Contour Next Test Strips

“I have been using this since last Christmas. I have blonde hair on my face longer than peach fuzz. It comes right off.

“I have over several decades tried many, many ways to remove facial hair. This is so easy and painless to use I bought a second one as backup.”

Joseph Rayson

“This product is amazing. Who knew a small products could do such a good job. It beats the Epilady products by a long shot. The best part is no pain involved.”

-Skipene

'I purchased this for a friend and keep one for myself. It is amazing! I have a stand of hair on my chin and had to remove it constantly because it would grow back immediately. However, since using this product I literally can go a month or so without using it.'

-Sasha

'I was hesitant to get this because in the past when I have tried products similar to this, it hurt! This is painless and so easy to use! I gave the second one to a friend and she enjoys it as well. It gets those hard to get hairs, gone!'

-Mathis

'I purchased this to help plump up my face. I did not expect how much it would improve the quality of my skin. Holy Moly!!! I have lots of skincare tools and have never experienced this. My skin feels like a baby's bottom and looks like glass!!'
