Following the lead by Jergens and their subsidiary Biore, Curel has come out with a shave minimizing lotion for legs. They claim:
"Within four to eight weeks of daily use, the appearance of hair will be visibly reduced, so you can shave less frequently. "
As with the Jergens, this contains a small amount of sodium hydroxide, which can dissolve or soften hair.

I have tried all 3 of these products Andrea, and they dont seem to work for me. I tried the Jergens for about 3 months…nothing happened, on my 3rd bottel of the Curel, still on the first bottle of Biore…nothing seems to be happening yet.
Carrie, sorry it hasn’t lived up to the hype. 
I’ve always suspected a bit of overpromise here. While some consumers have found it to be a good moisturizure, and a few have reported reductions in time spoent shaving and time between shaving, I think their marketing has been a bit on the aggressive side.
