Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wasted money and never going to buy again or recommend someone to buy this cheap worthless product.

The Phillips Series 5000 Facial Hair Remover is a handy tool to have around for those unsightly hairs that pop up. It is small and very lightweight, perfect to carry around if you have a more oversized purse or definitely for travel. It has a light that comes on during operation to illuminate the target area. This unit was ready to go out of the box - all I had to do was put the battery in, and it was ready for action. The operation is simple: turn it on and start attacking hairs. As far as hair removal goes, it works okay. Longer hairs took a few passes to remove; however, shorter hairs came off in one or two passes. Hair removal is entirely painless, a huge plus compared to epilation, IPL, or waxing! When using this in a brightly lit bathroom mirror, the light wasn't adequate. For me, hair grew back fairly quickly - though everyone's experiences will be different when dealing with personal grooming. I will definitely keep this around as a maintenance tool and something to take on trips; however, based on performance, I will still stick to waxing for regular removal and use this in between waxings for touch-ups.

I was pleasantly surprised with how wonderfully gentle this Phillips facial hair removal device was on my skin. I had use in the past two different types of facial hair removal tools and was not happy with how it sometimes cut my skin or all together would just stop working all of the sudden. Before getting my Phillips facial hair removal; I would have to use my tweezers to remove my facial hair. That can be a super long process of tweezing each hair individually which has been such a hassle for me. I am glad to now have a really useful quick tool like the Phillips hair removal; moreover, not only did I find that it was gentle on my sensitive skin but the whole process was quick and simple. When I received the product I found the instructions fairly easy to follow. The little brush that it comes with is great to clean the hair removal head. This device is great to remove hairs on my upper lip and chin and my forehead with no pain at all and it leaves my skin feeling smooth. I really like the light that this little tool has; it allows me to see the area I am working on. The mirror is cute however, I see it being more of use when I'm on the go and I don't have a chance to use my Phillips facial hair removal at home and need a quick trimming. I'm very happy with my simplistic tool; it's exactly what I wanted! If you're looking for something that's simple that can remove your facial hair in a breeze then this is the perfect tool for you.

The Philips Series 5000 Facial Hair remover works well to remove unwanted facial hair. It is gentle and quite effective to make that weird lady ‘stache that we get as we get older go away. I’m personally not a fan of shaving with a razor, bleaching, or waxing my sensitive upper lip, the Philips Series 5000 Facial hair remover was able to very quickly get rid of the hair I can’t stand seeing in the mirror without aggravating my skin. The included mirror is small you can use it but it’s not the easiest to see in it. The Philips Series 5000 Facial hair remover doesn’t have a rechargeable battery which for me can be a con, the AA battery will give you a lot of use before you have to change it, I just personally prefer a rechargeable battery. The Philips Series 5000 Facial hair remover is very effective, quiet, and easy to use. Overall I like using the Philips Series 5000 Facial hair remover, it takes care of my unwanted weird lady facial hair in a gentle way with no irritation or aggravating my skin.

The Philips Series 5000 Facial Hair Remover is basically a single-headed electric razor similar to a man’s electric shaver. However, that’s where the similarity ends, as this is designed for grooming of the finer facial hair of women. It’s fairly small and lightweight, fitting easily in a shallow bathroom cabinet drawer or discretely in a purse for traveling. It uses a single AA battery that is included, so there are no bulky chargers or tangled cords to mess with. It does come with a cleaning brush to clean the shaving head, but there isn’t a case to keep the shaver and brush conveniently together. My wife thinks it works great on her face and makes applying makeup so much smoother and easier after removing the fine hairs. The single head makes it easy to get into tight places. Cleaning is a breeze, just twist off the shaving head and either give it a good blow with your breath or use the brush to remove any stubborn debris. The LED light is helpful to see but the mirror is pretty tiny and better to use a larger lighted magnifying mirror on a stand for best results. I suppose the mirror could come in handy when traveling. For the price and portability, it’s easy to give this tiny shaver five stars.

This Philips Series 5000 Facial Hair Remover is a basic little shaver, but is easy-to-use and works great. I have a similar type device (of another brand), but in all honestly, I prefer this Philips. As an older woman, from time to time I need to remove some pesky facial hair around my upper lip area and the underside of my chin. This facial hair remover does so with a nice quiet 'hum', and provides a pleasant smooth non-irritating shave. There are several features on this shaver worth noting. The light ring is more than bright enough to see what you're doing, but not too bright for your eyes. The cap has a mirror which comes in handy if you don't happen to be near a full-sized bathroom or vanity mirror. It also comes with a tiny brush to clean out the hair collected from inside the head chamber. A cool minor detail found on the mirror cap is a small flat 'stand' which allows the shaver to rest upon a surface, and to stay put or not roll all over. However, as this personal facial hair remover is designed to be ultra-portable and travel friendly, it would be nice if it came with a simple fabric sheath which would help protect the shaver. Do I recommend this Philips Series 5000 Facial Hair Remover? Yes.

