Does the Bleame hair eraser work? My HONEST review
Вставка

- If you've seen Instagram ads and viral TikTok posts recently about crystal hair removers, you're probably wondering if these crystal hair erasers actually work. Here is my HONEST review of the Bleame hair remover product and a look at the rash/burn I got from it.

I normally don't do reviews on beauty products, but I feel pretty strongly about this one so I'm doing a thorough review of the Bleame "crystal" hair eraser (which is actually etched glass and not crystal). We're including info on how the product worked on my skin (mainly my arms) and some criticisms of the Bleame business with some not-so-great things I found out about the Bleame company after I bought their product for myself and my daughter.
I also tried this on dry skin on my lower legs and it did ok, I didn't seem to have irritation on my lower legs, but I tried this on my upper leg/thigh area on dry skin and had redness the next day, which turned into very rough skin the following 2 days.
My biggest beef with the Bleame company isn't necessarily the inconsistent performance of the product, it's that they actively block negative reviews on their website, hiding negative comments on their Instagram and Facebook accounts so consumers can't see feedback from people who have used it with poor results or who have had bad experiences with their customer service.

I can confirm ! I never see my negative reviews on any of their posts, even website ! That’s super dangerous and very sore loser on them. People need to be warned. I’m even doubting the positive comments at this point 🤣 I tested that product with every thing I could think of : dry, wet, cream, soap, mousse. I don’t have particularly sensitive skin and I was gentle. Same result everytime. It take a whole week to heal properly.
Great idea trying it all kinds of ways! I tried mine wet, dry, and shaving cream and it all caused problems.
Exactly the kind of review I was looking for, thank you. I saw some hints of what was going on in their IG comments but wasn’t sure. Definitely won’t be buying from a brand that’s shady like that
It definitely makes me wonder how many people have been blocked or restricted on their social accounts, and how many people have been injured from this. I bet there’s a lot!
Thank you for this post! The control on social media alone makes me not want to support this brand. I was skeptical seeing 100% positive comments as well, appreciate the full honest review and feedback!
You're welcome Lauren!
Got mine yesterday and tried it on my legs. As I’m typing this, my legs are burning. Put lotion on to help and they stung pretty intensely. All of this with using it gently, as instructed. I’m so disappointed and I feel like I’ve been fooled. Wish I looked further into it before purchasing. Lesson learned. I should have known it was too good to be true. THANK YOU for posting this review, by the way! I hope more people see it before purchasing, especially with how misleading and dishonest the company is.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with that, the pain is pretty intense the first day! A numbing burn cream might help take some of the edge off the pain, I didn't have any of that when my arms got a rash from the Bleame but I think it might have helped.
Thank you for the review. I hope everyone's skin heals ok.
This Bleame “hair remover” has been popping up on my Pinterest feed lately. I hate shaving my legs and really wanted an alternative. I’m so glad that I saw this before of buying this “hair eraser”! As the saying always goes: if it’s too good to be true, it probably is.
Very grateful for your review because I almost just bought the 2-pack. I'm so glad I searched for honest reviews first. Thank you and I'm sorry this happened to you.
Thank you Sara!
I definitely got the sense from other reviews that they were fake or paid for. Thanks for providing an honest review!
I've struggled with shaving since I was a teenager, especially my thighs. When I saw this product and all the positive reviews, I got hopeful that I might have finally found my affordable miracle solution. But when I couldn't find any bad reviews - or even any with fewer than 5 stars - on their website, I thought it was really suspicious. I live by the axiom "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." Since my skin tends to be sensitive, I have no doubt that I'd get a rash or worse with this product. Also I just don't want to support shady business practices. Thanks so much for enduring those rashes to get us this video!
You're welcome! Glad to be of help :)
Thank you for posting this! I've been looking for a decent shaving alternative for a while and I was truly tempted by all the glowing reviews on Instagram, but also became skeptical when I didn't find any lukewarm or negative ones. If they were really so confident in their product they wouldn't feel the need to hide any and could let the good drown out the bad. A shame about the sketchy return policy too.
Also my skin is pretty sensitive in general so thanks for saving me from any extra rashes and wasted money!
Thank you, I was interested in this product but I felt it was too good to be true.
