What We Don’t Like About Cidbest Hair Growth Inhibition Hair Removal Spray
We found customers who complained about the product not working but did not specify how long they tried it. One user did state that there were no results after 2 weeks, however, the product instructions state that hair thinning takes 1-4 weeks, depending on the thickness of your hair.

What We Like About Nair Hair Remover Spray
The addition of the argan oil helps mask the hair removal chemicals in the product. Users of this product are very satisfied with its performance.
What We Don’t Like About Nair Hair Remover Spray
Some users have bad skin reactions with this Nair product. Although it can be used in the bikini area, this product is absolutely not intended for use on the face.

5. Sally Hansen Hair Remover Lotion
Product Highlights
If you have coarse hair and really, really dislike shaving, then this lotion from long-time beauty product producer Sally Hansen is for you. We found that the Sally Hansen Hair Remover Lotion was the most efficient product for working on extra heavy leg hair.
Features
- Contains vitamin E, aloe, and chamomile
- Works in all areas (except the face)
- Pleasant raspberry-peach scent
- Slows regrowth
What We Like About Sally Hansen Hair Remover Lotion
This is a fantastic product and so easy to use, especially if you have really thick leg hair. We mean, this stuff works like a charm. A lot of Sally Hansen hair removal products are not available now due to shipping issues, but this one is so go get it!

What We Don’t Like About Sally Hansen Hair Remover Lotion
Nothing really to say that is a downside to the lotion. It has a nice scent. However, there are some reports of low-activity products, so it does not appear to have a great shelf life. Just look for dust on the bottle (avoid the dusty ones).
PROS
- Spreads easily
- Tackles coarse hair
- Rinses off easily
- Tested by dermatologists
- Raspberry scent
CONS
- The product does not have a good shelf life (so check the date)
Final Verdict
If we had to go with one product for legs, armpits, the face, and sensitive areas, we would be at a loss. There is no one product that works best in all these locations.
For body hair, you cannot go wrong with any Sally Hansen product and the lotion we have reviewed here is no exception. If for some reason you cannot get the lotion, then our second choice is the Nair spray.
For facial hair treatment, your best bet is the Neomen spray, with Cidbest running a close second.
