Description
A crystal hair eraser removes body hair by fine abrasion - you rub it over the skin in small circles and the hair is worn away at the surface. This one measures 105 x 60 x 35mm, weighs 110g, and costs $17.99 with nothing to replace or refill. There is no blade, no wax and no battery.
It is worth understanding what this is before you buy, because the marketing around this whole product category tends to be vague. The working surface is a fine abrasive, closer to very fine sandpaper than to a razor. Rubbing it in circles wears the hair down at skin level and takes off dead surface skin at the same time, which is why skin feels smooth afterwards. That mechanism is also exactly why it does not suit everyone or every part of the body - abrasion is abrasion, and skin varies.

Why Choose a Crystal Hair Eraser
-

-
No cuts - there is no cutting edge anywhere on the tool.
-
Exfoliates as it works - it lifts dead surface skin at the same time as the hair.
-
Small enough to travel - at 105 x 60 x 35mm it takes almost no room in a bag.
-
No heat, no cords, no mess - nothing to set up and nothing to clean afterwards.
Who Should Not Use One?
This matters more than any feature. An abrasive tool is not suitable for everyone, despite what these products are usually claimed to be. Do not use it on broken, irritated, sunburnt or inflamed skin, over moles, skin tags, warts or varicose veins, on the face, or on any area with a skin condition such as eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis. If you have sensitive skin, are prone to pigmentation changes, or take medication that thins the skin or increases sun sensitivity, check with a pharmacist or doctor first. Always test a small patch and wait a day before doing a larger area.
How Do You Use It Without Irritating Your Skin?
Clean, dry skin and light pressure. Rub in small circles rather than long scrubbing strokes, and stop as soon as the hair is gone rather than continuing over the same patch. Pressing harder does not remove more hair, it just removes more skin. Rinse and moisturise afterwards, and avoid sun exposure on the treated area for the rest of the day since freshly exfoliated skin burns more easily. If the skin goes red and stays red, you have used it too hard or too long.
How Does It Compare to Shaving or Waxing?
Shaving is faster over large areas and cuts hair flush, but carries the risk of nicks and can cause ingrown hairs. Waxing pulls hair from the root so regrowth takes longer, but it hurts and needs a certain length of hair to grip. Abrasion sits between the two: painless for most people, no cuts, no waiting for regrowth to reach a usable length - but slower over large areas like legs, and it takes hair off at the surface rather than the root, so regrowth is comparable to shaving. It suits arms, small patches and touch ups better than a whole-leg session.
Buyers are people who react badly to razors, anyone who finds waxing too painful, travellers who do not want a razor in hand luggage, and people looking for something with no ongoing cost. It also sells as a small gift.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it hurt?
Most people find it comfortable with light pressure, but it is an abrasive tool and it can irritate sensitive skin. Test a small area first rather than assuming.
What size is it?
105 x 60 x 35mm, weighing 110g.
Can I use it on my face?
No. This is a body tool and facial skin is far thinner.
How long does it last?
The manufacturer does not state a lifespan. Replace it when the abrasive surface stops working effectively.
Does the hair grow back slower?
It removes hair at the surface rather than the root, so expect regrowth broadly comparable to shaving. We make no claim about reduced regrowth.
How do I clean it?
Rinse the working surface under water and let it dry fully before storing.
Do you ship Australia wide?
Yes, to every state and territory including regional and remote addresses.

This is a cosmetic tool that works by abrasion. It is NOT suitable for all skin types, despite what such products are commonly claimed to be. Do not use on the face, on broken, irritated, inflamed or sunburnt skin, over moles, skin tags or varicose veins, or on any area affected by a skin condition. Always patch test first. Stop immediately if the skin becomes red, sore or irritated, and speak to a pharmacist or doctor if you are unsure. We make no claim about skin tone, pigmentation or regrowth rate.
