Best facial hair removal creams for super smooth skin tried and tested (2024)

Jolen Facial Hair Remover Kit

Jolen

Jolen may be best known for its bleaching products but the brand offers this hair removal kit too. It’s a two-step process that leaves your complexion free from the downy fuzz in just five minutes. It’s one of the speediest on the market.

Start with the Skin Guarding Balm that acts as a layer of protection for your delicate skin in order to get the full power of what’s to follow without irritation or redness. Massage into the skin for around 20 seconds. Next, apply the Hair Removal Cream. If your hair is particularly thick, you may need slightly longer but the brand stresses that you should never go beyond eight minutes.

The price is affordable and it leaves your skin feeling super soft, no matter whether you apply it to the upper lip, jawline or sideburns.

Veet Pure Face Hair Removal Cream Kit

Veet

Veet has upgraded the formula of its depilatory cream to make it kinder on sensitive skin. There are fewer chemicals included within but there’s no sacrificing on efficacy. This also means the smell is far more pleasant than it used to be, but you’ll only need it on for five minutes, so this shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

This is another two-step process but it starts with the hair removal cream that you can use on upper lip, cheeks and chin and is set alongside a healing balm. The products contain aloe vera and vitamin E to encourage nourishment alongside hair removal, a welcomed addition.

Nair Sensitive Formula Facial Brush-On

Nair

Nair and hair removal cream are almost synonymous and so it will come as no surprise that this is one of our favourites on the market. What makes it stand out from the crowd is the inclusion of camellia oil and ylang-ylang which makes for a more pleasant experience in the sensorial department.

When you stick to the recommended timing, it works a treat without leaving redness behind but you can always layer up a soothing product to help sensitive skin heal. Application time is a mere three minutes, which even removes dark and coarse hair.

WooWoo Tame Intimate Hair Remover

WooWoo

This is one of the bestselling hair removal creams on the market for a reason. The brand has taken it back to the drawing board when devising the formula, going against everything you believed went part and parcel with products of this type.

WooWoo has instead created a gentle, skin-loving formula enriched with aloe vera and jojoba oil. It’s for the intimate area specifically but due to the delicate composition, we think it could work for the face too. Plus you can apply it in the shower and leave for just a few minutes while it dissolves hair in its wake.

Avon

Avon’s calling with this shaving alternative product. The hair removal cream sets the soothing and calming benefits of aloe vera and jojoba oil alongside the potent hair removal components so that you can be freed from fuzz without burning the skin. It might feel slightly tingling while the product is on but shouldn’t leave a lasting impression or irritate those with sensitivities.

Sally Hansen

This may not be the best option for those with sensitive skin but if you find that your hair is thicker and needs a bit more oomph to tackle each and every one, this is the hair removal kit you’ll want to stock up on.

For the likes of the chin and upper lip, it does the job, while infusing skin with moisturisation from collagen and vitamin E. It has a slight vanilla smell that is more pleasant than the traditional egg-like wafts.

Jolen Cream Bleach

Jolen

For some, it may be a far more effective method to lighten dark hair than removing it entirely, particularly for those with fair complexions. Jolen is one of the leaders with a gentle but effective formula where you can channel your inner chemist. Mix up the contents and have lighter, blonde hair in just 10 minutes. It really is that easy and may even work for those with sensitive and dry skin.

DECLÉOR

For those with sensitivities or to counteract the possibility of irritation, follow any of the above creams with soothing gels like the DECLÉOR Clove Post Hair Removal Cooling Gel (£32.64) or Australian Bodycare Intim Balm (£11.99) that are designed to be used on delicate areas to soothe the skin after hair removal. They may even minimise regrowth or ingrown hairs.

Hydrocortisone cream, which you can find over the counter, is also ideal for itching, inflammation or irritation. HC45 Hydrocortisone Cream is available at Boots for just £5.49.
