"I bought V-kit. I love how my skin is smooth. I waxed about 2 weeks and had a few bumps on the bikini area. The bumps disappeared after using the range. My skin is so smooth and velvety. This is my new go to after care products."

Shaving and waxing scrape your skin, so it turns rough, bumpy and darker in patches
- You shave or waxThe razor or wax pulls off the top layer of your skin along with the hair.
- Your skin gets dry and irritatedWithout that top layer, skin loses water and turns red and rough.
- Irritated skin makes extra pigmentThat extra pigment shows up as dark patches.
- New hairs get trappedHairs that grow back under dead skin turn into ingrowns and bumps, which irritate the skin again.
โบThen the next shave starts it all again. That's why the dark patches keep coming back.
This serum goes over all the skin you shave or wax, once a day, to keep it smooth and soft and help dark patches look more even.
What it does
