"This has glycolic and salicylic acid as well as niacinamide and zinc. There's no lactic acid in here. So this is great for discoloration and for preventing irritation and ingrown hairs. You can use this on the backs of your arms if you want to if you have those bumps there too. It's honestly amazing and it's so quick and easy to use. I will use this at night time, and sometimes in the morning if I'm not really going to be exposing much skin to the sun, but I try to keep these types of products at night."

"You can use this on your neck so if you're a male with a beard and you get irritation and ingrown hairs, you can roll this on in that area and I'm telling you this gets rid of irritation and it can really help to brighten up your skin as well, especially if you have discoloration underneath your arms, bikini, wherever. This has salicylic acid, glycolic acid, niacinamide, and zinc and it works like a dream and I can't be without it. If you suffer from ingrown hairs, I'm telling you right now you have to try this."

"I have an empty Topicals ingrown tonic. I've talked about this many times in the past and this is one of my go-tos for ingrown hairs and for those bumps that can develop behind your thighs. This is exceptional for using underneath your arms, your bikini line, anywhere where you develop ingrown hairs or bumps. And if you're a male and you shave a lot, you can actually use this and apply it to your neck afterwards to prevent those bumps and irritation. In this formulation there's salicylic acid, glycolic acid, niacinamide, and zinc. It really does work. I do have a backup. I can't go without this. This works really, really well. And also if you have discoloration, let's say underneath your arms, your bikini, anywhere, this can help to brighten that up at the same time. So it's not just for ingrown hairs and bumps, it's great for discoloration. So highly recommend."

"If you are prone to ingrown hairs, this is a great one to use every day either twice a day or once a day. It has retinol, it has patchouli in here, there's some AHAs, honestly there are so many anti-inflammatory ingredients in here along with ingredients to keep the skin nice and hydrated and plump. I did purchase another one. I have an empty Topicals Ingrown Tonic and I purchased this during the Sephora spring savings event and I'm just finishing it now. This lasted all summer long and I did use this every single day, especially on the backs of my thighs because [...] I do get a lot of ingrown hairs and bumps on the backs of my thighs, and this worked really well to keep the skin on the backs of my thighs smooth. I didn't have one ingrown hair this entire summer because I was using this once a day every single day. This is great to use on your bikini line. This is also great to use if you're somebody that has a beard and you shave a lot and you get ingrowns on your neck. [...] This has zinc, niacinamide, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid, so all of these ingredients really help to eliminate irritation but also to remove bumps and ingrown hairs. This is great as a preventative as well, so even if you don't have any ingrown hairs at the moment but you are prone to them, use it."
SEPHORA VIB SALE RECOMMENDATIONS | SPRING SAVINGS EVENT 2024 - SKINCARE, MAKEUP & HAIRCARE
"I like it because it is super effective and honestly within one or two uses you do notice that the bumps start to decrease. But if you know that you develop ingrown hairs in a specific area or you do develop bumps, if you just use this once a day it will prevent those bumps from developing. I do get a lot of bumps behind my thighs especially from shaving and stuff, so if I use this every day when I get out of the shower before putting on my body cream, I literally have no bumps at all and I don't develop any ingrown hairs. So this really is effective. There is salicylic acid, glycolic acid, niacinamide, and zinc, so this is great even for discoloration as well."

"This ingrown hair tonic is not only great for armpits but it is great for legs, for bikini areas, even for my chin when I get really bad ingrowns. It has exfoliating ingredients like salicylic and glycolic acid that are phenomenal for ingrown hairs. On top of the salicylic and glycolic acid, this also has zinc PCA and niacinamide, so this actually helps with the redness and the irritation, basically those little purple marks that these bumps and ingrowns can leave behind. It doesn't leave me sticky either. I absolutely love this, and if you are going anywhere this summer and you happen to have shaved or you have ever had an ingrown, this leaves your legs, your underarms, your bikini area, and even your chin super smooth, super soft, and ingrown free."
