Well, I was really exited when I got this product. Finally I could get rid of these hair. On TV they showed how they went to the beach and instantly removed hair from people's legs. Well, I'm not sure how they did it, but they definately did not use Epil Stop!!. Firstly, on TV it looks like it works immediately - no such luck. You have to leave it on for a long time before it removes any hair and by that time your skin burns like crazy. It did not leave too bad marks, but my skin was sensitive for a long time. I learned my lesson - There is a reason why they sell these products ONLY on TV. It's because no store would sell these. There are other products that does work and which are sold in shops and pharmacies. These have been tested and are safe even though they smell quite bad. Take my advice - if you need something like this, go to a pharmacy and get the right advice - not empty promises and painfull results....

I purchased the spray and used it as directed. I ended up with severe burns on my neck, permanent burns. This extremely a dangerous product. Igia Epil Stop should be held liable for damages. I'm scarred for life. I'm currently seeking an attorney to sue for damages. Please advise.

This Igia Epil Stop is pure TRASH! Don't buy it! It didn't remove much hair at all -- the only thing it did do was give me a rash and some painful blisters. I don't know how those informercials are made to look so credible, but now I know NOT to believe everything I see!

This stuff is /junk/. I can't believe they're still selling it! I was one of the people who got suckered in by the ad a few years ago, thinking, "What the heck?" Fortunately, I was able to pick up a slightly-used package for three bucks plus postage on [] to test before committing my money, because it turned out to be unusable. Not only did the hair on my legs /not/ come off, I ended up with a hole burnt in my upper lip. Epil Stop is /horrible/. Since then, I've found the best hair-removal method to be Veet. It's a little pricey, but it's every bit as easy and quick as the ads promise. (I'm not connected to the company that makes Veet, I just /really/ like the product.)

This stuff is crazy. A few years ago I tried it on my chest and some of it got on my nipple (i'm a guy) and it burned off the tip of my nipple. It was so painful. The pain lastest a few weeks until the top grew back. I wrote to them but they ignored me. Coun't bring them to court because I couldn't afford it. So be wise don't use this stuff.

This stuff is lethal. It gave my Significant Other serious burns, and gave me first degree burns on every part of my body it came in contact with. It does not remove hair, but will definitely remove the top layer of skin and is potentially dangerous. On the plus side, I suppose it will remove rust and lime from your bathtub...but use gloves.

This product claimed to remove hair and leave skin smooth for weeks. Indeed it did remove my leg hair, skin and all! I purchased this in a drug store after I had seen commercials for a couple years. My legs bled, and I had a rash for several weeks after. This is definately a product I would avoid, especially before summer vacation.

I'm a rather hairy guy and I was looking for a way to remove my back-hair. I followed the instructions and sprayed the foul smelling stuff on my back and waited in agony for five minutes for the product to work, in short It did'nt remove any hair, burned like hell and left my skin bright red. What a waste

What kind of bodies do those people on the infomercial have!? Do they just wax ahead of time and then glue fake hair on their bodies? Are they really just using regular lotion to "wipe" the "hair" away? They must be, because this stuff stinks so bad there's no way they can fake those smiles. These people need to drop the Epil and Stop the insanity. I was sensable enough to test it on part of my leg - that I can wear pants over - before buying myself some embarassing visible burns. The only thing I wiped away was skin and cream. I bought this crap to avoid the pain of waxing, but at least with waxing I get what I pay for and I get rid of unwanted hair. The only thing I got rid of with this junk were short skirts and my money. False advertising. Sue the bums!!

I was really interested in trying this product because they advertised that it was so quick and allowed hair to grow back very slowly-even to somewhat stop the growth. I thought it was a great deal: no more razors, no painful waxing... just wipe the hair off your body! On TV, they demonstrated the removal of male chest hairs...It seemed SOOOO easy and perfect for my husband that wanted to get ride of his! I purchased the product, received it pretty quickly and started reading the "how to use" intructions. I convinced my husband to try it first on a small area of his chest, he shouldn't have agreed to it!!! Leaving the required amount of this product on, for the time they suggested, my husband ended up with a second degree burn! I called the compagny, furious, and told them what happened. They agreed to give me my money back but that was it! Not having the time, nor the money, I couldn't do anything else (i.e. court).

I tried this product a few years back. I've tried other products like this with no results. Epil-stop was the same thing all over again. I didn't get a burning sensation, but it didn't work. It took off a few hairs, but not enough. I wasted like, 15 bucks. I say, save your money and stick with either wax or a razor. At least those methods work for certain.

This product does not work. You will get burned before you get rid of the unwanted hair. And yes, I do know how to follow directions very well. You do not have to get wet you will feel that burning sensation in minutes. I'll stick to the old school stuff. Nair, or cold wax removal.

When I saw how great it looked on TV, I decided to buy it. My cousin suggested to just try it on my back to see if it would get off light hair. Well to my surprise, it started burning a little, so I waited then after like 8 minutes I was yelling wipe it off!! Hurry!! It burns, the more she wiped, the worse it burned. So I told her to spray water on my back, I nearly fell to the floor when the water hit it oooh my gosh burned sooo bad. Finally after crying while she wiped the rest my cousin told me there where blisters and skin missing on my back. I had to put gobs of neosporin and clear wrap so it wouldn't stick to my clothes. It took around a week or two to go away. I was so mad and now I think twice about buy some crap that looks so wonderful on TV.

I bought the epil-stop citrus spray at a local sally Beauty Supply on clearance for $10. When I got home I tried to spray it on my legs, the pump didnt work. So I put on some non-latex gloves and spread the crap on my legs. Bad idea. After 5 minutes I felt a burnings ensatin. I figured it was just "working the way it should be". After the 10 minutes of agony I couldnt stand it anymore. I took a dry wash cloth and wiped the crap off the best I could. It only removed some sporadic hairs and not even all the way, more like halfway. I had to rinse my legs with cold water for a few minutes to staunch the burning feeling. I threw that bottle in the garbage after that ordeal. My legs were red and sore for almost a week! Vey tender to the touch, much like getting really bad sunburn is what it looked and felt like.

DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT. If you could see what my back looked like after only leaving the product on my skin for about half the usual time, it would scare the crap out of you. I had severe 2nd degree burns anywhere this stuff touched and I've never had a bad reaction to nair. Also, because of a reaction between the chemicals in this toxic solution, I was unable to put any kind of burn relief cream or Aloe on it and just had to tough it out.

This is by far the worst hair removal product I have ever used. I bought and applied, as directed, the Epil-Stop product one day before I was suppose to go on a date hiking. I wanted my legs and parts of my face to be hairless and smoothe. What I have as I write this, is an upper lip and both my legs spotted with chemical burns and/or razor-burn-like rashes. And guess what, I didn't go hiking because I was afraid of wearing shorts and exposing the burns to the elements. I did go out on the date, but I felt embarassed by the dark pink blotches on my face which I tried covering up with a ton of concealor. I bought this Epil-Stop crap on impulse and feel stupid for not doing research on it before I tried it. It is extremely unethical to allow a product on the market that does the kind of serious damage to skin that Epil-Stop does. The people and company who decided to allow this product on the market must be sued and put out of business. By the way, I am sticking to Nair and razors!

The stuff burns and doesnt hardly take any hair off. I can see a lot of other people complained about it too. I didn't send it back. Just too lazy to I guess. I threw it in the trash.

I used this spray and it removed the hair and the skin. I have horrible chemical burns on my legs that are going to leave scars. I could not even get my money back because I did not have the receipt from the purchase. The kick in the pants for me is the fact that a week later my legs are still bleeding and raw but you can see that the hairs have grown back just fine!!
