Lait 50 Antiseptic Cream – Post Hair Removal & Ingrown Hair Treatment, Cools & Soothes Skin, 1.5 Ounce

So, I want to say that this product is awesome !!!! A few years ago, I was a beginner waxer, and I went to this wax lady to get my second wax and she recommended me this product and even sold it in her store. I used it and had immediate great results. No ingrowns and smooth skin!!! Of course waxes were expensive so, I stopped and begin shaving again for the next few years. Recently, I started waxing again, but I was having bad ingrown hairs and bumps. I wasn’t sure why because I had never had that issue. I started to get discouraged, but I said I would figure it out. Maybe I wasn’t waxing right idk! So, I continued to wax, and same thing irritated skin and bad painful ingrown hairs. I researched and I saw this product pop back up, and didn’t realize this is what prevents ingrown hairs so, I bought it and immediately my skin cleared and has been smooth ever since! I have very sensitive skin and anything can cause an ingrown but I live by this product ! It’s a cooling, tingling feeling , and it brings so much comfort. I know the price is a little high for the amount but it’s worth it and it doesn’t take much. Hope this helps :)

About two years ago I decided I wanted to take the plunge and start getting brazilian waxes. So I did and loved the initial results. However exactly 24 hours after getting waxed several (and I mean SEVERAL, as in they were everywhere) fluid-filled tiny white bumps appeared. They went away after about 3 or 4 days. I Googled and I talked to my aesthetician about it the next time I had an appt and she gave me some different pointers on things to do to prevent the bumps from reappearing after future waxes (it'll get better with time as your body gets used to it, make sure you don't soak in a bath, if you workout and get sweaty make sure to clean up ASAP, try not to touch the area, tea tree oil can help, coconut oil, etc etc). So I tried these things as well as other suggestions I found on Google and still, the bumps appeared, like clockwork, 24 hours after waxing. I continued to get the brazilians probably about 6 times and the bumps continued, then money got tight and I was discouraged with the bumps (and ingrown hairs) I was getting every time, so I stopped getting them for about 6-8 months. When I decided to start getting them again, I had my list of things to do on the days leading up to waxing and right before waxing and immediately after and the days following waxing and I was determined to get through it without the results being ruined by these annoying, unattractive bumps! But AGAIN, there they were, every time. My aesthetician had a baby and was gone on maternity leave for 6 weeks and while she was out I did some more research. Rewording my problem a million different ways in the Google search bar until some salon in another state had Finipil Lait 50 mentioned on their website, and then I found it on amazon. I didn't order it at first but when my lady came back from maternity leave and I had my upcoming waxing appt, I decided to give it a try (not like it's that expensive, right?) So I bought it and it came in a day or two before my appt. I showered before my appt and applied some of the Lait 50 and headed to the salon. Had my session (which btw was less painful...although maybe that was a mental thing, and I wasn't red, AT ALL when I was normally left with VERY red, swollen, inflamed skin down there), came home and put some more Lait 50 on immediately. 24 hours went by and no signs of any bumps at all. I told myself maybe the cream was just delaying them a bit and they would eventually appear bc this stuff had to be too good to be true. Another 24 hours went by, and another, and another....it's now been almost an entire month since the wax and I haven't had a SINGLE bump show up! NOT. A. ONE!! And no ingrown hairs either! This stuff truly is a miracle worker! I read some reviews who said it didn't work for them. I don't exactly know what their situation was or what they were using it for, etc, but I am SO incredibly happy I found this stuff and gave it a try!! I Apply it to the area once a day after my shower and that's it. It just works! I was worried it would burn when I put it on immediately after my waxing because the skin is so sensitive there and it has a "cooling effect" that I was concerned would end up being a "light my crotch on fire" effect instead but it really is a COOLING effect. I felt like I had a cold washcloth or something on the area for hours after application, which felt AHMAZING the days following the wax when I was usually pretty sore. I have also noticed a HUGE improvement in how long the hair is taking to grow back out! Normally after just a week or two I was having quite a bit of regrowth. So I was dealing with these awful bumps the first 3-4 days and then was only enjoying the smoothness for another week or so before I was playing the waiting game for the hair to grow out enough to get my next brazilian and start the process all over again. As I said earlier, it's been a month, and guess what? I'M STILL SMOOTH!! I have had some hairs pop up here and there over the past month that I've just plucked when noticing them, but it's been maybe 3-4 hairs a day, which is NOTHING when you think about how many are actually capable of growing down there.Anyway, I'm sorry for such a long review, but if it hadn't been for the reviews I had found I would have never tried it. And there were so few reviews available to read that I really wasn't sure it would work for me and I almost didn't try it. So I really wanted to follow up and add a review. Maybe someone else out there has had the same issue with those pesky bumps after and none of the other treatments have worked. This stuff is DEFINITELY worth trying!! I will be staying stocked up on it from now on and plan on telling my aesthetician about it the next time I see her. Maybe she'll look into it and start carrying it there too. :)

It worked wonders!!!! I used to get super red super inflamed super bumpy looking skin where my legs met my pelvis like bikini line where there is a lot of friction with panties, jeans, and swimsuit bottoms and I apply this it’s pretty odd the cooling effect is but no bumps at all it is a little steep in price but if you wax/shave this is perfect for swimsuit season!!

