So I finally got the product in, packaging already worries me, it’s in like little plastic bags… but going to try it out today and see what happens, hopefully I get to keep all body parts without them burning off or something. I’ll keep you updated
Good luck my dear, make sure you spot test it!
Just as a side note for the Puffo lot: I thought you didn’t ask customers to write testimonials…
“Anyone heard of it? or tried em?”
Why would your “marketing” personel ask this question for any other reason? Sounds like you might already be going back on your word. UNLESS of course you were ‘spamming up’ a public hair removal forum.

Hey all,
I recently tried this product and told myself that good or bad, I’d give my opinion on this thread.
First, I am a male and wanted to try it on my chest hair. Second, I used it mostly as instructed–I waxed twice (once before using Puff-It, and once after the first month) and applied it almost everyday following a shower. I did not, however, apply it twice a day as I think they recommend.
In the end, the product did not work for me. My hair appears to have grown back as normal. Nevertheless, when I requested my refund, they did respond to me almost immediately and I received my money back (minus $15 shipping), hassle-free, two weeks later. The only caveat is to keep careful track of the time period in which they allow you request the refund; it’s a bit tricky.
Still, based on the fact that I got my money back with no questions asked leads me to believe that this is not a scam, as many in here believe. True, it didn’t work for me, but in the end I only lost the shipping costs. Doesn’t appear to be much to lose by trying it.
It sounds like a money-grabbing scheme. If you wax and don’t do anything, the hair won’t grow back for 4-6 weeks too. Without applying any expensive junk on it.
Does anyone really believe it costs $15 to ship and handle a less than one pound container of cosmetic cream?
In the US, one would pay no more than $5 for priority shipping of a one pound product, and the product and packaging could not cost more than $5, but more likely $1 - $2, leaving a profit of $5 to $9 even on the product “refund”.
Neat Huh?
As it’s shipped from Indonesia (as is clearly evidenced from the envelope), I think it’s quite probable that shipping costs are considerable.
I swear never have I heard such a bunch of bloody cynical moaning gripers in my life!
I wouldn’t mind if this was $500!
You have seen that they refund???
Just because it’s not recognised by all the official bodies in the U.S and Europe DOESNT mean it doesn’t work.
There are PLENTY of things the governments and official bodies refuse to recognise (because it would be in direct competition to oh I don’t know…people who charge $500 for electrolysis?) that DO work.
Natural ingredients that cant be “prescribed” or that some drug company would profit from will not be recognised…its not rocket science
Those people here who appear to be the most aggressive against this powder are people who make a living from hair removal…ya don’t think they have a personal and financial reason for wanting to “poo poo” anything that might one day take away their expensive service?? Not being “biased”?
I have this powder and I haven’t stuck to the daily thing gave up once… But it doesn’t burn… and I “think” its working…seems to be less hairs growing back each morning when I wake up.
But again its too soon so say for sure
I am passed the 2 or 3 month refund phase for my own fault…but even if it doesn’t work…its worth trying for such a small amount of money…
Who discovered the Opium poppy?? Which is now used as THE main pain killer (chemical version)
Most the official medications and topic applications derived from life’s natural ingredients. Why should THIS be any different??
The ONLY thing I would be cautious about is the fact it hasn’t been tested and there for like anything it’s always a risk but you know benzodiazepines were tested and considered “safe”
And there are thousands of new addictions each year which has ruined lives…mine included…
It took the official bodies 40 years to eventually instruct doctors not to prescribe for longer than 4 weeks.
You know the saying “if you have nothing good to say, say nothing?"
ESPECIALLY if you haven’t seen touched or tried it or even know someone who has.
If you have no 1st hand experience…stop bad mouthing something just because it’s possibly in direct competition with “your” services and products.

