Of course, it doesn’t work. If it did they would sell it in stores. That’s how you know if a product that claims something extraordinary is legitimate or a fraud. The companies understand a customer that pays a relatively small fee for a mail order product, in most cases, won’t be bothered with returning it if they are unhappy with the results. If you bought it at Macy’s and it didn’t do what it said you would go back and return it.
Ratfat and Jeff. If you morons haven’t used this product and have anything but 1st hand experience with it the please keep your comments to yourself. In other words . . . SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU STUPID TRIFLING ASSHOLES. Thanks.
LOL! I want to try it. I have bought so much crap from infomercials that DOES NOT work… I should save my money. But I am one of those pathetic consumers. I will let you know what I find out.
The last product I purchased from a infomercial was NADS! I found that it was horrible and hurt so bad and you could not even get the remaining wax off due to the fact that i was so afraid to pull it off. What was I to do call Nadine who claims it was edible? No, I waited several years later when I finally saw the infomercial for smooth away! How terrible could it be they said painless! Well about 20 min ago I finally got it in the mail! After I used it I had to run to the computer to see what other people thought, that was afer I applied neosporin on my upper lip and legs. It is like using the buffer end of a nail file on your lip the burning has not yet gone away! Feels as if a layer of skin peeled off!
I ordered smoothaway 8weeks ago and still have not received it….but I do have alot of crazy charges on my card…..can’t get ahold of smoothaway but have managed to cancel the other two….where do these charges come from?
To anyone reading this, for your own good and not to throw money away, just shave, wax, or like me use removal creams. I’ve tried using them over and over again, and I’m certain these pads are absolute crap!
I noticed even in their commercial, you never actually SEE the stuff working on a hairy arm/leg…you’re fooled into thinking it is because they do it far enough from the camera that you can’t even see hair on the women’s legs!.. there’s no extreme close-ups at at, and there should be for actual proof!
Well here’s proof that even the people in the commercial didn’t have the stuff work for them… they’re probably the ones working at that company taking our money!
The only shot in the commercial that comes close to proving it works is the one with the male and his hairy chest… we fade in to see him ALREADY using the pad in one spot that we NEVER saw was hairy in the first place (we just “assume” it is because the rest of him is covered in hair).. then he removes it to see that the patch is smooth…BUT… we NEVER see that exact patch covered with hair in the first place… That man was already shaved/waxed/creamed and smooth before they did the shot!! Another thing, if the person uses the pad and there’s no stray hairs on their arm/leg… then where did the hair go?? We NEVER see it on the pad…on the floor….hmm well then it must still be there, or was never there to begin with!
I bet it only takes 5 bucks to make a box of this stuff and they try to sell it for 15 bucks plus shipping and handling. I’m ready to punch the person who thought this junk would work for most people!
Ok I’m done ranting, I feel a little better for wasting money on something useless… but still feel upset because people are still trying this stuff thinking it’ll work.
It does not work. I got it today in the mail, and tried it. It makes crop circle hairs on my chest, and I followed the directions to the letter. It is a very poor product and I do not recommend it. What a waste of money!
dis shit works like sandpaper. its garbage. I used it on my pubes last night and my sis tried it on her ass crack and all it did was leave a huge rash. fuckin bullshit.
k i went to the mall and they had them there and the lady used my friends leg it did work like it took it right off and there was alot of hair on her leg she said it didnt hurt but like i have read so many mixed reviews on it but the real thing that i dont understand is like… how the hell is it removing the hair thats all i wanna know like seirously
if its not pulling it out from the root how is it growing back thinner and thinner each time like it doesnt make sense i am so confused because it actually did remove the hair when the lady did it
Ok I’m honestly don’t think that half of the people who have left these nasty negative comments have even used this product!
To reply to JEFF: This product is indeed sold in stores. I have seen it with my own eyes.
To reply to everyone who sent in a negative comment: I got these for my birthday last week and they work GREAT. Honestly, I really would not ever want to go back to razors. Of course sometimes i will have to, but Smooth Away works great and is wonderful who have sensitive skin, like me.