Thank you for reviewing this bc they advertise it on fb and they delete any and all negative reviews.
Ahh thanks for this review, I was looking for honest reviews on this because all I saw were positive comments. This confirmed that it seemed too good to be true.
You’re welcome Debi!
Be careful.
Instagram has a lot of fake accounts and bots that mimic human behavior. It’s real bad.
All I've seen on Instagram are raving positive reviews. I seriously considered buying it. So glad I found your thorough and honest review. I'll stay far away from them. Thanks again!
You’re welcome Melinda!
It's amazing how there are so many products that are essentially scams and the lengths these people go to sell them. With all that time and effort, they could sell something that is actually useful. Thank you for the review. I always check for reviews from other sources before buying anything advertised on social media.
I agree! They could use their effort to do some good things in the world instead of just money-grabbing and hurting people in the process.
Thank you for your honest review along with actual live usage of the product.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for making this! I wish I had done my research before burning the s*** out of my skin today 😭 I definitely feel stupid for not taking time to read other reviews. This is waaay more irritating than a wax. It's really abrasive and you truly have to destroy your skin (sometimes to the point of bleeding) in order to actually get hair removed.
Don’t feel bad! I didn’t look this up beyond their website and Instagram either when I purchased it. I think it’s natural to expect these companies to be honest with consumers. It’s been over a week and some of the places on my skin where I used the Bleame and didn’t get severe irritation still feels like sandpaper. So even mild irritation can leave skin feeling like sandpaper for a while. It’s crazy 😭
Thanks for this! I was considering buying one as a gift, but as expected, their ads are too good to be true. I appreciate your review.
Thank you for your honest review! You just saved me $40 and a rash 😂
I'm so glad this was the first video that popped up when I searched for reviews! It didn't make sense that a rock or crystal or mineral would remove body hair so I was a little sus but thanks for confirming what I was thinking. Nothing with that kind of texture should be rubbed on the skin like that! Crazy! But a solid review
Thank you Nia!
I came over here from the article - thank you so much for this!
You're welcome! Really glad this is helping people.
Wish I watched this before I used it! Lol it did work for me in the sense that it did remove my hair and make my legs feel dolphin smooth. However, it was more of a hassle than shaving and the worst part is that I now have a bad rash and multiple bloody spots on my leg 🙃 definitely use extreme caution!
So frustrating, sorry that happened to you!
Hello, I have such a device, I bought it from Lidl in Romania, but it says it is for exfoliating your heels!! Same shape, same "crystal" appearance (i think it's just glass). Anywhozzle, It is so coarse I would never try it on my legs/arms, let alone bikini area. I think they (Bleame) rebranded it and try to sell it as "hair eraser" but basically it is a heel exfoliating file (and a good one)! If you bought it and cannot return it, just use it for that, works wonders!
I have heard some people say to reuse it on their heel calluses, I still have mine sitting in a drawer I should try it for that!
I'm so grateful for your honest review. I saw an ad for it on facebook and was thinking of getting it (no harm in trying if i can get a refund right?). The thing is the angry reaction was the second most used on the post which i thought was weird considering there were no negative comments anywhere on their ads or website. Thank god I looked further, my skin gets rashes easily and I'm sure this product would not be right for me. Then again, I dont know if this company is right for anyone the shady way they're running things.
I’ve noticed that people are able to still do angry reactions on Facebook even if our comments are getting hidden and deleted, I’m glad it’s giving people a red flag on their Facebook page! I left a couple comments on their Facebook page and they’ve been removed or hidden, but at least people can still see our post reactions.
SO glad I watched this before adding this to my birthday wishlist. I've been looking at it for few weeks, not really seeing any complaints yet I didn't understand how the product was working. The crystal part made me think of glass nail files too
It’s so frustrating they hide comments and reviews, really sneaky. On my left arm where I only got mild irritation, I still have spots that feel like sandpaper, it’s been almost 2 weeks since I used it 😬
@@thefitcookie i'm so sorry! I commented asking if it was safe for those with sensitive skin and they said yes even though I had seen a few contradicting responses. I think I would be in the same boat as you or worse trying to use this thing!
Instagram has a lot of fake accounts and bots that mimic human behavior. Be careful.
