I had purchased a mandys facial hair remover for sensitive skin and 3mins into the application it started to burn my skin.i had done a patch prior to the app and its was fine.I washed it of and upon wiping my face it peeled of the top layer of my skin.It was painfull and burning like someone had threw acid on my face.Im now left with hidoeus scars.I called the consumer care line and spoke to Pamela who offered me other products instead of helping me with the current damage and pain.I had sent many emails and phoned many times with no response from them.I have attached my photos.

those piks belong to me. this company knows that there is something wrong with the poroduct which is why they offered me other products to compensate.I declined, but i have being work with the small claims dept here in issueing them with legal docs. Maybe they will jump now.As for my face, i now have dark patches that dnt look good at all.

ROFL... The skin on your inner front arm is the most like your facial skin, is what I meant! The company does exist, they are one of our customers! They are still on holiday! Isn't that convenient...

Stealth Pilot - The following appear on the package: Name, weight, Manufacturer name address and telephone number, customer care number, instructions, promotional info and ingredients. Disclaimers are not compulsory in SA. The patch test was done on the inner arm (which is the closest to your facial skin). I suppose I would also get pissed if everyone affiliated me with the problem in some way. My apologies!
JerseyGuy46 - Are you using this product? I sure as hell do not have herpes.Valtrex is used to treat the symptoms of herpes zoster (also known as shingles), a herpes virus infection of the skin; it is also used to treat and prevent genital herpes infections. I do not have any of the above. Just patches of skin missing!
Let me show you what I do have!

Like I said... Never assume anything! Kom laat ons nou die ding uitstruik. Jy is sekerlik 'n onopgevoede koos wat niks beter het om te doen as om homself in ander se smarte te verleker nie. Gaan kry vir jou 'n ordentlike opvoeding en miskien ook sommer 'n bietjie kompassie en dan gesels ons weer. Gaan sit op 'n wortel en roteer so bietjie. Miskien bring dit vir jou vreugde.

English Ian - It is Calamine Lotion. As I said previously... I work for a pharmaceutical company, so don't you think I would have tried this? No, I do not purchase goods online.

JDH55... 55 must be your age looking at the ### you complain about! Speed traps for truckers! Rather take them off the road. $100 in your bank account? Maybe someone paid you to shut up! A wrecked boat? Maybe you are the one who can not drive...
English Ian... Use the hair remover on your b@lls. Works like a dream on dicks like you!

English Ian - You seem to see this as a HUGE joke! Only one problem with you smart @$$ remarks... We do not celebrate haloween in South Africa. You must be a young snotkop with no wife or girlfriend, because if it was your wife or girlfriend, you would not be joking about this. I was not aware that this was a joke forum!

I agree! Can not get hold of the manufacturer. Looks like they are still on holiday. Thinking about sending the product for testing... Something is seriously wrong!

The product is manufactured in South Africa and I live in South Africa. In actual fact, I work for a pharmaceutical company, so I am not an ignorant idiot. The reason I asked if you work for the manufacturer, is due to the fact that your first comment sounds like you are defending the company and no other reason.
There is no reason for the crude language. Take a chill pill!

No, I am not allergic and yes I did the patch test. No, there is no disclaimer on the package. Do you work for Lee-Chem? Sure sounds like it...

I bought Mandy's Facial Hair remover fro sensitive skin on 31/12/2010. About 3 min into the application, my face was burning something terrible. I removed the cream with cotton wool and warm water and my skin came off as well. It was the most excrutiating pain I have felt in a long time and I now have these terrible scars on my face. You can actually see where the applicator applied the cream. I took photo's the next day as well.
