Similar to deodorant, this lightweight, nonsticky topical serum glides onto skin through its rollerball—there’s no need to touch the formula at all. “It’s simple to apply and contains multiple AHAs and BHAs (salicylic acid, gylcolic acid, willow bark) that exfoliate the skin,” says Dr. Shainhouse. Meanwhile, niacinamide, centella, and allantoin bring down swelling and inflammation from body hair removal—great for especially sensitive skin.
“I always find myself going back to this hair tonic the minute I step out of the shower. It’s handheld and easy to use, and is so gentle, even if I have a little nick or cut. The serum itself is extremely lightweight, feels like you’re barely applying anything at all, and dries down extremely quickly so there’s no wait time between application and putting clothes on. My bikini line area is more even-toned than ever before with this one too, as it targets discoloration with ease” says Glamour’s Kilkeary.
