    Color charts need adjusting

    This did not work for my skin color. According to their charts it should have. I am a medium to lighter skin toned black women. I didn’t even try to use it until I was passed the the return window and BB would not accommodate. It thankfully Phillips did. If you have hyperpigmentation under your arms it will not work.just thought I’d let you know since so many women of color have this in various areas.

    Does not work to remove/eliminate hair. Been using for many months. Did not seem to slow growth of hair, either. Recommend going to get a real IPL treatment(s) if you want serious hair reduction.

    Disappointed with Best Buy’s Return Policy

    I was really disappointed with my purchase. I ordered the item twice, and both times I received used products. To make matters worse, when I returned them, I was given a gift card without my consent. Their return policy seems unreasonable, and I no longer trust Best Buy.

    I guess my hair is too pale, I thought it would pick it up but it didn’t :( I did notice though that it made my hair a little softer, so it wasn’t completely disappointing. I ended up loaning it to my friend who is going to try it instead.

    This product is very simple to use, painless, quick and effective. I can't believe how fast this has slowed the growth of my hair (underarm, bikini, legs). I wish I'd invested in this years ago instead of wasting $$$ on waxing treatments and time on waxing myself at home. I did this once a week for 4 weeks and haven't needed to shave my underarms since buying it (apart from the pre-treatment shave). I'm now cutting it back to every two or three weeks as I don't need to do it so often.
