Reddit reviews PFB Vanish Razor Bump Stopper Roll On Shaving Gel - Skin Care Treatment for Ingrown Hairs and Razor Burns, 93g

1. Very sharp razor, ideally brand new. Dollar Shave Club changed my LIFE. Take it slow, and pull skin taught where you can. I always sit down in the tub to get a better angle, too. Shaving creams have never helped me (and I definitely don't want to get any in my lady bits), so no recommendations there.
   
   
2. PFB Vanish. I used to get AWFUL razor burn until I got this stuff. (Great and smooth for ~24 hours, then the itching begins. Oh god, the itching.) You have to put it on right after you shave; I've forgotten and tried to put it on the next day (when it started itching), but it was too late to really help.

Hopefully someone else can speak to laser hair removal (I'm super curious myself as I've heard a lot of mixed things) but in the meantime while you are pricing things out and the summer approaches, I have a few suggestions. I also have thick dark leg hair and am prone to bad ingrown hairs. I use a Japanese exfoliating towel with some bath gel on my legs/bikini line before I shave, shave, then exfoliate again with the towel/more bath gel. And once out of the shower, I rub this magic on the areas I'm prone to getting ingrowns. It's more or less completely eliminated my ingrown hair problem. If you haven't tried either it might be worth the $15 just to see if it'll help a bit before you can get the laser removal.

I struggled with ingrown hairs so badly until ten years ago when a friend introduced me to a product called PFB Vanish. I cannot possibly explain how well this stuff works. I had tried everything. I sound like an infomercial but seriously if anyone is struggling, please give it a try - roll on right after shaving and then once or twice a day to maintain. IT IS AMAZING.

I find a roll on thing called PFB Vanish to be absolute magic. Usually get it from Amazon here but I've found it online other places too.

Hey! It looks so much better with your update. I would suggest getting something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004SVBGW8?pc_redir=T1

It really helps preventing ingrown hairs. You can get tend skin in a royal blue bottle from Wal-Mart. I think that and the link I posted are more or less the same thing. but I hate ingrown belly hairs! So i thought I'd share.

GIRL THIS. I always got horrible ingrown hairs from shaving, and then I started using this and don't get them anymore. It's extraordinary.

It's basically just an AHA/BHA roll-on, but I would absolutely not use it on my face (it also has alcohol in it). Great for legs though!

I suffered from terrible razor burn for years. PFB Vanish is what I’ve been using for the past few years and I love it! It has alcohol as an active ingredient though so it will sting a bit until you get used to it. You can find it on Amazon:

PFB Vanish. Get it either as the shaving gel or as the post-shave roll on.

It causes the follicles to open up more so that the shaved hairs don't get caught under the skin.

I know I'm late, but I had to log-in to help you, because the other answers were not that great. I've spent a lot of years and money struggling with the same issue when I was younger until I got this product. I know it's expensive, and will sting the first few times, but it will be life changing. If you use a strait razor, trying using electric for a not so close shave in combo with the PFB. Also, before you shave again, let this heal completely first, which will allow you time for shipping the PFB and finding an electric razor.

I hope you take my advice and feel more comfortable soon!

Srs Why would it darken them?

I use it once or twice a week like I would on my face to avoid over exfoliation. When doing bikini area I don't put it anywhere near sensitive parts to avoid irritation. Yes, doing it every day would be harsh though! Many ingrown hair treatments you'd find at the store contain salicylic acid and/or glycolic acid (such as this or this). So I figured I'd just use what I already have instead of shelling out extra money for something to do the same thing a tub of Stridex can but for less.

I use [PFB vanish] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004SVBGW8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1479700974&sr=8-1&keywords=pfb+vanish&pi=SY200_QL40). It's no miracle cure, but my ingrowns are manageable if I use it and avoid shaving my thighs against the grain. Also hot water, sharp razor, etc etc.

This product has been my lifesaver. Used to get really terrible ingrown hairs and bumps on my lady bits, now not a single one. Ease into it though, it dried my skin out at first when I was using it once a day, now I use it 2-3x a week, especially after I shave.

from your description it sounds like maybe the hair pores got infected. When you shave, you are creating little tiny cuts in the skin that are open to bacteria, dirt etc. as I'm sure you may already know. ANY time you are shaving a sensitive are make sure you are using a brand new razor and shaving cream formulated for sensitive skin only! I highly highly reccomend using an antiseptic afterwards on these areas, my gynecologist suggested this to me for bkinini lines I assume it will work just as well on other sensitive areas: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004SVBGW8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I would highly suggest you see a docotr especially when there is pus involved! hope it gets better :( so sorry this happened

With this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004SVBGW8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1518539614&sr=8-3&keywords=pfb+vanish&dpPl=1&dpID=31MEsoDptKL&ref=plSrch

Only thing that's ever worked for me.

Also, important to note: NEVER put any cream or moisturizing lotion on the bikini area directly after shaving. It clogs the pores immediately and causes ingrown hairs. This took me years to learn, because I always moisturize my legs after shaving, and that's fine, so it's counterintuitive. But the bikini area is a different beast.

This is a really great product to address your issue.

And this one would be great for helping with the skin darkening from the bumps.

Depending on how your skin reacts to shaving, the technique can vary. I cannot shave at all because the irritation is unbearable. It isn't as bad if I go in the same direction as the hair, but that doesn't get as close. Some people are fine, but I end up with vast amounts of ingrown hair that takes months to recover. I found that paying an esthetician to wax it for me is much much better.

Also: PFB Vanish applied before either waxing or shaving, then used twice a day after/during regrowth really does keep the skin baby smooth.

If you are going to shave, use a new, good quality razor and keep the skin pulled tight for each pass. First few tries may cause some nicks, but with practice you'll get better. I think it's easiest to sit baddha konasana style with a mirror propped on my feet than to try it standing in the shower. Experiment a bit and you will find what works best for you. Like I said, I eventually resigned to getting waxed every month, though finding someone to wax a male wasn't the easiest at first. It seems like it's getting more common, though.

Afterglow is great. The owner is usually the waxer, and she's really efficient and friendly. Your first time is gonna be the most painful, but it gets easier the more you go.

Also, this stuff is your best friend. It'll keep you from getting ingrown hairs.
