30 Day Smooth Skin Money Back Guarantee

30 Day Smooth Skin Money Back Guarantee

Use the full tube. If your skin isn't smoother and calmer than it is after shaving, tell us and we'll refund you. Keep the tube, nothing to post back.

Will this work on coarse or dark hair?

Yes. Root-Dissolve Complex(TM) works on the keratin bond, not the colour or thickness of the strand. Coarse hair simply needs the full 5 minutes rather than 3.

How long before the hair comes back?

Most people stay smooth 10 to 14 days, against one or two from a razor. Because the strand releases below the surface rather than being cut at it, regrowth comes back finer and blunt-free instead of as stubble.

How do I use it, and is it safe for sensitive skin?

Spread on dry skin, wait 5 minutes, wipe away. Never leave it on past 10. Dermatologist tested and formulated for sensitive skin, with aloe and bisabolol to calm the area afterward. Patch test 24 hours before your first use.

Where do you ship, and what if it doesn't work for me?

We ship worldwide from our own US warehouse through a dedicated logistics network, so your order lands wherever you are. Free shipping on US orders over $50 and international orders over $70. And you're covered by the 30 Day Smooth Skin Money Back Guarantee - if your skin isn't smoother, tell us and we'll refund you. Keep the tube, nothing to post back.

THE PROBLEM

You're not bad at shaving. Shaving is bad at this.

Every method you've tried removes hair at the surface — or rips it out. Your skin pays for both.

01

Razors cut hair flat at the surface, so stubble is back by evening - and the blade takes a layer of skin with it.

02

Waxing works, then costs you an afternoon, $60 a visit, and days of red bumps.

03

Old-school creams smell like a chemistry lab and leave sensitive skin stinging.

person mid-routine, the alternatives they've tried visible in frame

how it works

Dissolve the hair. Feed the skin. Five minutes.

The only method here that removes hair below the surface without a blade, heat or pulling.

Calcium thioglycolate softens the keratin bonds that hold hair together, so the strand releases below the surface rather than being cut at it. That is why stubble doesn't return by evening the way it does after a razor, why there is nothing to rip the way wax does, and why it doesn't sting the way old-school creams do.

Calcium Thioglycolate

Calcium Thioglycolate - the dissolver. Breaks hair's protein structure gently, at the root.

Vitamin E & Aloe

Vitamin E & Aloe - the buffer. Moisturise and soothe while the formula works.

Bisabolol & Allantoin

Bisabolol & Allantoin - the finish. Soften skin and support repair, so there's no sting afterward.

RESULTS TIMELINE

Five minutes today. Two weeks before you think about it again.

One tube, one routine — here's the arc from first use to two weeks later.

MINUTE 5

MINUTE 5

Bare on the first try

Wipe away and the hair leaves with the cream. Nothing to pull, nothing to nick, nothing to wait out.

DAY 2

DAY 2

Still smooth, still calm

The morning a razor would have you starting over, there is nothing to re-do. Skin is smooth to the touch and settled, with none of the bumps that rise where a blade used to catch.

WEEK 2

WEEK 2

Softer, finer, and further apart

Because the strand released below the surface, what comes back is fine and blunt-free rather than sharp. Re-apply, and the smooth stretch gets longer each time.

BEFORE & AFTER

Best Hair Removal Solution

I absolutely love this brand. I’ve tried many different forms of hair removal, waxing, shaving, laser, other creams and none of them have worked just as well as this one. There is no irritation, no itching, no bumps, no reaction, no smell. It keeps my skin hydrated and it’s easy to use. To my Afro girlies - it will work on your hair type! I was skeptical at first but I’m on my fourth go and every time the hair comes off with one glide. I love it sooo much.

Gentle yet effective

As someone with extremely sensitive skin, I was hesitant to try another hair removal cream. But this one is different - no irritation whatsoever and removes hair completely. The aloe vera really makes a difference.

FAQ

Questions before you buy

Does it work on coarse or dark hair?

Yes. Root-Dissolve Complex(TM) works on the keratin bond, not the colour or thickness of the strand. Coarse or dark hair needs the full five minutes rather than three. Very coarse hair may need a second application after 48 hours, which is normal and won't irritate the skin.

Will it irritate sensitive skin, and do I need to patch test?

It is dermatologist tested and formulated for sensitive skin, with aloe and bisabolol to calm the area as it works. Here is the full list: Aqua, Petrolatum, Calcium Thioglycolate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, PEG-100 Stearate, Sodium Hydroxide, Chrysanthellum Indicum Flower Water, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Flower Water, Phenoxyethanol, Menthol, Fragrance, Allantoin, Bisabolol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate. Patch test a small area 24 hours before your first full use. Do not apply to broken, sunburned or freshly waxed skin, or within 72 hours of another hair removal method.

Where on my body can I use it?

Legs, underarms, arms, chest, back and the bikini line. Do not use on the face, inside the ears or nose, or on genitals. On the bikini line, apply to the outer area only and keep strictly to five minutes. Rinse thoroughly and skip perfumed products for 24 hours afterward.

How long before the hair grows back?

Most people stay smooth for 10 to 14 days, against one or two days from a razor. Because the strand releases below the surface rather than being cut at it, what returns is finer and blunt-free instead of stubble. The smooth stretch tends to lengthen with repeat use.

How is this different from waxing or laser?

Waxing pulls hair out from the root. It works, but it hurts and usually means a salon visit. Laser lasts longer than either but costs far more and needs multiple sessions. Bare Basics dissolves hair below the surface at home in five minutes, painlessly, for a fraction of both. Laser is the more permanent option; this is the cheaper and gentler one.

How many uses do I get from one tube?

One tube covers roughly six full-leg applications, or 12 to 15 underarm or bikini line applications. At the usual 10 to 14 day interval that works out to about two to three months for underarms, or around six weeks if you are doing full legs each time.

Where do you ship, and how long does delivery take?

We ship worldwide from our own US warehouse through a dedicated logistics network. US orders arrive in 3 to 5 business days and most international orders in 5 to 10. Shipping is free on US orders over $50 and international orders over $70. Tracking is emailed to you as soon as the order leaves the warehouse.

What if it doesn't work for me?

You are covered by the 30 Day Smooth Skin Money Back Guarantee. Use the full tube, and if your skin is not smoother and calmer than it is after shaving, tell us and we will refund you. Keep the tube. There is nothing to post back and no questions asked.
