IGIA-Epil Stop Burning and Scarring ripoff, New York
I am one of the many consumers who have suffered burns and scarring as a result of the Epil Stop Spray.
I did a test patch on my leg. Left the product on for 4 minutes (the directions say 5 minutes, but not more than 8).
hen I wiped the product off, half of my skin came off with it. I now have scabs, scars, and petechiae (broken blood vessels under the skin surface). It's painful and unsightly.
At this point, my doctor does not know whether my follicles will completely heal, and whether the discoloration will permanently mark my skin.
I think perhaps class action may be in order. From what I've read, too many people have experienced pain and damage as a result of using this product according to the package directions.

I AM 45YRS. OLD. I HAVE VERY SENSITIVE SKIN, AND ALL MY LIFE I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH SHAVING. I HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS PRODUCTS, TO WHICH I HAVE HAD NEGATIVE REACTIONS TO ALL.
I HAVE AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO ALL METALS & EPIL STOP IS A LIFE SAVER FOR ME.IT FEELS GOOD TO SHAVE WITHOUT HAVING AN ALLERGIC REACTION, TURNING RAW. I LOVE EPIL STOP.
I HAVE ALSO USED THIS PRODUCT ON MY BIKINI LINE AREA. I WANTED TO TRY IT OUT BEFORE PUTTING ON A BATHING SUIT IN THE SUMMER SEASON. I CAN NOW PUT ON MY BATHING SUIT, NOT HAVING TO WAIT THREE DAYS BEFORE MY SKIN CLEARS.
