Olay Facial Hair Removal Duo contains a skin softening and protecting balm to be applied first, followed by the hair removal cream.

I truly cannot decide how I feel about this product. Sometimes I use it and I love it, other times I am not super impressed with it. I will say it is easy to use and effective. It is certainly gentle on my sensitive skin and doesn’t irritate my face which is extremely important to me. It doesn’t smell great (but this is similar to any other hair removal creams) so I wasn’t surprised. It is just more noticeable because you have it on your face.

My biggest complaint about this product (my only complaint really) is that it does not say how long to leave the cream on, on the tube itself. The instructions are on the package which I threw out and every time I have used the product since I have simply guessed at how long it was supposed to stay on. Once I left it on for too long and it burned my upper lip, and left red marks. This is obviously my fault for leaving it on too long, but my only point here is that there should be clear instructions on the tubes themselves.
I am happy with how long the results last, and my upper lip is extremely smooth afterwards.

Overall I would recommend this product; I would just advise you to pay close attention to the instructions. I do prefer this method to waxing strips so I think I will repurchase when the tube is done.

I have always waxed my upper lip, with a lot of pain... I tried the Olay product and in 10 min the hair was gone. I my lip was protected with the protection cream you put on first. It is awesome.. The price is high compared to other hair removal creams.. But if you have sensitive skin this is the best I have found..

Greatest thing ever!
I have a really sensitive upper lip so whenever I would use cream on it I would have to do it on a night when I knew I was staying in because my skin would get so red and raw.

But when I tried this for the first time I was amazed that my skin was fine and I was ready to go out for the night.
And every time I used it since then I have gotten the same result.

Product is very easy yo use and works well. I have problem with bleaching cause it bothers my skin. So I am so glad I found this product cause it doesn't bother my skin/

I actually won the Olay facial hair removal duo from a facebook website. When I got it I was skeptical. I have tried other creams and they left my face feeling like it was on fire and dried out and the other creams caused pimples. I tried the Olay facial hair removal duo the day I got it and and amazed at the results. My lip was smooth, not redness and no pimples or irritation. It doesn't stink or smell like your hair is burning off. I am so happy with this product I actually told my friend about it, and she bought it and loves it!!! Its a great product!

I bought this last week after my husband was nice enough to point out that I needed a shave. Yes he got a good smack! LOL I heard somewhere that if you eat a lot of sugary things as you get older you'll have a better chance of growing facial hair. Now I don't know how true this is, but I do know that I love my sweets and unfortunately I am getting older. I found it at WalMart on sale for $22 so I decide to give this a try. The first time I tried it I was a little worried it would burn my face, so I didn't use as much of the hair removal product as it said to use. The box contains one stick of the Olay skin guarding balm; witch is step one in the process and one tub of the Olay hair removal cream. You are suppose to do a 48 hour test on your skin before you apply any of it to your face, but I didn't do that either and was find. How ever that's just me and you should always fallow the instructions that come with any products you use! I applied the skin balm and rubbed it in for the 20, or so seconds it tells you to do, then I applied the hair removal cream and waited eight minutes. When the time was up I wiped it off with a tissue like it says to do, but it didn't take all of the hair off. So a few days later I went through the process again only using the right amount of the hair removal cream. This time all of the hair was gone. Now my husband won't be able to make fun of my mustache! The Olay Facial Hair Removal Due is a bit pricy, but it does work and you get enough to last you a long time. One thing I didn't like about it was the packaging it came in. They used way more then was need for this product witch is a big waste, especially for those that don't recycle even though they should. I do but I know a lot of people don't either because they don't have a recycling program where they live, or they just don't bother to. So I wish Olay would think about making a change to the packaging of this product.

I really like this product, but I don't love it. Even though I followed the directions and used the skin guarding balm properly, I still had the tell tale redness on my upper lip. That being said however, the product does a very good job as a hair removal product, and that to me is what matters most. I've found that many other facial hair removal products only seem to work partially. I will keep using this product because it is effective and the redness fades, but I will only replace it if I see it on sale for a great price.

I tried posting this and it did not show up in the reviews sorry if it double posts :)

I have tried my fair share of hair removers only to end up with red irritated skin.This caught my eye because it said there is a skin guarding balm included.So I thought I would give it a try. Unfortunately as I aged I began to get these fair fuzzy little hairs above my lip I think all us ladies do and its not flattering at all.But whats worse is trying a hair removal and having a bright red mark across your lip afterwards like I've experienced in the past.This new product from Olay was great I was so happy with the end results.

The balm looks just like a lipstick stick.First you apply the skin guarding balm lightly across the area to be treated.Be sure to apply a thin layer.Using your finger tips massage the balm into your skin going beyond the area treated.Massage for about 20 seconds in a circular motion.This helps so the hair removal cream does not come in direct contact with the skin.

Second:Apply the hair removal cream apply a large layer to your fingertip and smooth over the area where you want to remove hair(where the balm was applied)(DO NOT RUB IT IN)After about 6-8 minutes and no more then 10 minutes remove with a tissue or cotton ball then rinse with lukewarm water.I waited for 10 minutes to be sure.

My skin felt so soft afterwards and best of all no irritated skin.Its been a week and no hairs have grown back, I'm very impressed with this product.
