    Good luck! I hope it works as my arms and legs are exactly the same, not bothered about arms but would be nice not to have to shave legs! Unfortunatley I can imagine it will work as it says the hair needs to be dark in order to absorb the light.

    I finally did my patch test last night and I did think "was that it?!" it didn't hurt at all and barely even felt warm. I did it on medium so going to use the fair setting next time. I think I am going to do it properly tonight, I know it says 48 hours but it seems fine and I just can't wait!

    not a happy bunny, went to buy it, had a read through the leaflet....cannot be used by those who have asian ancestors even if their skintone is within the colour chart
    still deciding whether to chance it, there is no one in my family who is very dark
    Yes Your Dukeiness :D

    Can't believe it . My one has started flashing ready and standby alternately which the book says faulty - :( not a happy bunny so I will phone them tomorrow and get it changed.
    Mind you I switched it off and on and it came back into life (still going to take it back though) only have it a week

    Stupid question ... can we buy an eye liner in sainsburies? Do they do them?

    I don't know if Sainsburys does them, but I bought mine in Boots (either 17 or Natural Collection, can't recall) for 1.95.

    Got it the other day. I was in town quick (I never normally go in!) And I zipped in and got one from Superdrug.

    How is everyone else getting on? Anyone notice any more difference at all?? My 2nd treatment is due on Friday for my chin and under chin area. Was very quick to do 10 min's or so.

    How are the people who started using the Smooth Skin in Feb/March getting on. Have you had good results?
