EmjoiEpi Slim Epilator - Battery Operated Hair Remover

Had an older one but I broke it so I got a new one and I love this. I use it on my neck and chin and between my eyebrows and it takes them right out. Sometimes around the sides of my mouth but more sensitive but if I pull my skin tight it's OK. I have those thicker longer black and some white hairs that grow out and this works great...then use my flawless over my more sensitive areas like above the lip and cheeks and run it back over my neck to smooth out any short ones. The flawless only cuts them down but this one will pull them out and works great.

I had the version prior to this one and it worked for years. I bought this one to replace it. Works even better. Yes it does sting a little but keep moving it around. So much better than using tweezers. Old age is not for the faint hearted. My daughter will not use it but I bet one day she will.

Please understand that I am someone who regularly has used an epilator for the past 5+ years on my arms, legs and bikini line. (The one I use for that is Emjoi brand, "Soft Caress" anD I love it) but it is about 2.5 inches wide like a shaver so I wanted something small and delicate to use on my face. I first opted for the $70 Braun Face Epilator Facespa Pro 910. I was willing to splurge on a more expensive product because it was for my face, but it was awful- had plastic components and did not pull hair whatsoever. I returned it and opted for this cheaper epilator because it actually had metal components. At first I thought it was useless because i tried it on my arm and knuckles and it did not remove hair at all. I was just about ready to return it when I went ahead and tried it on my face and was surprised to feel that I could tell it as actually pulling hair out. I had to move the epilator much slower and be more deliberate with my stroked that the larger Emjoi I am used to using, but after carefully spending about 30 minutes up close to a magnifying mirror I could tell it was working. The next day my face felt smooth and I could see it had worked. Compared to my Emjoi it is definitely weaker and slower going, but for my face I needed something more delicate and with patience it definitely works. Compared to the $70 Braun one I bought it's worlds better. I do wish it picked up hair a little better on the first pass and I wish it was not only battery operated, but it does work and I do give it a solid 4. Save your money on the products that cost double this one and just get the emjoi!

Sadly, I have a lot of dark coarse whiskers on my chin and jaw line. My usual method of removal is by tweezing and if in a rush a quick shave. The shaving always left a shadow and the tweezing is a tedious task. It's so hard to get the right ligt and close up view. I was skeptical about this product due to reviews.I couldn't be more happy, wish I would have bought one years ago!Leaves my skin undamaged. When I would tweeze I would often get red spots and sometimes even a little blood. This would result in me looking like I had acne so even if the hair was removed I still looked awful. After a week and a few uses of my emjoi my skin is perfect. No shadows either.It does tug a bit but to me, it's not any worse than plucking with a tweezer. Plus, you get the added benefit of losing a few hairs with each semi-ouchy pass. You do have to aim it right and do have to rub over a spot a couple times to get it all but it is very thorough. I used it the day I got it, had a couple days growth. A couple days later I got the slower groing hairs. Now I just have to maintain with a 30 second once over every couple days before I head out of the house. Once you get it started the maintenance to keep it up is minimal.The only place that caused me to wince was the middle of my upper lip below my nose. That's only because I have a lot of fine peach fuzz there. Otherwise, it didn't hurt anymore than tweezing but is so much easier. Totally worth it to me. Even if it breaks every year I'll be happy to buy a replacement because it's inexpensive and I am so happy with it.Going to order one for my legs next.

Terrine, don’t waste your money. It literally pulls zero hair.

I’ve had 2-3 over the last 15-20 years. They just wore out from old age. This unit doesn’t seem to pull soft hairs out as well. Facial hair.

This was the first time I've experienced an epilator, although I have waxed and used tweezers for many years. I used it on my face (cheeks, chin, jaw, upper lip), and it worked great! I'm glad I got it. It left my skin completely free of hair. That said, it does hurt. Actually, it stings -- a lot! It didn't bother me, but I know people for whom it would be too much. The sensation is different from the pain of pulling off wax strips. I found this surprising because both methods pull the hair out by its root. It also left my skin a little red for three days. Right after I used it, the "apples" of my cheeks were pink, like flushed in a pretty way from hiking in hot weather or drinking half a glass of wine. For the next two days the redness was less, but was slightly mottled. The day after that, it was all gone. I believe my good results have to do with technique. I carefully followed the instructions that arrived with the unit. The instructions were clear. A couple of hours before I used the epilator, I washed my face with soap, then didn't put anything on it. When using the unit, I pulled my skin very taut, held the unit at a right angle to my face, and skimmed it over my skin being careful not to press it onto my skin. I think I got a little pink on the apples of my cheeks because they're more difficult to stretch taut and so maybe the tweezers touched my skin there a little. After I used the epilator, I very gently wiped my face with witch hazel. For the next two days I washed it gently with soap, and followed with witch hazel. I tried very hard not to touch my face where it was pink. Even if you keep your hands "clean", they have a lot of bacteria on them. I also cleaned the epilator as instructed.
