Veet Wax Strips (page 3 of 4)

Bought Veet Wax Strips "New Formula".
I have never used the previous strips so I can't comment on how they compare but it barely gets any hairs. If I'm going to nearly rip the skin off my leg, you better believe I want those hairs gone.
Terrible product, don't waste your money. Buy better wax strips or go to a salon if you can. Reluctant to try any of their other wax products for fear they're as poor.

Always used veet wax strips before. This new gel formulae is definitely Not reusable, used 20 to do two half legs and ended up having to use a razor. I won't be using them again

I really liked these strips before they changed them. The new "formula" doesn't work as well, the paper backing tears too easy and it leaves more wax on my skin. Bring back the old strips and I will buy them again.

I've purchased this product several times over the yrs. Used on my happy trail, my armpits, my bikini line. Had sufficient results when the strips were "wax". I would warm them a little with my blow dryer before applying. When I bought the last box it said "New Formula"- it's a pink colored gel wax. As with other reviews, I did not have good results. This stuff is "super" sticky... sticks to everything but the hair you are trying to remove. Left all my areas a mess. Quite red and irritated for 2-3 days. Ended up having to shave after all. Not i...

First time I have used this and never again. Strips did not remove much hair and left gel on my legs which I had to scrub off for ages. My legs are now very sore and sticky. I intend fully to contact the company to complain

I tried out these wax strips as opposed to shaving. They were horrendous. The wax strips are very messy and each one only works once. Hardly any of the hair was removed and my skin has developed small red bumps which have remained three weeks on! I'm not happy

I wanted to try veet wax strips instead of shaving and when I bought them it didn't removed hardly any hair! You can't even lay the wax strip down without the wax sticking to something and it won't come off! Even with boiling water and cleaning spray! Such a waste of money! Would not recommend to anyone!!

Terrible product. I tried it on underarms but hardly some hairs were removed. When tried on legs it didn't pull all the hairs. Strips are messy and not at all effective. Highly disappointed. Never recommend it to anybody. Wastage of money. Totally in loss. Never expected this from veet.

I got tired of shaving and wanted to give waxing a go, so I got these when on sale. Big regret. When I ripped the strips off my legs, around half of the hair stayed put, even after I tried multiple times. What's more, quite a bit of the wax came off the strips and got stuck onto my skin and it's quite difficult to get it off without the finishing wipes - of which there were nowhere near enough. In the end I had some rashes and sensitive pores from where the hairs were ripped out, making the skin bumpy to the touch. I still had to shave/tweeze my legs to get rid of the rest of the hair...

I've tried multiple hair loss products (so far as cheap store bought products) and this wax strip kit was by far the best, at least for my legs. Sally Hansen was fine for the face but didn't remove anything thicker than fine face hair. I dare not try my bikini region by myself, but this worked wonders for my legs. I have really course, dark hair on my legs, and I wasn't getting my hopes up with this product since the only thing that's worked for me was hard wax done professionally, but I was pleasantly surprised. I heated up the strips and put ...

They don't remove all my hair from the area and are REALLY messy! I dont know what is this. I don't see it removing any of my hair! The quality is so poor! It's horrible!

Please please make sure you test it before use. I got the extra sensitive facial waxing strips and my face came up in a massive red rash swollen and very irritated. Be careful!

I've tried a few different brands and this one is the best. I managed to do one arm in the car while hubby ducked in to the bottle o to grab some beer on Australia Day! Some tips:
1) I would not recommend for first time waxes unless you have fine hair. I suggest going to a salon and getting it done professionally, and learning how to wax a few times before attempting yourself. Wait for the hair to get thinner and a bit patchy, then waxing is a breeze.
2) make sure you do it in good light, not in your home theatre watching a movie with all th...

I was getting waxing my full legs armpits and full arms from salon but sme friend suggested to me do a waxing @home and i tried many variety of waxes but this one OMG best ever wax i used in my life all pulling hair in a one go and in 20 mins both half legs done very properly ..I'm not going to use any other wax ..I JST LOVED DIS ONE....

