Product overview
Jolen Creme Bleach Lightens Dark Hair Original Formula 30ml is a hydrogen peroxide-based creme bleach, formulated to lighten the colour of unwanted facial and body hair so it blends in and appears less visible.
Product-type note: this is a hair-lightening bleach, not a hair-removal (depilatory) product. It works by using an oxidizer (hydrogen peroxide) to lighten hair colour; it does not dissolve or remove the hair itself.
