Byrdie contributor Danielle Ransom is an NYC-based writer and has covered a myriad of topics ranging across beauty, fashion, and lifestyle. When looking for hair removal products, you should consider what type of removal you prefer or want to try. There are razors, hair removal creams, dermaplanes, waxes, and IPL systems that work in different ways to remove hair. Pros and cons exist for each type of removal process. Clean beauty connoisseurs will love this award-winning product, which favors plant-based ingredients known for their potent effects. However, some uses have reported a chemical smell (odd, considering it’s a plant-based product), so if you think that’ll bother you, best to avoid.

Published 2018 Apr 10. doi:10.3390/molecules23040863 If you’re not acquainted with Kinship, now is the time to get familiar with the conscientious, clean, and cruelty-free skincare brand.

J Am Acad Dermatol. 1996;35(3 Pt 1):388-391. doi:10.1016/s0190-9622(96)90602-7 These pads from Peter Thomas are a rejuvenating, anti-aging godsend for the skin. They feature a powerful blend of amino acids (proteins known to hydrate and protect against free radicals, the unstable molecules that can cause damage to our cells), exfoliating acids, and soothing chamomile and green tea. They’re formulated to help firm the skin, improve texture, and refine pores for an anti-aging boost. While most pads contain a 4-10% concentration of exfoliating acids, this product boasts a 20% concentration of phytic acid, salicylic acid, and sodium lactate (a moisturizer), so you know they mean business. Who It’s ForConcentration: You want to be careful to not overdo it. Over-exfoliation can disrupt the skin’s natural barrier and cause long-term damage. “If you are new to exfoliating pads, this is not something that you need to jump into the deep end with. This is a slow and steady process. You can start with something lower like Malin + Goetz Resurfacing Glycolic Pads, which only contains three basic ingredients. Do a product for a couple of months and see how your skin handles it,” Dr. Nazarian recommends. “You’re not going to waste your time if you start with a weaker product. You're going to avoid a lot of the pitfalls that happen when people just go straight for the strongest.”

Some products, such as hair removal creams, cannot be used in the pubic area, although they can work well along the bikini line. Look for hair removal products that make sense for the hair you wish to remove, from your eyebrows to your legs. Arif T. Salicylic acid as a peeling agent: a comprehensive review.
