This is my 5th purchase with Sugar Me Smooth. The products work well when you flick properly.
I used the sensitive sugar for my underarms and it was easy and effective. About as painful as you'd expect, but the soothing mist helped afterwards. I started with the flick strips but ended with the flicker. Both were easy to use.
I have tried a handful of at home hair removal kits and this one is BY FAR the best. As soon as I used it I went online and bought just about everything they had. WELL worth it!
Sugar Me Smooth has been awesome! Rather than shaving every other day, dealing with razor burn, etc, sugaring once every few weeks has changed my hair removal game. Great products totally worth it!
The flick strips make sugaring so much easier! If you’re new to this I suggest practicing on an object first and watching tutorials on Youtube. I was able to do my bikini area and underarms without a problem. Make sure to shower, dry, and don’t apply anything like lotion to the area you’re sugaring. It helps to put some powder like arrowroot starch then apply the sugar wax. Good luck and just breathe through the process!
Immediate rash and painful red bumps.
Hi Danielle,
We're sorry to hear our product didn't work for you. It is normal for some initial redness to occur after sugaring as hair is being pulled from the root. We recommend spraying the soothing mist, it soothes the skin and the redness will disappear in a short period of time ( much shorter than wax). However extra redness and irritation can occur if flicking incorrectly and pulling up. If you would like to try again, our Facebook Group has lots of tutorials so the Flick is correct to eliminate the immediate painful bumps and rash.
I’ve got the legs really solid after a few rounds, and underarms and bikini are getting there! Pain is so tolerable, and I’m no martyr! Skin feels great post-sugaring (love the calming serum and spray, plus sugar scrub). My biggest motivation to try Sugar was that I hate waxing appointments, and I am really happy with this product and the user supports!
I ordered this because I’d love to not shave every 3-5 days, I’ll preface by saying I’ve never waxed professionally or diy, so it had a learning curve for me. I found the application and flick easy, but the wax was too sticky by the 3/4th patch.. either to hot, overworked etc, so I had to keep switching in new wax and washing off what got stuck and washing the flicker - so it ended up taking lots of time to get just my lower legs done. I know I can learn to do better and the site offers lots of help, I have 2 kids (one being a toddler) and with my family’s schedule, not sure if I can take proper time to get this down right now. When the wax was right, it flicked off easy so I did like that part. I can see liking it a lot more once I can get the wax consistency down and get faster at it. Pain was minimal on lower legs, but inner thigh spot I tried was an ouch and I wasn’t sure if I could keep pulling it off myself in that spot. Considering going to a pro to get a few sessions in and see if my hair regrows evens out and lessens, so it’s more manageable at home with this kit - or doing a hybrid and sugaring lower legs only and shaving the rest until I get better. Overall, it’s a good product! Just a lot more time to it than I thought and I even watched a bunch of the site videos and tips while waiting for it in the mail. With proper time, I think it can become easier! My time is just limited in this season of life.
Hi Kelly, thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience! A little tip if the sugar gets too sticky on your 3/4th patch, grab the Flick Strip to get it off, so you aren't constantly grabbing the cloth to wipe it off. Best of luck with your busy family life! :)
This was a horrible experience!
Difficulty 10:10
Pain 8:10
Removal of all hair: NO
DID NOT REMOVE MY CHIN HAIR AT ALL!
Only partially removed the leg hair.
I watched all the videos and fallowed the instructions
Quite honestly I would rather just shave every week than buy this product again. It is not worth the time or money and it took to get way less than desired results.
Hi April,
We're sorry you didn't have a good experience. For your chin hair not getting removed, for fine hair we highly recommend putting an ample amount of prepping powder on to grab the chin hair, and doing the swirl method. As for the legs, the Flicker method takes a few times to get the hang of, if you tried the Flick Strip (our new tool), make sure you really press it into the skin, it is easier than the Flicker and kicks you past the learning curve. If you would like to try it again our Facebook Group is Sugar Me Smooth 101, with extra help.
I say this as someone who loathed waxing and have not always been successful with DIY undertakings… you can do this sugaring!! The flick strips took out all the guesswork- I did both legs to above the knee AND underarms with zero bruising. The first leg flick, I actually didn’t expect any hair— I barely felt it! And again, I dreaded waxing appointments to the point I was shaving only for years. The underarms were a bit of a zing, but tolerable. The full kit has had all the nice extras to help be successful. Videos and FB support are authentic. Go for it!
How have i never tried this before?! I am amazed at how well this works and how long my legs have been smoooooth! Shaving is dumb. I am sugar waxing for life.
Once I was passed the learning curve of the flick method, it was smooth sailing from there. You can bet that I am done with razors.
I was pleasantly surprised at the results. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because there's a learning curve. The sugar will melt very easily if your skin runs on the hotter side and you will have to keep ice handy to cool down the area, if not you'll end up with a sticky mess. Also, the area must be super dry, so that powder is going to be your best friend. Hope these tips help!
Very happy. Easy to use. The reusable strips are awesome
Seriously awesome product! Took a few tries to get the hang of the “flick” but great smooth results and easy to use! Love it
First time using it was much easier than expected. I thought there would be a long learning curve, but the sugaring experience was successful. I only used it for my upper lip. I did it before my morning skin care routine on dry skin. Read the instruction booklet, watched a tutorial video, applied the powder & got to it! It removed my hair with ease. It got a little messy when the sugar on the flicker was no longer usable, but the fact that it is water soluble made clean up a breeze. I got a little concerned about redness, but it dissipated after about 30 mins. My only regret is that I hadn’t done this sooner.
This irritated my skin, didn't work for me
Hi Ella, we're sorry this didn't work for you. Our sugar wax has a learning curve, especially when using the Flicker, and can lead to irritation when done incorrectly. We also recommend using our Soothing Mist to curb irritation, as hair is still being pulled out of the body.
Despite what the product claims, I don't believe the product works well for fine hair. I have thin blonde hair on my arms and legs. I found the product worked just fine for my armpits and bikini line, but when it came to waxing my arms and legs, it was extremely painful and did not pull the hair from the follicles. I followed all steps and watched all of the videos, so I'm not sure why it didn't seem to work on those areas. I will keep the product for bikini line and armpits, but am a little bummed it didn't work on my finer hairs as advertised.
Hi Ashlynn! Thanks for the review, we're happy the sugar wax is working well for your bikini line and pits. As for the finer hairs here is some tips if you want to try again: our customers say using the body sugar is better on finer hair, so if you’ve been using the bikini sugar, maybe try using the body sugar in that area. Other than that, make sure there is ample pressing powder and press firmly into the skin. My last tip is make sure you use a new, fresh piece of sugar for those finer hairs.
Have been self/home waxing for a year but made a professional appointment before a trip to get my legs done and she used sugaring. Amazed out how little product she had to use, same results, and environmentally friendly. Purchased Kit was perfect to allow me to do the same at home and instructonal videos are perfect blend of words and video without being super long.

I love this product. I appreciate the “how to” videos and the explicit instructions. If you follow those it’s very easy to use. I also like that the sugar is water soluble. It’s way less messy than wax. Just perfect.
I had been getting sugaring done prior to ordering and it was expensive to say the least. Working with someone else's available time and commuting a bit of a distance out of the way as well was some trouble since I work full-time and go to school full-time.
Love how natural and pure all their products are in this kit.
The sugar works great once you get the hang of it! The ingredients are also natural and great for your skin.
