Why Truth Serum is the gentle choice for ingrown hairs

If your skin turns red, bumpy, or irritated after waxing or shaving, or you want an ingrown hair serum without acids, this is the one to reach for. A few sprays right after your service, then once or twice a day between appointments, keep your skin calm, hydrated, and smooth and help keep ingrown hairs from forming. It was created by Tawnya Fornerod, a licensed esthetician with almost 25 years in the beauty industry.

What is in Truth Serum

Truth Serum is built on botanicals. Witch hazel calms the skin, golden chamomile soothes the look of redness, purslane, aloe, and panthenol hydrate, and allantoin keeps skin comfortable after hair removal. It contains no salicylic, glycolic, or lactic acid, no parabens, and no added fragrance, and every ingredient is listed on this page.

Ingrown hairs form when a hair curls back or grows sideways under the skin, usually because the follicle is irritated or blocked. Truth Serum calms the skin right after hair removal and keeps the follicle comfortable and clear between appointments, so hair has an easier path to the surface. Used every day, it helps keep ingrown hairs and bumps from forming.

Truth Serum is acid free and built on botanicals, made for sensitive skin, facial waxing, and pregnancy. Smooth Operator uses salicylic, glycolic, and lactic acids and is the stronger choice for stubborn ingrowns. Both go on right after a service and both are step two of the same routine, so pick the one that suits your skin, or keep both and use Truth Serum on your face and Smooth Operator on your body.

Yes, Truth Serum is the ingrown hair serum we recommend during pregnancy and nursing, because it contains no salicylic, glycolic, or lactic acid and no added fragrance. It calms and hydrates with witch hazel, golden chamomile, purslane, and aloe, so you can keep up your aftercare routine without acids. If you have specific concerns, check with your doctor before adding any new product to your routine.

Yes. It was made with sensitive and reactive skin in mind, with no exfoliating acids and a base of witch hazel, golden chamomile, purslane, and aloe to calm and hydrate. If your skin is very reactive, patch test a small area first.

Yes, witch hazel is one of the most comforting things you can put on skin after waxing, which is why it leads the botanical blend in Truth Serum. It calms the skin and soothes the look of redness, while golden chamomile, purslane, and aloe add hydration, so freshly waxed skin feels comfortable without any exfoliating acids. Spray it on right after your service and use it once or twice a day between appointments to help keep the follicle calm and clear.
