Veet is a hair removal product available in either cream or wax strip form. The Veet cream contains active ingredients that break down hair strands for easy removal, while the wax strips use warm wax that hardens to remove hair effectively. Though both options have their own advantages, there are some potential risks. This guide will show you how to safely use Veet hair removal products.
Steps
Remove hair with Veet cream in 3 minutes

Apply a small amount of cream to the area you wish to remove hair from. Wait 24 hours to check for any reactions.
- If you have any skin conditions or are on medication that affects your skin, consult a doctor before using the cream.
- If no allergic reactions occur, you can proceed with using the cream.
- Do not use cream that is discolored or has damaged packaging.
- Avoid letting the cream come into contact with metal or fabric, as it may damage or discolor them. If you accidentally spill it, rinse the surface immediately with water.
- Keep Veet hair removal cream out of reach of children. In case of accidental ingestion, immediately take the child to a doctor and show them the product.
Apply cream to the palm of your hand. Only take enough cream to cover the area you wish to remove hair from.
- Avoid getting the cream in your eyes. If the cream gets in your eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water and seek medical attention immediately.
Apply the cream to the area you want to remove hair from. Use the spatula provided with the product to spread the cream evenly over the targeted area.
- Apply the cream to the skin’s surface rather than rubbing it into the pores.
- Veet hair removal cream is designed for use on the legs, arms, underarms, and bikini area. Do not apply the cream to your face, head, chest, or intimate areas, as these areas may experience severe irritation and burns. If you apply the cream to these areas and feel discomfort, gently wash it off and consult a doctor for advice.
- Avoid applying cream to moles, scars, blemished skin, or sunburned areas. Do not use the cream on skin that has been shaved within the past 72 hours.
- Avoid contact with broken or inflamed skin. If the cream touches open skin, rinse immediately with warm water and a 3% boric acid solution. Consult a doctor if pain persists after cleaning the skin.
- Do not apply the cream immediately after a hot shower. This cream contains alkalis and thioglycolates that can irritate sensitive skin.

Leave the cream on the skin for 3 minutes. Be mindful of the time, as leaving the cream on for too long can cause severe irritation.
- If you experience pain or a tingling sensation during use, remove the cream immediately and rinse with water. If the sensation persists, consult a doctor.
Gently use the spatula to scrape off the cream. First, use one end of the spatula to test a small area of skin. If the hair can be easily removed, proceed to scrape off the entire cream.
- Use a soft sponge or cloth to clean off the cream if the spatula is too harsh.
- If needed, you can leave the cream on longer before removing it. However, do not exceed 6 minutes, as this may cause irritation and burning sensations on the skin.
Rinse your skin with warm water. Wash off any remaining cream and hair.
- The best way to do this is by taking a shower and using a loofah or soft sponge to gently scrub the treated area.
Gently pat the skin dry with a soft towel. Be gentle as the skin remains delicate after using the hair removal product.
- Always wait 72 hours before applying cream again. This will help reduce discomfort and skin irritation.
- Do not apply deodorant or perfume to freshly treated skin, nor should you expose it to sunlight for 24 hours after hair removal. The skin is still soft and highly sensitive to both sunlight and chemicals in these products.
Hair Removal with Convenient Wax Strips

Place a small wax strip on the area you want to remove hair from, then use the included Perfect Finish wet wipe to clean the area. Observe your skin for 24 hours to ensure the wax does not cause any irritation.
- If there is no irritation, the wax strip is safe to use.
- For first-time users, start with the legs as it is the least sensitive area on the body. Once you gain experience, try using it on more sensitive areas like the underarms and bikini area.
- Avoid using the strip on areas that have previously been waxed.
- If you are taking medication that affects your skin, consult a doctor before using the Veet wax strips.
- Do not use the wax strips if you are elderly or diabetic, as there may be severe health risks.
- Pregnant women can also use the wax strips; however, their skin may bruise more easily.
Clean the area you want to remove hair from. You can shower or use a towel to wipe away any dirt or debris left on the skin.
- Pat the skin dry after washing. Water can reduce the adhesion of the wax on the skin.
Rub the wax strip between your hands for 5 seconds. This will warm the strip and make it adhere better to the hair.
- The traditional method of waxing involves warming the thick wax solution in a microwave or warm water. Although Veet wax strips do not require such a complex process, they still need some warmth before hair removal.
Slowly peel the wax strip apart. You can reuse the strip until it no longer sticks together.
Place the strip on your skin and rub it continuously. Rub the strip in the direction of hair growth.
- When removing hair from your legs, rub the strip from the knee down to the ankle.
- Be mindful like you would with hair removal cream. Do not apply the strip to your head, face, intimate areas, or other sensitive skin. Avoid using it on varicose veins, moles, scars, or allergic skin.
- If you notice any allergic reactions, use the included Perfect Finish wet wipe to clean the wax off. Alternatively, you can use cotton balls soaked in baby oil or oil to remove the wax, as it cannot be washed off with water.
- The hair should be at least 2-5mm long for the strip to work effectively. Hair shorter than 2mm may not adhere to the wax and will not be removed properly when you pull off the strip.
Remove the strip immediately. The faster you pull, the more hair you will remove.
- Peel the strip in the opposite direction of hair growth. This increases the effectiveness of the hair removal.
- One hand should hold the skin taut to prevent it from wrinkling, ensuring the strip stays parallel to the skin. This will maximize hair removal and minimize discomfort.
- Avoid pulling the strip at an angle, as it may break the hair strands.
Use the Perfect Finish wet wipe to clean the waxed area. Alternatively, you can take a shower to remove any remaining wax on your skin.
- Wait 24 hours before applying deodorants, perfumes, or exposing the area to sunlight. Freshly waxed skin remains sensitive, and these activities can cause irritation or discomfort.
