[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun Silk Expert IPL hair removal is amazing! It's so easy to set up, I took it out of the box, shaved my underarms and finished the process in about 5 minutes. There was warmth with the flashes, but not painful. Using it was super easy too, just push the button and move it to the next spot. I was a little excited, so I moved and pushed the button for the next flash faster than 1 - 2 seconds, so it worried me for a second that it wasn't working, but I was a little more patient and it worked exactly as expected. If you have ever had a professional IPL treatment, it's almost exactly the same, just less painful. While using it and flashing, you do smell a slight burn, like burnt hair, but I expected it, and knew it was working from past experience with the professional treatments I had. I love it and can't wait for my next treatment!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product FREE from Braun. At first, I was skeptical. But, it is very easy to use and works well. The permanent hair remover came with a shiek Venus razor. The razor gives a super close shave that lasts for days. The Silk Expert by Braun adjusts to your skin type when you press it against your skin. The great thing about this product is it actually does permanently remove hair. The bad part is you have to go over each and every part of your legs or wherever you want permanent hair removal on your body. It does take a while to use so carve some time out of your schedule. But, it is super easy to use, just tedious. I actually did it while watching TV. Super simple! Silk Expert is my go to for hair removal now. No more expensive spa treatments for hair removal for me. It takes a few weeks of using to see the best results. Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, I got this item free from Braun in exchange for my honest opinion. Second, after almost 3 months I have noticed a slight decrease in hair on my lower legs but not enough that I could ever justify the time or the cost of this device. I love the idea of it, but it is too time consuming to be effective in my world. I will stick to shaving.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After reading other reviews about discomfort I was a little reluctant to try this. I am happy to report that it was painless. Setting the machine up was easy . I have started using it on my underarm area and so far so good. It was really comfortable to handle and the only negative was the really bright light.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't realize a product like this existed for home use. I was thrilled to be able to have salon results at home. It was very easy to use and didn't take a lot of time for me to do my legs. I have noticed the hair on my legs getting sparse as each week passes so I am thrilled!!! I am loving the fact that I can have shave free legs at home without salon prices or pain.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this free from Braun to test and give my unbiased opinion. I have been using this weekly for about 8 weeks and have to say I am impressed. It's easy to use, just slowly glide it over your body. For more difficult areas like your knees, you can use precision mode. I do notice a small feeling of heat when it pulses, and in some areas the feeling of being lightly flicked, like by a rubber band. Otherwise it doesn't really hurt and isn't very uncomfortable. It doesn't take long either! I have been using it on my legs and have noticed a dramatic decrease in hair, which is awesome! I have pale skin and dark hair which is very noticeable, even a few hours after shaving. Now I don't get that odd 5 o'clock shadow on my legs and they stay smoother much longer. My hair and skin color are pretty much the ideal combination for something like this, and I definitely recommend it to anyone whose coloring is similar!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not had a lot of change in my hair growth but that could be due to the corse hair that I have. There are requirements for this product. I think it would work well for someone that has hair that isn't corse and light skin. My hair is thinning a bit though so I will be continuing to use this product to see if I have more of a result. By the way, you do have to have a clean shave on the area BEFORE you use this product. I received this product free from Braun to use.

I used it this morning after my shower I used it on my legs and underarms and my upper lip it was so easy to use and pain free I was so excited I got to try this I tol everybody at work about it I'll let you know how it goes next week when I use it again can't wait

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product itself is very appealing very feminine looking. It is also easy for traveling. I started reading the directions and was scared as to the pain I was going to endure. The process itself for the very first time was scary just anticipating the shock! But it was harmless. I've used the product for about three weeks and have not seen a change..however I have very dark thick hair and my skin is very white.

I used this for the first time tonight after my shower. Although I read the manual, it was still hard to use. I didn't know what level the Venus Silk-expert was at (hard to tell), and didn't know what setting I was using (the broad setting or the one for small areas). I kept hitting the button hoping doe it to do its thing. I also don't like that's it has to be plugged in in order for it to work. I used on my legs, under arms and bikini area. I felt a small tiny pinch in my arm pits and bikini area. No noticeable reaction otherwise.
