I want to share with you my experience with veet. I used it to remove hairs from my body and I got severely burned. I only applied the smelly(smells good at first, but then the depilatory smell comes out) cream to my upper body. I do not have sensitive skin. Well, I should say, I DIDN’T have sensitive skin. The burning sensation started immediately. Anyway, I put it on, waited 2.5 minutes, turned the shower on, and started rinsing the first let at exactly 3 minutes. Burning burning burning. It felt like I was scraping off my skin with the fake little razor. Under the cream, it was bright red.
Now, almost 12 hours later, I have what looks like scratches and red welts. My skin is basically solid red and VERY painful. At the moment I have cold wash clothes stuck on the wound.
So I just went online and googled Veet, and guess what I found? A million sites with testimonies of chemical burns from instruction-followers like myself. I even found this crazy petition to have Veet banned from the shelves. I did find a few people that had successful results, but I don’t see how.
I had blisters for some days and it took 3 weeks to heal the wound. After that I have left scars on my body. I am uploading the pictures so you can see for yourself.
Don’t use it is dangerous!
