i cant comment on its affectiveness as a hair removal product as i gave up after one attempted. i mixed it with safflower oil as instructed to make a paste, for me i dont like the smell and my legs looked like i had a fake tan mishap. its extremely messy and has stained my pj bottoms. if i had to liken this experience to anything it would be massaging wallpaper paste into my legs for ten mins, after ten mins my hands and legs were sore and there was balls of it all over the floor. i couldnt stand the smell so washed it off not longer after, which took some doing and my nails were stained for 2 days. it could just be i didnt do it right and the stuff could be brilliant but i just havent got the time or patients to do this for 100 days