I got this for my wife who sometimes has very fine hair growth on her face. Since this shaver is catered to women, it worked as expected. It gently removed the hair with no issue. It seemed to also help when it came to applying makeup with smoother skin. For the low price and the excellent results, there isn’t much to complain about. I would prefer it to have an internal rechargeable battery but that is a minor flaw. There is a mirror included in the cap, although it is small. However, it is better than having no mirror at all, especially if you are out and about and feel the need for a quick shave but have no other mirror handy. Although we haven’t owned it that long, it is touted as having self-sharpening blades which should make it last for quick some time. Again, with a low price, this is a great perk for longevity. Also, according to the description on the Best Buy website, there is a 24-month warranty which is exceptional considering the low price of the shaver. Overall, this is recommended for any lady that wants a nice smooth face.

The Phillips Facial Hair Remover Mini rasoir visage 5000 is a pretty decent hair removal tool. I've never owned a fancy facial hair razor before. As I have aged, and due to hormonal changes I have grown a slight mustache. I never thought about shaving my mustache because I had always heard that if you shave it, it would grow back thicker. At first I would use my husband's clean nose hair clippers to keep it away. Then I decided to do a home waxer. That didn't work well because it was pulling skin away also. So here I am trying the Phillips facial hair remover. I used it on slightly damp skin. It will take several passes to actually remove the facial hair. I followed instructions and used circular movement. It took about 3-5 minutes to make my upper lip smooth. This item ships with the Phillips facial hair remover, a battery, and a cleaning brush. There is a mirror on the removable cap and the device has a light to help when removing facial hair. Overall I really like this facial hair removal tool.

The Philips Series 5000 Facial Hair Remover is not so much a "remover" as it is a "shaver." Those who are hoping for something to gently pluck their excess facial hair should look elsewhere (if there even is an elsewhere to look). I am a mid-40s woman who has long dealt with some thicker scraggly chin hairs. Most of my neck is covered in peach fuzz, but it doesn't really much bother me. My main method of dealing with said chin hairs has been to pluck them with great care while looking in a mirror after a shower. Yes, this causes some pain and discomfort, but it generally gets the job done well, with no leftover stubble to feel poking through my skin. I was excited to try the 5000 series facial hair remover because I thought it would mean some respite from the quasi-regular plucking and discomfort, but I was a bit let down to discover this is essentially just a single-microfoil shaver. That being said, the Philips 5000 does a decent job, it's just not as thorough as plucking, and opens up a can of worms in that it puts you on the road to daily shaving. I'm not quite ready to go there yet, but I will probably be someday, and when that time comes, I will use this and can say "this thing is decent." It is extremely simple to use, and does do a pain-free job of shaving hairs off, and with some motion and coaxing, can result in a pretty close shave. I like how compact it is, which makes it ultra portable. The mirror on the cap is also a nice touch. I don't like that the LED light isn't very bright (my aging eyes need a brighter light to truly see what's going on down there). All-in-all, this is a decent option, but not life-changing. I recommend it if you're at the age to need a daily or almost-daily touch up.

This little guy packs a punch. I was surprised at how small it is even though its a facial hair remover so it needs to be small. It definitely does the trick. I wouldn't say this is groundbreaking, new technology, but the manufacturer does it well. I have used a razor before to get the peach fuzz off but never used an electric shaver. Luckily I only have peach fuzz but it does the trick quickly. The only complaints I have about this device is that it is louder than expected, doesn't always get the hair the first time around, and the battery access is the same as the on/off switch. I expected the device to be a little quieter since its small but it wasn't. Don't get me wrong, it's not extremely loud, but I can't use it when my fiancé is sleeping in the room next to me. I generally have to make multiple passes to get everything smooth. In order to change out the batteries, you twist the bottom cap and it pops open. The problem is that you turn the device on and off by twisting that same cap, so I'm constantly accidentally popping the batteries out of it. Overall, it is a good device that will get the job done. It has a little mirror on the cap that makes it great to travel with and the batteries are easy to replace.

As I’ve aged, facial hair has become a source of annoyance. It is challenging to remove. I hoped this Philips remover would be a great solution. It is just okay. I found that it charges easily and I appreciate not having to add batteries. The device is round with a flat lid. If you lay it down on its side, it can very easily roll off and fall to the floor. I know because it happened. Fortunately it didn’t break. It will store upright sitting on its head so it takes less space. The bottom is narrower than the head so that you can hold it easily, but the thicker top is what I usually grasp so the grip feels awkward. I love the lighted feature, one of the best features of the device. The shave itself left my skin feeling very slightly irritated, almost like the head scratched a tiny bit. I found that it wouldn’t get all the hairs requiring multiple passes. The worst part was that the very next morning, the stubble was visible. My other similarly made device is smoother and gets a cleaner cut without irritation and allows me to go several days without a touch up. This Philips wouldn’t be my first choice.

