This product works very well but it is painful. After using it on my legs, I didn't need a touch up for 3 weeks.
Not Bad...

I personally have suffered with facial hair for a very long time and this product has helped immensely. The only problem I have is that it made my face break out a little bit. I would reccommend it to anyone who wants to get rid of their facial hair.
Worth the pain!

After reading all the reviews, I purchased this product instead of trying laser hair removal. I made the mistake of shaving a few hairs from my chin years ago, and have been stuck shaving them ever since, and the re-growth has always been a real embarassment for me. The epislim did a great job removing most of the hair, although it took me a little time, and became painful after a while, but it has definately been an improvement for me! It's not a magic cure for all facial hair, but I feel it was a great purchase, worth every dime, and then some.

The device (Model AP-9PB) works with minimum pain. Using a tweezer has a greater pinch. I purchased it to remove white facial hairs that are hard to see. This is a problem that is heriditary in our family.
Good product

This is a good product, it really does take the hair from the root. Although, it is hard to use it in your underams, because the skin really needs to be super stretched or else it will grab your skin..and that HURTS!!!When I used it on my face it worked for the hair that was a little long, but the shorter one not really...ALSO BEWARE because I left the thing too long in one spot and it took with it the hair AND the SKIN...hurt a bit....hmmmm but I cannot really complain much, I would recommend it....
not good for fine light facial hair

I am disappointed...
I bought it expecting to be able to get rid of my facial hair, which is thin and light colored. Unfortunately it did not work on my face. However it is good to remove thick darker hair. So I use use it on my legs .....
surprisingly satisfied

I've tried everything for facial hair, and it always grows back after 1 day. I purchased this because I was going in to the hospital for 3 days and hoped it would at least not grow back for a few days. It appears to be working! I get just a few hairs and touch it up very quickly each morning, but no longer have to worry about the 5:00 stubble!
I LOVE this little thing!

This is great. Its virtually painless and works quickly on fine hairs. I use it for small fine hairs around my sideburn area and it work great. I've also been using it for touch up on my bikini area and and am very satisfied.
its alright

its ok but the only thing is you have to go over and over the same area and it doesnt get the real little hairs some but not all but it does make the hair grow back slower

i gave this product a 4 star because it works WONDERFULLY. it lost a star because yo cant use it on too long or too short hair so yeah .. but otherwise it works on majority of hairs. thick or thin.it hurts slightly but im sure majority can handle it! i just wish i had a bigger epilator that works like this. but again its only 19 dollars. its worth your money and time.
Works but hurts

I bought this for my face. This is my last hope before laser hair removal. It works but it hurts. I would suggest buying a numbing lotion or spray with lidocaine if you plan on using this product on sensitive area. I have hair on my chin and neck area from hormone changes from pregnancies and birth control pills. I am hoping that with further use that my skin will become accustomed to the pain and discomfort.
Good Poduct

I read all the reviews on this product before purchasing. It does work. After the first use it really dosen't hurt that bad. The only thing is that it dosen't get the really short hairs. So you still have to tweeze, but not as much. I used it on my legs as well and it does take awhile to get your legs done but once you do it is easy to keep up with.

I was hoping the product would be the thing to deter me from getting LASER HAIR REMOVAL. I suggest using the EMJOI EPISLIM instead of Waxing. But I am still considering getting Laser Hair Removal after seeing how the Emjoi Epislim can't remove hair that is just coming up.
The hair has to be 5mm (milli-meters)or longer (not to long) for this hair remover to Remove it. I bought this product for the bikini area - so Laser Hair Removal may be the best way to go for that area.
GREAT VALUE FOR THE MONEY

This is a terrific epilator and you can't beat the price. I own three different ones, one for the legs with interchangeable heads, one for the lips and this one which I bought specifically for the underarms and bikini area. I've been shaving and waxing my underarms (of course I preferred waxing, but it can get expensive), so I decided to buy this epilator to see how it worked. I was pleasantly surprised how well it removed all the hair under my arms. Every bit of it! And it left my skin smooth and free of bumps. However, you MUST make sure you pull the skin as taught as possible. A little tricky to master with only two hands, but it can be done. Yes, it's a little painful, but bearable. I just love it!! Especially when I go on vacation, no worries about shaving every day. I've yet to try it on my bikini area, but I will brave it soon. I recommend it as a must have.

Ok I just wrote a review saying this product did a crappy job...Well I left my legs alone for a couple hrs and now just used the epilator again - It is working, and my red spots did go away! BUT I do think you really have to get one of the larger epilators - It just takes way too much time going over the same spots over and over with this little guy. Good luck! They will work - just ...have to have a lot of time on your hands.
Don't bother

My tweasers works better then this product. I bought this because I thought it got a fairly decent review. You have to go over and over the same area for so long that it is way to time consuming. It barely removed any hair, course or light. I tried it in a variety of different places. I don't know maybe I should have gotten one of the larger sized more powerful epilators...but I don't want to waste any more money.I'm not saying it didn't remove ANY hair at all, but it was VERY random. I don't think it does a good job AT ALL of removing hairs from the root. I have a feeling I just created some ingrown hairs in the process of using this product. I was trying to take a pciture of my leg to show how it is red and irritated and still stubly...but I used my batteries all up on this epilator!~
Much better than waxing!

As an ex-chemotherapy patient during which treatment I lost ALL the hair on my body, my after-chemo facial/neck hair regrowth was atrocious! Waxing left redness and bumps. I found Emjoi, have used it 4 times(with some pain/discomfort) but I'm thrilled with the results! It doesn't grab the stubble on my upper lip where I continue to shave since it's a very sensitive area, but over time I'm sure I can make it work there too. Overall, VERY happy with Emjoi. I highly recommend it.
it does hurt

i have only attempted to use it. but the spots that i have tried it on is still smooth a week later, but i haven't brought myself to try it again. there is pain. not excessive, but enough.
inexpensive yet effective

This is a very good product and a perfect tool to get rid of unwanted hair. I have used on my legs a big epilator for more than 5 years, and though I'm not using this new small epilator on my legs, it has shown just as powerfull as that one.
I have very sensitive skin prone to ingrown hair, however, this epilator does not irritate my skin a bit.