It does exactly what it says it does and I’ve only had it for 3 weeks. Also it feel like icy hot

I'm definitely not qualified to speak of the long-term effects of this product (see update below) such as suppression of hair growth, or even if it helps to inhibit ingrown hairs (which is what I bought it for) but I CAN attest to its value to cool and soothe a freshly-waxed/sugared Brazilian! I've never had a full Brazilian before but I have tried to shave portions of that area with little success. With shaving I've experienced almost instant painful bumps, ingrown hairs, extreme tenderness, and incessant itching. I actually only ordered this because I wandered upon it while looking for a numbing cream to do my own Brazilian with sugaring (and for facial roller-derming). It had such great reviews, and waxing/sugaring could be a horrible idea, I don't know yet, but I thought I'd give it a try. Well, I ordered some numbing cream and this, and I have to say- so far, so good!! When my nethers came back to reality after the whole ordeal, they felt cool and calm, not the pain or discomfort I was expecting (and I even had BLEEDING in a few spots). I walked around all day today and (sorry for the visual but) I'm a heavy lady and had NO discomfort! I'll update if things change but I only intend to use this cream every few days for maybe a week, if that. At least until my next self-Brazilian sugaring. Even if things get unpredictably painful when the hair grows back in, it couldn't possibly be any worse than the DAY I shave, nor worse than the day after! To be hair-free for even a few days (but I believe waxing/sugaring lasts a couple weeks) without the pain of re-growth is worth it to me. I cannot attest to this cream's ability to alleviate the pain of shaving because I gave that up years ago. My hair is both very thick and ridiculously coarse so shaving is no longer an option to an old woman who far values comfort over beauty. The reason I want the hair gone is not a thing of beauty, but for comfort. It is so ridiculously thick and coarse that it causes me great discomfort, especially during sleep or walking around. I know that's WAY more information than you need but if you're considering waxing/sugaring the whole mess out, I highly recommend a good numbing cream and this.UPDATE:Well, so much for my big idea that I would only use this occasionally after sugar-waxing! While I didn't get NEARLY as many ingrown hairs as with shaving, I did get a few. I assumed it was going to be some big ordeal as they had always been before but every time I get one, I go rub some of this on it and it goes away, almost immediately! I was only expecting some pain relief from the cooling sensation but this stuff really does heal them fast! I won't be without this cream now that I've seen what it can do.I can't say it does anything to slow hair regrowth because mine was practically all regrown (not all but probably 70% coverage, about 25% length) within three weeks but then, my hair grows really fast.I know this is gross but I have to say it: As a larger lady, I've noticed that hair in places we don't want it does serve a purpose, smell-wise. When I shaved my bikini line (and no longer had hair to wick away sweat), I had an odor that wasn't there when the hair was there. This stuff has something in it that kills the bacteria that causes that smell. I have NEVER, not once, used the bathroom and got a whiff of that nasty armpit smell from my crotch since I started using this. THAT, all by itself, is worth the outrageous price to me.UPDATE 2: Again, I have given myself a full brazillian and I'm completely amazed at how well this stuff works! If I don't use it for a few days, I get ingrown hairs, which is no longer the pain and anguish that used to mean! I'm telling you, you can go rub some of this on it, shower or not (usually not), and the pain is gone almost instantly (by the time you wash your hands and go sit down, it's gone!)! There is no smell anymore, no ornery hairs itching or pulling, and I sleep like a rock! I have scars from ingrown hairs from shaving, if that means anything. I mean, they were BAD! I think a person that prefers to shave should seriously get some of this! You'll never be without it again once you've seen the light. I never thought being hair-free could be like this.Funny thing, my mom asked me if since I'd waxed (sugar-waxed), if my pee went in every direction like it did when I shaved. I can't explain if it was the waxing or this, but no, it doesn't! (That's weird, right? Why doesn't it? I hadn't thought about it.) For all intents and purposes, THAT part couldn't know if the top or bikini line were hair-free! Maybe I scared it by ripping the hair out by the roots and it was afraid? lol

Arrived as expected with tamper proof plastic in place. Works great for post shaving!