Thank you! I was about to buy this, but was definitely skeptical about not seeing any negative reviews at all.
Also, rubbing glass on your skin doesnt seem "painless" to me 😅
Thank youvfor doing this
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for posting this almost bought one and I have sensitive skin 😬
Thank you so much for making this video helped us a lot. Keep me from wasting money and burning my skin🙏🏻🙏🏻🥴🥴🥴
Tonight was the first time I read about the Nano crystal technology in the Bleame depilator. I have tried those Aussie Nads years ago & it ripped off my skin instead of removing hair. I was wondering if this product would do something similar, but without the fragrance rashes common to products like Nair, etc. I'm glad to see a post from another person with sensitive skin that shows what the product actually does if you really work hard to remove the hair. Like you my arm hair is fine (other hair areas that have been shaved not so much)... I read a report about it not taking off the fine hair readily, but that it would if you kept working at it. Those reports had dermatologist opinions about the possibility of irritation, but I still had to see a video review. Unlike other products that the video reviews are at the top of the search engine. I had to go almost all the way to the bottom of the first page to find your video review. I'm glad I kept looking. Your one review was enough...I had to look at two or three for that Green Tea Mask Roll-on Stick stuff just for kicks...(Yeah, it's definitely falsely touted as well, but does work as a basic face mask, like the Freeman Masks, but without fragrance, according to reviewers...) I despise being lied to by false advertising...Thank you for your review!
You’re welcome!
Impulse bought this item as well and also burnt my skin. Very deceptive! Thanks for sharing your experience
Thank you for supporting us! They’ve been gaslighting people and blaming injuries on customers, I called them out on it and they just blocked me on Instagram today (they blocked me on tiktok a couple days ago).
When all I see is positive reviews it is 100% suspicious. Not one product in the world has all positive feedback. Thanks for this.
That’s very true!
thanks for being honest and saying what this is about and what can happen and that bleame
Glad to help! 💕
Thanks for this! I was looking for reviews and thought it was super shady that pretty much all the “honest” reviews showing up when I googled either were straight up from a Bleame instagram/UA-cam, or seemed affiliated with them. Glad I didn’t buy one! 🙏
You're welcome!
thank you for posting this!
You’re welcome Sofia!
I just got mine today, wish I would have seen this video before lol. It really sucks that they’re being a bit shady on the return policy and about negative reviews, otherwise I wouldn’t have supported. Surprisingly however, it actually seems to be working a bit on my legs, and I have relatively coarse hair. But I’m only doing a small section to test it out. Will keep y’all updated if I remember 👍
Update it’s been 10 minutes and I feel itchy. Not looking great fellas
Update 2: Not too bad actually. Maybe I got lucky this round
Keep us posted how things go tomorrow! My lower legs did fine, but my arms and my inner thigh did not handle it well at all. Plus the shady business practices are frustrating, maybe even more than the skin irritation.
Thank you so much for this honest review! I almost just bought it because I've been seeing the ads for probably a year or so, and they almost had me convinced. Maybe it does work for some people, but it definitely seems to create burns and rashes on a lot of people. While that's sad and I'm sorry it burned you, I'm glad to know my "too-good-to-be-true" radar is working okay. Maybe I'll try it anyway and see if it works for me. I have really tough skin that constantly needs exfoliating so maybe it won't hurt me. I've even lightly rubbed my legs with my pumice stone and I don't get burns or rashes from that, so maybe Bleame will be okay. I'm not sure. If I try it, I'll let you know what happens.
Keep me posted!
@@thefitcookie Will do! I have not tried it yet as of now.
I’ve used mine 2x - it seems to work well on my lower legs. Anything more sensitive it burns. I really wanted it for my upper thighs - with shaving cream it didn’t burn, so if you already have one I’d recommend giving that a try.
I think the risk is too high for injury to tell people to just try it out and see what happens. I didn't get a reaction on my lower legs, but I did on my arms. I tried it on my arms dry, with shaving cream, and wet, and all ended in a rash. The shaving cream test and dry test on my arms didn't end up with quite as severe a rash as the wet skin test, but it was still a rash. I tried with dry on my inner thigh and ended up with a rash there, too.
