10 Editor-Tested At-Home Wax Kits That Actually Work — Starting at $4

Completely Bare Ready Set Wax for Face, Bikini & Body ($21)

First, the good news: this wax kit does a damn good job of removing every last hair without hurting (for the most part). The bad news is that the lingering wax remnants will stay on your skin forever — or until you massage them off with an oil. Still, for anyone sensitive to many waxes and heat, this is a great place to start.

• Pros: Affordable, low-pain, works on fine and short hairs, great for heat-sensitive skin
• Cons: Residue sticks to skin and requires oil to remove completely
• Material: Hypoallergenic wax strips with calming botanical ingredients
• Sizes: Includes 42 strips in small, medium, and large sizes
• Who it's best for: People with sensitive skin or those new to waxing
• Extras: Includes finishing wipes to help remove leftover wax

What Reviewers Say: "I like these strips because they do not require heat and they work really well."
