Emjoi Tweeze - Facial Hair Remover - Epilator - Easy No Pain

At first i was skeptical about buying this product mainly because it had the "as seen on tv" icon and that 99% means the product sucks but i was looking at more famous and expensive brand names which use the same idea and considering how my face breaks out very easily I decided to try with this one first and see how it goes before investing in a much more expensive one, it worked really well and it didn't hurt me as much on my upper lip as it hurt me on my chin but after a while your skin gets numb and you don't feel the pain so bad, just try to stretch your skin as you glide it over it, works really nice on the side burns too which i have, to me this little baby is a life saver, my facial hair grows rather fast and using too much chemicals like hair removal creams started to give me this unpleasant greenish hue just like what happens to men after they shave, i was freaked out and stopped using absolutely everything on my face till i decided to look for a different way that doesn't make me look like a man and using those creams always hurt my face and made it break out, I didn't experience that with these tweezers they were also fast and not that time consuming i think doing both my side burns, upper lip and chin took about 20 minutes. Just make sure to clean your face with hydrogen peroxide before and after you use it, i took that advice from the top reviewer and it worked like a charm i even gave if a test i used the hydrogen peroxide on only one side of my face and not the other, the one I didn't use it on feels kind of itchy but the other one feels great! Another thing i love about this little tweezy is the clear cover which traps the hairs in and it also seems quite sturdy and not cheaply made at all, the only thing I don't like is that it's kind of noisy but that doesn't bother me. The size is just right and compact you can put it in your purse which makes it perfect for traveling. To maintain the life of this product you shouldn't let water get to it and if your face is sweaty it won't work well as your hairs will be stuck to your face, also use it regularly even if you don't have much hairs to pull so you prevent the batteries leaking and going bad inside it. I highly recommend this baby to anyone it's great and the results made me so happy.

So far it seems to work well. I will have to wait and see if it handles the stiff whisker hairs once they pop out again, but it did a great job on facial peachfuz and upper lip! Not painful at all. Seems well made too.

I misplaced my Tweezee that I've had for probably over a decade during a recent move so I bought what I thought would be an exact replacement. They look exactly the same, but my tweezee was amazing at plucking out every hair in its path and this thing plucks out..... NOTHING - like literally nothing. I'm running it over eyebrow stumble that I can clearly see between my eyebrows and it doesn't pluck a single hair - I try every angle and still nothing... on hairs ranging from 1mm long to a 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch, still can't snag ANY of them. The pluckers seem to be spinning faster than my tweezee did.... so maybe it's just going too fast to catch the hairs? I'll need to find some half drained batteries to see if that helps. But, if the issue is just simply a poor design that I can't change then they're just completely useless. I've tried them several times now on different areas and maybe I've managed to pluck 5 hairs total by now.... after numerous attempts for quite a few minutes on a bunch of different days.... these are jobs that with my original tweezee, I would have completed in under a minute, instead 1-2 weeks later I'm still looking at the same shabby eyebrows (I at least had time to use a regular tweezer to take care of the stray hairs on my chin)

Works best with the guard off, but it really gets those chin hairs that are difficult

To use this product, one has to accept that most methods of hair removal are painful. No, the Emjoi Tweeze is not painless, but if you want to rip your hair out by the roots - whether by tweezing or waxing - don't be shocked if it ends up hurting! Why do I like this product so much? Other reviewers have said that a regular tweezer works just as well. That might be true, but if you want to remove more than a few hairs, regular tweezing is time-consuming and frustrating. Also, it is hard to get pefectly hairless skin with a regular tweezer. Waxing and tweezing are not options for me because a hormonal problem causes the hair to grow back very quickly. I can't wax or tweeze often enough. Also, I have very sensitive skin that reacts adversely to those methods of hair-removal. Using the Emjoi Tweeze has been a lifesaver for me. I use the Tweeze once a week for about 10 minutes. I use it on my upper lip and chin and a little bit on the sides of my face. Because my skin is also prone to breakouts, I clean my skin well and then apply hydrogen peroxide with a cotton ball. I do this both before and after hair-removal. I use an oil-free moisturizer a little later on to prevent the peroxide from drying out my skin. This kind of hair removal can sometimes cause an ingrown hair problem, and I do have that problem when I use an epilator on my legs, but I do not have any ingrown hairs on my face at all from using the Tweeze. For those who do have ingrown hairs, there are lotions that claim to solve that. About the pain: This does hurt, especially on the upper lip (which would hurt just as much if waxing, for example). However, the key to using this device is being consistent. I can't stress this enough. If you use an epilator once in a while when you're in the mood for smooth skin, it will hurt a lot. But if you use it consistently - say once a week - after the third week or so, the pain will be greatly diminished. Use it even if only a few hairs grew back. Don't wait until it's "worth it" for you to take out the epilator, because by the time you wait for that to happen, you'll be at the point where it will hurt a lot. I have found that using the Tweeze consistently accomplishes three things: 1. It becomes less painful with time. 2. Hairs grow back more slowly. 3. Hairs are easier to remove. The process is much, much quicker.

I went through 2 of these. They last 4 to 5 months before the head gets messed up. Plus, anything other than lithium batteries makes it run slow, and die fast.

Works quite well. I have a bigger one from a different brand for my body and needed something smaller for my face and big toe. Much quicker than waxing and a lot less redness on the lip too. Easy to use.

In our household we have 3 Emjoi epilators (all from Amazon) and we like them all for different things. So I will post this same review for all three. We started with the AP-9T Tweezers - about $13.95. It is a small battery-operated unit. At first we had to learn how to use an epilator - how to hold it, etc., but once we got all that down, we found it worked really well for the small areas like upper and lower lip. Unless there is a massive amount of hair, it is not painful but you can feel when it "makes hits" - like a tweezer pull. It is not particularly useful for underarms and it would take too long to do the legs. But since we had got quite addicted to being hairless (and didn't have to run out to be threaded every 3 weeks), we decided to buy another so that my daughter and I would each have one. This time we went up a notch to the Emjoi AP-9L Epi-Slim. It is about $14.77 at Amazon and also battery operated. We like it much better. It too is great for the small areas like the upper and lower lip and chin. But we decided to also try a more expensive one. This time we bought the Emjoi AP-18 Emagine Dual Tweezer set. It is about $74.71 and it is more like the size of a men's shaver. It is corded and more powerful. This one does great under the arms and on the legs and even in the bikini area. It is not so good on the small areas like the upper and lower lip because the dual heads don't fit that well. But it will do the rest of the face and quite powerfully. The first time we tried to do the cheeks and the side of the face, it hurt - like little electric shocks as it pulled all that baby fine fuzz most of us have there. It makes your face so smooth. But once you get past the first few times and the bulk of the hair has been pulled, it is not painful. Ladies, there is no reason to be hairy! These gadgets really work.

Pequeño pero efectivo para la depilación de piernas, etc.

Despite the claims that it can remove quite short hairs, it wasn't that effective. It seems more appropriaate for longer and finer hair.

Very neat compact little unit. Good for travelling. It takes some time to do my face, perhaps because the Tweezer part is quite small and only covers a small area at a time but quite useful. Need to check with the old hand tweezers after use for strays.

excellent product, received as advertised. works beautifully