Even though it did fine on MY lower legs, it's not the same for everyone and the risk of injury is still very high. I've been seeing a bunch of people in our Facebook group with rashes on their lower legs from the Bleame, so I don't want to even tell people to patch test it. Plus some people have gotten staph infections so I don't think the risk of injury is remotely worth it with these types of products.
I knew that something was up with all of the overwhelming positive reviews in the comments section of their ads, so I came to UA-cam looking for reviews. Thank you, I will pass on this product.
Thank you soo soo much for taking the time to make this amazing review video. I wanted so bad for it to work but I have super sensitive skin so naturally I was skeptical. And THANK YOU google chrome for putting this video as one of the top links for when I searched “mybleame”.
Thank you for (quite literally) saving my skin!
So glad I could help!
I wish I had watched your video before I used it because. The damage it did to my skin was so so so much worse. The rash was all over both my legs and the next night, they were so itchy I couldn’t bare it and now I have scabs everywhere. 🤧
Oh no I’m sorry that happened 😣 I had tiny scabs on my arm for over a week after my burn, I can’t imagine what your legs feel like.
Omg SAME
I hate this product so much... it left me with multiple burns & I do not have sensitive skin or usually get razor burns. It felt like I was rubbing my skin with a rough brick
I’m sorry that happened to you, it’s so painful! I ended up filing a report from my injury with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, as well as the FTC over their business practices.
@@thefitcookie I'm glad you filed a report! I honestly don't know how they are allowed to sell a product like this... Also they deleted my comments on Instagram too not just hid them, they are completely gone. It's so sketchy that they can't show all of the real feedback!
@@thefitcookie update: they completely blocked me on Instagram now!! Also I have sent a couple emails asking for a refund & they came back asking me to send photos of my burns which I did but the audacity saying they didn't believe me without photo proof. Extremely unprofessional
@@mirandaa6944 Yikes!! I saw that they require photos for a return and it's so wrong, and definitely isn't a "risk free" return when they make people show proof of burns. Really unethical of them!!
I wish I would have come across this video before I purchased. I had a similar result and actually ended up bleeding in sensitive areas. Yikes!
Sorry you're going through that, I hope you heal quickly!
I saw ads for these months ago and never believed them, but then they didn't stop so I was curious. Happy to see your review. My only criticism is that in the Instagram comments section there was a button saying "Load more comments" at the bottom and the comments weren't in reverse chronological order, so it might not actually prove comments are being hidden. The website reviews and live demonstration are convincing though. It seems like this product would be better for exfoliating than for hair removal.
The order of the comments on the Instagram post isn't really relevant since I did load all the comments that weren't hidden by Bleame (you can see in the video that I intentionally loaded every comment available on that post) and I scrolled top to bottom then bottom to top again and my comment wasn't there. The only reason the bottom of the screen keeps saying load more comments after I loaded everything is because there are lots of comments I can't see on their posts because Bleame is hiding them and there are more comments, but I can't actually load anymore than that because they're hidden. What I recorded in the video was actually the second or third time I had checked that post, I checked it several times before I actually took a recording. I also had done this with multiple Instagram posts, taking video of several, but for time's sake I only added one video here.
I also ran a test on their Facebook posts and the same thing happened, I even asked others to check to see if they could see my comments and they were hidden. I also checked for other people's comments who private messaged me that they had commented and their comments were gone too.
@@thefitcookie 🤔 So the button being there is a UI glitch and not being able to indicate inputs is a limitation of the recording software?
@@livipup if you watch the video again, I load all the comments that will load. It’s clear in the video. That’s something with Instagram not being able to load hidden comments for me, not the recording device (which was my phone). Go to the Bleame ads and check out the comments, I’m sure it will do the same thing for you and other people trying to load all the comments when there are a bunch of hidden comments.
I was really excited that it was promising to help with keratosis pilaris or "chicken skin"/"strawberry legs". I've tried so many of the top-rated creams and exfoliants, but I don't have the time to be consistent with it.
Just another example of being given a false 'easy way out' when there really isn't one...
I can't imagine what this would do for skin that's already irritated or bumped up from keratosis pilaris! I think back when I bought mine last year, it was advertised for sensitive skin. Now they're telling people not to use it for sensitive skin. They can't keep their story straight!
