Arrow OK, so about these creams/moisturisers that are suppose to retard/slow hair growth...

I so far know of 'biore moisturising lotion',, and what im asking is what others are there?
and what do u girls who have tried them think of them?

Im in AUS by the way, so if anyone specifically in aus knows of any good ones that would be great!

also im looking to use it on my legs and bikini area.. would it still work or are they only meant for ur face???

thanks chickies

There is a product called Jergens Naturally Smooth Shave Minimizing Moisturizer that is for use all over the body. It says it works great on legs and bikini area. You are to use it every day on the areas that you shave and it gives a little chart type thing on the back as to the results you will see and how long it will take. I haven't really used it enough to know how well it works, but I thought I would share. Good luck.

I use the Jergens lotion on my legs. I started using it maybe last July or August. I keep up with it pretty faithfully and I've noticed a big difference in the hair growth on my legs. I shave maybe once a week now, if that. I went home for Christmas break and didn't shave for two weeks and I had huge bald patches on my legs where the hair just isn't growing anymore! And I'm quite the hairy person (lol), so if it works for me it should work for anyone!

Default tried biore

i've tried the biore stuff i dont think it works at all, not bad for a moisturizer but it didn't work to minimize the hair.
still searching for something that does.

I used the Biore lotion on my face and it worked pretty well. I got it at Walgreens for about $5. The only thing I didn't like, and the reason I stopped using it, was that it made the hairs on my chin so fine that they were difficult to pluck.