Unlike half of these boneheads, I highly recommend them.
Hope this helped.
PS- To reply to Dee: Oh my goodness, i am so with you on that one! I’ve been wondering the same thing myself! If anyone knows, please tell us! Thanks!
PSS- to reply to Kosha boi: Kind of odd.. but yes, you can.
Xmas gift. We tried it today. Pads did nothing. Did not remove hair, only a mild 3M sandpaper. Tried on legs, arms, chest. Would not remove fine hair, would not remove course hair. Go to ACE Hardware and buy some emery paper and rub it on yourself if you want to try this product, it will cost you a lot less.
OK i just used it and it does “buff” away the hair. if you do it too hard it will get red and irratated. My legs feel somewhat smooooth, you kinda need to work it to get all the hair off, tiringgggg. Not the best product butt for the people who say because its on tv its crap not true UMM….proactiv ive had that for somepeople it didnt do anything for others it was a miracle depends on who you are…back to the smooth away i suggest this for people who have fine hair areas they want to get rid of
Smooth away does work and they DO sell it in stores now…I used it but you have to follow the directions - its awesome!!! i dont know how the hell it works but it does….you can purchase them in CVS now.
I just want to get it for touchups when i get to the gym and realize that i have underarm or leg stubble. i plan to just keep it in my gym bag so i sont have to carry a razor. should i get it for that?
ok i just got this a while ago, tried it out, followed instructions…it did absolutely nothing but rub off dead skin cells…stubble is STILL there…tried on hairier and very thin haired areas….didnt work for either. not worth even trying. good thing i only bought it for $9 at walgreens.
i went 2 my friends house 1 day… i saw the smooth away and i thought it was like a dead skin removal or something… then my friend told me it was a hair removing product and i did not believe her… i tried it out and i couldnt believe my eyes… i had to scrub quite a lot but OMG!!!! the hair seriously came off!! from all the other messages i heard, i think it rlly does depend on whether u hav tough or easy hair… but mine is rlly tough and stuck 2 the roots.. but it worked.. idk.. yupp!! try it!! i bought it online cuz i didnt no it was selling in stored… watevr.. i got buy 1 get 1 free…
Just tried this after also having bought it at Walgreens, and it DOES work. As someone else said, it would take way too long and be too much work to do instead of shaving, but I, too, plan to use it when I’m going to the gym and didn’t realize I needed a shave. Took hair off legs, but had to rub the applicator in circles more than 3 times each direction. There is a skin-irritation feeling but I haven’t applied moisturizer yet and that is supposed to help. I am just a bit concerned as to how it works–can real sandpaper actually remove hair? Maybe I’ll get some out of the garage…
400 - 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper works just as well or better. It will also wear away hair and skin. But gently sanding off hair and skin is not a quick process.
I bought the product from bed bath & beyond last week. I was so excited because i wouldn’t have to use a razor anymore. i used it that same day and turns out it DOES remove the hair on your arms & legs but it takes a LONG LONG time! It also exfoliates the skin which is really nice… but that was really the only good thing about the product. It does dry out your skin though which i did not like. Overall i didn’t like the product so i took it back the next day.
I recommend that if you really just wanna try it out for yourself buy the product from a store like bed bath & beyond because they have tons of them & its easy to return & there are no questions. You do not want to ever buy stuff like this off tv because most times they’ll charge your credit card monthly hoping that you wont notice. If you scroll up you’ll see they did it to terri.
btw i think they also sell it at wallgreens.
I bought this product at a big box retailer as well. Paid like $9 bucks for it. It WORKED GREAT! I cannot use chemicals due to allergies and have trouble using the old standby razors because of a hypersensitivity disorder. I was desperate after my last attempt with a razor. This products didnt take too long but my leg hair is very fine and thin. I do think I may have smoothed off my “tanned” color though. I havent applied any mousterizers yet though. I would recommend this product for people who cannot shave normally or use chemicals as it does work and didnt hurt. I do have a latex allergy though so if there is anything related to this I will know by morning! I never buy things off he TV either….wait for the stores to carry it because then it has been around a bit and may actually work!
