Parissa Sugar Wax Kit | Microwavable organic Sugar Wax (5 fl oz)

Yes, this product actually works and works great. It only attaches to the hairs, leaving the skin, smooth and untouched. I feel lucky to have found this!!!

I struggle with hirsutism meaning really thick black bold hairs grow on both my chin and upper lip. I’ve tried many different wax strips that are water based , hard wax and more and my hair usually grows back within 2-3 days. I waxed with this about a week ago and I have very minimal hair growth, my hairs are much thinner. I put it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds and put a think layer in circular motions and used the included wax strips. Super easy to use!! I love it!

Great for easier hairs to get to, might have trouble on softer skin areas with deeper hair follicles. Overall, it's a substantial product. Worth it and easy enough to use for first timers.

I had high hopes for the Parissa Face & Body Sugar Wax, but it was a disaster. I followed the instructions carefully, but the wax was incredibly sticky and difficult to work with. At least I was able to remove it from my body, but it didn’t remove any hair at all! It was frustrating and messy, and I ended up having to use another product to actually get the job done. Definitely would not recommend this for hair removal—save your time and money!

Es una cera muy buena a comparación de otras, dura caliente más tiempo y es muy ligera 0 pegajosa!

I had a lot of trouble using this product. This was not my first wax at home, but it was the hardest to use. The strips did not stick to the wax.

Cannot remove hair

I love that this can go a long way. 20 seconds in the microwave, I am able to cut my strips to the size I need them for, rub it on my chin or lip, and rip it off. I have gone back with my tweezers to get one or two hairs, but I love it. After I use my wood stick, I run it under hot water to reuse for next time. But I love this better than buying waxing strips or going to a salon. Cheaper and quicker.

Happy to find this wax. I was looking for a cruelty free wax and am happy this is leaping bunny certified. It comes with two large wooden stick and a smaller one which I assume if for the upper lip area/small areas. First I washed my underarms with soap and dried them well. I then placed the wax container on a microwave safe plate & heated the wax as the instructions said for 20 seconds at 10 sec intervals but I found the wax was still hard. So I heated it for 20 seconds and then 30 seconds and it made the wax warm enough. I stirred it a little and let it cool for a while until it was not as liquidy and not too hot. I applied a thin layer to my underarms and quickly applied the strip. Rubbed it good for a bit. Ripped it off in the direction of the hair and it came off. Not sure it removed the hair from the roots but it took it off. I'm glad I didn't need to shave as I don't have a lot of hair anyways since I had laser before. The wax left no irritation, has no smell and the ingredient list is simple & natural. Also it comes with a good amount of strips and I cut them in half so it was easier to use. Cleanup was also very easy. The wax was easy to wash off and the wooden stick was also easy to clean off for more uses. Product is also made in Canada which is nice.

I loved this product. It’s efficient, I like the texture of the wax, it has a good price for the amount it comes with, and it’s easy to use. Whenever I want to remove my upper-lip hair quickly, I just put the wax in the microwave for 30 seconds and it’s very easy to use.

I found this ineffective for removing anything other than some "peach fuzz" on my cheeks. It didnt take anything off my upper lip or chin hairs. I go to the salon for waxing normally and this felt the same when ripping off the strips, but no hairs actually came off with the wax. I didnt try it on anything other than my face. It's going in the garbage.

I was a bit nervous to try sugar waxing at home, but this product completely won me over. The texture was perfect — not too sticky or runny — and the instructions were very clear. I was able to get a salon-quality wax right in my bathroom.

I think many of the bad reviews may be from users confusing the sugar 'wax' for traditional wax, or trying to use it the same way. I started sugaring because waxing would leave my skin red for days. With this product, the redness is gone withing an hour or two. You only need to heat the sugar up a little. For a full jar that's about 15-20 seconds in the microwave in total. Give it a stir to ensure you have no 'hot spots.' You want the product to be barely warm, and still a rather thick consistency in order to adhere properly. Be sure to use some isopropyl alcohol on the spots you want to remove hair from first. Allow the area to air dry after applying the alcohol. This will prevent a lot of the ingrown hairs and blemishes from forming in the first few days after the hair removal process, which is especially important if you are using this on your face. I find it helpful to cut the strips down to about 1.5" by 3" and work in small patches. After applying a thin layer of sugar, press the epilation strip down on the sugar, and gently but firmly rub the strip over the sugared skin to ensure the hair will adhere to the strip. Be sure to wipe the rim of the sugar container down well after use, to get rid of any stickiness and ensure the container stays easy to open. I find a jar of this stuff lasts a lot longer than the sticks and strips that come with it, so I occasionally buy the replacement Parissa non-woven cloth strips to use use up the remaining sugar wax.
