Item Description
I suffer badly from the occasional razor bump... I do not get them all the time, but when I do, I get them bad, and seem to take forever to go. I basically had got used to having 4 or 5 ugly red bumps on my lower neck for the last.... well - for as long as I can remember.
I have previously tried Tend Skin, which I did get some success with but only up to a certain point (i.e. it reduced the bumps about 70%, but didn't quite manage to get rid of them) and PFB Vanish, which worked like a charm for a few days then just stopped working. I've tried Tea Tre Oil, Witch Hazel and pretty much every other 'remedy' for shaving nasties I could find. None of them lived up to expectation.
A friend of mine told me they had seen an ingrown hair treatment on a website that was 'supposed to be good' - turned out to be Anthony Ingrown Hair Treatment. At this point quite frankly, I was willing to give anything a go, in the hope it would be the miracle product I have been seeking. So I went to investigate.
My first reaction - 25 pounds?! Very expensive (although i'm sure it's cheaper in the States). What the hell I thought - this would be my last try with yet another new product before I handed in the towel and went to see a dermatologist.
Product arrived, and I was glad and somewhat relieved to see it was a fairly good sized container. I proceeded to do my usual routine when I try to get rid of my razor bumps using a new treatment - not shave for 4 or 5 days, and apply the treatment twice a day. The Anthony treatment is a thin gel dispensed from a pump, that is easy to massage onto your face... no cotton balls needed here. It is not as harsh as products like Tend Skin, and at most gives you a tingle instead of a face burning sting.
5 days later? I was amazed. All but the smallest traces of the nasty red razor bumps had gone. And even though it says on the packaging it will take up to 4 weeks for it to do it's job, i'm convinced in a few more days I will have 100% clear skin. This is simply the best ingrown/red bump treatment I have ever used. Yes it's expensive, but it works (for me anyway!). You only need to use a small amount (about a third of a full pump deposit) so I think it will last a fair while - especially considering i've gone down to only using it every other day now.
Price - 7
It is an expensive product, but i've given it a seven because I think you will get quite a bit of use from one bottle.
Quality - 10
Top quality all the way!
Latherability - NA
Not designed to lather.
Moisturizing - NA
Not designed to moisturize. Although it is worth noting that it absorbs into your skin pretty quickly.
Scent - 8
Not a scent you will particularly desire, but i've given it an 8 because it smell so much better than any other in grown hair treatment i've used (i.e. not like a chemical spill!)
Efficacy - 10
Absolutely fantastic! It works so well.
Packaging - 9
Convenient easy to use pump dispenser. Didn't give it a 10 as on a full pump it deposits at least twice the amount you actually need. A half press is good enough.
If you have tried the usual suspects when it comes to ingrown hair treatments and are still having no luck, you could really do worse than to give this a go. Apply twice a day (once in the morning and before bed) for 4 or 5 days whilst not shaving, and I'm sure you will see just how effective this is.
Big thumbs up!
