Chemical depilatories

Chemical depilatories come in gel, cream, lotion, and roll-on forms. They are applied over the area, left on for some minutes, and then washed away. They weaken the hair shafts by chemically dissolving the protein structure of the hair. Creams and foams containing thioglycolates are effective and safe if appropriately used. Follow directions and test on a small area first.
