this product is ok...the first time I used it , my skin got pulled into the epilator ..and it freaked me out...The same thing happened , when I used it for the 2nd time...It's painful...but yes the hair growth is less....but it doesn't remove all hair...it's time consuming...
Emjoi gentle caress hair removal

I rated this 5 stars because it is gentle on the 'ouch' scale. Instead of yanking out the stubborn hairs like previous models, it seems to not grip them as tightly. Those stubbon hairs will have to be tweezed by hand or shaved. Everything else comes off smoothly and painless for the most part. Guys, I use this on my face and all over except armpits and 'down there'. I love it. I wore out the previous model. I use it about once or twice a month. If you catch the hair at the right growing time it will pull out the follicle, too. No hair ever grows back there. Use Ambosol teething gel on your skin to deaden pain if you are new at this. Do not try to remove all your mostashe at one time unless your you-know-whats are made of cast iron. Pic 1 is 4 yrs ago, 24hr beard growth when I started. Pic 2 is 4mo later with 2wk beard growth. Think of the time I wasted shaving all my life before this.
Good product.

Seriously... it would have been a bargain for twice the price. I absolutely love this gadget! I was terrified to try it, having heard many a horror story about the torture instrument known as the epilady. Once I got my Emjoi Gently gold Caress, I never looked back!
So yes, the concept of a mechanized super-tweezer pulling out your hair is sorta scary, but it sounds far worse than it really is. On a pain scale of 1-10, with 1 being stubbing your toe and 10 being childbirth, I'd give it the following ratings: For lower leg use, 2. Underarms, 2.5~3. Thighs and bikini area: 3.5. Mildly painful, yes, but no more so than waxing and tweezing. Unlike waxing, you can work at your own pace, take a break if you need to, and then continue. There's no mess, so sticky gunk on your hands and legs and delicate areas, and it's very very easy to get the hang of.
I've been using it for about 3 months, and I've already noticed a significant increase in the time it takes hair to grow back in. The hair on my legs and underarms is also much finer than before, always a good thing!
I highly recommend this product. It's been a lifesaver, especially in the winter. I always get nasty, dry, itchy skin when I shave in the winter, but this little wonder has never given me a rash or ingrown hair.
I would definitely buy this product again. Hope that helps!
Loved It

Excellent product. Much cleaner and easier than waxing. Very little pain for me, when I first used it, I wondered if it was working because I could hardly feel it!
My daugher on the other hand is not used to waxing, and thought it was very painful, but for me I thought it was the best invention ever!

This is the 3rd Emjoi Gold Caress shaver I have purchased.
My friends loved mine so much that I bought them as gifts.
Love the way it handles and it fits just right in your hand. I use it for ALL my shaving needs.
Motor wears out quickly

The motor wore out on me after a couple uses, to the point that it doesn't work anymore. It did it's job, albeit painfully, but definitely go for something more robust. I did have a lot of hair but it should not have been a problem, it's a machine made of metal tweezers for god's sake! metal+motor vs. hair...metal+motor should win hands down...basically they got cheap with their parts and it will show if you use it regularly.
Product does NOT work

I followed the instructions precisely, and proceeded to try this product. It did not remove a single dark hair on my chin area. For those lucky enough to have a good experience, they must have long light peach fuzz, is all I can imagine. Very disappoited in this product, and intend to return it to Folica whether I receive a refund or not.

Have to say, I love this product. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it doesn't do as thorough of a job unless the hair is a bit long, at least it's long to me. It certainly took an adjustment period of about a month learning how to use it, which frustrated me a bit.
However now that I know how to use it properly in conjunction with the appropriate skin soother to help prevent ingrowns afterwards, its great! I love not having to shave every day, that is just wonderful, plus there's no stubble and the hair growing back is finer and softer.
work quite well

Let me preface this review by saying up front that this product does work quite well. I bought this Emjoi based on the reviews of other customers, NOT on the basis of the full name of the product, Emjoi "GENTLY" Gold "CARESS" Hair Removal System. Had I just gone with the name I would have been in for a very rude awakening. There was nothing "gentle" about it. Granted I bought it to use in a very private area but it wasn't any less painful when I used it on my legs. I gave up on my legs because first of all I would have to let the hairs grow fairly long before it would even work and secondly, it would take forever to go over your legs. It is a slow process and you have to go over the same small area several times to get all the hairs and I just don't have the patience for that. It does eventually pull the hair out but I would recommend using it every few days to "maintain". You also have to follow the directions carefully. The first couple of times I actually got my skin caught in the razor and that, my friends, will set you free! I do however, get quite a bit of rash/ingrown hairs but that may just be my sensitive skin and the sensitive area I'm working in. The reason I am being so blunt is because when I was reading the reviews I couldn't find even one that would own up to using it for the private area so I was unsure if this was the right one to buy. In closing, I would say it's a very good product if you have the patience and the pain threshold required to use it.
Not worth it

Once you get through the shock of the initial pain, not all the hair is removed. The hair breaks off instead of being pulled out, as a result grows back quickly. Takes to long. Biggest waste of money. It's was past the return period for a full refund. Shaving w/a good razor and cream gives you better results.
It hurts!!!!

This was way too painful for me. Not worth it. Having my legs lasered instead. That's painful too but not near as bad as the epilator.
Wow - Love it!!

Okay, seriously tried one of these epilady-like things ages ago and it was the most horrifically-painful experience ever! But this Emjoi is really not all that painful and works great. Trust me, I have very sensitive skin and if I can use it, then anyone could! I would only recommend getting a after-shave skin gel to help keep skin smooth! Love it-love it though and definitely happy with the purchase. Cheers to many more hairless days in my future!

I was thrilled to get this- I've gone the waxing route- and to wax my own legs takes forever and to get them done costs 120 bucks in my area- so its just a drag anyway you slice it up.
This costs half of what I was paying to get my legs waxed- and it takes no time at all to do my full legs. Its works quickly and well- grabbing the whole hair- even really short ones. I used it on my underarms, legs and bikini. I had just shaved my underarms a few days before using the emjoi on them- and was stunned to see how well it worked.
The pain isnt bad- and I expect it will lessen with use- like waxing does.
Excellent product at an excelent price!
FANTASTIC!!!

This is the perfect hair removal system. Emjoi has helped me save a lot of time in my daily busy schedule. All you have to do is read the instructions carefully and follow them. It can remove hair on literally any part of the body. So, good luck to all the women who want clean and efficient hair removal!!!
Amazingly Perfect!!!

This product is just too good. I bought it recently. It works wonders. Picks up each and every hair. sometimes you have to go over some hair again. But at the end removes all your hair.
The only thing where you have to compromise is PAIN. this method is more painful than waxing. Anyways i am so happy i bought this. thanks to all those who wrote reviews which helped me buy this product.
Awesome...

I love this epilator. I've been using it for 2+ years on my bikini line. It's great, effective, and fast. I used to wax and find the epilator to be the same in terms of discomfort. It hurts a little at first, just like the first time you got waxed, but then you get used to it and it's really not a big deal at all. I will never go back to shaving or waxing my bikini line. I think it's completely worth the money and love the rechargeable option. It's nice for travel too. If you haven't tried epilators since Epilady, then I definitely recommend trying the current Emjoi technology. Things have improved a lot and the new epilators are really really great.
Not for Me!!

I bought this thing thinking it would actually work. But the thing looked scary right when I turned it on. I thought it would cut my skin if I use it. I tried using it but it HURT REALLY BAD!!!! It pulls one hair at a time so I returned it and I'm just going to stick to waxing.
