As you may have read in my other posts, I have yet again been having problems recently with some nasty in grown hairs and razor bumps. I had about 4 or 5 of them, and they were quite large and very noticeable... i.e. embarrassing.
I had previously had fairly good results from Tend Skin and PFB Vanish (although this stopped working after about a week for some reason) but they were just reducing the size of the red bumps, and not actually making them go away. I tried Tea Tree oil, which helped a bit, but really dried my skin out something chronic... I also tried making a dissolved aspirin solution, which had limited success. I was at my wits end as i'd had these bumps for weeks and weeks.
In a 'i'll try anything' moment I ordered another product, and swore to myself that if this didn't work then I would see a dermatologist. The product was Anthony Ingrown Hair Solution.
Now this was mighty expensive - 25 GPB for an average sized container. (no doubt cheaper in the states!) but I gave it a go. Unlike other treatments i'd used, it was a thin gel as opposed to a straight liquid, so you can use your hands to massage it on. It is not drying like tend skin, and doesn't sting anywhere near as much... more of a tingle.
I applied it twice a day over a period of 4 or 5 days not shaving. (my standard routine for trying to rid shaving nasties when I get them bad) The result - I cannot remember a time when my skin looked so clear. There is a TINY remain of one of the bumps, that looks like small shaving nik, but apart from that all the redness is gone, and so have the bumps. Some of them were BAD.
This isn't to say it will work this well for everyone, and it is bloody expensive, but I do believe I have truly found the product I have been looking for to help keep my skin looking at its best. 10 out of 10!
