I found that rubbing in a cream that I had on hand for jock itch immediately cleared up the itcing and burning caused by the Just For Men Gel. I know it sounds funny, but it works every time I experience any itching and burning
Unbelievable Results

The results are amazing, and "Just for Men" is so simple to use. I could not believe it.
I feel as if I look 10 yrs younger, and I am being noticed by the ladies once again.
The best part about it, other than being so easy to apply, is how natural looking my moustache looks and feels.
You have a new customer for life.

I have used this product with success for about 2 years. With this new formula, my mouth was all swollen up like I had a fever blister. My skin actually falls off in about three days after usage.
COMPANY...get a clue! Change back to the original ingredients.

Like others, I have used this product in the past with good results. On this try, however, things were fine in the morning, but later in the afternoon I had the redness, itching, and burning that everyone else is talking about. Thank goodness I only have a goatee and not full facial hair. It's the "day after" and things are subsiding a bit, but I can't believe how destructive this product is. I think what is MORE amazing is that with one exception, there are NO good reviews on this product. DON'T BUY THIS!!!!

Yes same here with JFM, MY GOD THE STATE OF MY FACE. Cant understand why the company would alter their formula, and ruin their worldwide market...Totally crazy thing to do! Although I cannot answer about their GEL beard products???

I have not slept for 3 days because I itch and burn like hell. This is a nightmare, can someone please suggest a solution?
I have used this product for two years plus but this new formula is a killer. Please do not use this product.
Skin Irritation

I have been using Just For Men for years. The last box I bought irritates my skin and causes raw spots. This never happened before so it must be something in the new formula.
PLEASE READ!!!!!

I called the number on the box - 1-800-431-2610 and spoke with a customer service girl named Clementine or Camela. She said, "Every time you use this product, you must test it on a small area and wait 48hrs. to determine if you will react negatively." She also said these instructions are clearly written on the box. She said, "Just because you didn't react one time, doesn't mean you won't react the next."
This company is making a business out of playing Russian Roulette with our personal health!!!
Big Mistake

Like many others...I had a terrible reaction to this product. For some reason I decided to touch up my moustache and my hair on the same day. I honestly can't remember being more uncomfortable in my life. I went through three days of pain, burning, itching. My whole head hurt and all of the skin on my face was red an irritated even though this dangerous product never touched it. Five days later and it is not too bad, but still itches from time to time and the skin on my ears and lips is very dry. Compared to what some others have described I got off easy, but I never imagined an over the counter product could be so hazardous. The kicker...it didn't even do a very good job....I left it on for less than the prescribed 5 minutes and my hair got much darker where is wasn't grey and stayed grey where it was grey. Maybe it works for some people, but I'll never touch this stuff again. Oh yeah, in addition to the skin irritation, this stuff actually made me feel sick for a few days. Hard to describe how....poisoned might be the most accurate description!

I have used this product for 4 years. I noticed a year agao that I had burned my face so I started to use the product in very small amounts. I still had problems and my lips became very chapped and swollen. It's been about 4 months now and I have not used the product and my lips are still chapped and swollen. This product should be recalled. Maybe if the manufacture was slapped with a lawsuit they my wake up and do something about their "New Formula"

In the past, I used Just For Men for years with no problems or pain whatsoever. I recently decided to grow my beard again, and used the new Just For Men...and OMG, it burned and continued to burn after being washed off!!! It never used to do that!!! After reading everybody else's horror stories here, I quickly lathered my face repeatedly with a mild soap and then continued to rub a strong hydrocortisone cream into my face until the burning subsided. There's still a slight burning sensation hours later...this is scary. I can only hope that nothing else develops. Why did they change the old formula? I will never use JFM again.

My husband, who has used this product over a year now, used the black JFM brush-in gel 3 days ago. In a little over a hour of using the gel, his face started to blister and seep yellow gunk. At first we thought it was a chemical burn. But, after 2 days of pain and swelling, he went to the ER to find out that he has a major skin infection caused by the gel. His instructions were to remove all treated facial hair (ouch) as long as it is on you so is the chemicals that are causing this, wash with an antiseptic cleansing solution, take a benadryl like medicine (to help dry out the area). then just sit back and wait. I hope that other men out there read these reviews and save yourself a whole world of trouble.

