Отзывы о Эпилятор Braun Silk-epil Beauty Set 5 5-875 Wet & Dry

My wife used it a few times and she finds this beauty set very usefull. This beauty set contains an epilator with shaving and trimming head, contact cups for precision, a facial cleanser with cleansing brush head, a pouch and an well described instruction manual. The quality and look of the epilator is amazing and it also comes in a very nice box so is perfect as a gift.

The epilator works very well on my wife's skin, I think this epilator is a bit painfull but my wife says it is normal for an epilator to be a bit painfull because the main purpose of epilator is to pull the hairs from skin. However my wife's find this epilator less painfull when used while shower or on wet surface. After using this epilator the skin feels smooth and silky and the result of this epilator is almost similar to waxing. Overall this epilator works phenomenally and is a good alternative of waxing.

The facial cleanser is also included in this set, and is very usefull to clean or exfoliate the skin to remove any dead skin cells. The Cleaner brush head is also very soft, gentle on skin and it makes the skin very soft and clean.

Overall the whole beauty set is very effective and usefull. The reason i gave 4 star because firstly, i think it is very expensive and secondly, it is a bit difficult to use this epilator on tricky areas like elbow

This review is for the Braun Silk-épil Beauty Set 5 5-875 Starter 4-in-1 Cordless Wet and Dry Hair Removal - Epilator, Shaver, Trimmer, Face Cleanser, White/Pink.

First off, if you’re not used to epilating, and/or think you have a low pain threshold, then don’t use an epilator as anything that pulls hair out of your body is going to be uncomfortable.

The facial brush is battery powered and uses a single AA battery, but it takes a while and makes me think it is underpowered. I also don’t think this gizmo is waterproof as the battery compartment isn’t sealed and looks to me as if it would leak water.

The epilator though is easy to use and is waterproof and you can use it in the bath and clean it in running water too. It also has a 2-pin charging cable that will plug into a shaving socket or an adaptor.

The kit comes with a nice draw-stringed carry bag with two compartments in it that divide the bag. Not sure what they’re meant to hold, so I’ve put the instructions and charging cable in one side and all of the kit in the other. It is a nice collection of kit with a handy carrying bag, and comes in a really nice box, but it’s really expensive and I don’t think it’s worth the almost £150 being asked for it.

You get two appliances - an epilator and a "face spa".

The epilator is very good. It includes rechargeable batteries, and can only be cordless. The booklet is 120 pages, of which only 6 pages are needed for English readers. It's slightly confusing in that you are told that when you are using on dry skin, there must be no grease present, yet when you are using it on wet skim, you must use a shower gel. They suggest that until you get used to the feeling of having hairs removed by the roots, you use the "beginner's head", once a week for four weeks, then continue with the full monty. In use, it is very effective, and not painful. I like the fact you can lock it off for travel, so it doesn't accidentally start whirring in your luggage.

The face spa, is basically a soft-headed rotating brush. In this case the manual is 55 pages, of which only 3 pages are needed for English readers. It works, but I'm not convinced of the benefits - especially when they recommend you buy new brushes every three months as they deform in use.

In summary, it's worth it for the epilalor, but the face spa seems an unnecessary extra.

As an avid user of epilators, I was keen to try out this Braun beauty set predominantly for the epilator to see how technology has improved over the years. I was pleased to say that this product has so far exceeded my expectations. I normally use an epilator for my armpits and bikini line after a warm bath or shower to open up the pores. In the past, I am often left with red, bumpy skin after use. I have also previously experienced in-grown hairs, which has caused me much frustration.

With the Braun epilator from this set, I experienced the complete opposite effect –the underlying skin remained my normal colour and I was left with silky smooth skin. I have also noticed that the hair that has grown back is much finer than normally. This might be down to the latest technology of the epilator that has advanced since I last purchased one of Braun’s earlier models; there is now SensoSmart technology which alerts the user if they are pressing down too hard with the epilator to their skin; something that I have found interesting and useful.

For me, the reason why I have given this set 4 star is because I feel the FaceSpa brush is more of a gimmick to embellish the set and it is not a product I would use in my daily cleansing routine. Having said that, the head was very soft and it did feel soothing when I used it on my face.

Provided with the set was a beautiful, high quality bag to place all the contents neatly within for safekeeping which finished off this set to an elite standard. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a top quality epilator with a matching finish.