This concerns your reference to electrolysis.
When you think about it, electrolysis really doesn’t have any competition, so we are fearless about all concept’s like Puff-It that may put us out of business. Words of caution do not always mean we are protecting our money source. Just the act of performing electrolysis is protection enough. Electrolysis simply works when applied correctly using fundamental principles of science, along with modern epilators and vision wear. Electrolysis has been and still is the only method that will remove every hair structure of any color on every skin color - PERMANENTLY. Until it isn’t, we say so with fearless honestly that is non-territorial.
With a slight, prophetic smile on my face, I always supportively tell the hairy that they are welcomed to try any product or proceedure they want because I know that they will eventually come full circle and they will be laying on my table in the future, ready to get down to business in a meaningful way.
No need to get upset, Liz. Some things can be predicted and you just need to let it play out and settle where it may. Some things do not have a money motive.
The people who know me are actually laughing right now. I am the first person to say that certifications and officially recognized things are not necessarily the best thing for what you are looking to do.
Valtrex for the rest of your life to treat herpes, or a month or three of 3,000 mg of Lysine Red Algea, Larrea, and topical Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and Tea Tree Oil on outbreaks?
Chemotherepy or Nitrilocides and Pancreatic enzymes for cancer?
Prozac for the rest of your life or temporary use of Vitamin B-12, Amino Acid Complex & an exercise program with both strength training and cardio for clinical depression?
As much as one might want to say that we credentialed professionals here are just protecting our income stream, we are in fact looking at this as people who have actually researched hair removal to find out what all the possible ways to do it might be.
Don’t kid yourself. If some topical cream could get the results we manage without taking all the time we put into what we do, we would be the first to offer the service. Here in the United States there are lots of women who pay hundreds of dollars to have people cook things up from the produce section and slather it on their bodies and wash it off later. The places that do this are called spas and they make lots and lots of money.
I will give you one thing, however, I have not personally used this product, but color me like the auto mechanic who hears about a customer buying a product called “engine and transmission rebuild in a bottle” – it just can’t work, because there is nothing that could do that from that delivery system.
I just read this on another forum that was sent to my e-mail address (Jennifer Clifton’s site?) in the United Kingdom:
[b]"Hello ladies! My name is Fryda, and I’m new to the forum. I’ve gotten a
series of electrolisis treatments back in Southern California, and it
was amazing. I LOVE LOVE my electrologist back at home. However, I’ve
been living in France for the past 10 months and about to move to
Turkey in a week. Does anyone know how I can access a list of certified
electrologists in France and Turkey? I find it very strange that no one
in France has ever heard of the treatment and none of the beauticians
have been able to point me into the right direction.
I tried accessing the International Guild of Hair Removal Specialists
but the website is down or no longer exist.
[ighrs dot org] (broke link to dead site - Andrea)
Please, please help. I’ve been having to wax my facial problem areas
and is starting to dry up my skin.
I can’t believe my electrologist is what I missed the most from CA,
after my family, of course!!
Thank you so much!!!"[/b]
Imagine having a proceedure that really works and then having consumers so frustrated that they can’t duplicate or continue with what they had when they leave their community.
Can anyone offer her some help?

Funny thing you bring up France. It was licensing and overcertification that killed electrolysis in France. Only doctors and electrolysis certified professionals working under a doctor, directly in the doctor’s physical office, with the doctor on site are allowed to legally perform electrolysis in France. This means, one is either paying doctor’s prices to see one, or one is connected enough to find someone through the underground providing the service outside a doctor’s office.
Sad state of affairs, but doctors can’t find people who can do it well, who are willing to accept the pay they offer, and those willingto accept the pay the doctor is willing to offer usually can’t grasp the learning to do it well, or if they do, it is not long before they figure out the math that says they could make more money doing less work from their secret location in a rented flat across town.
I wish her luck
their ebay ID is permanent_hair_removal.
their out of east java, indonesia. with S+H its $36 US dollars
must work like veet or nair but in an all natural way.
i wonder if its a homeopathic form of animal venom.
something like that could be absorbed by the follicle down to the root, destroying it permanently
The only way I know that anything could cause permanent hair removal is by causing scar tissue to develope in the follicle. IF there were a way to rub on a cream that would cause scar tissue in the follicle to build up such that the hair stopped growing, what would stop it from causing keloiding, or fibroids, or growths similar to HPV?
Hmmmm, now there is an idea. Human Papaloma Virus would have that possibility, now that I think about it!
Battery acid would do it… :crazy:
Ah, but battery acid would require the addition of expensive “emollients” to soften the action of the acids.
[size:20pt]Its a scam[/size], I bought it and it didnt work. I wasted money and time with this junk. I contacted them to claim my money back. But they said “no” because it was over 90 days, and claim must be made 14 days before the 90 day period. If they were so ethical, they would have refunded my money. Some of you might say well its my fault, I should have read the gurantee terms before I bought it, yes you are right! But this is how the scam works, they know that many people will not claim exactly 14 days before the 90 days period. And that my friend is how the scam works, pretty clever I say.
The product itselfs smells like baby powder, without a doubt I am sure that this is what they are selling to us or something similar. Look at their site its doesnt even have the ingredients.
And do not belive the testimonial on their site… that can easily be donem by anyone, if you require an example I can do it myself, all you require is paint.

Well, said from the consumer-side of things. We waste so much time her trying to explain what actually works and what works to only take your money and precious time and leave you without results. Your post means more than any post written above.
Thanks
For lots of scam products the goal is to get you to wait more than 60 days before requesting a refund, as this would put you outside of the refund policy on your credit card. We have shared this information here before, but people still accuse us of being, what was it that “RoseEnglish” called us… “bloody cynical moaning gripers.” I wonder if we will ever hear another post out of RoseEnglish. 
Thank god i found this forum,
this PUFF-IT powder very popular in indonesia, most people saying it’s work, but i love my skin too much and so paranoid when seeing a product that i don’t recognize ( popular )
It’s weird when seeing their package, poor logo and package design also, looks like they made it up using newbie designer service, and the most important is disclose composition, but funny thing we are indonesian (most of it) not so concern with what is the composition of each product, most of us care about what the result of the product, not just PUFF-IT powder but hundreds of face/body care like this works here, They packed it in poor package, wrote a very nice testimonial and feature of the product and voila if lucky it will hit the market.
I’ve seen my friend using a series of whitening set ( that i don’t have any idea whatever inside the pouch ), they will look amazing in the first month but have to pay more when the skin irritated,burn or dramatically damaged.
I thing i will recommended this forum for everyone before buying product especially hair related
