Medik8 Hair Inhibit - Tested for use on all skin types

Unsightly and painful red bumps after hair removal are the scourge of men and women alike. Targeted and powerful exfoliation, using Hair Rescue, will easily and comfortably release trapped hairs that have begun to grow into the skin instead of out of the pore.

Hairs become trapped when they are removed beneath the skin-line and do not grow back straight out of the pore.

Directions

Apply directly to areas of ingrown hairs. Leave for ten minutes, then try to tease out any deep hairs with tweezers. Do not tweeze the hair out completely - use a regular removal method. Less deep hairs will pop out automatically for easy removal. Apply to areas after every shave or other hair removal method to help prevent unexfoliated skin from trapping hairs growing through.

Results and Science

Pseudofolliculitis Barbae, the medical term for ingrown hair, is caused by hair not growing correctly out of the skin pore, either being trapped on it's way out or growing back on itself and into the skin surface.

This usually occurs after shaving, when hair is cut near the surface and at an angle, the exiting hair is sharp and can bury itself quite deeply. Healthy skin reacts to the prescence of this 'foreign body' with an inflammatory response (swelling, redness and itching) which is commonly referred to as a razor bump.

Ingrow Rescue™ works in two distinct ways:

It causes the targeted skin water pressure
to increase (pushing out)

It gently removes the upper layer of skin cells,
thereby alleviating the blockage.
