Now, in 2023, hair-removal creams are actually the quickest, easiest way to smooth, hairless skin—without the physical/emotional trauma. Luckily, Jolen was designed with that in mind, with a clever application process created for those who wouldn’t usually dare touch the stuff. A spatula is included for easier application, and, after five minutes, you can start to see the cream get to work.

Beth Gillette is the beauty editor at Cosmopolitan, where she covers skincare, makeup, hair, nails, and more across digital and print. As her 2024 goal, she has vowed to find the best (extra) dirty martini NYC has to offer—and yes, that means ~attempting~ to try every cute cocktail spot in the city (hit her up with some recs, pls). Bonus: It comes with a hydrating balm to use after you remove hair, which will leave you with majorly silky skin.These depilatory creams need to be balanced on the pH scale, or else your skin will get dry and irritated if it has too much acid.

And, thanks to its added mix of moisturizers (hi, urea, aloe, shea butter, and cocoa butter), your skin will be left feeling softer and smoother, too. While we were impressed with all those we tested, Woo Woo just nicked the top spot, thanks to its rapid results, wide-reaching areas and the fact you can use it in the shower.I always check the packaging on my hair-removal cream to make sure it’s safe for my bikini line (and my favorites for this area are the Bikini Zone Hair-Removal Treatment Kit and the Nad’s Sensitive Hair-Removal Cream). It also comes with a moisturizing face lotion that's filled with plumping collagen and moisturizing vitamin E to keep your delicate facial skin looking glowy. It's sensitive enough for my skin (only used once a week and a max of 10 mins to leave the mask on). THE REVIEWS: One review reads, “I shaved previously the night before, but I went ahead and applied this on both pits and waited the allotted amount of time. This depilatory cream comes with shea butter and rosehip oil, which are one of the best ingredients you can expect in a quality depilatory cream.