I used smooth away and it was awesome! it didn’t hurt at all. my skin felt smooth afterwards, but it was sooooo dry. that was the only downside for me.
i haven’t used it on my face though.
I got it. Don;t work for the company. It worked well on my lower legs. No mess. the box says try a little area first so all the idiots who are complaining of huge areas of rashes are just morons who rubbed a mystery all over their nether regions without taking precautions.
Try a little area first. Go to bed. Wake up. If you hurt, stop using it- stupid.
When I purchased the “pads” they are -painless-, yet uncomfortable.
YES they do work,but do NOT rub roughly or else you will
wake up with redness on your skin.
If you have the patience, and do not want stubble, I recommend this product. But, it does not work on lotioned, damp, or chemical covered legs.
My daughters had purchased a kit from Walgreens. Honestly, it can be abrasive. The first leg I tried it on, was stinging when I applied the lotion afterwards. The other leg, arms and face were okay. I have to admit that I probably rubbed more than was necessary. It does smooth your legs and exfoliates them, but it is time consuming compared to just shaving and using an exfolating wash in the shower or tub. I am not saying it doesn’t do what they say it will, but I am not going to buy any more. Shaving with those Venus razor with aloe strips works just as well and is quicker!
I LOVE THE SMOOTH AWAY!
I DON’T KNOW WHAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT, BUT I LOVE IT!
IT WORKS 100% FOR ME AND DOESN’T CAUSE IRRITATION OR ANYTHING!
[MAYBE] IT WON’T WORK FOR SOME PEOPLE….BUT IT DOES FOR ME AND THAT MEANS THAT IT MIGHT FOR OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. IT’S SIMPLE AND TAKES A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME. I AM A SATISFIED CUSTOMER *****FIVE STARS. PS…THIS IS SOLD IN STORES, THAT IS WHERE I GOT IT FOR ONLY$9.00!
This smooth away product sucks on so many levels. I saw it TV and I wntd it but I didn’t order it bcuz watever is on TV wal-mart will hve eventually. N e who!! I bought it n wal-mart I got home and tried to use on my arm pits…didn’t wrk my bikini line…..didn’t wrk my face….didn’t wrk and finally my legs were the hair is so thin….it wrkd. If u hve a big bulk of hair dis products sucks where as if u hve a very very very very thin layer of hair dis products still sucks but it does remove da hair u can barely c n e way. I highly recommend u not to buy smooth away. Smooth away needs to smooth itslef out of the market. Oh yea I almost forgot….dis product SUCKS!!!!! And irritation 2 skin…dnt even get me strtd…
ummmm hey guys i have a prob i dono if i should use it or shouldnt because if it does then i will tottaly buy it but if it doesnt then -.- i would be quite upset !!! if you have then please tell me what i should do
im goin to make this quick
save your money
it doesnt work. it takes forever yet still leaves stubble. 1 pad for 1 and a half legs(and thats stretching it for a miser) yet it doesnt completely remove hai *sigh
you have no idea how i regret this buy.
I used “Smooth Away” on my face and ended up with a FIRST DEGREE BURN!!! This has been the worst pain I have ever encountered. I started rubbing the product on my face like the instructions said and ended up red and irritated. The next day I awoke to an enflamed, red & painful face and had to rush to the emergency room. I was on vacation and instead I’m laying in bed with a painful crusty face waiting day by day for it to heal before I can fly back home. I will never in my life use this product again!!!
Wow Jennifer i am sorry to here you went to the hospital over this product.I wamt to try this product to see if it works on me becouse i have a real sensitive bikinie line,but i am so confused whether to buy it or not.I have read all of the comments and wonder if i should or not,becouse some people say it works great and others say that it dosent work at all.Some people say that it couses irratation and redness others that after you use it the area is smooth and soft but just dry. Can anybody tell me strait on what i should do???!