For first time epilators, blimey it’s gonna hurt - but trust me, you quickly get so used to it you won’t bat an eyelash after a while. I’ve epilated for donkeys years, saved me a fortune in salon waxing (or the hassle of home waxing) and no more stubby hairs from shaving either. And yes, I epilate everywhere! Bit eye watering on more intimate areas initially but hey, no pain no gain. The effects last for weeks and even then the hair regrow is fine and silky.
I’ve always used Braun because other brands just don’t have the quality or longevity. This pack comes with literally everything you could need to have smooth, exfoliated and epilated skin and I couldn’t be happier. I use the whizzy brush thing on my legs (I admit I have a Clinique sonic brush for my face which I far prefer) as I always get dry skin and this really helps. And hooray for technology, you can use all the accessories wet or dry - sooo much easier in the shower.
Yes, this is an expensive set, there’s no denying it - but it will last you ages, Braun are great on customer service and it’ll save you a fortune on waxing, shaving, creams etc.

I like the idea of this. I’m not someone who waxes as I can’t really be bothered and tend to shave my legs. This is actually not that bad. I followed other reviewers advice and used this after a hot bath so my pores were open - actually didn’t hurt too much. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not as pain-free as shaving that’s for sure, but it’s not as horrific as waxing.

It comes with a mains plug that you plug into a razor socket so it’s two pin plug. Most bathrooms have the plugs but if you don’t you can buy an adapter easily enough.

It works well in terms of being a trimmer to and works really similarly to any hair trimmer you can buy but it’s nice to have the two functions in one device. It comes with a guard so you can have slightly longer hair too.

I’m not so sure about the facial brush which seems a little odd. It’s just a brush that spins around so not sold on that at all. Maybe I’m missing something there!

Cleaning is easy to and as it’s waterproof, it’s a doddle. I’ve just been running it under the tap after I use it which seems to work well. It comes with a carry bag too! A basic drawstring one which works fine.

This is a great little starter kit and comes with an Epilator and a Facial brush.

The Epilator is very good quality and can catch hairs as short as 0.5mm. I notice the results are a lot better than shaving. Using the Epilator for the first time was uncomfortable, however after a couple of uses it became less noticeable. The device is completely waterproof so you can use in the bath or shower and can even be used dry. The device takes around an hour to charge and lasts for 20 to 30mins. The epilator comes with a shaver head, which is also useful. Overall results last a pretty long time (1-2 weeks or so).

The FaceSpa brush is great for daily use and makeup removal, coming with a brush for sensitive skin, which I am using. Using this, I find I am less prone to breakouts and my skin does appears to be less dry than normal (which is good).
 
Overall a lovely kit and nice colours which make it generally an appealing set to use.

All the reviews mixed up on here for different versions of the Braun epilater. Also these products tend to get price reductions over time - so I am not going to get hung up on the current price - which is high compared to some of the other models after discount. That said I think considering you get the face cleanser brush (which runs on batteries - it is not rechargeable) as well as the epi - with various heads, is reasonable anyway.

As with all epi's - it takes a bit of getting used to. Some people seem to be fine with it - but I once tried it on myself - and it hurts a lot! But you can use this in the bath or shower - which helps a lot. You get upto 30 minutes use after a charge - which is probably all you would want to endure in one go. After that I am told the secret is to keep on top of it and that it gets easier the more you do it. Obviously it is potentially a lot cheaper than waxing and just as good.

This version works well and happy to recommend.

This is a good Epilator set but not a brilliant one
Ideal hair remover tool that comes with quite a few attachments
Included is the following 4-in-1 Epilator; 1 x Beginner Cap; 1 x Skin Contact Cap; 1 x Shaver & Trimmer Attachment
You can shave and trim with the shaver however it does get close but it is not smooth close
The Epilator is where you will get the smoothest results but at the slight cost of a little pain, you do get used to it, and the results are wonderfully smooth
The cleanser is a nice attachments to use and exfoliate skin
all of this can be used both wet and dry
This kit comes with everything you need, however the shaver it a little bit of a let down only slightly taking this from a 5 star to a 4 star
Very decent kit for anyone

This set covers pretty much all you will need for epilation, shaving and trimming and also includes a face cleanser. Cordless use of the rechargeable Silk-épil lasts up to 30 minutes and my experience was that the recharge is very fast, about an hour.

The epilator is really easy to use and is very effective. If you don't want to epilate sensitive areas of skin, the shave and trim attachments are also really easy to use.

