Razor bumps can irritate your skin after many types of hair removal, such as waxing, tweezing, shaving or using depilatories. They occur when a new hair tries to emerge from your skin, but curves back on itself and gets trapped under the skin's surface, causing an inflamed bump. Products exist that can help you treat and prevent razor bumps, as well as lessen the irritation caused by hair removal.

The product also claims to ease the pain and skin redness that hair removal can cause, and it promises to both treat and help prevent razor bumps from occurring. You should apply it after hair removal, then once a day to continue keeping razor bumps at bay.