It doesn’t work! I bought it for $10 at Wal-Mart and it was a rip off even for that! The pads you put onto the device to “smooth away” your unwanted hair are a smooth surface and barely any hair is even removed after repeated attempts. It would take forever for you to do your legs doing it the way you need to in order to actually get any hair to come off and then you still have a decent amount of stubble left over! I am just sticking to shaving!
Yes it does for some actually, I bought one and it didnt work for me but I have thicker leg hair and it left me a little stubbly but my mom used it and she has finer leg hair and it left her smooth. My sister uses it and it works great and works best with longer hairs that are thinner
Thanks so much for all the input! I was going to go out and purchase this product today. I’m sure glad I checked the internet first.
Just out of couriosity, is there a good product out there that removes hair without costing a fortune? (I have facial hair that I have to shave every other day and would love to not have to do that any more!)
Thanks again.
Well my mom bought this for me today at Wal-Mart and I am 13 years old and it worked great on me. At first I was using the product wrong witch led to dry skin and redness. Than I read the instructions (I really should have done that in the first place ^_^) and it really did work. Sure it was a tad bit dry but other than that i would recommend this product.
i bought it a few months ago in a store, and i was excited to try it, and when i finally did i was very dissapointed… it does remove a few hair but only if they are just starting to grow and dont seem to work any other place than the legs, it does leave your skin feeling smooth but it also irritates it…
!!!!? OH MY GOD !!!! DO NOT EVER EVER EVER EVER BUY THIS PRODUCT IT IS A JOKE! my friend and i went to the mall and bought the pack for 20 dollarrs ! she tried it on my friend and it burned and got red afterweards, that night at home we tried it together and when done (30 mins each leg) we realized not much had changed and it became red and bumpy and burned for both of us ! 5 hours later our legs are still burning and look almost sunburnt :S
:@ i dont reccoment it! but ever one is different !
SMOOTH AWAY ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT WORK! im so effin dissapointed because i didn’t want to shave my legs with a razor, so i tried smooth away. no results. it’s not worth your money.

im goin wit the people that say it does work cuz im sick of shaving i have to shave like once or 3 times a week nd its too much work nd in 2 days my stubble is alredy bac im goin wit smooth away fuck razors
it works ive used it and its sold in stores for all the dumb ass’s who are more then likly male and cant open there eyes and look. like they get shot but cant find the phone cause its in the couch =/
I bought this product online.. It removed all the hair on my legs and I did see dead skin falling so at the end so I would say the product works, But I wont recommend it, because my legs are so itchy,red and slightly swollen,and I fear I might have to go to the DR.
ok so I’m extremely confused right now. i just read all of these comments and even though half of you say it works and half of you say it doesn’t i think it does. i have not used this product yet, however, the people who say it does seem every convincing and for all the people who got burned, maybe you shouldn’t have rubbed so hard? i don’t know …just a suggestion…anyway i’m buying it soon and will post again to say if it REALLY does work or not
For those of you who are confused it is because it works on some people and not others. My friend and I bought it together at Walgreens and used it at the same time. Her legs were extremely smooth afterwards and mine were red and stubbly. We did the exact same thing I just have coarser and thicker hair than her so it didn’t work for me. I am happy for her though because she loves it, and I am just going to stick to shaving.
I recommend you just buy it and see if it works for you. If it does, great. If it doesn’t, just take it back, or even if you don’t it was only 10 bucks and was worth the try.
FUCK SMOOTH AWAY, i used it once and it worked but then where i used it my skin became irritated and completely broke up, but i thought it was from being sick but i decided to give it another try and it just happened again, it takes the hair away but leaves you breaking out -.- fuck that shit.
Omg! THIS DOES NOT WORK at all! its a waste of money!
1. we got it $10-cheap but it didnt remove 1 strand of haid on my arm, leg, or armpit.
2. If you call their costomer service, its a lady’s house, they give you someone else’s number!! 1-888-655-4119, is the number they give you, but its someone’s house number and it sounds like an older lady. and she gets like 300 per day! so dont call that number. its fake!!
