No. 2: Sally Hansen No-Heat Gel Hair Remover For Face and Body, $10.99 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 2.6*
Why: Readers found this product impossible to work with. "The wax is very messy and gets hard really fast. As soon as I put it on my skin it hardened. It peeled off like a sticker, which means it didn't grab ANY hair," one reader says. Another adds, "This didn�t work at all. I followed the directions exactly, and I tried it multiple times. Nothing. The gel is gooey and messy and it doesn't take off anything." One reader says the product "removed not one single hair" but it did "break a bunch of blood vessels on my leg."

Very helpful article. I'm looking for a better way to remove hair and now I know what I should avoid on my next trip to the drugstore.

The Schick Intuition was not the best razor I have ever used, but I did like it because it made shaving super fast because you didn't have to mess around with shave gel.

GREAT AND HELPFUL TIP'S. I AGREE CHEAP RAZOR'S LEAVE ME VERY UNSATISFIED.

I would never use the one on the second page. I have it and its from a long time ago. I'm scared to even use it.

I used Skin so soft by Avon and it did not work at all.

This slide show was so helpful, and I'm very glad I've never used ANY of these products!(:
