Smooth Away is another of those infomercial products that I keep seeing on TV. The View featured it yesterday on their “As Seen On TV” segment where co-host Sherri tested the pads and it actually works.
What is Smooth Away? It’s pretty much a pad that could possibly replace razors. Pads are available in different sizes to use for different parts of the body such as the legs, armpit, upper lip, chin, eyebrows and whatever else you feel the need to shave :). One other good thing about Smooth Away is that it supposedly exfoliates your skin while buffing the hair away. Whoopi Goldberg was all over it yesterday and if Whoopi says it works, then it must because I highly doubt Whoopi would BS and lie to us :).
Smooth Away is offering a $14.99 buy one (set) get one (set) free sale at their official website. If you try it please let me know how it works.

I bought the product from CVS yesterday and tried it. I found that it did work if I did 3 circular motions one way and then the other way for each section of my legs like the directions said. I used the smaller pads under my arms and OUCH – so I would not recommend using it for under the arms.
One drawback was that the smooth free-ness didn’t last more than 1/2 a day. But it is great in a pinch if you don’t want to shave and nice when the weather is cold and the skin gets dry. It seems like the replacement pads might be expensive, so I would say it would be better to find a super fine grit sand paper because I think that is all the pads are – just a light sand paper.
ave: we’re wondering wether or not to buy the smooth away…we have heard mixed reviews…does it really work or is it just sand paperr??? and if it does work for you, does it work as well as shavingg?
milly: its ok if it takes a little bit to do… everythihg does… but the thing i really want to know is if it is a waste of money that doesnt work at all no matter what you so…
also, does it completely stop your hair growth after you use all of the pads? that would be nasto
okayy people this doesn work if you read the directions it says it doesnt work on hair longs then 1/4 so if you’ve never shaved your arms and your usein it of corse it would work. and one swipe of it doesnt make it go away. i take maybe 10 swipe in a conter clockwise motion. it works for me i shave my legs alot and it works. and it leave my legs feeling soft and smooth. i got it for $10 at wal-greens and im glad it takes me about 15 min on each leg and its so worth it. i enjoy it.
I love it! I used it on my boyfriends back and chest and it feels wonderful. I just want to know if its possible to order only the pads? It took me 4 pads to do him and only 5 came with the kit. Please let me. Thanks smooth away.
Smooth Away! Does it work?!?-you may ask! Some people say yes some say no, I believe it depends on the type of skin you may have, whether your skin is soft, rough, or sensitive. Remember that not every product out there works for everybody! Plus, you must have the patience for it to really work. Don’t think that its going to take all the hair away in seconds! Thank you :) if you feel the need to reply back, please do! Whether you are against Smooth Away, or you think my belief is correct. <I’m not trying to be to dramatic, because I might be wrong.
Smooth away is a SCAM! Don’t bother especially since their products, if they worked, are available in the mall. They will charge your account for $60 some dollars due to “shipping and handling” without disclosing this process so their actually thieves coming into your home and stealing from you.
I got it and I used it! It totally worked except the pads dont last that long!
I ordered this product and never received it. I called their customer service department and they said that it had been too long since I ordered it and would do nothing about it.
I just bought and LOVE it! 10 minutes, a little lotion and my legs (knees down) were smooth and ready to go. I’ve read the complaints about irritation, but have had none. I know my face is overly sensitive-so I won’t be trying it there, but as far I as I concerned-great item as an alternative to shaving. I will probably alternate between shave and smooth.
I’d been seeing the commercials and have been wanting to try these forever. I purchased these from ABC Distributing for 6.95 (plus shipping) and they should probably disclaim “Results May Vary”. I am so happy for the people that this product worked for (perhaps you have the “right” kind of body hair, skin, etc. for this product). Here are my issues with it:
1. Takes too long
2. Does not remove all hair (it did seem to remove some)
3. Makes arm tired – you have to do the circles vigorously!
4. One pad wears out VERY quickly…like after doing one leg.
However, it does have a great buffing effect and exfoliated my skin. I appiled lotion afterward, and my skin is smoother than before (if not completely hairless).
I hope this helps! Remember ladies…RESULTS MAY VARY! :)
I bought this on a whim and love it. You have to remember that your skin has to be clean and dry. I used it on my legs and ended up with hairless smooth legs. I have been looking for a way to get away from thr razer,(tired of cuts) and this product is perfect.