The Philips Series 5000 Facial Hair Remover is a great little hair remover. It is incredibly gentle and super effective at removing even the finest hair for a really smooth face. The hypoallergenic head is a nice feature. Other products have irritated my skins, however this hair remover left no irritation which was great. I was starting to think a product didn't exist that would provide that type of result. The LED light is super helpful to make sure you are using the product where you intend to use it. Some LED lights are a little harsh, however this one is perfect so you don't blind yourself while trying to gently remove facial hair. There is a built in mirror on the lid of the hair remover which seems a little pointless and oddly placed. I prefer to use a regular mirror though so for folks that may like having the tiny mirror built-in that could be a helpful feature. The product does include a battery so you are ready to go out of the package and there is a little brush included to help keep the product clean which is a new tool to include. Overall, I like the facial hair remover. It's super gentle and effective so I would highly recommend it.

Got this for the wife because, in her own words, was starting to feel like Magnum PI and reviewed by both of us. Set up was super simple, insert battery and go. She’s used it twice now and said it’s good for about an every two week use. The LED light makes seeing what you’re doing easy, a built in mirror in the cap, which she really likes and of course the color, she digs it big time!! This is a lightweight device, (1/2 pound) for dry shaving use only, do not use in the shower as you will destroy it. Working in small strokes she was able to easily remove any unwanted face fuzz. Not once did get nicked, hair grabbed or cut. It was so good she wishes she could use it on her leg hair but the manual warms it’s not designed for coarse hair. Lastly the blades have a self sharpening system so it’ll always perform at peak. There’s no carrying case but since it’s so small it can fit into small purse easily, it will not fit in a clutch. Wife’s ecstatic about having this and I’m happy she’s not plucking her face to death anymore.

Another product that just works. I am very pleasantly surprised by this little tool. I normally go the dermaplane route for removing all the peach fuzz, which this tool is perfect for. It's important to note that the Philips Series 5000 Facial Hair Remover is not as effective on thicker hairs, it is a great option for those with fine to medium hair. It is also important to note that the device requires regular cleaning to maintain its performance. I've used epilators in the past and they were a painful experience. The Philips Facial Hair Remover is very gentle, yet effective at removing unwanted facial hair. The hypoallergenic head is designed to be gentle on sensitive skin, and the built-in LED light helps to ensure that all hairs are removed. I did notice that you need to use slow, circular motions to effectively remove all the hair. The compact and portable design makes it easy to take with you on the go, and it is easy to clean. I also appreciated that it doesn't need to be charged. With the included AA battery, it was usable right away. One thing this tool doesn't accomplish, that dermaplaning does, is removing dead skin. For that reason, I will not completely give up dermaplaning. Overall, the Philips Series 5000 Facial Hair Remover is a great value for the price. It is a gentle and effective way to remove unwanted facial hair, and it is easy to use and maintain.

The Phillips series 5000 Facial Hair Remover is a shaver specifically designed for women's delicate skin. It has a small surface area that allows to get the upper lip and under the nose without issue. It works great on the upper lip, chin and cheeks and jaw line, but on the cheeks, I kind of wish its surface area was a bit bigger. Just my personal preference but it does work great as is. It's a bit on the louder side for its size but not so loud as some electric men's models. It does shave well without pulling or causing pain at the shaver site. I thought the mirror is just too small, but it would be great for others I suppose that have better eyes than myself. That being said, with the name Phillips Series 5000 Facial Hair remover, I wasn't expecting a shaver, but perhaps an epilator or maybe a laser hair remover. I was a bit disappointed that the name didn't give an honest representation of what the device actually was. My first part of the review is reviewing what I received. I wish the name was not misleading. This is why I gave three stars.

I bought this Phillips Series 5000 Facial Hair Remover to get those pesky hairs that show up on my chin. I am really glad that I did because it is a quick and very easy way to get rid of those hairs. It works great and it takes some time for them to show up again. I use it on my "mustache" as well. I highly recommend this little hair remover.

I had high hopes for the Philips 5000 Facial Hair Remover as I like my other Philips personal care products. However, those hopes weren't realized. Then again, I'm an old broad with saggy skin. In the places on my face where I could pull the skin taut enough, it worked fine. Problem is I couldn't do that for all areas I need the hair remover. So, instead of feeling smooth skin, I feel stubble. I couldn't see the stubble in the mirror, but I could feel it. It would probably work well on younger skin or for someone who has tighter skin. I originally gave it three stars as I feel it is pretty average for this type of facial hair remover but it does have one feature that impressed me -- it is painless. I found a few stray hairs that were more than stubble on my cheek and figured why not try it. It mowed those puppies down without it feeling like they were being ripped out. Now the saggy skin factor did kick in, but this is the first pain free facial hair remover I've tried. So it earned an extra star. I think if someone has older, looser skin, they should be aware that while their skin might not feel smooth; it will look it.

I really like my facial hair remover~~~finally found one that does the job!

A very convenient and cool thing. I’m extremely happy with this purchase, I recommend it to everyone.