The skin is already soooo dry as it is, i can only imagine the amount of damage this would do!
I'm glad I found this though, because all of the comments on the actual product are so positive, but when you look at similar products online that claim to work the same "miracles", its all angry people wanting their money back. So, do you go with the crazy amount of pleased people in the reviews of THIS specific product, and just assume it's somehow different than the rest? or do you go with the reviews of people who have tried similar products, and hated them? That's where you come in! Lol.
Have you seen that green tea blackhead mask that's advertised all over, where the blackheads supposedly just come out all on there own? That's another one I wanted to try, but again, there are mixed reviews everywhere. It's so hard to know if you can trust the person leaving the comment.
First of all thank you!! for posting a true review. I was going to purchase however I decided to read reviews first. When I googled reviews your youtube came up (there are others as well). Needless to say I will not be purchasing this product. Regardless the company hiding reviews is shady at best. Facebook also has this ad and lots of positive comments on how well it works. My advice to you due diligence and research before purchasing anything from facebook, instagram, or tik tok. The old adage still stands true "BUYER BEWARE".
Yes! I’ve reported some of their ads on instagram (before I was blocked) for false advertising and Instagram removed them, so that was good. They’ll keep putting out ads though so people need to be cautious. A friend of mine bought some shoes from a Facebook ad and was ripped off too, bad product and couldn’t get a refund. Seems like there are a lot of these kinds of companies popping up.
Loved the micheal jorden clip 😂😂
I wasn’t sure if it fit, but I was going to MAKE it fit because I wanted to use it 😂
Thank you for this review 🙏🏿
You’re welcome!
Glad I googled before I bought
Thanks, Sarah!!
You’re welcome Kandice!
I just got one of these for a Christmas gift and I finally tried it out today. It worked fine for me, but I agree with the other comments saying there is stinging afterwards. The stinging for me wasn’t bad and I was able to remove as much leg hair as I do with a razor, but you HAVE to make sure to use some kind of lotion or moisturizer afterwards, ESPECIALLY if you have sensitive skin like I do. I think the stinging for me would’ve been much more severe if I hadn’t used lotion, but I lathered up my legs well immediately after using the eraser and I was fine. Definitely found their business practices rather shady, though. I knew something had to be up when I saw no reviews with less than 5 stars on their socials or their site. The reason I got this thing is because standard razors make me nervous and I wanted to try something new that didn’t involve a blade or any sharpness. I’ll keep using the Bleame for now, but I’m definitely gonna keep using lotion right after. Maybe I’ll even try shaving cream next time. Whatever keeps the skin moisturized so the burning doesn’t get bad.
I used lotion afterwards and tested some areas with shaving cream and still ended up with a rash :( Keep us posted how it goes for you with continued use! I'd just be very cautious while using it.
Horrible experience with this hair removal crystal ! Never again! Thank you for your video!
You’re welcome!
guys.. i spent $60 on this after seeing all the positive reviews and once i got, i tried it and i started bleeding... bruh i've never had this happen to me with razors EVER. This is terrible! and it barely cleared any hairs with how many time i had to rub and i was pressing gently, applying a little pressure made my skin red too..
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this! It can be so painful 😣 I hope you heal up quickly. Pure aloe or numbing burn cream might help (just check the back label to make sure it’s safe for broken skin).
Not only did this hurt. It caused bleeding, and my skin isn't sensitive. I had to clean it(hurt like hell), put Bacitracin triple antibiotic..
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
This goes to show how critically important it is to check your sources and do research. Make sure you get every end of the story.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Omg. I just used it for the first time and although it did get the hair off my legs and exfoliate, my legs are burning. It said to moisturize after and that made it worse. I want to put ice packs on my legs. 😭 I wish I had done some research before buying.
Oh no! 😣 I’m sorry that happened, I’m so frustrated Bleame keeps telling people this product is “gentle” on skin.
Same thing is happening to me currently I thought I just pushed to hard, guess not!!
Thanks for the review 🙌 I was in two minds about this product but glad I didn't purchase
You're welcome Kamila!
