The Worst: No. 2: Sally Hansen Spray-On Shower-Off Hair Remover, $7.99
TotalBeauty.com average user rating: 3.6*

Why: "It's difficult to call this a hair remover," says one dissatisfied user. "You spray it on, let it burn you for a couple of minutes and then -- voila, you still have hairy legs." Another reader describes the product as "itchy" and said her skin became "irritated" after using it. "It took almost half a can to cover my legs and barely removed any of the hair," agrees another reviewer.

Why: "Surprisingly ... Nair's regular cream gives me less problems than this sensitive version," says one unhappy reader. Another reader says that the product "stings," "burns" and left her upper lip covered in "bumps." Another swears, "I will never use this product again."

Why it's great: "I can't stand the pain and redness of wax, so this is a great alternative," says one happy reader. "It's simple to use and has the perfect applicator on the tip to apply the product without getting your hands and fingers all gooey." One reviewer admits, "This cream does smell just as bad as other hair removal creams [but] works much better than [others] I've tried."
