After 2.5 weeks, I have noticed significant improvement in my complexion, though I the lotion once a day and have not always used daily, or almost 70% of the ingrown hairs are verchwunden and skin is much smoother. The smell is not that bad because it disappears immediately after use of the lotion. In between, I have twice the upper layer of skin of the legs with a rough Moroccan glove in a moist warm air removed, for example in a shower or bath or hammam. In this type of peeling can be seen clearly how the upper dead skin layer is removed (it looks like thin spaghetties :)). After each exfoliation I've used a cream containing urea for dry skin. I think the good results I've been through the combination of mechanical exfoliation get (using rough glove) and chemical peeling (lotion). Mechanical peeling damp warm air (as in Turkish) primarily uses the ingrown hair but avoid if they are already there then you should do both to get faster results. I hope I could help!
