I owned a previous model of a Braun epilator and got rid of it as I remembered it to be so painful and not a pastime I thought I'd ever continue. However....I've really had it with hair removal and I've tried the lot. Tired of the mess, stress and money disappearing down the hair-removal drain, I researched into epilating once more and decided, after reading all the great reviews, to give this model a go (annoying now significantly cheaper on Amazon only days after I bought it.) At nearly £100, this was a lot of money for me but, I concluded, was about the cost of four or five waxing appointments without the hassle of waiting for the hair to grow and walking around looking like The Gruffalo.
So, is it any good and how much does it hurt? I epilated my legs first and did them dry. The smart light was very good at showing up the hairs and the epilator removed them very efficiently. I did have to go over areas a few times in different directions to ensure all hairs were caught but it says you have to do that in the instructions and considering hair grows in different directions I would say it's reasonable to have to do that. As for pain, I didn't think it hurt that much at all. It was more an uncomfortable pulling/twanging sensation than pain. My legs did come up with mild red raised spots, but this went down within a couple of hours. Hair-free legs in 15-20 minutes! Result! One thing I would say is that if you're expecting the smoothness you get with shaving you'll be disappointed. The nature of shaving means every hair is taken off at skin level so you're inevitably silky smooth (if only for a day or so.) Epilating plucks hair from the root and does miss teensy-weensy hairs that you can't necessarily see but you can feel when you run your hands up your legs.... Read more ›

This really is an excellent product, but the first time you use it be sure to allow plenty of time, and be prepared for plenty of pain!
Once you've got the initial run over and done with, repeat treatments will of course be pulling far fewer hairs, and I promise will hurt far less too.
I think with hindsight it might have been better to wax first, and then start using this epilator a few days after to catch any missed hairs and then of couse to strip the regrowth. That might have made it much easier.
I've used this in and out of water, and not really noticed much difference to be honest, but the convenience of being able to wash the unit and attachments under water is a definite plus.
If anything, I found it harder to use on wet skin in places (ie under-arms where the skin is not as tight), as it tended to snag the skin more rather than gliding. (I haven't tried using shave/shower gel with it as suggested in the manual, so maybe that would be better.) Fine on wet legs though, but no better/worse than dry to me.
The smartlight is a great addition - even in what I consider reasonably good light, it shows up hairs that I would otherwise have missed.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this, but would suggest lots of short, quick strokes for the first attempt rather than long sweeps, and start with lower legs rather than anywhere more delicate! Keep skin taut while using, move fairly slowly and take your time.
Expect redness too - especially for first use. I looked like I'd been stood knee-deep in red paint for an hour or two after! Having said that, repeat uses have hardly produced any redness at all.... Read more ›

I've been using a Braun epilator for about 12 years, so I am used to the pain. This model had a number of features which made it much much easier to use than the old model. I loved that it is rechargeable, so you can use it easily and quickly anywhere, and the epilating action seems to be more efficient than my old one. Being able to use it in water as well makes it less painful, easier and very convenient - you can quickly "touch up" an area in the shower. I also loved the light - my main problem before was getting enough natural light on my legs to see the hairs, close enough to a power supply - these problems are solved! The massaging head genuinely reduced the pain as well.
All together, a great product and well worth the money when you think about all the areas you can de-hair and what that would cost you in wax.

I read so many reviews of the silk-epil in the hope I'd get at least one person admitting they need one of these for facial hair but found none.I suffer from POS and haven't the right colouring etc.. for laser treament therefore was desperate and decided to give the silk-epil xpressive a go. Boy am I glad I did! It doesn't hurt at all on my chin and pinched a bit on my upper lip which I'm used to already and the result is simply fantastic! It works really well on short hairs, ones I didn't even know where there...it is very satisfying to hear the pluck, pluck, pluck as I ran it over my chin, lip and neck!!I used to wax...which always left behind some tough persistent hairs that I then had to tweeze. Hair removal was a time consuming, never-ending job for me but no longer! Now I'm done in a few minutes...or less the only thing I would say is be prepared to go back over area the next day etc..for the hairs that are growing at differing rates...not a criticism of the silk-epil...more of a criticism of mother nature!It's hassle free so repeating daily or so until you have it under control isn't a problem!
I feel like a new woman and get extremely emotional when talking about how this product has changed my life, I have gained so much confidence and highly recommend it for facial use.(haven't tried anywhere else yet)I hope this helps!

Didn't work for me

Fully waterproof, but not painless

Very good product
The only problem with it was the battery...you can replace it, if it stop charging...you need to buy another one. But apart from that it is so simple, and easy to use
