The Manicare® Crystal Hair Remover is an at-home body hair-removing device. Its ergonomic design has been built using premium ultra-fine crystal technology that works to buff away dead skin as it removes hair, instantly leaving behind a soft and smooth canvas.
“It actually works,” was the feedback from the majority of Trial Team members. Why were they surprised? Well, pain-free, affordable hair removal that wouldn’t trigger ‘strawberry skin’ and would last more than two days sounded too good to be true.
As for the physical design, members appreciated the ergonomic shape as – “unlike some razors” – it was comfortable to grip onto and was easy to manoeuvre around typically awkward spots like the kneecaps and underarms.
The device (which comes recommended as the final part of a 3-step routine) can be used alone or alongside Manicare’s Exfoliating Body Sponge and Eco Exfoliating Gloves. Members were particularly impressed with results when the Crystal Hair Remover was applied following a deep exfoliation using the Eco Exfoliating Gloves. However the hair remover itself also offers dead skin removal, so a light exfoliation comes as a bonus when removing hair.
To harness the best results, members of the Trial Team used the tool as a maintenance strategy between laser hair removal or waxing appointments when hair was at a more manageable length (resembling stubble). Alongside reducing the appearance of body hair regrowth, Trial Team members were pleased to report the reduction of clogged hair follicles and in turn, ingrown hairs.
As a result of the ease of use, pain-free application and of course, visible benefits in the smoothness and glow of their skin, members of the Trial Team were very vocal in their eagerness to continue using Manicare’s product at the conclusion of the trial.

“I have never tried anything like this so I was a little excited and nervous to try the Manicare Crystal Hair Remover! Before using I followed the 3 step routine: Cleanse, Exfoliate and then of course the hair removal. It works to buff away the hair and I was quite surprised at how well it worked. I found that it was very comfortable and easy to hold which made the application a smooth process. I have notices a slight reduction in the regrowth of my hair which is definitely a bonus!” – Jessica Mitchell, read more reviews here…
“It works best on dry skin, you can even use it while sitting out in your garden enjoying the end of a long day! Use small circular movements and work in small areas at a time. It doesn’t take long to finish two legs and less time for regular maintenance. I definitely recommend this product.” – Angel1, read more reviews here…
“Very different to how i expected it to work easy to use, good instructions, easy to follow, made skin feel great love the brand happy to continue to recommend and buy for my step daughter very impressed at how it worked i was skeptical to start but impressed. used in front of the television. packed up nicely very good results and comfortable in doing this multiple times packing was great brand is great easy to access too lots nicer than waxing.” – Raychellouise, read more reviews here…
“This product was a complete surprise to me. I’ve seen it on TikTok and just thought it was a scam, until I tried it. I thought it would either be painful or not work at all. I was wrong! It’s so easy to use, I sat on the toilet lid in my bathroom and followed the instructions, it took me about 5 minutes to complete both full legs. I was shocked at how fast and pain-free it was! My legs were so smooth. It leaves kind of a light dust over your leg at the end which I wiped off with a damp towel. This is a great alternative if you don’t have time to shower and shave your legs. Or if you don’t have much success with waxing, like me, my leg hairs are so fair they often don’t come out with wax.” – Tarynsikka, read more reviews here…
Does this sound like a product you’d like to try?
Interesting product. I have seen something similar by another brand but reviews are mixed.
Thank you for your reviews trial team. I’d be interested in trying this.
Yes I will be looking for this too
I’m interested.
I’ve used something similar and while it worked well I also had a mild reaction with stinging on my very sensitive skin.
Ouch -you would need to be very careful not to rub too hard
Not sure I would use this to the full??
Wow, that looks interesting.
This looks like it works like the old Silky Mitts – which I think are made of fine-grade sandpaper. Does this need refills periodically?
Good Question !!
From what I googled lasts about 2yrs of regular use . I had forgotten about Silky Mitts
Thanks, JuJu – I did a quick search & couldn’t find the answer. 2 years is pretty good!
Yes I would be happy with 2yrs for the cost
I would so love to try this -The reviews look great
It looks really interesting, I’d give it a go.
woooooow, i am getting this!
I bought another brand and was amazed how well it works. The hair is growing back finer on my legs as well, and no more ingrown hairs!
Is it quick and easy to use or do you have to go over the same spot twice or more?
Looks like very easy to use Normap
You do have to go over the spot a few times before the hair works off. Probably takes 15-20 minutes to get both legs hair free. But not a single ingrown hair since, as it exfoliates at the same time, so well worth it.
That sounds really worth it-On my list now.
Oh wow. I need one!
I wish I was on this trial.
Yes it would have been an interesting one
Good reviews and I would love to try these
I must buy one of these.
Less clogging sounds good
OMG! I have been looking for a product like this for ages! A long time ago I bought a hair remover pad and I still have it (since it come with replacement stickers) and it removes my hair so well (use it for upper lip). Last year I bought what I thought was a similar one off amazon since the one I have doesn’t exist anymore. However the amazon one was way too abrasive for my skin and was closer to actual sandpaper. This one looks smooth like the good one I have, so would LOVE to try this.
This sounds great for facial hair.
That’s so interesting
This sounds really interesting. Less wastage and chemicals
Yep, gotta love more sustainable hair removal products
I would love to try this.
A very interesting read for me
Yeah, I want to try it out for myself now
Sounds great. I think I’ll try it out!
This looks interesting! Im keen to try it after reading the reviews.
This looks like the modern version of the Silky Mitt that was around in the 1980s.
Yes it reminds me of that too
congrats to the triallers!
I tried mitts years ago, don’t remember the brand. I prefer epilation
Well, this certainly sounds worth trying! Thank you.
It looks interesting but it’s not something I would use.
This would have been such a great trial to be on. I’m so intrigued by it!
Great that the product was well received in the Trials wouldn’t mind trying this myself.
Reminds me of Silky Mitts.
Sounds too good, would love to try it out.
Great to read the reviews
I tried this method ages ago; my skin didn’t like it. I use an epilator now
Hmm.. i’ve tried the same product but different brand and didn’t work for me, so i’d love to give this brand a try
On my wish list to try
I am not supposed to use razors on my skin in case I cut the skin and bleed so interested to know about this one. I also like quick and easy when it comes to shaving. So wish I had been on the trial. I use something else at the moment so that will have to suffice for the time being.
That’s different. Not for me though
Is this similar to those old sandpaper mitts from the 90s?
It looks like them but in an easier to use/hold and more durable format. They used to work for me and the worst thing was the smell.
I need to try one! I’ve been bombarded with ads for these online and I had my doubts that it was as simple and effective as promised, but it sounds like the reviewers found it to be a great product as long as you keep on top of maintenance. I’m all for giving up on my epilator and razors if the crystal hair remover does the same thing.
I purchased this based on the positive reviews. It is fabulous at exfoliating and works well, it does take longer than shaving however it is quicker than using an epilator
Some really good reviews on this Manicare Crystal Hair Remover.
