According to hundreds of reviews available on the Internet regarding Tend Skin Razor Burn and Ingrown Hair Kit, it seems that it has helped lots of people. Most of the customers claim that these products have helped them a lot and there’s a dramatic reduction of the number of their ingrown hairs, some of them inform that after a couple of weeks the problem completely disappeared. Here’s a citation about the negative sides of this anti-ingrown hair fix:
“So, while yes, it does smell like rubbing alcohol, and it can burn a bit after a fresh shave–oh, and let’s not forget about the barely-movable roller ball–I can safely say that I’ll be buying this stuff from here on out. It’s a little on the pricey side, but thinking back to all the hundreds of dollars I’ve spent on various other products and razors and whatnot, the cost of the solution isn’t overly excessive.
Buy it, use it, stick with it, and finally, acknowledge Tend Skin for a job well done!!!”
