Jolen Creme Bleach Original Formula - Gentle Hair Lightener for Face & Body
Jolen does not remove hair, it lightens it, which is a different answer to the same problem. Dark hair on the upper lip, chin or arms goes pale enough to disappear against the skin, and nothing has been pulled out or scraped off to get there.
The Original Formula has been on shelves for over fifty years and works in five to ten minutes. It comes as an at-home kit, mixed and applied to the area, left to develop, then wiped away.
- Lightens facial hair on the upper lip, chin and jaw
- Works on arms and legs as well
- Five to ten minutes of processing time
- No pulling, no scraping and no regrowth stubble
Test on a small patch first, particularly on the face, and follow the timings on the pack rather than leaving it longer for a stronger result. For anyone who would rather blend dark hair away than pull it out.

Application tips
Patch test first, twenty-four hours ahead, on a small area of the inner arm. Skipping that step is how people find out the hard way.
Mix the cream and the accelerator in the tray until the colour is even, spread a thin layer over dry, clean skin and start a timer. Check the shade at five minutes. Wipe off with a damp flannel, rinse with cool water and skip any acid or exfoliant on that skin for a day.
Results
Dark hair loses its colour and stops reading against the skin. From a normal conversational distance the fuzz on an upper lip simply disappears.
Because nothing is removed, there is no stubble stage and no ingrown hairs on the way back. New growth comes in at its natural colour, so the lightened section keeps its finish until it grows out or gets treated again. On arms, the effect is a general softening of contrast rather than bare skin.
