Excellent product... if you give it a chance to workNovember 25, 2008 When I first purchased this product I wasn't all that impressed with it. After using it the first couple of times it didn't seem to work any better than the razor bump products found at Wal-Mart for a fraction of the cost. My problem being ingrown hairs and not really razor burn, I'd shave and twease at night, put this stuff on before bed, and would wake up with significantly less swelling and redness... but the other products I've tried did exactly the same (Burt's Bees, Bump Patrol, Bump Fighter, etc).
After a couple of weeks though I did notice a significant improvement over what I had seen with all the other products. My cheeks have completely cleared up and my neckline has had at least a 50% reduction in the amount of ingrowns. I still get them, but it's no where near as bad. I've also been able to extend the amount of days I can go without shaving. Previously, I couldn't go more than two days without wanting to rip my face off due to the pain of my beard growing in. Now it seems I can go three and four days before that starts to happen.
I know some people complain about the burn but, honestly, I barely feel it. Maybe my face is accustomed to these types of products since I've just about used them all, but I find this stuff to be pretty mild compared to some of the other popular brands.
In the end I am really happy that I stuck with this product. It took a couple of weeks to really start working but now people say they can't even tell that I struggle with ingrown hairs on my face. It used to be pretty obvious before. I can't recommend this stuff enough. The only reason I give it four stars, and not five, is because they promise to cure you of ingrown hairs and such. Although it's made a huge improvement, I'm certianly not "cured".
Don't be put off by the fact that it takes a few weeks to completely work. An 8 oz. bottle took me three months to finish. You'll get results within your first purchase, just not within your first use.
Only Product That WorksNovember 9, 2008 I have curly hair (curly-haired people are more prone to ingrown hairs since the hair grows in at an angle) and used to have horrible, painful red bumps in my armpits, on my legs, and bikini line. I tried exfoliating scrubs (only worked for the day you used it) and using a brand new razor blade daily (didn't change anything). Then my hair stylist recommended Tend Skin a year ago and it DID work. My armpits cleared up within days and my bikini line and legs cleared up in weeks.
As Katie has mentioned, it does have a scent to it; I think it smells like strong rubbing alcohol. But the scent goes away once it dries on your skin, so no other person will smell it.
It does sting a tiny bit, but the sting goes away quickly. The sting is no different than if you've ever used alcohol-based after shave on razor burn. If it really stings, you're probably using too much Tend Skin. My guess is some of you are bathing in this stuff instead of using a small amount.
With any medication or personal beauty/hygiene product, there's a chance you may be allergic to it or it may cause side effects (rashes, reddened skin, etc.). Just because two people on Amazon say they developed a rash, does not mean you will have any issues with Tend Skin. As always, do a spot test (like the label instructions say) before using this all over your face (or body).
TEND SKINNovember 1, 2008 I'VE GOT TO LET ANYONE WHO'S SUFFERING FROM RAZOR BUMPS , THAT THE TEND SKIN SOLUTION REALLY WORKS . I'VE TRIED OTHER SKIN PRODUCTS FOR RAZOR BUMPS BUT THE TEND SKIN SOLUTION WAS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED FOR ME. I GAVE IT A TRY AND TO MY AMAZEMENT IT WORKED. IT DRIED UP THE RAZOR BUMPS WITHIN A FEW DAYS -IN MY CASE. I'M GLAD I TRIED THIS PRODUCT AND I WILL CONTINUE TO BUY IT SINCE IT WORKED .

A big differenceSeptember 23, 2008 Since i started using this product, I've been approached by no less than five women asking me what I use to keep my skin clear. Before, i would avoid shaving because of unsightly razor bumps, ingrown hairs and other annoying problems. Within less than an hour of using this the first time, i achieved noticeable results. My skin was soft to the touch, skin tone started to even out and no more razor bumps.
I had to travel on business for a two week period and had my original 12oz bottle confiscated by the TSA and within less than a week, the razor bumps returned. I'll never shave again without having a supply of Tend Skin close by.
