Product Overview
Surgi-Cream is a well established Brand which has been manufacturing depilatory creams in the USA for many years.
Surgi-Cream facial hair removal cream is an extra gentle depilatory specially designed for use on the face, by those with sensitive skin.
It is for use on the cheeks, upper lip and chin. This product is not meant to be used for eyebrows and should be kept away from the eyes.
Hair is removed from just below the skin's surface and results should last, on average, anything from 10 days to 2 weeks. However, this will vary from person to person as hair growth rates are different for each individual.
There is also a Surgi Cream hair removal cream for the Bikini Line and Legs available.
What You Get
In the box, you get one 28g (1oz) tube of Surgi Cream hair removal cream, one 14g (0.5oz) tube of Surgi-Soothe cream for after-use and a plastic spatula.
Also included is an instruction leaflet detailing how to test prior to use, how to use and any relevant precautions you need to observe.
The product retails at just less than $7, which seems pretty good value for what you get. I guess just how good depends on how much hair you have to remove, which will obviously affect how many usages you get from the tube.
A Look at Surgi Cream Facial Hair Removal Cream
The first thing I noticed when opening the cream was that the scent was not unpleasant, especially in comparison to many other depilatory creams I have used.
The addition of the after cream is a good bonus, and is designed to soothe and moisturize the skin. It also claims to retard hair growth.
I thought the spatula that is included is quite bit big for the face - but I suppose if you are treating a relatively wide area it would be good. It is rigid plastic but with a softer plastic end to place against the skin of the face.
What are the Ingredients?
It is obviously important to know what is in the cream, if you know you are allergic to any particular chemicals.

Is it Effective?
Speaking personally, I found that the cream was effective after about 6 minutes for my fine facial hair, and had little odour at all.
I have sensitive skin myself, but did not have any reaction to the ingredients and it worked well for me.
I liked the after cream, which was very pleasant and left the skin nicely moisturised - time will tell as to whether it really does inhibit re-growth.
The majority of reviews on the internet are positive so, combining this with my own experience, I feel that I can genuinely recommend the product as good for purpose.
