Let us ask you this question: have you ever truly waved your hands in the air like you just don’t care? Because if you’re asking any of us in the bh office, between wax burn, the stress of body odour, stubble rash or ingrown hairs, we find there’s actually a lot to care about. Which leads us to our next question: how do we bridge the gap between ourselves and the people who truly are throwing their hands up in the sky without any concern? The answer? A good-quality deodorant but also, a gentle, skin-smoothing underarm hair removal cream.
If it’s silky smooth and hairless armpits that you’re after, keep scrolling as we round up the most effective creams on the market. And yes, sensitive skin types, there’s even one for you.
The best underarm hair removal creams…

We say: Designed with a hairy underarm in mind, this gentle removal cream has been formulated using a unique growth inhibitor to not only remove existing hair but also reduce future growth. Working in as little as three minutes, delicate underarm skin will be left smooth, silky and nourished thanks to the additions of aloe vera and essential oils.

Nair Sensitive Hair Removal Cream Face And Body
We say: If shaving makes you breakout in a rash and waxing is a surefire way to upset and irritate your skin, then it’s time to consider Nair’s Sensitive Hair Removal Cream Face and Body. Using sweet almond oil, this formula is effective at removing hair while simultaneously moisturising and protecting easily-irritated skin.
You say: “This is also useful for underarms and any other tender areas of your body. The smell is not too bad and soon goes if you put on the bathroom fan. I like the fact it also has a moisturising sweet almond oil and has been dermatology tested.” – Shaper

Have you used a hair removal cream on your underarms? If so, which one?
I am lucky and get a very few hairs under arm but have used Veet and Nair and found both really good
I’ve never used a hair removal cream. Open to it though.
I like the hair removal creams as I seem to get less ingrown hairs that way.
Its also totally okay to forget to shave/remove hair some days. Its just hair.
I’d love to give the modern ones a go – they sound better than the older versions from yesteryear
definitely and most take only 3 minutes or so
I’ve never used hair removal creams. I’ve always been wary of them and stuck to shaving my underarms. I do see that the creams give a cleaner finish.
I haven’t used any of these creams on my underarms but I would be open to my it.
I’ve used hair removal cream before and it smelled horrible
Nair Sensitive Hair Removal Cream Face And Body has been on the market for a very long time. I like it.
Yes me too and so easy to use
I haven’t used this type of product for a long time due to the hideous smell. I might try it again.
I lazer, the best
I recently bought the Bleame crystal hair eraser and now I never need bother about creams ever again
Been so long since I’ve used hair removal creams.
The Marzena looks so nice!!! X
skip the creams and just get laser hair removal… well worth the money.
Dont like the thought of chemicals in creams or the smell. Prefer to just shave.
Nair is my go to. I even use it on my face with excellent results.
I’ve been having laser.
After years of shaving my underarms when I went through menopause it just stopped growing. Lucky me.
I had laser hair removal on my armpits years ago and on occasion I’ll find a really long rogue hair growing and wonder how long that has been there for. Ha!
I like the Veet hair removal cream but lately have not had much time so I just shave
Before getting my home IPL device, I used to epilate my pits.
I’ve used most of these and they all work well.
