Skip the salon — snag this permanent hair-removal tool for $60 (70% off)

Excellent news: Warm weather is finally here, which means it's time to pull down your storage bin of skin-baring flowy dresses and bathing suits that you've been dreaming about since the fall. One thing that those dreams don't include, though, is excess body hair. If you're self-conscious about stubble (or just hate to wax and shave), you might be looking for a quick solution. An easy one is laser hair removal, which permanently gets rid of body hair, but it's seriously expensive in the salon. At home, though? Not so much. Amazon just marked down the XSoul At-Home IPL Hair Removal device to $60 from $200.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

An average IPL session costs anywhere from $700 to over $1,000, depending on where you live and whether you can use insurance. That's not chump change, especially when it's not a one-and-done thing. So a top-rated, at-home device for just $60 that you can keep on using? No-brainer.

Why do I need this? 🤔

There's so much to love about the XSoul At-Home IPL Hair Removal device. For starters, it uses professional-grade IPL technology to break the cycle of hair regrowth in areas where you want permanent hair reduction. Use it on your legs, your armpits, any place you don't want excess hair.

Flip between five power levels (start at level one and work your way up) to get the oomph you're after. The handy plug-in device has an ergonomic design, so your hand won't cramp up while you get down to business. You can even choose between a continuously flashing auto mode for more precise areas like your bikini line, upper lip, chin, face and armpits, and a single-flash manual mode for larger swathes of skin, like on your back, chest, stomach, arms and legs.

What reviewers say 💬

The XSoul At-Home IPL Hair Removal device has plenty of fans — over 7,000 have given it very smooth five-star reviews.

Pros 👍

"It works unbelievably well," raved one shopper, who added: "I have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), so l have lots of unwanted dark facial hair (think upper lip, double chin, sideburns) that grows fast and shows so much against my light-colored skin ... the difference after two uses is huge!"

Another pleased customer shared: "I've tried laser hair removal, another IPL device and this one, and this is the first to actually work. Just be patient and follow the instructions ... I am no longer so self-conscious about my chin, and not having to shave my legs or underarms saves a ton of time in the shower — I no longer dread the one-hour shower ordeal."

A third fan wrote: "This thing works! I was skeptical but took a chance after reading the reviews. I have fair skin with dark hair. Normally, I always have stubble the day after shaving. I shaved right before, started on the higher level and did two passes on my legs, one at level four and one at level five. ... Three days later, though, still no sign of any stubble. It is SO worth every penny! I only wish I had tried this sooner!"

"This gadget brought my confidence back," shared a final five-star reviewer. "I’ve been using this product for five weeks now, and I cannot believe the amazing results. After having my five children. I experienced hair growth on my chin, and when I pluck them, they will leave dark spots and marks ... I started using this product and within a month, the hair growth stopped. I wish I'd found this product years ago. It is easy to use and it is very convenient."

Cons 👎

This customer had a couple of caveats: "It is a slow process (just like laser hair removal). And it seems to depend heavily on technique, meaning that, if it doesn't work for you, you are probably the problem. Either your skin/hair is the wrong color, or you're not using the IPL correctly."

Echoed another: "[It] works, but takes patience. You won't see results immediately. I just wish the active part of the device was larger so it didn't take the treatment so long." As with a lot of things, consistency seems to be the key here.
