This is the second gentle caress model I've had. I had the first one for a few years. I bought this one because I wanted the new design.

It removes all the hair quickly. It removes the tiniest of stubble leaving soft, smooth skin. I couldn't live without mine. I especially like the fact that you can use this one with the cord or keep it charged up and go cordless. I use to wax, and this is a lot less painful and messy. It's no problem doing underarms or bikini line. Skin stays hairless for weeks, and I am a person who has to shave every day if I use a razor. I have thick, black hair that cream hair removers do not even work on.

I've always had a problem with thick, coarse hair on my upper lip, jawline, chin, and neck. I've been going to an electrologist since high school, but she moved away several months ago and I haven't found another that I really like. I saw the Emjoy AL-10LR and decided to try it after reading the reviews and comparing it to other similar products.

I have to say it was money well spent. I can't comment on how well it works on legs, bikini area, underarms, etc. as I don't plan to use it on those areas. But for my problem areas, it works wonderfully. Of course it hurts, but not as much as most electrologists do, and it's a small price to pay for good hair removal. I've always taken ibuprofen before my appointments and took it before using the Emjoi, and the pain is quite bearable and doesn't bother me at all.

I highly recommend this product if you want to remove hair on your upper lip/chin/jaw/neck area and don't mind mind a little discomfort.

I previously had the Braun silk epil and while it worked it was painful. So much so that I gave up and went on to waxing. This proved to be a very expensive option so I've had to dial that back. Now I don't know if it helped that I got used to the waxing but this Emjoi is fantastic. Very little pain on the underarms. And even the legs where I didn't wax experienced little pain. So not only is this great that it is cordless it is less painful. All I can say is now is WOW!