Like many of the other negative posts about this product, I agree that it should be banned from the market. I had been using it for about 10 years with no problems. About 2 years ago, I began to experience itching after using it. Then it became worse, causing itching, burning, redness swelling of my upper lip, and scaling dryness on my skin. I was advised that the formula was changed about 2 years ago. My response was, "If it was working well with no problems before, why fix it?" Never, Never again!!!

My husband used this for 5-6 months starting early last summer with good success. Then in Dec he applied it and a horrendous red, puss-oozing, swollen, burning rash covered his beard-mustache area. It is still not 100% recovered more then 6 weeks later. I found this thread trying to find a solution for it. With all these reports, what is this doing on the market!?
VERY, VERY UNSAFE!

I used "Just for Men" (beard, sideburns and mustache version) on my mustache and goatee and carefully followed the instructions, but shortly after rinsing the product off in the shower, I developed a very serious rash, with oozing blisters and extreme swelling of the lips and chin area. Today is day 4 and the swelling still has not subsided and now I have thick scabs over most of the still-oozing blisters. I am extremely dissatisfied with this porduct and would definitely NOT recommend it to anybody under any circumstances.

this is my story...2 days ago I slathered on the ole formula, having not used it for over a year my 'stache and goatee were pretty white, about 20 minutes after applying and showering I start to get a little itchy, before I head to bed I look in the mirror and am starting to see redness, thought to myself 'damn'...I awake in the middle of the night, my whole lower face is on fire...after looking in the mirror I'm shocked, my face is swollen, very red and is oozing this yellow pus...so, I whip open the medicine cabinet and give myself a liberal coat of 'poly-sporin' and back to bed...I awake a few hours later, my pillow is all gunky and I proceed to the mirror again, well, let me tell you, I was shocked...my whole lower face was swollen to over twice it's normal size, my lips felt like they were going to burst open and I was beet red and just a mess of slime and pus, man, am I going to die?
Through-out the day I applied poly-sporin, even though it wasn't doing any good I kept it up for lack of anything better, I would wash my face and clean with alcohol then apply salve, repeated every hour or so...finally about mid-afternoon I got tired of the whole routine and allpied a thick layer of moisturizer my ex had left in the bathroom...although it didn't stop the oozing it did contain it and it did stop the itching...I was almost in heaven!
Around 7 my neighbour dropped by, she is a nurse, she took one look at my face and started berating me for not going to the hospital, damn, it's just a rash, woman...so, throughout the evening she keeps bringing over things for me...and this is what seems to be working: Benadryl, for allergies, 2 at first and then 1 every 6 hours. Actifed: an antihistimine, 1 every 6 hours and she gave me a Rantidine: 'cause apparently I am gonna get heartburn!
I also got a bottle of Baxedin: an antiseptic cleansing solution, because she said the alcohol was irritating my skin and not helping and I also got a tube of Hyderm Cream 1% which apparently those with children know all about...it's great for diaper rash!
OK...I started taking these last night...a little over 14 hours ago, the swelling has gone down considerably, I can now eat. the itching is almost totally gone, the oozing has stopped and the redness is now quite a few shades paler...I am however feeling a little 'stoned' and am holding myself back from asking the nurse to marry me!
Hope this helps someone and I want you all to know that I will be living with a grey moustache until my last breath.

I have used this product several times in the past with no adverse reactions. Recently I purchased the dark brown for mustache, and beards. I applied it according to the directions and with in a hour, my face started to turn red. The next day my mustache was all dried up and oozing puss. The following morning, my upper lip was all swollen, itchy, and very sore. This is a serious chemical burn. If there is no improvement tomorrow, I will have to seek medical treatment. Also I will contact my lawyer and seek damages. This is not right. Shame on you JFM.
