Will this product affect how my hair grows back?
No, it doesn’t affect the rate your hair grows back, nor the thickness of the hair shaft. Depilatories contain ingredients that work by breaking the chemical bonds that hold hair together. The bonds give hair strength and structure, so when you break these bonds, the hair can easily be washed/wiped away and removed.

How does depilatory cream compare to razor shaving?
Depilatory creams work by dissolving the hair just below the surface of the skin whereas shaving sharply cuts the hair off at the skin surface. This means you’re not left with unattractive prickly stubble whilst the Nair™ creams help moisturise and exfoliate your skin.

How does a depilatory cream work?
In three ways:
1. Unlike a razor, depilatory products remove hair just below the skin surface. Hairs emerge from pores – and depilatories dissolve both visible hair and some of the hair in the pore. This means it takes longer for the hair to grow back.

2. A depilatory acts as an exfoliant, removing unwanted dead (often rough) skin cells on your skin surface.
3. Many depilatories (including all Nair™ depilatories) contain moisturising agents, such as Baby Oil, Almond Oil and Aloe Vera, which assist in giving you softer, smoother skin. -
What are the benefits of depilatory creams?
Depilatory creams will give you smoother skin for days longer than shaving. However, the follicle is not removed from the root, being only removed at or slightly below skin level. Also, as it is chemical based, you’re advised to not leave creams on your skin longer than advised on the pack.

Irritation or allergic reactions may occur with some people even after prior use without adverse effects. The skin composition also frequently changes.

What is a depilatory cream?
Depilation (means ‘removing the hair’). A depilatory is simply a cream or lotion for removing unwanted hair. A strong, alkaline based cream is placed on the hair and reacts with the protein structure of the hair to break down the hair follicle, until it turns jelly-like. The depilatory hair removal process takes between 3 – 10 minutes before it can be easily wiped off with a warm towel or washed off with water. It’s considered to be a fast, inexpensive and easy method of hair removal.
