I used this stuff last year and no problems, worked great. But I used it this morning and now i have broken skin, blistering and weeping. I wanted to check on the web to see if anybody else had the same problems. I had no idea how bad it was though. Somebody should pass this along to the networks, they'd have a field day with this.
The Rash That Won't Go Away

I'd used this product for years without a problem... then... BAM... the itchiest rash I've ever felt... and it won't go away. It fades sometimes but always seems to return. Personally, I'd rather look old than look sick and have to deal with this itch, itch, itch! I will never use this stuff again!
Horrrible product please don't use

I found this web site, because I was looking for help to relieve my pain from this product.I will never use Just for Men again. I guess they want a good reason to drop this product. GOOD! I also took off work today.
After all these years I will never use it again

I used it on my beard for 10 years with no problem. All of a sudden I put it on and it started burning. I washed it off and the itching will not go away (that was three weeks ago) I tried benadryl and Cortaid - did not help.
It sounds like I got off lucky compared to most of these guys.
Any ideas what I can try to stop the itching?

Reaction to JFM Moustache Product
Reviewer:
Randy Lee
from Evansville, Indiana Sun Mar 30 2008
I have used this product for over 10-years and this past year used it to color my moustache and wow "allergic reaction" broke out with red bumps and, itchy as heck". I don't know why they changed the product. The old product was much better with no side effects. I am thinking of using another product such as "Wofs Head Beard Dye" the company is located in Altoona, PA. The cost is a bit higher however, they do not use any harsh chemicals in their dye. I would like to stick to JFM but, the irritation is not worth it. I like JFM because it colors very nice and only takes 5-minutes. It is economically feasible to use and every store in the US sales this product. Has anyone heard from the company on what they plan to do about the product? They should go back to the original formula!

I just used this product for the first time. It was the formula for beards. I used it on my goatee and it has left me with a chin full of bad blisters that have been oozing all day. It took a full day for any reaction to appear, so I was very surprised. I can't believe any product that can cause such a reaction is even on the market.

I have salt and pepper hair. The old stuff worked great but the new doesn't do the job. I guess it's time to try another. Too bad - I really liked it.

It seems to be a recurring theme on the message board. I used the dark brown facial hair dye for 6 months with no reaction, the last two treatments though have bought my whole face out in a severe rash. It is extremely itchy, red and given me scabs around my mouth and under my beard. It is particularly bad at night, and I have found the whole experience quite distressing.
I am quite reluctant to get get of beard but not really sure of any similar products on the market place. Can anyone advise?
Blisters and Itches

I agree with those who say that the formulation of this product has changed for the worse. I have experienced the same running blister like sores, and extreme itching that others have described. I used the facial hair product and thought that my face would be permanently scared. I left the product on for less than the prescribed five minutes, but it made no difference.
Don't walk away from this product, run as fast as you can. My vanity isn't worth the excruciating pain and itching that this product caused. Along with others, I can't believe that this product remains on the market.

You gotta be kidding with this product!
It is a widespread issue that it seems that everyone is having!
My face feels like I put acid on it!
And you can't wash it out!
I am scracthing my face mercilessly, & feel like I'm going nuts!
You better pull this product from the shelves immediately & refund any monies spent on this product by anyone who is having this issue.
I wonder if there's gonna be class-action on this product very soon....I can smell it.

i agree with all those above who found this product to cause itching, burning and rash on the skin. it HAS to be something that they have changed in the ingriedients and this must be recent because in years past I used their beard and sideburn coloring with no side effects. The itching, burning and rash from the beard coloring is only recent.
Burning and Swell from JFM

Chad
from Signal Mountain TN Thu Jan 31 2008
Add me to the list, I have used the dark brown beard coloring probably 10 times in the past year with no problems at all, it worked great and had no harsh odors. I thought when mixing this latest box I smelled something different but just thought I was imagining it. So now five hours later, everywhere I put this stuff is raised "hive like" and burns like acid has been put on my skin and as an added bonus, it itches like mad. What the hell? I put aloe vera sunburn gel over the area and it burned even worse but after ten minutes has diminished the pain quite a bit. Anyone else have any luck with topical treatments?
I'm now under my GP for itching scalp & forehead

I used Just For Men for many years with no problems. However, since they changed the 'Developer' to a gel, my hair and forehead burns and itches for weeks after each application. When I visited my G.P about this I didn't admit to using a hair colourant, so maybe she didn't have all the necessary facts. Last time I used it, I took the precaution of smearing Vaseline over my forehead in the hope it would prevent the product touching it. Unfortunately this did not work and friends immediately commented on the state of my forehead. They didn't know how much the whole of my scalp was itching and keeping me awake at night.
Thank goodness for a website such as this as I would never have known this was a widespread problem.
Like every other contributor, I've never seen any comment from the company about the change of formula and they must surely know about the problem by now. Is their Managing Director stupid, or something, or do they sell so much of it they couldn't care less?
I noticing that several other users had complained they'd seen no adverse reports from the manufacturers, I emailed them with my experience.
Give them their due, they replied within an hour and quite simply they said 'Stop using Just For Men.'
So there you have it from the horse's mouth.
Don't want to go back to being grey, but what is one supposed to do?

Sorry to here about problems with the beard product. The product for the hair on your head is great. Awesome love it. I have used this product for seven years now. The only problem I have is finding my shade "light sandy blonde". When I do find it I buy the whole stash 5,6,7 whatever. My wife spends $200 and 2 hrs a pop at her salon and hates that I can get great color in five minutes for $10. I can't beleive these products are rated so poorly.
Best of luck I tried the permanant color in a chair for 45 min for $80. Not for me.
Just for men? Not any more!

Like other reviewers on here, I have used this product for about 5 years without problems. However, this new 'improved' formula nearly burned my face off! The symptoms are the same as other users on here - hives,redness and a burning sensation. The old formula was fine - why did the manufacturers decide to change it? I cant use it anymore. Beard is off now.