3. one of their commericials says “paid actors” on the bottom of it.
SMOOTH AWAY IS FAKE! PLEASE IT WOULD KILL ME TO SEE THEM GET AN ORDER! Dont buy Smooth away! For your own good.
Pros and cons to this product. Took the hair off with little problem. Yes, it took too long, but one could use this product sitting down watching TV, a bonus for people with bad backs and such. The two major cons: looks like it dulled my tattoo a little bit and it has caused a major allergic reaction. I’ve not used it for a week and I STILL have itchy bumps all over my shins. So, there is my review for what it’s worth:)
I just used it on my upper lip. it got all the hair off but now its red and the pores look huge. hopefully this goes away! does anyone know if it grows back in thinner?
I bought the so called “Great” product and no it does NOT work! it really is like sand paper, actually I think all it is, is sandpaper with adhesive backing… its a shame that so called “top companies” are making this crap just to try and make profits (it’s really for their mortgage) DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IT IS A WASTE!!!

I’m pretty sure it just depends on the type of hair and skin you have.
Either the people who say it works for them work for the company that sells them…or, it actually did work for them. We will never really know.

btw i think they also sell it at wallgreens.

I bought this product at a big box retailer as well. Paid like $9 bucks for it. It WORKED GREAT! I cannot use chemicals due to allergies and have trouble using the old standby razors because of a hypersensitivity disorder. I was desperate after my last attempt with a razor. This products didnt take too long but my leg hair is very fine and thin. I do think I may have smoothed off my “tanned” color though. I havent applied any mousterizers yet though. I would recommend this product for people who cannot shave normally or use chemicals as it does work and didnt hurt. I do have a latex allergy though so if there is anything related to this I will know by morning! I never buy things off he TV either….wait for the stores to carry it because then it has been around a bit and may actually work!

does this work for facial hair or will it leave a mark or rash?
March 12th, 2009 at 9:43 am
I used smooth away and it was awesome! it didn’t hurt at all. my skin felt smooth afterwards, but it was sooooo dry. that was the only downside for me.
i haven’t used it on my face though.
March 12th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
I got it. Don;t work for the company. It worked well on my lower legs. No mess. the box says try a little area first so all the idiots who are complaining of huge areas of rashes are just morons who rubbed a mystery all over their nether regions without taking precautions.
Try a little area first. Go to bed. Wake up. If you hurt, stop using it- stupid.

RIP OFF RIP OFF. DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY
March 16th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Hi!
I am going to explain to you how this works.
When I purchased the “pads” they are -painless-, yet uncomfortable.
YES they do work,but do NOT rub roughly or else you will
wake up with redness on your skin.
If you have the patience, and do not want stubble, I recommend this product. But, it does not work on lotioned, damp, or chemical covered legs.
March 18th, 2009 at 2:01 am
My daughters had purchased a kit from Walgreens. Honestly, it can be abrasive. The first leg I tried it on, was stinging when I applied the lotion afterwards. The other leg, arms and face were okay. I have to admit that I probably rubbed more than was necessary. It does smooth your legs and exfoliates them, but it is time consuming compared to just shaving and using an exfolating wash in the shower or tub. I am not saying it doesn’t do what they say it will, but I am not going to buy any more. Shaving with those Venus razor with aloe strips works just as well and is quicker!

I LOVE THE SMOOTH AWAY!
*****FIVE STARS. PS…THIS IS SOLD IN STORES, THAT IS WHERE I GOT IT FOR ONLY$9.00!
I DON’T KNOW WHAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT, BUT I LOVE IT!
IT WORKS 100% FOR ME AND DOESN’T CAUSE IRRITATION OR ANYTHING!
