Braun FaceSpa Face Epilator for Women, Hair Removal with Facial Cleansing Brush Head, 100% Waterproof, SE810, White

I am generally quite sceptical of grooming devices specifically for the face and have made do with a pair of tweezers for this sensitive area for most of my life, but I decided to buy this product due to it's claims of being speedy, and because I have owned a more conventional epilator by Braun before that has never let me down. So far, I've only used the device once or twice, and will leave another review in a couple of months to provide some more clarity.I am very happy with it at this early stage. I'm by no means unused to epilation on the skin so can't judge how painful it would feel to someone not used to the pulling sensations - only that the tiny epilator head feels gentle enough and is easy to manipulate around really tricky areas above and below the brow - an absolute win for me, as it takes ages to manually groom thick eyebrows with tweezers! It is indeed speedy and effective and I couldn't be more pleased.Though I bought this thing for the epilator alone really, I did try out the cleansing brush attachment and was shocked at how effective that was as well. I tend to wear foundations at least 5 days a week and need to be careful to keep the T-zone of my face clean as this is a problem area for spots and blocked pores. The brush worked beautifully at helping apply my current cleanser and though it sounds rather silly: my face felt really good after my cleansing routine was done, (glowing would be the word). I am seriously impressed here, this is finally a device with an attachment that I won't simply keep in my cupboard and completely forget about: both the epilator and the brush parts have proven to be quick and effective alternatives to manual tweezing, which is glacially slow, and using wash cloths to help with makeup removal, which pull the skin about too much and can actually cause fine lines. The attachments are easy to clean, but I have made a note to be mindful of keeping any moisture out of the main parts as certain reviews I have seen online suggest it isn't as waterproof as intended.Overall, I am hopeful that this device will continue to prove reliable in the coming months and continue to knock time off my cleansing/tweezing routines. If the good results remain (and my face continues to glow like it has been doing!), I'd wager it'll be hard going finding a better facial epilator on the market at this price range.

I’ve tried various methods for years to remove unwanted upper lip hair. Hair removal cream is rubbish and always leaves some hairs behind. Also irritating to skin. Waxing worked but the area is red for 24 hrs after, it hurts, leaves dry patches and forget it in summer or you’ll have a different coloured moustache zone. So for maybe 5 years I’ve just given up and half heartedly plucked a few at the corners of my mouth while crying silently. Because ouch.I dubiously bought this after reading the top few negative reviews and decided I’d return it if it was terrible, but I have avoided epilators forever since I bought a crappy leg epilator in 2007 and it hurt so much I threw it away, so expectations were very low. Well what can I say, this thing worked SO WELL!Firstly, yeah it hurts a bit. But if you’re a regular tweezer, it’s not half as bad as individually plucking! It plucks like 30 at once and the numbness sets in pretty quickly. I’d say if individual tweezing is an 8/10 on the pain barometer then this is more like a 5-6. Secondly, it not only got rid of the longer hairs but also removed those annoying tiny blond hairs too- completely smooth. Thirdly, my upper lid was red afterwards, but it disappeared after a few hours (helped with a cold flannel).I’m just really happy with the results. No more hours of painful tweezing for me, no sir. Give me a few minutes of less painful epilating with this tool and I am very, very happy. Highly recommended for fellow tweezer users who get depressed every time they have to get the tweezers out.

I decided on a whim a couple of weeks ago that I was tired of bleaching my top lip and went at it with my body epilator… It hurt like hell and I couldn’t do the middle part of my lip because it was too painful and the epilator was too cumbersome. After bleaching the middle part and once the irritation had gone down, it didn’t look too ridiculous! But I decided that a face epilator would probably be better.I got this one on sale at £40 and I wouldn’t have wanted to pay more for it. It’s a pretty simple bit of kit - small epilator head on an ergonomic wand, battery operated. I don’t have much use for the cleansing head, but I might give it a go sometime.I’ve just used the epilator for the first time and I’m pretty happy with it! It was a lot gentler than a body epilator and dealt with the hair on my upper lip well. It says to go against the direction of hair, but I found that for the middle of my lip, going with the hair was less painful and still did the job. It struggled a little more on my chin where I have some courser hairs, but I can live with still having to pluck a few.I have sensitive skin, so at the moment it’s red and a bit puffy, but definitely not as bad as when I used my body epilator and it’s going down pretty quickly. I expect I’ll have a few tiny whiteheads tomorrow as that’s what my skin tends to do, but as long as I leave them be they’ll go away. Definitely something to do when you’re not planning to go out immediately!All in all, I’m pretty happy! It was quick, relatively painless (if you’ve never epilated before though, then it will probably be pretty painful!), and easy to use. One minor gripe is that the epilator head got quite hot pretty quickly, so I had to turn it off for a few minutes to let it cool down.

This device works well to remove hair on the face. Not too painful either. Only a little redness which had gone by the morning. When I first turned it on the head rotated very quickly and it pulled the hairs out fast. I had only used it about 15 mins and the head started to feel much hotter and the spinning slowed down. I decided to leave the rest until the next night. The head spun much slower and did not remove the hairs as well. I changed the battery the next time I used it but sadly it is still spinning slower and not as effective at pulling the hairs out.

Good quality. Does the job
