What is shower cream? And how does it work?

So, what is shower cream, exactly? Hair removal cream (A.K.A depilatory cream) removes hair on the surface of the skin. This cream is applied to the body and left to sit until the hair breaks down and becomes a jelly-like consistency you can wipe and wash off.

In-shower hair removal creams work close to the root, weakening the hair follicle and breaking it down so the hair can be removed completely. Because of this, depilatory creams will give you better, longer-lasting results.