[MAYBE] IT WON’T WORK FOR SOME PEOPLE….BUT IT DOES FOR ME AND THAT MEANS THAT IT MIGHT FOR OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. IT’S SIMPLE AND TAKES A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME. I AM A SATISFIED CUSTOMER

This smooth away product sucks on so many levels. I saw it TV and I wntd it but I didn’t order it bcuz watever is on TV wal-mart will hve eventually. N e who!! I bought it n wal-mart I got home and tried to use on my arm pits…didn’t wrk my bikini line…..didn’t wrk my face….didn’t wrk and finally my legs were the hair is so thin….it wrkd. If u hve a big bulk of hair dis products sucks where as if u hve a very very very very thin layer of hair dis products still sucks but it does remove da hair u can barely c n e way. I highly recommend u not to buy smooth away. Smooth away needs to smooth itslef out of the market. Oh yea I almost forgot….dis product SUCKS!!!!! And irritation 2 skin…dnt even get me strtd…

April 1st, 2009 at 8:37 am
Take a close look. It’s 3M wet dry sandpaper. Use it to smooth bondo, and remove hair!
April 9th, 2009 at 9:55 am
I just bought it today, it totally works. Ya, a bit dry, but who cares, smooth as a baby’s butt.
April 12th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
im goin to make this quick
save your money
it doesnt work. it takes forever yet still leaves stubble. 1 pad for 1 and a half legs(and thats stretching it for a miser) yet it doesnt completely remove hai *sigh
you have no idea how i regret this buy.
April 19th, 2009 at 9:51 am
I used “Smooth Away” on my face and ended up with a FIRST DEGREE BURN!!! This has been the worst pain I have ever encountered. I started rubbing the product on my face like the instructions said and ended up red and irritated. The next day I awoke to an enflamed, red & painful face and had to rush to the emergency room. I was on vacation and instead I’m laying in bed with a painful crusty face waiting day by day for it to heal before I can fly back home. I will never in my life use this product again!!!
April 25th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
Wow Jennifer i am sorry to here you went to the hospital over this product.I wamt to try this product to see if it works on me becouse i have a real sensitive bikinie line,but i am so confused whether to buy it or not.I have read all of the comments and wonder if i should or not,becouse some people say it works great and others say that it dosent work at all.Some people say that it couses irratation and redness others that after you use it the area is smooth and soft but just dry. Can anybody tell me strait on what i should do???!
May 18th, 2009 at 11:21 am
It doesn’t work! I bought it for $10 at Wal-Mart and it was a rip off even for that! The pads you put onto the device to “smooth away” your unwanted hair are a smooth surface and barely any hair is even removed after repeated attempts. It would take forever for you to do your legs doing it the way you need to in order to actually get any hair to come off and then you still have a decent amount of stubble left over! I am just sticking to shaving!
May 28th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Yes it does for some actually, I bought one and it didnt work for me but I have thicker leg hair and it left me a little stubbly but my mom used it and she has finer leg hair and it left her smooth. My sister uses it and it works great and works best with longer hairs that are thinner
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:35 am
Thanks so much for all the input! I was going to go out and purchase this product today. I’m sure glad I checked the internet first.
Just out of couriosity, is there a good product out there that removes hair without costing a fortune? (I have facial hair that I have to shave every other day and would love to not have to do that any more!)
Thanks again.
July 3rd, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Well my mom bought this for me today at Wal-Mart and I am 13 years old and it worked great on me. At first I was using the product wrong witch led to dry skin and redness. Than I read the instructions (I really should have done that in the first place ^_^) and it really did work. Sure it was a tad bit dry but other than that i would recommend this product.
July 6th, 2009 at 11:19 am
well, it’s sold in wal-mart… but it’s like, 10 dollars… and really i haven’t used it bit i plan on it soon…
July 6th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
i bought it a few months ago in a store, and i was excited to try it, and when i finally did i was very dissapointed… it does remove a few hair but only if they are just starting to grow and dont seem to work any other place than the legs, it does leave your skin feeling smooth but it also irritates it…
July 9th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
!!!!? OH MY GOD !!!! DO NOT EVER EVER EVER EVER BUY THIS PRODUCT IT IS A JOKE! my friend and i went to the mall and bought the pack for 20 dollarrs ! she tried it on my friend and it burned and got red afterweards, that night at home we tried it together and when done (30 mins each leg) we realized not much had changed and it became red and bumpy and burned for both of us ! 5 hours later our legs are still burning and look almost sunburnt :S
:@ i dont reccoment it! but ever one is different !
