Depilatory creams work on dissolving the keratin in hair so it can easily be wiped away. However, the creams do not work on the root of the hair so results are temporary. Hair usually starts growing back within days depending on the person.

There are a number of ingredients in depilatory creams which act on the hair breaking down the bonds in the hair. Because the chemical agents can be very strong, it is important to use a depilatory cream that is specifically designed for that section of the body. There are hair removal creams designed for the face, the legs and the bikini area. Facial hair removal will require a more delicate depilatory than leg hair removal. It is also important to patch test an area of the skin with the depilatory cream to make sure that unusual redness, swelling and other skin issues do not occur.

Depilatories work in minutes depending on the area of the body you use them on. There may be a slight pink coloration to the skin, especially when used for facial hair removal for women, as facial skin can be very sensitive and delicate.

Aside from there ease of use and affordability another nice benefit of depilatory creams is you can easily get into small nooks and crannies, that may be hard to reach with other methods. Most cream depilatories also are enriched with oils or lanolin to soften and smooth the skin. Depilatory cream comes in a variety of forms including spray, cream and gels.
