Sally Hansen Bleach Cream for Facial & Body Hair | Vegan Formula with Glycerin | All Skin Types

As a woman with dark hair, I have a lot of hair on my face. I've tried various things: dermaplaning, Nair, waxing, threading. They all leave my skin either irritated, red, or just generally feeling gross. I was hesitant because I thought "how much of a difference could simple bleach make?" The answer: A BIG ONE! I mixed the amounts, spread it onto the facial areas I wanted to alter, and left it for about five minutes. Wiped it off and found no irritation or discomfort, no foul smell from the chemicals, and most of all: the hair was lightened to a natural shade! It doesn't feel sticky or uncomfortable the way Nair leaves my skin, the hair is just lightened to a less noticeable shade. I also applied some to my brows to lighten them a fraction (only left it a minute or so) and the general outcome is that my overall appearance is softer now. I'm so happy I tried this!

As someone who has tried various at-home bleaching products, I was intrigued by the promise of "extra strength." The packaging is straightforward, containing a cream, an activator powder, a mixing tray, and a spatula. The instructions are clear and easy to mix. The mixture has a noticeable but not overpowering scent. Applying the bleach was kinda tricky at first because once you cover a spot you can’t fix it no more. I primarily used this product for facial hair. I left the bleach on for the recommended 8-10 minutes but found it didn’t work since my hair is really dark so I left it for an extra 5 mins. The product was effective. After rinsing, the hair was lightened to a pale blonde, almost disappearing against my skin tone. It worked exactly as advertised, successfully bleaching even the thicker hairs. However, I did notice a slight tingling sensation during the process, which is to be expected with a product of this nature. My skin was a little red immediately after, but this subsided within an hour. Value & Conclusion: For its price, the Sally Hansen Extra Strength Creme Bleach offers excellent value. A single box provides multiple applications, making it a very cost-effective solution for managing unwanted hair. It delivers on its promise of fast, effective bleaching. While the "extra strength" formula might be a bit intense for very sensitive skin, the instructions advise doing a patch test, which is a crucial step to avoid any severe irritation. Overall, it's a reliable and efficient product that I would recommend to anyone looking for an affordable and quick solution for bleaching body or facial hair.

This body hair bleach is a great foundational product for eyebrow lightening. It’s easy to use for beginners but can also be enhanced with some advanced knowledge. I have dark brown 3B/3C textured hair that I highlight. In an attempt to soften my facial features I decided to use this bleach to lighten my eyebrows for better flow with my hair. I left this product on for 7 minutes and achieved three shades of even lift. Ultimately I thought the ends of my brows were too light. I used blue shampoo and a blue hair toner to bring down my brows one level. The toner and shampoo are the products I use to maintain my highlights. If you decide to tone your brows down a level keep in mind over time face wash will wash the toner out of your brows, so be sure to periodically reapply toner to maintain results. My application was as follows: 1: Cleanse eyebrows. 2: Mix product 1:1 ratio. 3: Apply product to hair with spatula, then use a disposable eyelash spoolie to brush product through. 4: Cover with cling film to promote even lightening ( the cling film helps the bleach heat evenly which makes the color lift more consistent). 5: Leave on for desired time (I could generally see the hair color without doing a patch check but you can if you want too). 6: Rinse product out with warm water and wash with a clarifying soap or shampoo (the warm water ensures all product is washed from the follicle of the hair shaft and allows the cleansing shampoo to penetrate). 7: Rinse clarifying product with cool water and then process as desired (cool water will seal the follicle you can also finish with hair oil to soften and nourish post processing) Optional Steps 8: Work blue shampoo into the brows and let sit for 5 minutes. 9: Use cool water to wash shampoo out. 10: Spray toner into two drops of hair oil (I used Moroccan oil) and work through the brows

I've been using facial bleach for the hairs on my upper lip for years instead of waxing, and have gone through various brands and forms. I generally do prefer the cream bleaches because they're less messy and faster to use (the ones that come with the powder take time to dissolve), so I was really excited that Sally Hansen came out with an all cream version because they're the brand that's easiest to find locally or online. The product works great! As long as it's mixed in about even proportions, my sensitive skin doesn't have any issues when the product is on for the recommended time. The only issue I have after using this product for the past couple of months is that the tip of the bottle for one of the creams has twisted off inside the cap. So now I'm storing the bottle with the cap side up so that it doesn't spill out and hopefully it doesn't dry up before I get to use what's left in the bottle.

It definitely works. It can sometimes give a burning sensation, but it didn’t irritate my skin. Keep away from eye area!

BEST ONE EVER!!! I’ve been using this for 4+ years, I will never use any other brand. I have dark brown hair and a lottt of it. Yes it starts tingling your arms and you gotta wave them around a little towards the end. But it is not unbearable at all. I just keep checking my hair by swiping my finger until I get the color I want then wash off. It’s so quick and easy love love love!!!

Works really well. Just leave on for no longer than 10 mins. Doesn’t burn either

Ich hatte etwas Respekt vor dem Produkt, da ich Bleichmitteln eher sehr skeptisch gegenüber stehe... Meine Haut hat die inzwischen mehrmaligen Anwendungen aber immer sehr gut überstanden, obwohl ich zu Neurodermitis neige. Man darf es eben nicht zu lang drauf lassen und sollte vorher eine empfindliche Stelle mit dem Mittel testen. Ich habe es sogar schon wieder nachbestellt, weil es doch eine sehr gute Alternative zum ständigen Rasieren darstellt. Die Haut ist nach der Anwendung ganz leicht heller als vorher, das verschwindet aber nach einigen Stunden. Die Haare am Arm oder im Gesicht sind langanhaltend aufgehellt und damit quasi unsichtbar, obwohl meine natürliche Haarfarbe sehr dunkles Braun ist. Ich kann das Produkt empfehlen. Schade nur, dass es so eine lange Lieferzeit aus den USA hat.

Funciona perfecto! Lo utilicé en mis cejas por 8min y quedó muy sutil

I’d like me you had been using the boots Hair Lightener cream that just stopped working entirely because they stupidly changed the formula, then this is what you need! Works in exactly 8mins and I have very thick, dark Indian facial hair. Have been so self conscious as the Boots one didn’t work for months and Jolene always made me get a burning sensation on my face so I was desperate for a product that worked. So glad I read the reviews and bought this. It is ofc pricier but I was desperate for a fix to my fake facial hair.

Funciona muy bien, rápido comenzó a aclarar y nada de irritaciones

Proprio quello che cercavo. Ottimo prodotto per schiarire la peluria. Attenzione, da leggere istruzioni! Consiglio! Basta baffetti :-) Basta peluria ,schiarisce perfettamente!