July 10th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
SMOOTH AWAY ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT WORK! im so effin dissapointed because i didn’t want to shave my legs with a razor, so i tried smooth away. no results. it’s not worth your money.
July 16th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
shut up fuckers, be a little fucking patient, it does work. not in three circles, but it works. fuck

July 20th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
I paid $35 + GST from stampede calgary. I have very little hair on my leg the pad works for about 10 mins of use and then nothing! It’s crap I’m trying to see if there is anyway I can return it.
What a waste of money.

August 2nd, 2009 at 11:17 pm
I bought this product online.. It removed all the hair on my legs and I did see dead skin falling so at the end so I would say the product works, But I wont recommend it, because my legs are so itchy,red and slightly swollen,and I fear I might have to go to the DR.
August 5th, 2009 at 1:06 am
ok so I’m extremely confused right now. i just read all of these comments and even though half of you say it works and half of you say it doesn’t i think it does. i have not used this product yet, however, the people who say it does seem every convincing and for all the people who got burned, maybe you shouldn’t have rubbed so hard? i don’t know …just a suggestion…anyway i’m buying it soon and will post again to say if it REALLY does work or not
August 6th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
I just bought it today to try it and it doesn’t work. fail.
August 11th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
For those of you who are confused it is because it works on some people and not others. My friend and I bought it together at Walgreens and used it at the same time. Her legs were extremely smooth afterwards and mine were red and stubbly. We did the exact same thing I just have coarser and thicker hair than her so it didn’t work for me. I am happy for her though because she loves it, and I am just going to stick to shaving.
I recommend you just buy it and see if it works for you. If it does, great. If it doesn’t, just take it back, or even if you don’t it was only 10 bucks and was worth the try.
August 28th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Product works! got it at HEB 9.99. Amazing!
November 13th, 2009 at 9:28 am
FUCK SMOOTH AWAY, i used it once and it worked but then where i used it my skin became irritated and completely broke up, but i thought it was from being sick but i decided to give it another try and it just happened again, it takes the hair away but leaves you breaking out -.- fuck that shit.
December 7th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Omg! THIS DOES NOT WORK at all! its a waste of money!
1. we got it $10-cheap but it didnt remove 1 strand of haid on my arm, leg, or armpit.
2. If you call their costomer service, its a lady’s house, they give you someone else’s number!! 1-888-655-4119, is the number they give you, but its someone’s house number and it sounds like an older lady. and she gets like 300 per day! so dont call that number. its fake!!
3. one of their commericials says “paid actors” on the bottom of it.
SMOOTH AWAY IS FAKE! PLEASE IT WOULD KILL ME TO SEE THEM GET AN ORDER! Dont buy Smooth away! For your own good.

Pros and cons to this product. Took the hair off with little problem. Yes, it took too long, but one could use this product sitting down watching TV, a bonus for people with bad backs and such. The two major cons: looks like it dulled my tattoo a little bit and it has caused a major allergic reaction. I’ve not used it for a week and I STILL have itchy bumps all over my shins. So, there is my review for what it’s worth:)
January 11th, 2010 at 12:06 pm
wow thank god i read these comments i thought that this product was the shit but after reading these comments yeah its the shit…literally..
January 11th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
well ill just stick to waxing its better and cleaner
January 12th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
DOES NOT WORK! Do not believe the people that say it does.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:36 am
I just used it on my upper lip. it got all the hair off but now its red and the pores look huge. hopefully this goes away! does anyone know if it grows back in thinner?
January 28th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
I bought the so called “Great” product and no it does NOT work! it really is like sand paper, actually I think all it is, is sandpaper with adhesive backing… its a shame that so called “top companies” are making this crap just to try and make profits (it’s really for their mortgage) DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IT IS A WASTE!!!
