I found an actual solution for ingrown hairs
("It works! It works!" I shrieked).
Hi Geezers!
Every time a brand launches some sort of ingrown hair treatment I reach out to try and I’ve yet to write about any of them.
The streak ends today.
Product: EADEM Smooth Slate Ingrown Relief Serum, a solid stick that applies easily to your face and body, ensuring a clean and straightforward experience. It quickly soothes razor burn and bumps, often providing relief overnight. With regular use, it can noticeably reduce ingrown hairs in three days, diminish dark spots, and slow hair regrowth.
Why we love it:
Hydrating Formula: The product aims to provide deep moisture, helping to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Gentle Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells and reveal a smoother complexion.
Suitable for Diverse Skin Types: EADEM is a BIPOC owned business and their products are developed with melanin in mind. This product goes on clear (no white cast), and is gentle on sensitive skin.
Ah, the dreaded ingrown hair—one of life’s most pesky little annoyances. They can pop up after shaving, waxing, or even just from tight clothing, leaving us with bumps that can be both painful and frustrating. The worst part? Finding a product that actually soothes them feels like searching for a needle in a haystack.
I would know; I’ve been searching for the needle for awhile. Many products promise relief, but often fall short, either leaving me feeling greasy or worse, doing absolutely nothing at all. Some solutions are overly harsh, causing redness and irritation instead of the calm relief I’m after.
I reached out to cruelty-free beauty brand, EADEM to try their new product, Smooth Slate, which is a serum stick EADEM says was developed to understand the struggle of battling ingrown hairs and offers real comfort, made with soothing ingredients that hydrate and calm the skin without clogging pores or causing further irritation.
I’ve been using Smooth Slate for a few weeks now and my bikini line looks SO good.
This multifunctional gem is packed with hydrating heroes like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, ensuring your skin stays as plump and dewy as a freshly picked peach. And if you’ve been feeling like your skin could use a little pep in its step, gentle exfoliants such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and fruity enzymes, help banish dead skin cells and revealing a fresh, smooth canvas beneath. Brightening agents like vitamin C and licorice root are there to add that radiant glow, evening out your skin tone and tackling those pesky dark spots.
Regular use of the Smooth Slate can lead to noticeably smoother skin, reducing the appearance of rough patches and promoting a youthful glow. Its versatile formulation makes it suitable for a variety of skin types, including sensitive skin.
Typically applied after cleansing and before moisturizing, Smooth Slate can be used daily or a few times a week, depending on individual skin needs. It can be used on your bikini line, legs, underarms, and even your face.
At $36, the price is steeper than most, but over the last few years I have definitely collectively spent more than that on products I end up tossing because they’re ineffective.
