I have extremely long "peach fuzz" all over my entire face and I want to get rid of it. In the sunlight it looks like I have a full on beard. I can't get laser hair removal like I want to because I'm on Accutane. What should I do? Do you think it would be safe to use a facial hair removal cream on my entire face?

The only type of hair removal I would use while on accutane is plucking and threading. Since none of them involve chemicals/ or pulling on the skin. Considering you arent even supposed to use other topicals on your skin while on accutane, I really dont think putting hair removal cream on it (which is basically acid stuff) is a good idea.

 

You could probably have an entire face of hair removed by threading, since some people get their arms threaded.

 

All of that said, I am sure you dont have as much all over facial hair as you think you do, generally once you start hair removal you have to keep going with it, so I would make sure you are positive that is the route you want to go.

Whatever you do, do not wax. I waxed a small portion while on Accutane and ended up with an awful wound that scabbed over and just looked awful. Just live with the fuzz or pluck, imo.

This thing is awesome and easy and a way to pluke lots of hair at once! I'd give it a try. Coolest product I've found in awhile!
