Hair removal is a personal choice, but if you're someone who chooses to be hairless — whether it's by way of shaving, waxing, lasering it off, or any other method — we know that the removal process can be daunting.
Waxing is known for being a literal pain, and in some cases, can be damaging to the skin if done incorrectly; shaving, though convenient and painless, can often result in annoying ingrown hairs and razor burns; and laser hair removal, though effective for the most part, isn't exactly accessible or cost-effective for everyone.
Still, seasonal changes wait for no one, and now that we're in the thick of the warm weather, you might be looking for some quick, easy, and relatively pain-free ways to get rid of your new growth. No matter your method of choice, we've rounded up some of the best (editor-approved) hair-removal products you'll want to use all year. Whether you're searching for the best razor for sensitive skin, the most moisturizing shaving cream, or a facial hair removal cream that won't break you out — we've got you covered. Keep scrolling to check out all of our picks.
Best Epilator For Hair Removal
Braun Epilator ($150)
The Braun Epilator allows you to seamlessly slot a long-lasting hair-removal method into your shower routine. One PS editor found that the steam from her shower softened skin enough to lessen the usual discomfort she feels while epilating certain areas of her body.
Best Razor For Sensitive Skin
Oui the People Sensitive Skin Razor ($85)
The single-blade Oui the People Sensitive Skin Razor is a tool that one of our editors describe as "nothing short of marvelous." It's gentle and reusable, meaning it's better for the environment than the $12 disposable razors you'd typically buy in bulk from the drugstore.
Editor's quote: "The blade is so gentle on the skin, I almost thought it wasn't working at first. Then, I looked down at my legs in the shower and all that hair was gone — like, not an inch of stubble in sight. Granted, getting used to the single-blade experience can take some time. You have to hold it just right to get the smoothest shave, but even still, I've never been happier to remove my body hair." Read the full review.
Best At-Home Laser Hair Removal Device
Ulike Air 3 IPL Hair Removal Device ($329)
Searching for a painless way to remove hair that's long-lasting? One editor tested the Ulike Air 3 IPL Hair Removal Device and said it did wonders for her underarm hair. It's a pricey device, but when you take into consideration the cost of in-office laser hair removal treatments, it's actually quite a bargain.
Editor's quote: "I was afraid of the pain going into using the Ulike AIR3 device, but to my surprise, it was virtually painless. All I felt were little zaps, which felt like a little tickle or tingle to my skin. The device itself is lightweight and easy to handle, and I also appreciated that the directions were super easy to follow." Read the review here.
Best Body Waxing Strips For For Hair Removal
Flamingo Pubic Hair Wax Kit ($10)
Gentle yet effective, the Flamingo Pubic Hair Wax Kit makes waxing at home about as easy as it gets. The proof? After a few glasses of wine, one of our editors somehow managed to convince her partner to help her DIY the process, and — despite having zero waxing experience and impaired hand-eye coordination — even she pulled it off with aplomb. It grips the hair nicely so you only need to yank the strip once per section.
Best Leg Mask For Hair Removal
Nair Brighten and Smooth Leg Mask ($10)
The Nair Brighten and Smooth Leg Mask isn't your typical depilatory cream. Slather it on to remove hair and moisturize skin in less than 10 minutes. The best part: it doesn't have that telltale Nair scent.
Editor's quote: "Not only did it effectively remove every stubble of leg hair, the formula was also surprisingly hydrating — I didn't even need lotion." Read our editor's full review.
Best Disposable Razor
Billie Razors ($10)
Finally, a disposable razor you can feel good about. Billie Razors not only have powerful messaging behind them, but they also boast a damn good blade that gets you the closest shave possible. Plus, they come with a shower mount so you will never have to spend time looking for your razor.
Editor's quote: "While the stainless-steel blade is sharp and accurate, it features micro-guards that protect the skin, so the act of shaving doesn't feel prickly, choppy, or dangerous. The feeling of using this tool against my skin is truly as smooth as the brand attests, and I love a product that delivers on its promise." Read our editor's review.
Best Facial Hair Removal Cream
Nair Prep and Smooth Face Hair Remover ($10)
If you're looking for a simple and easy way to remove peach fuzz from your face, look no further than the Nair Prep and Smooth Face Hair Remover. Not only is the applicator easy to use and small enough to swipe along the crevices of your face, but it's also gentle on sensitive skin.
Editor's quote: "I found the circular applicator to be a bit weird at first, but I quickly realized that it was perfect for spreading the formula onto my upper lip without having to use my fingers, making for a truly mess-free experience." Read the review here.
Best Electric Razor For Body Hair
Schick Intuition Sensitive Care Moisturizing Razor ($14)
The Schick Intuition Sensitive Care Moisturizing Razor has been a go-to for one of our editors for over a decade. Per her review, she loves that features cream surrounding the blades making the use of other lotions and creams unnecessary. It's perfect if you're looking for a product that does double duty and will get your skin feeling moisturized ASAP.
Best Reusable Weighted Razor For Hair Removal
Hanni Weighted Razor ($42)
The Hanni Weighted Razor is a safety razor that uses a single-blade, double-edged design, and it's so good that it gave one editor a super-smooth skin finish with no ingrown hairs or razor burn. This razor is expertly weighted so you don't have to apply a ton of pressure to shave, and it can also be used outside of the shower, but the biggest perk is that to replace an old blade, all you have to do is twist the bottom of the razor's shaft and toss it in the trash with minimal touching.
Best Dermaplaning Facial Razors
Sephora Collection 4 Piece Facial Razor Set ($12)
These razors in the Sephora Collection 4 Piece Facial Razor Set are just like the ones your brow stylist probably uses to remove any excess hair above the arch, and it works exactly as you think it would; it clears off all the fuzz from your cheeks, chin, and forehead, while simultaneously offering a gentle physical exfoliation to the skin.
Best Travel-Friendly Hair Removal Tool
Flawless by Finishing Touch Hair Remover ($20)
The Flawless by Finishing Touch Hair Remover uses a quick-spinning blade beneath a smooth slotted surface to remove ultrafine hair on any part of your body. Its pen-size shape makes it easy to throw in your bag and pull out whenever you need a touch-up.
Best Finish Tool For Facial Hair Removal
Tweezerman Smooth Finish Facial Hair Remover ($20)
The Tweezerman Smooth Finish Facial Hair Remover puts speedy hair removal in your hands, plucking facial hair from the root using its flexible spring. It's that simple. Our editors say it takes a little bit of time to get the hang of, but once you do it's especially great for getting fine hairs around the nose and on the face.
