General Comments

On June 6th, I used a very popular product called Veet Rasera. Their website touts: "Veet's new Bladeless Razor Kit, Rasera, is a revolutionary new way to shave! The gel cream works in just 3 minutes and then you can quickly and easily remove hair with the Bladeless Razor tool. It has been specially designed without a blade so that you don't have to worry about dry skin or cuts. You can work quickly even on tricky parts such as the knees with perfect control - for close hair removal. Your skin feels soft and silky smooth for up to twice as long as shaving." What it doesn't tell you is that it can cause chemical burns and dissolve your fingernails. This is what
happened to me. I went to the doctor and he told me that these depilatories use chemicals containing enzymes that breakdown the keratin in the hair and unfortunately that is what our fingernails are made of as well. The product took off many layers of my fingernails and caused chemical burns on my legs and arms. I followed all the instructions to the letter, AND used a timer. There is no warning on the label ANYWHERE that states: "Will possibly dissolve fingernails as well" I contacted the company and they said, " We will have someone look into it and get back to you. " and I have not heard anything as of yet. When asked what they would do for me, all they offered was a refund for the purchase price of the product. I am not looking to get rich, sue, or defame the company; I just want what I feel is fair and also to WARN others of the dangers that are swept under the rug. I think that a warning should be put on the product itself.

    It does say on the bottle to make sure to test on one patch of skin first, and advises you to wash your hands immediately after applying the cream.
