hoyesch Crystal Hair Remover Magic Painless Exfoliation Tool

I finally tried this product after considering it for the last few months and I really enjoy using it! It’s super easy and simple, and for me it works great on my leg hairs and body hair in general. I think it’s probably best suited for people with fine hairs, my partner tried using it on his coarse curly body hair and it was not as good at removing the hairs cleanly. It’s a very effective exfoliant but definitely be careful, if you are too rough It has a bit of a delayed reaction and you won’t know until a few hours later when your skin gets inflamed and warm. I was a little too rough on one part of one of my legs my first time using it, and it started hurting quite a bit a few hours afterwards. I put some soothing lotion on it and the next day it was fine. But you could definitely do a lot of damage on accident with this thing if you’re not careful.

It is easiest to use when dry, once you try using it wet it can pull the skin easily and I would recommend only doing one pass, and lubricating the skin if you’re going to use it wet, do not push hard into the skin be extremely gentle. A light touch is necessary no matter where you’re using it and how you’re using it, but when used correctly I found this to be an amazing exfoliant and hair remover that leaves me feeling silky soft and is way quicker and easier to use than a razor.

you can’t press too hard and you have to do it several times in circle motion , better with shorter hair

The short story: It works! This is a nifty little tool that is a great alternative to traditional hair removal, such as waxing and shaving. Low maintenance and simple, which seems to be a rarity these days. At this price point, it’s a lot of bang for your buck – especially if the alleged use being up to 3 years rings true. But you do have to ask yourself if you’re willing to put in the work (because this thing will ABSOLUTELY make you work), be patient, and spend more time than you would on methods like waxing or shaving. Honestly I liked this product a lot, and ended giving it 4 stars instead of the 3 I thought it deserved initially because practice does in fact lead to improvement. Overall, not a bad investment!

The longer, more detailed story: When I say this thing is nifty, I mean it is Nifty. The concept of etched glass to remove hair us fascinating to me, and I wonder why it took so long for me to hear about something like this. I decided to give it a try, and am happy that I did so. Like I said before – it works. But that being said, it certainly isn’t for everyone. For starters, this tool takes a lot of energy and time – especially with the first few (or several) uses. It will take longer than shaving and longer than waxing because it takes a lot of work. Which makes sense given the instructions and concept. Small circles over the expansive surface of your legs/arms/chest/whatever you fancy to be smooth takes a while, and when you’re figuring just how much pressure to apply so you can remove hair but not remove that top layer of skin… expect to clear your schedule for your first attempt. But if you decide to purchase, chin up. Practice will take you far, I promise! Once you figure out the delicate balance of pressure that works for you, it’ll be an enjoyable experience. It does make your skin silky smooth, as it exfoliates and buffs your skin as you go over it. I definitely get to the point where I ask my partner to FeEl HoW SoFt My LeGs ArE. Especially since I am someone who removes the hair on my legs when it suites my fancy – I might go months without removing hair or I can do it weekly (more like every other day with my growth honestly) – it just depends on my mood. So this tool is a great option for me. I can keep it in a dry place and it will be ready when I am – whether that’s on a few days or a few months. No need to worry about having a sharp razor at hand or booking and appointment with the talented but also extremely intimidating cerologist at my favorite salon. My hair also likes to grow in ways that leads to ingrowns, which are very uncomfortable and unsightly. In the weeks that I’ve owned this crystal eraser, I’ve found that my ingrown hairs have reduced and that my hair even grows in finer in some places. It also comes in less rapidly than when I have shaved and waxed in the past. But while this product has suited my needs, this all leads to my second con – this thing is not the easiest on skin. You will definitely “burn” yourself if you apply to much pressure and the unfortunate fact is that this is so easy to do. All it takes is a few stubborn hairs and a little impatience for you to end up with a patch of scoured skin because you went over the spot more than you should have. If you have a condition that makes your skin thinner, sensitive, and/or makes wounds slower to heal that is something you have to consider before using. I have dry skin, so regular exfoliation is nice for the feel, but on the other hand I have to be very careful not to “burn” myself as I heal very slowly. I have done it twice now and it is NOT a good sensation. And then there is the work that’s involved… good grief. A true reminder of the fact that simple does not always mean easy. You are going to need a lot – A LOT – of elbow grease. Thick, coarse, and/or long hair will test your patience. This is true whether you try a wet or dry removal process. Removing the hair when your skin is wet makes it less likely that you will scour yourself, but makes it harder to see the hair removed and get a good grip to make your skin as taunt as possible. Removing the hair when your skin is dry gives you a better look at what you’re able to remove, but is pretty messy. You will have a lot of dead skin that doesn’t clump as it would in water, leading to a lot of dust. It might look like you were sawing a plank in two rather than smoothing out your legs, I’m going to be honest. And last but not least, a quarrel I have with this tool is that I don’t believe that is as versatile as it is marketed as. Obviously hair removal on your legs is a good use for it, that’s what my entire review has revolved around. But personally I would not use this on other parts of my body. I don’t remove hair on my arms, but with how sensitive my skin is on those limbs of mine I wouldn’t risk it. This would likely damage the skin on your chest if you’re of the softer variety – think breasts and skin that isn’t super taunt in that area. I couldn’t speak on using this on my back as I’ve never even attempted to remove hair from there, but to have someone do so for you seems like an ultimate test of trust. I’d rather do new hire icebreakers! The instructions (though very limited) state and I’ve seen other reviews say as much – Do NOT use this on thin and sensitive skin like your face. It is way more likely that you will hurt yourself than get that smooth texture you see on social media. I would avoid using this tool on your underarms and genital areas as well. This tool is hard to use on the backs of my thighs because my sensitivity, to use it between them where im even more sensitive? YOUCH!

In summary, I liked this tool as it was a great fit for me but I recognize that it is not a miracle worker. It is at a fantastic price point if it’s as durable and has the longevity that they claim, but if you’re looking for something quick and easy you should look elsewhere.

I used this product very gently on my legs. After a very looong time, I got most of my hair off, but I got the worst rashes and strawberry legs that I have ever had. Painful.
Plus, my leg hair was the only place it even remotely worked. I have thin, blonde hair, so it will work even less for the other 80% of the world’s population that has thicker hair than I do. Absolutely useless. Just stick to traditional razors or handheld electric trimmers.