I am so glad I found this as I was going to buy it soon! ugh!!! Does anybody have any other recommendations? I get such bad razor bumps on my bikini area, and I've read so many articles on how to shave right to avoid that but I still get them anyway. I'm allergic to just about everything under the sun including beeswax and honey so I am nervous to do waxing or chemical. I've tried an epilator once and it made my skin in the area I tested so red and painful, and I had red bumps that hurt for a week. I'm also way too poor for laser lol! How do I get rid of this damn hair!!!!!!! I just want to be silky smooth *cry* I hate having body hair, I find it uncomfortable and itchy and I hate the way it looks. I feel like a pretty swan when I shave....a pretty and bumpy swan.
The only thing I can recommend is at-home IPL, I have a Silken device that seems to slow down hair growth but doesn't get rid of it completely for me. Of course you have to shave before using it, so just keep that in mind, but it might be something to think about. I've had mine for a couple years now and it's still working. They cost a bit, but it should last for a while.
I wish I had seen this and had done more research sooner. I just got my shipping notification for them and I'm already skeptical. I bought this because shaving gives me rashes... I just figured that I would check out their Facebook today to see what everyone was saying and I thought it was weird that some of their posts had like 30+ comments with like 16 angry face emojis, but I couldn't see one comment on their post. I was like, "Huh. Well, that's strange. Even with privacy settings put in place, I should be able to see SOME of the comments out of the 30 something it says this post has. And why are there so many angry faced emojis?" It all makes sense now. Wish me luck on getting a refund if this thing doesn't work! Thank you for your honest feedback!
I ran into that so many times with their social media channels! I hope you can get your refund, some people got their refunds easy and others didn't, there isn't really a rhyme or reason to it except I'm fairly sure that they are using new orders to fund refunds knowing that not everyone is going to try going through the effort for the Bleame refund/return process since they have made it complicated.
I've been duped!! I should have looked for this before I purchased!
I brought 2 of them...UGH
Did you return yours?
I didn't end up sending the erasers back. Initially when I contacted them about a refund, they gave me their canned 50% refund response and send back the items but with very tedious instructions, so I put it off. When I wrote my blog post, they immediately refunded my money out of the blue with no mention of me returning the erasers. They have changed their return policy several times over the past few months, so now they have some nonsense about you can't return them if they are used (not sure how you can try it out then) and their canned responses are like 50% refund. Even though their product pages promise a 30-day money back guarantee. Some people have been successful getting full refunds if they tell Bleame they are filing reports with BBB, FTC, etc.
Aww crud. Bought these for my Daughter and myself.
First thing I thought when I saw this was "is that sandpaper?" But was still curious 😂 love the review thank you ❤
You caught onto that faster than I did! 😂 I didn’t realize it was basically a glass nail file till I got it and ended up with the rash on my arm.
@thefitcookie oh girly! Thank you for taking one for the team of woman kind 😂 but seriously even the reviews on Amazon are misleading.
Different versions of this have been around forever. Sold at 5 and dime stores cheap. My grandma used a pad form for peach fuzz . The fact that they have put the sandpaper on a hard surface is probably not helpful. I appreciate the review here, because I almost bought it thinking it was a better version than grandmas .
yeah i dont have sensitive legs but this destroyed my skin very painful they deleted my complaint
Sorry that happened! I hope you heal up quickly
Thank you for the honest review. I am definitely not going to buy this.
i just bought this recently and decided to try it out and i read all kinds of positive comments and never really saw any negative and know i see why. now i sit here with BURNING legs and feeling like a complete idiot… i do want to know though because i cannot find things to save my life but how did you (or anyone else who sees this) heal up and get rid of the rash that was left?? or is it still there??
The rash usually will go away after a few days to a week or 2, but keep an eye out for staph infection. Some of the people in our Facebook group ended up having to get medical attention due to staph infections. Not to scare you or anything but just keep an eye on your rash to make sure it doesn't start to get pussy, etc. A numbing burn cream might work ok on the rash, but I'd check the label to make sure it's ok to add to broken skin. I can't give medical advice, so if it doesn't get better or starts to seem odd, see a doc or call your local ask a nurse.
my paranoia is getting to me so it does a little bit lol. usually everything works out so HOPEFULLY it doesn’t get worse. it doesn’t seem too bad right now and i keep putting aloe on it to calm the curbing but i will definitely start using cortisone as well and i will definitely keep an eye out thank you!
