Applying the wax was almost as painful as the waxing itself. I immediately broke out in a painful rash and now two days later, my leg is all bruised where I tried the product. I returned for a refund. Would not recommend product.
We're sorry to hear this! Flicking incorrectly may cause the bruising, and the hair being too long can be a reason for the application to be more painful, yet there will still be some pain, even with shorter hair. However, we stand by our promise of 30 Day 100% Satisfaction Gurarentee of getting your money back, if you are unsatisfied.
I started using sugar a few months ago and am starting to get the hang of it. Doesn't get every hair and some areas are hard to reach. Overall, happy with the smoothness of my skin and sustainability of sugaring. Can you make your container more sustainable?
Left terrible bruises on my legs and very painful.
We're sorry to hear that. Brusing is totally possible when you don't flick correctly. Our facebook group Sugar Me Smooth 101 is here to help with specific flicking questions, so bruising can be prevented. We also have our How to website page that gives tips on not bruising. Thanks for the feedback!
My husband and I tried to find some thing that would be good for my skin because he’s my waxer and this stuff really works. It actually brought us closer. He calls me his masterpiece. lol 😂 This is the best sugaring wax. It’s professional it leaves no redness. It’s easy quick cuts the time more than half the stuff is worth and I don’t do reviews, but I made a point to do multiple reviews for this stuff.
I have very sensitive skin, which has gotten worse in recent years, to the point where shaving makes my legs unbearably itchy. I tried Sugar Me Smooth for the first time last week on just one shin and calf to start with, and it was fantastic! My skin didn't react at all and was left feeling wonderfully smooth. It will take a little time to get the technique down and be more efficient with it, but the videos are really helpful. I will definitely keep with it. I'm so glad I decided to try Sugar Me Smooth!
I wouldn’t buy or recommend this ever again. I was not a fan and totally wasted the money.
Do watch the videos.... They are super helpful! I love that my hair doesn't have to get as long as it did before waxing, and that it is easy to wash off whatever little bit gets stuck. I'm new to it, so still tackling some of the new growth from shaving, but I can already tell that this is going to be a game changer. The sugared areas are smooth, and the hair isn't coming back for a 5 o'clock shadow. No irritation like I get from waxing either! I can't say how long it will take to regrow yet, but it is already an improvement from shaving and waxing!
There is definitely a learning curve to flicking, and I won't say I had it perfectly figured out and my legs looked a little bruised until I got it down (videos are so important!). But honestly even despite some minimal bruising and just getting used to a new technique, my legs are so smooth and hairless and it's worth the effort. I can't believe I've been shaving for as long as I have, and didn't know this was such a useful time-saving tool!
I hate shaving and always get ingrowns so I thought this would be a solution for me. Boy was I wrong. I watched their videos and read about the product before trying but really can’t seem to get this right. The sugar gets very sticky after about 2 uses on my skin, then it sticks fast everywhere and can’t be reused. I have to wash my skin and then wait for it to dry fully before re-starting. I tried using it in the coldest room in my home with minimal clothing on and still it gets so tacky. When it does work it hurts so much and is causing hair follicles to bleed. I am more than half way through my first jar and have only done 40% of my legs. I have already spent several hour sessions in the last week trying to do this and at this rate I will be out of sugar before I have my legs done. Such a waste of money and time. If you have hundreds of dollars to spend on the sugar and many hours to teach yourself this method, as well as an incredibly well temperature controlled room to do this in then I could maybe see it working for you.
Thank you for the feedback Carley. We're sorry to hear you couldn't get the hang of our product. The sugar wax gets much stickier much faster when the flicking motion is incorrect, as a single glob is supposed to last an entire leg. If you are to ever try again we have a Facebook Group with personalized help, where you can ask specific learning questions, it's Sugar Me Smooth 101.