I had the worst experience with this product, it ripped my skin off and left burn marks. It was definitely my first and last time using Veet Wax Strips!! Cheesed!

The veer wax strips are terrible!! I usually go to a salon and when I tried it at home it was horrendous! They made my skin very sore and I have a wax burn, because the hair didn't come out properly.

As shown in ads product is no way match of that. First thing as said the wax strip are not so easy to use and the worst thing I got skin reaction. I don't know why this product is still in market.

I do not know if there is a problem with the batch but I had a terrible experience. I bought 2 packets with 20 strips in each and tried removing hair on my hands first. Firstly, the strips are so bad to handle. I tried cutting them in to half . But no, it did not work for me. Both the vertical ends would end up sticking to each other. Secondly, even after wiping off with the given oil based wipes, my hands felt sticky. I tried baby oil to remove it but still patches of ugly glue kind of material remained stuck to my skin the entire day. Thirdly...

I have used Veet with good results for many years and was confident of the results I could achieve. However, new formula, new packaging makes the product look impressive in the packet, despite making sure the wax was warm large sections of wax came away on the skin from the waxy paper strips on use. I used two full strips on the front of one lower leg, with lots of residual hairs remaining, old formula/strips I could do both lower legs with two strips. Gave up and shaved in this instance. Waste of money and I won't be buying again.

I tried it today for the first time on my underarms. Removed almost all the hair with one pull. very easy, time saving. I got the 20 strips pink box. awesome results.

I have pretty sensitive skin & have been using this product for a number of years on the sides of my face and upper lip. The application is easy, quick and has never left my skin irritated.

Being ethnic, my hair is quite coarse but would only recommend it on softer hair - I find for the wax strip to grip the hair effectively on my upper lip, I need to let the hair grow around 3-4 mm (which I refuse to do!)

Overall a pretty awesome product for not so coarse hair.
Easy, not much residue, priced ok, no irritation
Doesn't quite grip thicker short hair : (

Great product no overheating pots in the microwave that boil over, no getting the stick stuck in the pot and having to be a pro in handling and spreading the wax... This strip has it all done for you just heat between your hands (I find putting some under my leg while I'm sitting helps so that it's pre-warmed so you don't have to rub so hard) and place and then rip off! No mess no sticky fingers no drip wax all over it's the easiest. I buy the big box from big w $14.76 for box of 40 I don't think that's expensive esp if you compare it to salon waxing prices!
Easy use, clean and mess free, cheap, good smell, great after wax strips in box
Nothing it's great!

I bought this for emergency's for when I ran out of my usual hot wax. This product surprisingly picks up alot of the hair. I bought the pink box one, great packaging and there are plenty of strips in there. Very happy with the product. Not a cheap alternative to buying it in a pot or great for the environment. But great for spares/emergencies. I will buy again.
Nice smelling scent.
It sometimes took an entire packet to use on my legs

Cold wax strips are ideal for hair removal - quick & easy to use, not too painful, slow regrowth. I use them in between epilating when the hair on my legs gets too long to epilate.
I've tried most cold wax strips and Veet is my favourite. Easy to use, no mess and available in an economical 40 pack.
Environmental issues (waste) if you use them all the time - I can go through a whole pack when doing a full leg wax.

I wouldn't recommend them for everyday waxing, more for touch ups or areas with only a little hair. They are wonderfully convenient though and great for travelling when you can't warm up regular wax and muck around with fabric strips.
Very convenient- I used these when travelling and they were great for touch ups along the way- I've even used them on a bus!
They smell lovely.
I doubt whether these would work for full-on waxing- I only needed touch ups after a salon wax and even then I had to go over and over a couple of places. Make sure you buy baby oil at the same time as the wax won't rinse off in water.
They are easy to use but lose their stick quickly so I don't think they last as long as the product claims.