@@hannahcarter9311 sending hugs! I'm sure everything will heal up well for you :)
IT AMAZES ME how they thought they could get away with this😂😂😂Hiding comments and denying bad reviews. Like, it's the internet babe!🤷🏻♀️ One of these days people are going to hear about it
And quite a few people are noticing and keeping track, too! They can’t keep hiding this kind of thing forever.
Bleame is crap. It refuses to remove my hair. I tried armpit and legs. No go. I just made my legs dry and ashy looking. Waste of money.
I tried this and it ended up burning and irritating my skin. had to apply medication to soothe the pain. i commented on one of Bleame’s IG posts to share my experience with the product but it got removed because of what I mentioned. do not get this product, ill recommend sticking with your wax strips or simply your shaver.
Thank you for sharing your honest experience Daniel!
I got mine today. I’ve tried it and honestly it doesn’t work. Wish I had done my research before hand especially as I have very sensitive skin. I have what’s commonly known as strawberry legs and honestly it made it worse
I'm sorry, that's so frustrating :(
How is this product any different than a pumice stone?
These hair erasers are quite a bit different than pumice stones (if you're referring to real pumice stones) but can still damage skin. A true pumice stone is a lot more aggressive, but it's usually only advertised for calluses. The Bleame (and similar products) aren't as aggressively abrasive as a pumice stone, but they are advertised for use on all kinds of skin and sensitive parts of the body, like the bikini area. These hair erasers might actually work ok on foot calluses after using a coarse pumice stone.
Is there any way to report this brand / company?
Hi Fiona! We have some links in the video description to webpages for the FTC and US Consumer Safety Commission, also BBB and TrustPilot are good places to share your experience as well. Also sharing your experience on social media helps since people who are looking for more info about the product can find posts.
Bleame is so skeezey. The product did not work for me either and I was not successful in obtaining a refund.
I'm hearing from several people that they've only been able to get full refunds when they have posted a ton of complaints online. It's is very skeezy!
And of course they are deleting all negative comments so customers are overwhelmed with hundreds of raving comments. Even if it did not cause irritation, the process itself takes literal ages and it is just useless.
Yes! It definitely does not take 5 minutes like the box says.
Same!!! Irritated my skin soooo much
Omg a little to late for me .. irritating my skin had blood coming out of my skin .. pls do not buy product .. thanks for the video
I’m really sorry to hear that! 😣
Thank you for the candid review! Thank God i did not buy it
Glad to help!
I was thinking about buying it thank God I didn't
So glad you didn't get one! They're probably fine as a foot file and that's about it (but honestly too expensive for a foot file).
Your poor arm! This was what I was afraid of when I heard about the product. I can't use it.
It looks like some people can use this product ok, but I don't think it's worth the risk! It's SO painful.
@@thefitcookie The skin on my legs is sensitive. This would be risky. It's a shame. I would have loved this product.
Honestly, you just never really got used to it... I "burned" myself a little the first time trying to figure out how it worked but I just kept doing it and haven't been "burned" since then - I think your skin almost needs to adjust to it since it is kind of an extreme thing I guess. It's essentially a ton of tiny razors - so if you took any razor and pressed down very hard on dry skin it wouldn't be pretty either. That said, it's a lot of work and a lot of getting used to HOWEVER - if you struggle with "Strawberry legs" and ingrown hairs - then this is the product for you! It is the only thing I ever found that helps with that... You shouldn't use on like armpits or bikini area which stinks. Also, I found the hair grows back slower and softer so that is nice since I am usually someone who has hard stubble hours after shaving. Lastly - I kind of like that you can easily leave some hair - I have wild arm hair and using this lets me kind of thin it out but not get rid of it completely which makes me look weird having big bald baby arms or stubble lol. Hoping this info helps someone! ☺
I don’t want to encourage anyone who gets burned to use it again, that can be dangerous. I’ve spoken with multiple people who have gotten serious staph infections from the skin damage this has caused them. If it burns, why use it again? That doesn’t make sense to keep using a product that causes problems.
