The best hair removal creams for quick and easy results

No matter whether your skin is sensitive or tough as nails, Veet's long beloved hair removal cream is bound to work for you. Although it does have the classic hair removal cream scent, the smell is non-ammonia, so won't knock your nostrils out. This is because they've recently changed their ingredients to have 35 per cent fewer chemical ingredients. That means no burning or irritation. Overall, Veet's cream is a tried and tested favourite and is a reliable product to get the results you want.

Customer review: "My daughter got this she has quite coarse hair and we have found other products do not do the job!! Tbh she has got really sensitive skin but this had such good reviews we thought to give it a go !! And perfectly removed hair little tip use the spatula to remove most of the hair then a warm flannel wipe and it will remove the stubborn hairs very pleased with it and the smell is ok too!"

Rated Amazon's Choice for "hair removal cream", Veet succeeds again on making our list, but for a slightly different reason this time. Although the ingredients are identical to that above, we love this Pure Inspirations version because of its pump bottle. This makes applying in places like the shower so much easier than squeezing cream out of a tube. This version of Veet's formula contains aloe vera and vitamin E, hydrating the most sensitive of skin.

Customer review: "I have dark thick hair and loads of it. The last time I tried this product was five years ago. They have definitely changed the formula, as it works way better now than it did back then. The hair is removed quickly and doesn't need a massively thick layer to do so. However, it doesn't remove down to the root - you get a result similar to, or slightly better than, shaving. Hair grows back at the same rate as shaving. That said, it's about as fast as shaving and doesn't cause any cuts or bumps, and regrowth is not red and bumpy either. I'd say it's better than shaving if you have sensitive skin."

If your family genes have blessed you with thick, dark hair on your body, you know the struggle of finding a hair removal cream that'll properly work. Nair's tough hair cream is specially formulated to tackle this problem. Although it eliminates tough hair with ease, it is also extremely moisturising. With lily flower extract & cotton seed, the formula is enriched to make it suitable for even dry or sensitive skin.

Customer review: "I have very coarse dark hair and my previous hair remover just wasn't working, I had to keep it on far too long and it still didn't remove all the hair. I used Nair for the first time and it worked perfectly. I kept it on for 10 mins but I don't even think I needed that long because it removed all that stubborn coarse hair smoothly and with no burning sensation. I used this under my chin. Very happy with this product."

You have to be careful finding a facial hair removal method because although you can hide a bad shaving rash under your trousers, you can't get away with hiding your face. However, we've done the research and one of the best hair removal creams for facial hair is Nads. This kit includes both the pain-free cream, which works in as little as four minutes, as well as a soothing moisturising balm. With cocoa and shea butter extracts, this balm helps calm any redness and helps rejuvenate the skin cells. Make sure to do a patch test before diving in. If hair removal cream doesn't work, we also recommend giving waxing your face a go.

Customer review: "I've tried all sorts of 'sensitive' hair removal cream brands with all manner of nasty results. This product is the only one I've used with no nasty side effects. It did take 2 applications to totally remove all the facial hair, but I'm so pleased I've found something I can use."

It is universally agreed that the most stressful part of the body to remove hair from is the private parts. Shaving can leave red rashes, and tweezing takes forever and is unbelievably painful. If only there was a hair removal cream that one could use down there. Well, there is! The Woo Woo Tame It! In-shower cream can be used anywhere on the body, including intimate areas, with amazing results. Formulated with aloe vera and softening jojoba oil, this cream is also completely vegan. Prices start from £6.99 for 50ml (perfect if you are curious and want to try it out) up to £18.95 for 200ml.

Customer review: "Just wow. I used this cream cause I was so done with razor rash, and the effort of getting it waxed didn't fit into my schedule. This is so much easier and works a lot quicker. I had to apply a couple of times before I got a full hair removal, but that's because I had just let it grow for a little while. But when you get that smooth skin, it's honestly the best feeling and makes you feel so confident in yourself. I will definitely be restocking cause I could never go back to razors now!"

The only downside to using hair removal cream is that it can take a while to apply to the skin. You want to get a good layer on there, without getting the cream anywhere it shouldn't be. If you want to cut down your time using hair removal cream - why not try Veet's spray-on version? As always, Veet's cream is formulated for sensitive skin, with aloe vera and vitamin E. Plus, with this spray-on method, it's easier to get to hard-to-reach places like your back or the backs of your legs. Just apply in a place with easy clean-up in case you spray off kilter (like a bathroom or outside).

Customer review: "Great hair remover. So much easier spraying it on, instead of having to get messy with your hands. I just about covered all areas with one spray bottle. A bit expensive, would defo buy more if it was cheaper."
