The three bad options
Waxing is painful.
Bleaching leaves hair behind.
Tweezing takes forever.
Facial hair is not a flaw to fix — it grows on all of us, and it keeps growing. What you actually need is a way to handle it that doesn't cost you an appointment, an hour, or a flinch.

Waxing
Rip, wince, wait for the redness to go down. And you have to grow it out before you can take it off.

Bleaching
The hair is still there. You just made it blonde and hoped the light was kind.

Tweezing
One hair at a time, in bad bathroom light, for as long as your patience holds out.
Target it. Delete it.
Five minutes, start to smooth.
The dual-sided pen tip applies the cream and lifts the hair away — so you treat exactly the spot you mean to, and nothing you don't.
Patch test first
Always perform a patch test before your first use, and read all warnings and directions on the carton.
Point and apply
Twist the top open and apply generously to the area you're treating. Spread evenly with the pen tip to fully coat the hair — don't rub it into your skin. Wash hands after.
Wait 3 minutes
Leave the cream on for 3 minutes. For tougher hair you can go up to 5 minutes — but never longer than 5.
3–5 min maxWipe it away
Wipe the treated area with a damp washcloth to remove the cream and the hair together.
Rinse and go
Rinse thoroughly with water until the cream is completely gone, then pat dry. Twist the top closed to keep the applicator clean until next time.
Also suitable for use on the body, legs and arms.
Not just a hair remover
It takes the hair off.
It leaves the good stuff on.
Most hair removal is something you recover from. ctrl+hair+DEL is infused with argan oil and aloe vera, so the same five minutes that clears the hair also moisturizes and soothes.
Argan oil
Naturally moisturizes and improves skin flexibility; helps heal irritated, cracked skin.
Aloe vera
Soothes skin and helps heal; stimulates cells to rejuvenate. Rich in minerals, amino acids, vitamins and active enzymes.
Targeted pen tip
An easy, dual-sided tip for quick application and hair removal — plus an on/off twist top that keeps the applicator clean between uses.

Before you buy
Questions, answered.
Where on my body can I use it?
It's built for targeted spots on the face — upper lip, chin, along the jaw. It's also suitable for use on the body, legs and arms.
Does it hurt?
No. ctrl+hair+DEL is a cream, not a wax or a tweezer — it removes hair painlessly. Always patch test before your first use and follow the directions on pack.
How long does it take?
Leave the cream on for 3 minutes. If your hair is tougher to remove you can leave it up to 5 minutes, but do not exceed 5 minutes.
Will it dry out my skin?
The formula is infused with argan oil and aloe vera to help moisturize and soothe. Argan oil naturally moisturizes and improves skin flexibility and helps heal irritated, cracked skin; aloe soothes skin and helps it heal, and is rich in minerals, amino acids, vitamins and active enzymes.
What is it formulated without?
Parabens and phthalates. It's PETA Certified Cruelty-Free and Vegan, dermatologist tested, and made in the U.S.A.
How is the pen applicator different?
The dual-sided tip lets you apply the cream and remove the hair from one targeted spot, so application is quick and mistake proof. An on/off twist top keeps the applicator clean between uses.
Does it stop hair from growing back?
No. ctrl+hair+DEL removes hair at the skin's surface — it does not reduce or prevent future hair growth. Use it again whenever you want the spot handled.