You can use the Silk-épil in the bath or shower which also helps to reduce discomfort, particularly with epilation.

The face spa is an additional device that I found really easy and comfortable to use. It encourages blood flow and gently exfoliates dead skin.

Very nicely done by Braun at a fair asking price - Essentially 2 main components, a Silk-epil 5 to shave, trim and epilate plus a Face Spa sensitive electric brush. My twenty-something daughter is very pleased with this "gift" set, which also includes a hand pouch for storing the components when they're not being used. Includes a mains charger for the epilator and a single AA battery for the Spa brush - maybe going forwards, Braun and other manufacturers might consider a universal, Type C, charging solution? More luxurious packaging might lift the dull presentation?

Review from sister:

This set is brilliant, I’ve not used anything like it before. I’ve seen them but always though, don’t want to spend so much money incase they turn out rubbish. WOW, I can tell why there’s a price tag now! The epilator slightly hurts when you use, but my gosh it collects every single hair! There is also the shaver which has multiple heads. These allowing you to completely relive yourself of hair, or allow certain areas to retain a little bit or a lot of wanted. It’s literally an all round kit, fit for every single person!
I love it ! Gone will my standard razor be !

Yes, epilating generally always hurts, less so the more you do it but I guess your body just gets used to it. The kit comes with a couple of different attachments and also a powered cleaning brush (this however I've never either used correctly or I just find it a waste of time!), the Silk Epil range is a good product no matter which one of the range you opt for. Good battery life, less noisy than other brands and pretty efficient at what it does. Also, I find these don't get as clogged up requiring less brushing after use.

This set has all you need for keeping your body hair trim and tidy.
The shave works well in dry and wet. My wife prefers to use it wet.
The epilator makes her skin silky smooth
Good value for money. Great all round set.

This starter set has been ideal for my teenage daughter and she is particularly delighted with the epilator. According to her, it’s less sore than other epilators she’s used to date, so she’ll definitely be getting more use out of it in the future.

Also included in the set are a shaver, trimmer and face cleanser, so the set represents great value for anyone looking for all (or most) of these items, especially when one considers that it comes from a quality brand such as Braun.

First of all, the device fits its purpose so well. The various attachments are very useful. The noise level is also fine and not too loud.
The use of the epilator in the shower is a decisive advantage over other devices.
Cons:
the price is very high. The battery could be a little better and last longer. The epilator attachment could be more precise and stammer sit on the device.
Exceptionally well made as it should be for the hefty price tag

I am a lazy person, I want everything to be easy and smoth ... And an eu plugin does not help me in uk ....
But I will go over it because the device quickly recharges and I can use it twice with a charge ...
And the epilator is also pretty quick to remove hair: I don't have to go through it and go over it again and again ...
The brush is so soft !!! And it's also good ...
The sheaver is not so good.. for what it costs I expected more ...

Epilators. You either tolerate them or hate them....

This one from Braun is the most tolerable yet. Quick to charge, lasts a good while and is effective.

The shaving attachment is not so great but does the job.

The exfoliator is good, really scrubs skin and leaves it feeling fresh and clean.

Overall and effective and good value kit

My teenage daughter was really happy with this set.

The hair remover can be used dry or wet which is good depending on how much time you have.

The cleanser works well and leaves her face nice and clean and fresh. Much nicer than scrubs.

It's quite expensive for the set but they are good products.

Battery life is enough to remove hair from both legs, very good price , easy to use and easy to charge

This is a great, all round kit, with everything you need for hair removal and cleansing. I found it very easy to understand how to use, and extremely straightforward to use and charge.

The only reason I knocked off one star is that, for this price, I think the cleanser wand should really have a vibrating timer, to aid with getting correct treatment for each section of your face.

That aside, this is a really attractive, and sturdy kit. Built to last, and worth the money.

I've given this product a good few months of use and I'm still not completely converted to using the epilator. I find it takes a lot of work to get your legs hair free using it, and even then it still feels like I've got stubbly legs. I haven't managed to use it under my arms as it's super painful.

The second attachment used for trimming is much better and I find that the thing I'm more likely to use frequently. I definitely love that it's chargeable and you can use it dry or wet.

I would say that the epilator itself is a good starter option if you've never used one before, as it comes with a "training" attachment that allows you to get used to its effects. It's not overly painful to use anyway, but I've found myself going back to shaving.
