Finishing Touch's Flawless Facial Hair Remover Actually Got Rid of My Peach Fuzz

We put Finishing Touch Flawless Facial Hair Remover to the test after receiving a complimentary sample from the brand. Keep reading for our full product review.

As someone who shaves her legs once a week and armpits every other day if I’m really on top of things, I tend to be pretty wary of hair removal devices. I’ve nicked my legs shaving more times than I can count, and I hate how dry and irritated my skin gets after I shave.

When I was given the opportunity to try the Finishing Touch Flawless Facial Hair Remover, I was wary. I remembered a disastrous moment in high school when I’d decided to shave my sideburns—and that was the last time I’d dabbled in any sort of facial hair removal, other than plucking or waxing my eyebrows. But because I have some very light peach fuzz around my ears that developed during pregnancy, I decided to give it a try. Here’s how it worked for me.

About My Facial Hair: Not very noticeable

Truth be told, I’m not a very hairy person. The most I’ve ever had to shave my legs is once a week, and while if I look very closely I can see the tiniest hint of a mustache (can’t we all?), in general the only thing that bothers me is the tiniest bit of peach fuzz around my ears. With the promise of a painless experience, I was willing to try this hair remover.

The Look: Sleek, lipstick-like

I love the look of the Finishing Touch Flawless Facial Hair Remover. It’s like a sleek, blue-ish gold oversized lipstick. I also love the fact that it comes with a light — my peach fuzz is very light and difficult to see, so the light ensures that I’m removing hair from the right spots.

The Feel: Easy to use, but stings a bit

I wouldn’t say this hair remover is entirely painless. When I used it—making sure to  insert the battery, turn it on, and then use gentle circular motions, exactly as the package instructed—I did feel a tiny bit of stinging. That being said, it got rid of my peach fuzz, so I’m mostly OK with it. 

The Results: Smooth and fuzz-free

Overall, I was happy with the results I got. It effectively got rid of my peach fuzz, and it doesn’t grow back bristly. I’m not sure I’ll use this all the time — I don’t love the fact that it stings a bit, and in general the small amount of light facial hair I have doesn’t bother me — but I can see how this would be a great tool for someone with a lot of facial hair who wants an easy, efficient, and affordable way to manage it.

My positive experience with this hair remover makes sense, because dermatologist Diane Madfes, MD, FAAD says it’s an excellent tool for removing hair. “This is a mechanical hair removal device that works  by trimming the hair. I do recommend it as this is very gentle to the skin, cutting hair at one angle, which means no ingrowns!”

Value: Affordable compared to pro treatments

At around $20, the Finishing Touch Flawless Facial Hair Remover is definitely affordable, especially when you compare it to professional treatments like waxing or laser hair removal. So if your wallet is feeling the weight of professional hair removal treatments, this is a great option.
