I am amazed that this stuff really works as an african american female who suffered form hideous and painful razor bumps. I am soooo happy that I finally broke down and tried this product out for not only did it virtually illiminate my razor bumps but I no longer suffer from the severe itching of newly grown hairs and the hairs don't grow back as quickly.As I consumer I firmly believe that if a product claims to do something it should do just that which holds true for this product.

Tend Skin is really only useful for ingrown hairs. It's basically a highly effective exfoliant. It is TOTALLY WORTH THE PRICE if you get really bad ingrown hairs. I have used it for over 10 years. I get ingrown hairs from shaving my legs and waxing body hair. Tend skin makes this bearable, otherwise I'd have to go all hippie and stop shaving all together. I use it once or twice a day, especially in summer. There is another product on the market that has similar ingredients in a gel roll-on, but it isn't strong enough to work.Drawbacks: The price, obviously. You have to use it daily, especially after waxing. It is a liquid, and most easily applied like toner with a cotton ball. If you use your hands to apply this liquid like a lotion it works, but your hands get peely skin. I like to use latex gloves. Tend Skin makes fake tanning difficult; because it exfoliates so well, your fake tan with disappear faster. It smells harsh until it dries (2 minutes) I would not use it on sensitive facial skin. And it doesn't get rid of zits, unless they are ingrown hairs. Despite what the directions indicate, it's VERY IRRITATING ON RAZOR BURN or SKIN THAT HAS JUST BEEN SHAVED.

A long backstory:A terrible combination of things to have, is a permanent state of "warm" (sweaty) and having extremely thin hair. Ever since I started shaving 16 years ago, I've developed an embarrassing, annoying, and painful condition called Folliculitis. Google it, it's pretty. All over my legs I have, essentially, a severe case of ingrown hairs. The *entire* length of both outside calves and inside thighs are the worst, nearly every square *millimeter* covered in scars or abrasions or both. If I'm lucky, I can shave once a month. I'm not normally that lucky. When I do shave, I get a good day of mild pain (from not shaving more than monthly lol), and then for the next 2 days, I will be in severe pain, and then the next 3 weeks I'll be "recovering" as my hairs go thru the cycle of getting trapped, tweezed, and then healing. Recently, I tried shaving twice in two weeks, and suffered the worst outbreak I've had in years. This isn't just an inconvenience, sure I have only worn shorts in public once in 10 years (and even then was just for an hour), but I can't even wear jeans for more than a few hours because it aggravates it. The one time I had to wear a swimsuit got me constant stares as I'm sure everyone in the hot-tub worried I had some nasty rash that would spread. Every doctor who has seen my lower legs all ask about it. Even the same doctor from year to year.
I know you have advice that will help me. Believe me, everyone has advice for treating their mild occasional ingrown hair problem. But understand I've been living with this daily for 16 years, and until you've had 3 boils on your legs simultaneously, please don't patronize my pain by suggesting a "sensitive skin" shave gel or the sort. I've done it all. Hell, the only reason I didn't try tend skin, was thinking it was prescribed, and I have crappy insurance so I wasn't ready to pay for that. So I've tried shaving with every store bought shave gel/foam, Nair/Veet, epillation (yes all of my legs and underarms) and even waxing (which took mostly skin and left the hair did I mention my thin hair?). I've tried home laser electrolysis kits in utter desperation. Now I'd say the majority of hairs removed from my legs are with tweezers when I can't take the pain and itch anymore. I've used every on shelf lotion, even extreme things like using varying degrees exfoliant on my legs (thinking dead skin on top was trapping the hair, it wasn't), and covering my entire legs in toothpaste (fluoride dries out the infection). Unfortunately, even NOT shaving, I'll still get a handful of sores every week. I've gone 4 months without shaving, it was horrible.
Using tend skin:
I bought this stuff a while back, and tried it a few times, by using it only immediately after shaving. Right away, I could see that the infections slowed, but the hairs were still ingrown. I was so jaded by years of being let down, I just thought that was the best it could do and decided it wasn't good enough to use more seriously. I was also afraid of using it more liberally in fear it would deplete the moisture in my skin and make it harder for my hairs to get out.
Then after that two shaving sessions in two weeks, I didn't care how dry my legs became, I wanted the pain gone! I started using this twice a day, and I fully believe the only reason the "worst outbreak" was gone within a 10 days is because of this stuff. So I decided to give this a real serious shot. I now use this stuff twice a day for the week after shaving, and at least once a day from there on. Not only are the infections next to NONE, a lot of the hairs are emerging on their own. As I type this, my legs are the *clearest* they've looked in 16 years. I can't even put into words how ... impossible this is. It's actually making me tear up haha ><
Yes, the smell is strong, and it can be slightly stingy at first (I call it "extreme aftershave"). And because I'm using it on my legs, at this rate I'll probably be spending a small chunk of change from using it daily. Especially if I may be able to shave more (more days spent with double applications... but I'm too scared to try that again anytime soon). It's also kinda troublesome to apply, I ordered the roll-on, but I don't think that will help with legs. My legs haven't dried out, I think my application hand has a bit tho, so I'll just start using gloves and/or lotion. I mean really. The itch, pain and embarrassment of your entire lower body, or a slightly dried out palm? I know what I'm choosing.
Anyone who can relate to a fraction of what I go thru, I highly advise giving this stuff a *serious* attempt. A 4oz bottle should last long enough for a couple weeks, even on legs.

this product has cleared my skin of razor bumps, I wish I knew of it when I first started to shave. Now I can use a razor and get a clean shave, as opposed to using a machine which always left me looking a bit stubbly.I have one recommendation, after giving this product a few mins to dry in, use a skin cream to return moisture to the skin, your skin will look much better for it, and it will stop the tend skin from causing u to peel.

Look, I love Tendskin. It was 1996 and I was dealing with razor bumps, like all my life. Huge ugly bumps that would make my shaving a nightmare. I had bumps on my face and back of neck from shaving.One day I went to a new barbershop and the guy asked me if I wanted a shave, I had grown a beard just from fear of shaving. I said yes, he gave me the hot towel, razor blade, etc. When he saw my face he said "man you have those ingrown real BAD!" I said "yep all my life". He asked me if I was willing to try something new. I said sure what is it? he said let me put it on and BTW it WILL sting.
He rubbed a cotton soaked in this Tendskin on my freshly shaved, bumper, sensitive face...I wanted to beat him with his own chair! I left thinking what the heck did he do? ...I was upset until the next morning. My bumps went down at least 60% and I went back and purchased a huge industrial size bottle. Since then I use it twice to three times a week as i shave and BTW...I get compliments on my face all the time. It may not be pretty but it sure is smooth.
If you suffer from ingrown hairs get this bottle AND the roll-on version. Here is why. #1 The roll-on saves on spillage hence you do not waste any, or as much and #2 when traveling the roll-on is perfect not to get taken by the mean airport people.
Enjoy!