I am completely new to waxing and for me, the hardest part is getting the sugar out of the jar. It is very stiff. Sometimes it doesn't seem to go on smooth enough either, but this could be because I'm very new to waxing. However, I have to say, it does work GREAT! Once I got it on and flicked it off, I was amazed at how well it works. Wasn't as painful as I thought it would be either and that is thanks to the IG influencers I originally saw using it. That's what made me buy it. I am glad I did. I personally just use it on my arms and stomach. Don't mind shaving legs but that may change as I get more comfortable with sugar waxing.
I will never go back to waxing at a salon or a wax place. This was so easy, WAY less painful, and I got a hang of it after 2-3 waxes. I use it to do Brazilians on myself and it’s the same results if not better than going and getting waxed. Highly recommend!
I had a relatively successful first sugaring session thanks to the many videos and instructions provided. Most of the issues occurred because it was my first time and I didn't know what I was doing. Otherwise everything is smooth and feels great. The soothing oil worked great and made my legs feel like heaven after sugaring.
I watched the video and did a test patch. Tried different temperatures of the sugar and it was a disaster. Bruised my leg from pulling at the skin and wouldn't even remove all of the hair. Maybe just me but this product is not what it's hyped up to be.
We're sorry to here this Margaret. There is definetly a learning curve, even after a practive patch, it can sometimes take a few sessions to get the flick completely down, as body areas have more loose skin and different angles than the practice patch. However once you correctly learn to flick, that prevents bruising and allows all the hair (that is long enough) to be removed. Thank you for the feedback, we hope you try again!
The wax for the Brazilian was recommended for the underarm and I couldn’t get the wax off like the legs. For a first attempt waxing my legs myself I’m super glad I found this wax. Would definitely recommend
Thanks for the review! We're glad you found this sugar wax too! We recommend the Bikini Sugar Wax for armpits, as it has licorice root to soothe the more sensitive area. However, the Body Sugar Wax works great too on armpits, and could be easier to use to learn the flicking method in the armpit.
Only slightly more difficult than at-home wax strips, but with much smoother results and almost no skin irritation! The only drawback is the cost.
I really like this brand, it’s gentle on my skin and leaves my legs very smooth!
I purchased this because I was looking for a gentle and effective way to remove peach fuzz without breaking the bank. I watched the videos and tried it on the inside of my arm, and then my face. I should have practiced more. I ended up with bruises on my cheeks, some of them bleeding. I'm scared to use it again on my face.
Devorah, we're sorry to hear that. There is a learning curve, just as you said to our product. Our face skin is much more sensative which is why flicking correctly is very important. A tip we suggest for your face, and everywhere in general, is that you PULL THE SKIN TAUGHT, this makes it easier to not pull up on the loose skin while flicking, becuase the pulling up resulting in bruises. We understand why you would be scared, but we do encourage you to try again, as our sugar does grab the peach fuzz, and the results will be worth it!
While at first the process was difficult, and I did get bruised, when trying it again it was a lot better. It definitely works very well in removing hair! I definitely recommend using prepping powder it makes a big difference.
A little hard to get the technique down but when used correctly it is not painful and gets the job done fast
Even after waiting for the ideal conditions for the sugar to be in, it hurts way more than waxing. This is because the sugar pulls on the hair each stroke against the direction of growth, which is a recommended 3 times. That means an additional 3 instances of pulling pain ON TOP of actually pulling the sugar off (with good technique). I'm returning my product.
We're sorry it's been painful. Although sugaring does involve some pain as it is pulling and tugging hair, 70% of users have said that sugaring is less painful than waxing! We also recommend your hair be the length of a grain of rice and not too long. That way, there is less tugging when spreading the product.
Sorry but this doesn’t work on thicker hair at all. Testing it on your arm only works if you’re going to remove hair from an equally thin-haired place.
Erika, we're sorry that's been your experience. Sugar Me Smooth is good on all hair types and my tips for getting the thick hair is making sure you are using prepping powder, as that eliminates the oils on the skin and allows the sugar to really stick good to the skin. Another reason it may not work as promised is if you are flicking incorrectly, as correcting the flicking method is the way to find successful results on all hair types and thicknesses. We have a Facebook Group called 'Sugar Me Smooth 101' where you can learn to improve your sugaring skills for better success.
