Esthetic Generation 5

When the original Epilady for the legs came out, my Mom and I both used it. Now, neither one of us has hair on our legs; the Epilady caused the hair to stop growing. I love never having to shave anymore! So when I saw that they now have one for the face, I decided to try it. And it's just as good as the other one. Hopefully, this will, eventually, keep the hair from growing there, too. I don't find that this product hurts. I can feel the hair being removed, but it's not a painful thing for me. I've read through some of the other reviews, and I may have some helpful hints. 1) Pull the skin tight in the area that you're going over. You need to get the hair into the coil as well as keep the skin away. Doing this will prevent you from having the skin pulled up into it (which doesn't hurt but does feel odd). 2) Slowly but continuously. You need to keep the unit going over the area in a continuous motion. However, don't rush it. You need to allow enough time for the hairs to get caught - it's not doing that if you're moving it too quickly. 3) It works best if you use it daily for the first week or two. Doesn't have to be a long time each session, but doing it every day will allow the shorter hairs to grow just enough to get caught - without allowing them to be so long that they're unsightly. 4) If you're finding that it's not removing the hair properly, you may not be allowing the coil to get to the hair. Be sure that you're holding it such that it's flat against the skin (put your forefinger on it like you're pointing at something and then rest the unit on your face such that your finger is parallel to your face). If you're not holding it so that the hair is allowed to get in there, it's not going to work. Remember that what it's doing is providing an "automatic tweezer" type of removal - hair has to be in there to tweeze. 5) Be sure that you're going in all directions. This is why going in a circular motion is helpful. Hair grows at different angles on your face. Therefore, you need to catch it in the way that it comes out easily. This may be why some reviewers are finding that it's not removing a particular type of hair. If you're not finding that it's getting the hair in one area of your face, it could be that you're trying to remove it in the wrong direction. Try going in the other direction on the hair, and it'll catch. This tip also helps with any discomfort you may have with the product. If you're trying to remove hair against the grain, you're going to feel it more than if you're pulling it out in the direction that it grows. I do recommend this product. If it's used correctly, it does work. And, if it proves to be as great as the original Epilady, I won't have to use it forever. The hair will stop growing in this area!

I bought a brand name, thinking it would be worth having. I was wrong. This is a simple spring coil. It turns with no real power to pluck stray facial hairs. It does seem to snag tiny peach fuzz a bit but if it grabs a thick chin hair, it just yanks and pulls skin, like someone pulling a hair but not actually removing it. So, it hit the same hair repeatedly and doesn’t pull it out. This was a huge waste of time and money. I missed the return window, as I forgot about it, after my initial disappointment. I’ll look for a better design because this one doesn’t work for me.

I love this thing! It hurts, true… that’s how you know it is actually plucking the hairs 😉… but its relatively small “business end” makes it possible to limit the pain by only plucking a tiny area at a time. Also: user tip: it hurts much less when you pull the skin very taut. The payoff is: mischief managed for a couple of weeks. Honestly, I pluck single hairs between epilator sessions…but it is really just not workable to tweeze hairs that grow on the underside of my chin, because you have to see what you’re doing or risk plucking off a chunk of flesh instead of a whisker. BUT! The epilator can! It can safely epilate areas that cannot be visualized with a mirror for tweezing. So that makes this goodie worth 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I purchased my epilady 3 years ago. I decided to make a review now I'm purchasing a similar type of product and I felt the need to explain why I chose not to buy another epilady. I marked off 2 stars for 2 reasons. The first is because it's uses AA batteries. I'll get 2 maybe 3 good uses out of a good quality battery before it slows down and becomes more painful. Rechargeable AA are only good for 1 use. The second reason I must first say it has no problem with peach fuzz. Unfortunately I have 5 hairs on my chinny chin chin that are thicker than my epilady can't pull out. It pulls my skin into its springs. Not good!! I try to make sure I pull those hairs out first!

Not effective and heats up to an uncomfortable temperature while in use. Mine fell off the counter and came apart. After that part of the tip melted off from the heat. Extremely dissatisfied with this product.

Not impressed. It got some hairs but it doesn't do a great job at grabbing all. I went over the same area multiple times and most of the time it wasn't latching onto anything except for a couple hairs and even then sometimes it didn't pull pull them out just pulled them and they broke halfway off. I wouldn't mind the pain if it did a good job

It worked pretty good for eye brows. I couldn't get it to complete my entire brow line. I will need to practice more

Wasn't a fan didn't do what I was expecting or what it claimed

Exelente producto

I have an older model that works so well that I purchased another one since it is getter old. The new one is a bit smaller and does not work as well. Still okay, but not what I was expecting.

Bought this to replace some other make Bayliss I think This is far superior, didn't find it hard to use at all really pleased with it and don't find it at all uncomfortable.

Finally I found something that works to take the blond mustache off my upper lip. It does sting a tad, but if you follow instructions it is not bad at all. Would definitely recommend this product
