Product Reviews of Braun SE3170 Silk-épil 3 SoftPerfection Epilator
Product Review: Better than Waxing any day!
Summary: 5 Stars
Disclaimer: I owned and used one of the original Epilady epilators for years. When that died, I turned to waxing. I have a pretty high pain tolerance when it comes to hair removal. If you do not have a good pain tolerance, don't read further- this review won't help you make a decision!
Pros: price, less pain than waxing, little to no redness or bumps, hair-free legs for weeks!
Cons: took a few runs to get all the hairs at first, not cord-free.
At $49.99, this beats both self-waxing and salon waxing after a couple of uses. As the price of razors continues to go up, the 3170 is a one-time investment that to me is worth the money.
For me, using this is very painless[see disclaimer above] and better yet, it does not leave behind the redness and bumps I used to experience with my old Epilady and with waxing. I did had to use it a few times at first to actually pull out the hairs when they reached the optimal length, and not just cut them off. I do wish it came in a cordless version- although the cord is pretty long.
A few tips to make the experience better: I ALWAYS exfoliate my legs and make sure they are clean before using the epilator. I stop and clean the epilator every so often to keep it running optimally. I also use Bikini Zone on my legs and bikini line after epilation to keep from getting ingrown hairs.
My sister also owns this same model and has had hers for 6 months- she says it works as good as the day she bought it- encouraging when you read about other brands that break after a few uses.
Product Review: Better than any alternative
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, granted this is the only epilator I've ever tried - I still maintain it's better than shaving, waxing or plucking. It goes incredibly FAST! The pain is not much worse than with waxing, and it really only hurts the first time. If you use this gadget whenever hairs start growing in (to maintain), the subsequent uses don't hurt at all. I didn't really notice a difference between the two attachments - one with massaging rollers and the other without.
The biggest complaint I saw when reading reviews before I bought this was ingrown hairs, but that problem is not unique to this epilator or even epilators in general. This device was fantastic at pulling hairs out by the root. I could tell when I was cleaning it out. As others have recommended, ingrown hairs can be avoided if you exfoliate and moisturize after each use.
Great product!
Product Review: Better than shaving
Summary: 4 Stars
I have fair skin and course hair so this little number makes a big different. I never have epilated before so it does hurt the first few times but after a while you get used to it. This one works really good. It does not get all the hair so you may have to re do your legs the next day. The only reason I did not give it a 5 because it does not make you feel smooth like shaving. So I wait about 3 days and use a regular razor for the little hairs it cannot get for a smooth feeling. Plus adding moisture everyday helps. (Just don't moisture on the day you epilate or the day after)
I have not used it on bikini or underarms yet.

Product Review: Braun Epilator
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very impressed with this product. My sister had an electric epilator that I tried, and it stung! The Soft Perfection has these massage rollers that seem to mask a lot of the sting when the hair is pulled out. I have noticed already that the hair isn't growing back nearly as fast as with a traditional razor, and that's a huge plus!
