, gel or mousse depilatory products, Veet® Hair Removal Creams are specially formulated to wash away the hair in just 3 minutes (5 minutes for the Sensitive Formula product). The specially designed Perfect Touch™ spatula then enables quick, effective removal of the cream for a smooth and long-lasting finish.

How thick of a layer should be applied?

Apply the Cream directly onto the skin with the spatula, spreading evenly to fully cover the hair.

For best hair removal results how long should hair growth be?

There is no requirement on how long the hair should be. However, please note that you should wait 72 hours between applications.

What is the best way to remove Veet® Hair Removal Creams?

Use the spatula to remove most of the cream, then rinse skin thoroughly with water. Pat dry gently.

Can I apply the new Veet In-Shower Hair removal Cream in the shower?

We recommend that you apply the product before getting into the shower so that you can ensure your skin is dry on application and that you achieve even coverage of the product before it comes into contact with water. Leave the product on your legs for just 1 minute, wash your hands thoroughly and then just shower as normal before removing after a further 2 minutes. Simple as that.

Won’t the cream wash away and stop working when I get into the shower?

The cream contains a special ingredient - the same as you get in some waterproof mascaras - which helps the product repel water and carry on working while you shower. You should avoid direct jets of water where you have applied the cream as it will start to wash away.

If I wash my hair after applying the cream won’t it remove the hair on my head?

Please always read instructions for use and precautions before using the product. It is essential that the hands are washed thoroughly after applying and removing the product before continuing with your normal shower routine.
