I am sure you all have seen the infomercial on tv for this product, I know I have about 50 times. Well today I am going to tell you all what I think of this product. I recently was chosen through FuelMyBlog if I would like to test any products. I selected yes, that I would. About a month later I rec'd an email that I was chosen to do a review of Smooth Away. After seeing all the commercials on tv about this product I was really excited. I was going to get to see if this "really works" without having to spend any money to find out, great right? Before I start this review I would like you all to know that this is a completely unbiased review - if I give this product a good review it is because I really liked it, not because I tried the product for free. With that said, on to the review.
My testing package came with all you see below:
The kit comes with:
The large pads are recommended that you use them for legs and arms and the small pads are to be used for your face, fingers and toes.
This product retails for $9.99 and is available at CVS, Rite Aid, Sally Beauty, Walgreens, Walmart, and other fine retailers.
My kit also came with Hair Inhibitor Moisturizer. The information I have on this product says that it contains active ingredients that are shown to reduce the amount of hair re-growth and weaken its quality. The natural active extract, Telocapil, is derived from the Myrica cerifera L. plant and know to day by its elements, Butylene Glycol, Water and Dihydromyricetin.
This product retails for $7.99 and it available at CVS, Rite Aid, Sally Beauty, Walgreens, Walmart, and other fine retailers.

I received this product about a week ago, and for the last week I have been letting my leg hair grow out. After a weeks worth of growth it was long enough to give it a go. I used this product in the living room while watching tv. I used the large paddle and the large pad. The pads come like a big sticker, you peel the backing off of the pad and stick it to the paddle. It says go in a clockwise motion and do three circles, then do three circles in a counter clockwise motion. I had to do this several times to get a clear area. Once I got the hang of it, which didn't take long, I was really swirling that that pink paddle over my leg. After about 5 minutes of this, I felt my legs and they were very smooth, however upon closer inspection I could still see some long hairs. These little "soft" hairs were still there. When using this product you really need to use both touch and sight to make sure you get all the hair, because while you legs may feel smooth you could have missed some of the hair like I did. I used the product another 3-4 minutes on that leg just to make sure I had removed all the hair. (Please note I used this product from the knee down). Next I moved on to the next leg. After using the paddle for about 2 minutes I just didn't seem to be removing the same amount of hair. I figured I had used up the first pad, so I removed it and put a fresh one on. I proceeded the same as the first leg. It says while using this product your skin will appear white or gray, that is from the exfoliating that you are doing as well as removing your hair. My legs were definitely white, lol! The last step you do is apply the hair growth inhibitor lotion.

What I liked:
- I was able to use this in the living room while watching tv, no water required.
- How easy it was to use.
- The smell of the lotion was very nice. A coconut scent, which is one of my favorite smells.
- How smooth my legs felt when I was finished.
- The price seems pretty affordable, an amount I would spend for something like this.
What I didn't like:
- The large pad lasting enough to only do one leg, from the knee down.
- My hand was a little tired by the time I was getting done with the second leg.
I would definitely use this product again, but I am not ready to throw out my razors! I think this is a good product to have along with razors. I could see using this in the summer time for a quick shave before hitting the pool, without having to jump in the shower first. I can easily say that I would recommend this product for you ladies.
Now, if anyone has tried this product I would really love to hear what you think of it.
Have you seen the commercials for this?
Do any of you all think you might try this out?
And lastly, what did you think of my product review skills? Anything I left out that you would like to know about? Please let me know gals, I look forward to reading your comments :)
