Wax or depilatory cream? Which one suits you?

One goes to the root, the other loves speed. We put the two side by side; the choice is yours.

Published: 2 min read By Sesu

There are two popular roads to smooth skin: waxing and depilatory cream. Both are easy to do at home, but they work differently. Here’s a quick comparison to help you find your match.

Waxing: right from the root

Wax removes hair from the root, so smoothness usually lasts longer. Sesu First Step to Waxing Cold Wax Strips, for example, give smooth skin for up to 28 days. Sesu waxing comes in more than one form:

  • Wax strips: ready to use without heating, quick and practical.
  • Roll-on wax: the Sesu Soft Roll-on Wax Set reaches working temperature in 15 minutes and needs no spatula.
  • Bead wax: Sesu Soft Wax Beads are used without cloths and are ideal for curvy areas.

Depilatory cream: apply, wait, rinse

Depilatory creams don’t pull the hair; they dissolve it at the surface of the skin so it wipes away easily. Apply the cream, wait as long as the pack says, then remove it and rinse your skin with cold water. A favourite for anyone after a quick, practical routine.

Which one suits you?

  • Want smoothness that lasts longer? Go for wax.
  • Want something quick with no pulling? Go for depilatory cream.
  • Trying it for the first time? Start with the First Step to Waxing series.
  • Sensitive skin? Look for “Hassas Ciltler” (sensitive skin) on the pack.

Sesu note: Whichever you choose, test it on a small area first and follow the directions on the pack. Never use it on irritated or broken skin.

Maybe the answer is “both”: wax for your legs, depilatory cream for a quick touch-up. Sesu has both. Browse all products and find your favourite.

That’s it, smooth to the very end!
