Painful, annoying, and unsightly, these are the words I use to describe ingrown hair. Despite maintaining a strict exfoliation routine and Brazilian wax schedule, my body has a mind of its own. Instead of enjoying stubble-free skin for weeks, I spend some time nursing those pesky hairs that come with irritation and redness. So, I was intrigued once I got my hands on Eadem’s Smooth Slate Ingrown Relief Serum.

If you’re unfamiliar with Eadem’s genius, there are plenty of reasons why the Smooth Slate Ingrown Relief Serum should become a part of your routine. It features a mix of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and nourishing ingredients formulated to fade dark spots, soothe razor burn and irritation, and slow hair regrowth. In addition, it promises to untrap ingrown hairs and keep new trapped hairs from forming. So, it’s easy to see why this scientifically-backed find has been labeled a magic eraser.

It’s no secret that many brands make strong claims that they can’t back up. So, after learning about the innovation, I decided to test the serum.

The application process

Typically, ingrown hairs don’t show up on my skin until a few days after getting a wax, so I decided to test the serum right after getting the service. At first glance, I immediately appreciated the stick construction for a seamless application. If you’re like me, you’ve probably tried liquid serums that can make the application a mess and leave your intimate areas feeling sticky. However, this serum is a refreshing change of pace. 

Working on clean, dry skin, I applied the formula to my groin area. The serum felt lightweight and glided across my skin with ease. There were no leftover specks of product on my skin. The product also absorbed quickly into my skin, so there was no need to worry about my clothing getting stained. 

After using the serum for a few weeks, day and night after showering, the itchy sensation and redness I usually experience were non-existent. My skin also felt baby-soft.

My final verdict

Eadem’s Smooth Slate Ingrown Relief Serum reminded me that dealing with ingrown hairs doesn’t have to feel like a battle. Unlike other offerings, the serum nourished my skin sans a tacky, sticky feel. While  I did have one ingrown hair form, the serum did a great job of reducing the blemish. I also loved that the formula provided instant relief for itchy skin and slowed my regrowth. My hair typically grows pretty fast, so it was nice to realize that this product helped me get more out of my Brazilian wax. After all, Brazilian waxes are not cheap, especially if you go to a seasoned and notable wax specialist. 

One major perk of this serum is that it can be used by anyone all over the body — from beards to hoo-has. I also dig the $36 price point. While this may seem expensive for an ingrown hair treatment, it’s well worth it. Since the product comes in a creamy, stick form, there’s no worry about using excess product. If you’re ready to regain control of your skin post-waxing and shaving, Eadem’s Smooth Slate Ingrown Relief Serum is well worth a try.
