Use on dry skin, hold the device at 90 degrees to the skin, and stretch the skin taut to reduce discomfort and missed hairs.

How to Use Hair Removal Cream at Home
Hair removal creams dissolve hair just below the skin surface using an alkaline chemical. The result lasts 3–7 days, but chemical burns happen when you exceed the contact time on the packaging.
