5.0 out of 5 stars A Lifesaver for Me, December 18, 2007

To use this product, one has to accept that most methods of hair removal are painful. No, the Emjoi Tweeze is not painless, but if you want to rip your hair out by the roots - whether by tweezing or waxing - don't be shocked if it ends up hurting!

Why do I like this product so much? Other reviewers have said that a regular tweezer works just as well. That might be true, but if you want to remove more than a few hairs, regular tweezing is time-consuming and frustrating. Also, it is hard to get pefectly hairless skin with a regular tweezer.

Waxing and tweezing are not options for me because a hormonal problem causes the hair to grow back very quickly. I can't wax or tweeze often enough. Also, I have very sensitive skin that reacts adversely to those methods of hair-removal.

Using the Emjoi Tweeze has been a lifesaver for me. I use the Tweeze once a week for about 10 minutes. I use it on my upper lip and chin and a little bit on the sides of my face. Because my skin is also prone to breakouts, I clean my skin well and then apply hydrogen peroxide with a cotton ball. I do this both before and after hair-removal. I use an oil-free moisturizer a little later on to prevent the peroxide from drying out my skin.

This kind of hair removal can sometimes cause an ingrown hair problem, and I do have that problem when I use an epilator on my legs, but I do not have any ingrown hairs on my face at all from using the Tweeze. For those who do have ingrown hairs, there are lotions that claim to solve that.

About the pain:
This does hurt, especially on the upper lip (which would hurt just as much if waxing, for example). However, the key to using this device is being consistent. I can't stress this enough. If you use an epilator once in a while when you're in the mood for smooth skin, it will hurt a lot. But if you use it consistently - say once a week - after the third week or so, the pain will be greatly diminished. Use it even if only a few hairs grew back. Don't wait until it's "worth it" for you to take out the epilator, because by the time you wait for that to happen, you'll be at the point where it will hurt a lot.

I have found that using the Tweeze consistently accomplishes three things:
1. It becomes less painful with time.
2. Hairs grow back more slowly.
3. Hairs are easier to remove. The process is much, much quicker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Good for me., April 14, 2006

This little gadget really gets the job done for removing hairs from the facial area. Ok, I'll admit that it does hurt a little, but so does tweezing. I used to dread looking under my chin for facial hairs and pulling out the tweezers. Now, I just pull out my emjoi and in a few minutes or so I am done. It hurts a little more above the lip area, but tweezing and shaving is even worse. The best part is staying hairless for a week or so. It doesn't make the hair grow in thicker at all. Today, I am purchasing one for each of my sisters. So if you can handle just a little bit of temporary uncomfort for a few minutes, go for it. What a time saver, a great product and an excellent price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for upper lip hair but keep your tweezer!, September 17, 2006

This is best for my upper lip fine hair but useless for sparse, stubby, thick hair that often sprouts on the chin. So don't throw your tweezer just yet!
