CirepilForte - 400g / 14.11 oz Wax Tin - Unscented - Honey Texture - Perfect for Large Areas - Best for Short, Coarse & Stubborn Hair - Strips Needed

Best wax, high quality, easy to use.

I was very surprised that this wax was very comfortable to use. I could tell that it hurt less than the other wax brand I was using! I was a little concerned because the container did not fix my salon smooth basin but I was able to place it on top of the basin so the wax melted down. My fault not checking the container size. I give the wax 5 stars.

I've used the cheap brands like Gigi and Sally Hansen, which would eat get 1 star from me. Cirepil Forte gets 3 for being a good soft wax, but maybe not good for me. It left me red and I wasn't crazy about how quickly it set, making it a little messy for me. Could be the humidity, or the fact that I like to do large areas and speed wax. I think this wax would work very well for most people and most techniques. When my Forte ran out, I bought the Cirepil Cristal Ocean soft wax and that got 5 stars from me. Much easier on my sensitive skin and incredible for speed waxing!

This wax does not come off well. It is the stickiest thing ever. I have used two different types of strips and many different ways of applying it, but it still has the same issue. The only way to get it off is to use a strip and take the wax off like normal. Then to use some witch haze on a cotton ball and scrub all the residue off. It takes a fair amount of pressure and scrubbing to get it off. Which does not feel good when your skin is tender from waxing. This wax will pull some hairs out but not even close to the full amount. I have to tweeze a ton after which is pointless when I’m waxing. The temperature and thickness is fine.

I cannot believe, simply cannot believe how much nicer this wax is then the previous brand I was using. Nor can I believe how much more hair it removes then my previous brand. It is like night and day. Given its outstanding performance, you might think it is harsh to the skin, but that has not been my experience. In fact, it is gentler then my previous brand. It is very sticky, hard to wash off residue. I got some in my hair and had to cut it out.

Well I should have listened to the description that said “for professional use only.” This was my second attempt in my lifetime to wax my legs myself. The first I used the GiGi wax that came in the warmer kit and I recall it being a traumatic experience so I vowed to never wax my legs myself again. I write this now as the world is shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic so the place I normally go to get my legs waxed has been closed for nearly a month now with no reopen days in sight. I though, ok, let’s try again, what’s the worst that can happen?I can say for sure this was not as traumatic as my first attempt about 10 years ago, but also, I don’t think I’m ever going to try this myself again. The wax was so liquidy that it ended up dripping EVERYWHERE. I laid out stuff around me to catch the drips but it still ended up getting on illogical places. I only managed to wax the lower half of both of my legs before I gave up.It did take the hair off with ease and there wasn’t any more or less irritation than when I go get my legs professionally waxed, but the time and effort that goes into this whole process is just not worth it for me. If the wax wasn’t so drippy, I think this would have been great, which is why I give it 4 stars. If you know what you’re doing, this is probably a great wax, but I have no idea what I’m doing and it was a fricken mess!

Best product I've used for coarse chin hairs got it all with one strip

Use it for my face and under arms. This is my second time buying and it works great.