@@thefitcookie Well it burned because it was used wrong... if you use a razor wrong you will also burn. Same with a lot of hair remover creams / gels. Everything makes me burn! Also - you can't get staph infections from this product unless you actually come in contact with those germs - which could start with any cut or scratch, just like from razors. I get what you are saying but I think if we over analyze ANY company or product it can look bad. This item DOES have beneficial uses... besides everything I have said before it's a great exfoliator for knees, elbows and feet like for use with tanning lotions. I don't know - to each their own but I love mine.
@@EstherOfToday if you love yours, great. Some people do, but I don't think you should belittle other people's injuries, blaming them for getting hurt, then telling me I'm wrong for warning people of the potential risks.
@@thefitcookie ...but are you warning them that if they use a razor the wrong way it could hurt them? I have not belittled anyones injuries - but if someone burns themself on the stove by touching it - while I can feel empathy for them - it doesn't mean the stove or stove company was bad. We can agree to disagree on this but I have used it way more I'm sure and don't think your videos gave it a fair review - and I am entitled to that opinion. I have no connection to you or Bleame in any way - I just wanted to share my own positive experience. ☺
@@EstherOfToday You have belittled people's injuries by saying it's their own fault they have been injured by not using it properly, you told me that. If the situation was reversed, would you like someone to tell you that your injuries from a product you purchased and used properly were your own fault?
Trying to compare this to touching a hot stove is a false equivalence. A stove is not designed to be used on human skin. The bleame was advertised as a "painless" tool for the skin. It is not remotely even the same thing and trying to compare the 2 situations is not the same. One is using the tool in a way that it was not meant for or advertised for. The bleame is being used as directed and still causing injury.
As for razors, those have been around for hundreds of years and people are taught how to use them properly and safely typically by family members and millions of people have used them. How many people have used a "crystal" hair eraser and can teach each other how to use it safely? They rely on the company for safety info. But again the company itself can't even tell people how to use it safely because they are constantly changing their safety recommendations. And their promo videos and ads show people using it fast and with lots of pressure. As I've said before, I don't have to tell people how to use razors properly because that's not the focus of my videos and lots of other people do that.
Addressing your earlier point about people can't get staph from this, you can get staph anytime your skin is broken. Staph bacteria strains are a normal inhabitant of human skin and can cause infection anytime there is an open wound, especially if that open wound is a lot of tiny cuts, like what happens when people get friction burns from these glass erasers.
And yes you absolutely are entitled to your own opinion that you think I did not give it a fair review, but I am also entitled to respond to your comments that I am being unfair, obsessive, and over analyzing. It goes both ways. You're making some odd accusations and I have a right to address them, too.
I was happy with it,but I didn’t have much hair to use it on. Some of these demos look like people are sanding, lighten up the pressure!
Maybe you need to rewatch: light pressure didn’t work for me or many other people. Using gentle pressure didn’t even remove hair. Maybe the Bleame worked well for you because you didn’t have much hair to begin with? Just because you haven’t been injured doesn’t mean other people’s injuries should be dismissed as just using the product wrong.
Ladies this is the SAME exact reason not to buy Il Makiage makeup. It is literally the worst makeup on the entire planet omg IT IS SOOOO BAD!!! Worse than dollar store foundation. Literally settles into all my fine lines and makes me look 80 years old, and rubs off easily. And yep, they remove any and all bad reviews I ever try to leave on their social media posts. When you see nothing but good reviews, it’s always a scam.
Oh dang it, I was thinking about buying some Il Makiage makeup since I’ve seen so many rave reviews and ads on Instagram! Really was hoping it was as good as they say, I’ll have to look at more reviews online. I’m usually never duped by this stuff but Bleame really got me and it’s made me wary.
Any tips on healing irritated skin?! 🥲
You might be able to try some numbing burn cream on your skin, just check the label to see if it's ok for broken skin (usually it's fine but it's best to double check). Definitely keep an eye on your skin, some people who got injured ended up with staph and had to get antibiotic cream, so if it looks bad and gets weepy and crusty and takes a while to heal, might not hurt to get it looked at by a doctor. Hopefully everything heals up ok for you.
Wish I had looked into it more before I bought it because OW. ow.
Sorry you got hurt! I really hate that their products are hurting so many people 😢
