Hi Friend...
I think U want 2 kno the composition of H-R-Cream n how it works.. right?
It mainly contains some Proteolytic chemical substances (keratolytic) like Thioglycollic acid,Calcium carbonate etc which is meant 4 dissolution of proteins.. (Hair contains proteins called keratine). There will be some pH stabilizers, soothening agents meant 4 preventing irritation.. , some fragrance agent 2 mask unpleasant smell n give fragrance.., some colouring agent 4 better appearance..
As U know, procedures R illustrated in the packets or leaflets of each products.
Wat they do is just dissolves the protein parts of the hair so that it can be easily wipped off from the skin.
Only thing U need 2 care is hypersensitivity 2 those chemicals/products.. Each time before U R applying tht product, do a trial on a small part of UR inner arm's skin. Even if it passes the test, be careful when apply it on face... start on a small area, Stop n wash if it shows any unusual feeling..
I hop it's clarified..
Regards.

hair removal cream is a chemical.you have to scoop it out the jar and spread it nice and even on your legs, much like buttering your toast, and then wait for about 10 minutes. what happens in this time is the chemical breaks through your skin and loosens the roots of your hair.so the hair is now weak. all it takes is a swipe with a damp towel to get all the hair off your legs.
generally, it could lead to irritation and dark patches.

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are
temporary hair removal methods.
Waxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful.

Most of those things don't work, and I have tried so many of them. The only thing they really do is irritate your skin and they usually do not remove all of the hair anyway.
Waxing is a better method really.

You apply it, and then wait for few minutes before it removes your hair. Then wash it off completely.
Use it only when you absolutely have to. If used too often or on a regular basis, it will cause skin irritation.

Read directions...usually you put on a light coat, wait 3-5 mins. and then wash off. It can burn you if left on too long, so be careful. Also be careful using it down there...it can burn.

it smells bad and you can get all kinds of skin problems from it. best to try a small area first and see if you turn purple or break out or something.
