Ingrown Concentrate 14ml

Product Information

Ranella Hirsch, MD, is a dermatologist in Cambridge, Massachusetts. How do you prevent an ingrown hair? After lots of trial and error, I’ve discovered that no hair-removal method can completely prevent ingrown hairs, but hair-removal creams are by far the least likely to give me bumps and inflammation. As a refresher, hair-removal creams “break down the tight bonds in our hair proteins, making them weak enough to break off,” as dermatologist Karan Lal, MD, has previously told Cosmo, which results in fewer jagged edges from waxing or shaving that can lead to ingrowns and irritation. Fwiw, I love this one because it’s so gentle on my skin—shout out to aloe vera and vitamin E—and the gel texture easily comes off in the shower.

Where: Exfoliating with the finger mitt works best on wet skin, so for full body exfoliation, it’s easiest to do in the shower. If you’d just like to use it on your face, wetting your face in the sink is fine!Testing Notes: We found that buffing the area helped dislodge any dead skin cells that could potentially clog the hair follicle. We like to apply the oil while the skin is still slightly damp, which allows the nourishing oil to sink even deeper into the skin. The smell is incredibly intoxicating and makes the whole experience of treating ingrown hairs into something far more luxurious. “My Fur Oil ritual turned my bathroom into a spa-like oasis,” says one WH editor in her review of the oil. "While the vegan oil is formulated without added fragrance, the natural ingredients do give off slight hints of lavender and lemon which simultaneously relax and invigorate. The light, refreshing scent was a great way to perk up in the morning." Ah, ingrown hairs. Most everyone has experienced them and despised it. The pesky little bumps typically show up on your legs after you shave or tweeze aggressively, forming hairs that grow inside your (now inflamed) skin rather than out of it. “When a hair becomes trapped in the skin, that can lead to inflammation, pustules, or inflamed cysts,” says dermatologist Dr. Caroline Robinson, MD.

A Harvard and Columbia business graduate, Schubert contracted a chemist and developed Fur pubic oil as a test product for the prospective line. After trying the oil for herself, Tung jumped ship from L’Oréal and joined Schubert to launch the new enterprise. Fur Oil is made of four primary natural ingredients: grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, clary sage oil, and tea tree oil. The full list of ingredients also includes such elements as lavender oil, lemongrass oil, camphor, and peppermint oil. What is Fur Oil good for? Fur's Ingrown Concentrate gently banishes bumps and redness. This all-natural oil and exfoliating finger mitt work in tandem, soothing irritation and eradicating ingrowns, resulting in clear, smooth pores for even the most sensitive skin types. Chemical peels will help dissolve and break up dead skin and oils, as well as smooth uneven skin texture and potentially fade hyperpigmentation Tea tree oil is a key ingredient in almost all the products in the Fur line, and it’s easy to see why. It’s a powerful antimicrobial essential oil that eliminates excess sebum in the pores to prevent ingrowns and speeds up the skin’s healing process. In other words, it replaces the need for alcohols and acids, which overly dry out the skin.Lavender Oil: An essential oil rich in antioxidants with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that soothe irritated skin and regulate sebum to promote healing and prevent scarring. A natural antioxidant that calms the skin to soothe redness. One of the oldest known remedies for irritated skin. If your follicles need a little more help, grabbing an ingrown hair treatment would be ideal. But be careful: “Some ingrown-hair products use a lot of isopropyl alcohol,” says Coba. “I’ve found that these products dry out the skin, and while they do clear blemishes, the dry skin creates new ingrown hairs. I’d avoid using anything drying.” How We Chose
