Some reviewers are saying that this new formula isn't as good as the other formula, but honestly I don't see a difference. It still rips the hair out; painful, but smooth. With the old formula, it came with this oil pain relief, but not with this one. I am actually glad it doesn't come with it because I would be tempted to use it to relieve the pain, but then bumps would form the next day. I didn't use any sort of powder and it worked fine. Although, to ease the pain a bit, trim the hair to 1/4" or w/e the recommended length is. Mine was longer than that, and I don't recall it being that painful...

Also, it helps if you have someone, who you share everything with (probably your significant other), to pull it for you. It's way easier, they can see where to apply and rip it really fast. I'm too afraid to pull...

Some bits do stick, like the size of dots. But can easily be removed by pulling it or washing it with soap and water. But, what wax doesn't stick at all to your skin? It's WAX. Oh and I never left the wax on for more than 1 minute. Usually when I do leave it on for a long time, back when I used to do it by myself, it would turn into Laffy Taffy consistency- stick all over your skin and hairs - painful to pull out.

Only thing I found weird about the new formula is, that it doesn't melt in 30 seconds, but rather 2 minutes. Maybe it's my new microwave?

Comments about SurgiCare Wax Hair Remover, For Bikini, Body & Legs, 4 oz:

Heating took longer than expected to get the 'honey' like consistency, but went on easily. Cooled quickly to allow for quick hair removal.

* Apply thick so it wont break when pulled off.

**Difficult in some areas(full brazilian) for me to pull quickly enough so that is didn't hurt, but it got ALL the hair!

I usually get this done by a salon, but I'm deployed and needed to maintain...best clean/thourough option out there when there are no salons.

Comments about SurgiCare Wax Hair Remover, For Bikini, Body & Legs, 4 oz:

Make sure you use a little oil so the wax doesn't stick to your skin. (even if it doesn't come in the box... then use olive oil)
Works better then anything else I've ever tried but don't spill it, very hard to try and clean up.

Comments about SurgiCare Wax Hair Remover, For Bikini, Body & Legs, 4 oz:

Love, love this wax. I've used it for years. Noticed the formula change, and at first didn't like it, but I've adjusted. No way would I go to a salon to wax regularly, so I'm thrilled to be able to use this product from home. It can be a little tricky / messy, but as with most products, practice makes perfect.

Tip: I heat it until its runny and pretty hot, then let it cool and set into a thicker consistency that is easier to work with.

    Comments about SurgiCare Wax Hair Remover, For Bikini, Body & Legs, 4 oz:

    I haven't been able to find this one in drug stores anymore and I tried all kinds of other brands, but this is the best one out there. I've been using it for years. I use it mainly for bikini waxing. It does a better job than going to the salon. No bruising and gets all the hair out. If you use the oil that comes with the product before you put the wax on, then the wax residue comes of easily, otherwise you have to use oil to scrape it off. Love this product.

      Comments about SurgiCare Wax Hair Remover, For Bikini, Body & Legs, 4 oz:

      I can get this product locally but no where can I find the original tan colored wax. This is a thicker green color which does not heat as well in the microwave and does not have the pliability as the original formula - it can break off if you leave it too long before removal. I have been waxing myself for 40 years; clean up of any wax requires oil. I have never used oil before waxing as one reviewer mentioned, but clean and dry thoroughly so hair stands away from skin - a light dusting of powder can help if you are having trouble getting all hairs - use tweezers for the stubborn ones. For the money, this is easy and cheap. My sister uses Zip brand wax, heated in a small slow cooker; might try that next.

          Comments about SurgiCare Wax Hair Remover, For Bikini, Body & Legs, 4 oz:

          I thought, based on the reviews, this would be like what they use in my salon. It was awful. It wasn't pliable or easy to spread on or get off. I don't think any hair was removed when I tried a small patch on my lower leg. I had a horrible mess and I think it would take an entire day to try to use it on even one leg. I regret buying this item.