It does work, i was surpirsed. but for those who is trying it and doesn’t work. Probrably just doing it more than 3 times in one directions. Or sometimes when the hair is too thick then it wont go away. i am a 12 years old and i bought for myself and tried it. Remember to put lotion on after you use Smooth Away, so the skin can be smoothen out.
sO i bOught this and it wOrked awesOme on one Of my legs and then i went to do tha otha one and it didnt even work so in other words it only worked on one my legs like whatttt i woulda not recomend this bwecause i hadda buy razors anyways like this was so wackk
I bought it at rite aid today after seeing the adds on tv and I was excited to try it. Well I’m not even done with my first leg and it’s taken almost a half hour. I am frusterated and my arm hurts! Don’t get me wrong the parts that I finished are very soft but really I don’t think it’s worth it! I plan to go back to shaving, if I could go back I wouldn’t waste my time.
i jus bought the smooth away today in walgreens for 10$ and its amazing i love it
I haven’t yet tried smooth away, but I’ve been reserching for the past three days now, and I’ve heard some ups and downs on this product. The worst is when this girl actually tried it and got white powder all over her legs and cut her lip when tring to smooth away her facial hair.But the best is when another girl tried and she hasn’t had to shave for three weeks! Because there’s only about 50% of her hair on her legs that’s very fine right now. Other reviews have said the product pads wear down very fast.And the product inself takes so much time it takes about 20 minutes to do one leg. The product is made of super fine cyrstles that doesn’t look like it will take off hair. But it does or at least that’s what people say. I’ve also got some great news for you it exfoliates your skin, but sometimes it can exfoliate to much and make your skin sore, or for some people it can leave your skin alittle to rough so you need to mosturize after your use. One flaw I’ve heard is that you can’t use it like a razor you need to buff it. It’s only worth about $15 bucks so if this product doesn’t work out for you it isn’t that much money. You can buy the smooth away at wallgreens, bed bath and beyond, online, on the phone, or at CVS.I’m usually not to confident that comercial products will work. They are usually scams that don’t work but I’ve heard on and off comments on this product. My very best advise from my reserch would diffently be that everyone’s hair is different as well as there skin so this product might not work out for you. You usually need to have fine hair for the best affect on this product for others that have thick or thine hair this product could or could not work I suggest reserching this product affect with your hair type. Skin wise every type of skin should be alright with this product but I’m not making promises at all. Try it out right your review and help other girls make the diccsion to buy this product. I’ll right my review if my mom alows me to get it. By the way you need to read the directions on the box. And don’t try anything different for the best affect. Hope you find this review helpful and don’t use this as your only sorce.
Save your $$ for a good razor…this just takes to long for large areas…your better off shaving your legs and armpits….(arms also) but it worked on my face (but it does tingle a bit)
This only works…if you have about 3 hours to spare…and if your buffed out…because it takes for ever and your arms get tired..if would be faster to tweeze each and every individual hair out…another thing is you dont know when the pads are working..or if they stopped working, when to change them…
Not for large areas….use on your face, or small areas..and from what i read dont order online…
it works !! i got mine today from hsn.com and believe it or not it works !! granted i don’t know how good it would be on super hairy legs chest etc but i had stubble and it worked great… legs are smooth as a baby’s butt !
I bought this product at Walgreens and to be honest, it really worked for me. I used it on my upper lip and was absolutely amazed how it removed the facial hair. One of the things I think one needs to do is make sure you are using this product after a shower or bath and do not use any body lotions if you are going to use this product. I bought it, then completely washed my face, because I did have on make-up. The area has to be totally clean and free of any oil or other skin products. Also, if you are pressed for time, then this is not a product you should use. I know the TV shows this hair removal being immediate, but lets face it, they only have three minutes to tell you about the product. This, in my opinion, is a product to totally pamper yourself with. As far as price, I never order any of these thing from the company. They traditionally charge way too much for postage. Most of these products will hit a Walgreens, Bed, Bath and Beyond, etc. within 6 months after they are first seen on televison. That’s when I buy them. I paid 9.99 and I can get replacement pads at Amazon.com. Hope this helps.
