oops, I just noticed that you did use the one for the face.  If you skin is that sensitive, I would be careful with the bleach!  Make sure you do the little test first, sorry, don't mean to sound like a mom!

hmmmm, I have really sensitive skin too, sometimes the Nair is irritating and sometimes not.  Did you use the one specially formulated for the face?  Hydrocortisone helps the irritation (it should only last an hour, if that), I also heard taking an antihistamine helps.

ugh, i tried the nair for face and i immediatly broke out in a chemical rash....so if you have sensitive skin like me, i would suggest not using it.I think i will look for the bleaching stuff the other poster mentioned(sorry i dont remember the name)
i have blonde hair so it's not that noticable anyways, but when i put my make~up on. i can see it.

I use Jolen bleach (sensitive skin) ---  works pretty well, have to do it every few weeks. You could also go get waxed at a salon to be rid of it altogether.

Try going to a salon and gettig a face wax. It's like $25, depending where you go... Always keep a good pair of tweezers handy too if you get those thick black hairs.

Never ever shave, though.  It will grow in coarser than ever.  If you have a little extra $, you can go to a medical professional, or sometimes even a higher-end salon, and it can be laser removed, and that is permanent.

Nair makes a product for facial hair (I like it), sally's has a wax (I have only used that on my brows, but it seems good, may try my lip), and there is also E Z bleach (used this on my stomach and it lasted a LONG time!). I swear I am not a sasquatch! ;)

I prefer tweezing due to sensitive skin but you can wax and there is even a tape and facial hair remover creams (avon I know has one).
