Dealing with unwanted body hair can be a hassle, right? You might find yourself waxing or shaving regularly, but it never feels like enough. That's why some folks are turning to intense pulse light (IPL) hair removal. It zaps away those pesky hairs for good, saving you time, money and frustration. While you could head to a salon for this treatment, it can get pretty pricey — hundreds of dollars per session. So here's a thriftier option: The popular XSoul At-Home IPL Hair Removal Device is down to $54 — a discount of over 70%.
These leggings are so comfy that this just might be the year you look forward to working out.
"I've tried a lot of eye creams," says Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini. "And, for my money, CeraVe makes the best drugstore depuffing/under-eye brightening treatment currently on the market. Not only does it feel good on your skin (absorbs quickly, no gross pilling), it's also fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. Olivia Wilde loves it, along with thousands of reviewers, who say it's like Botox in a cream. I'm not sure about that claim, but I do know this is a quality skin care staple at a price everyone can afford."
At over 40% off, it's within a dollar of its best price all year.

If you're feeling self-conscious about stubble (or just hate to wax and shave) this at-home laser-hair-removal device just might be for you and now's the time to pick it up: For Labor Day, it's marked down a whopping 70%: from $200 to just $60.
"This gadget brought my confidence back," shared one five-star reviewer. "I've been using this product for five weeks now, and I cannot believe the amazing results. After having my five children, I experienced hair growth on my chin, and when I pluck them, they will leave dark spots and marks ... I started using this product and within a month, the hair growth stopped. I wish I'd found this product years ago. It is easy to use and it is very convenient."
An average IPL session costs anywhere from $700 to over $1,000, depending on where you live and whether you can use insurance. That's not chump change, especially when it's not a one-and-done thing. So a top-rated at-home device for only 54 bucks? No-brainer. Plus, the savings of over 70% make this by far the lowest price we've ever seen on this handy device.
The hair remover uses professional-grade IPL technology to zap hair and break the cycle of regrowth. Use it on your legs, your armpits ... any place, really. Flip between five power levels (start at level one and work your way up) to get the removal oomph you're after. The XSoul is also easy to grip — your hand won't cramp up while you get down to business.
You can choose between a continuously flashing auto mode for spots like your bikini line, upper lip, chin, face and armpits, or a single-flash manual mode for more sparsely hairy areas like your back, chest, stomach, arms and legs. According to the brand, hairs then "naturally fall out" in anywhere from a few days to two weeks.
The XSoul At-Home IPL Hair Removal Device has more than 7,600 five-star fans who say it leaves 'em smooth and stubble-free.
"It works unbelievably well," raved one shopper. They added: "I have PCOS, so l have lots of unwanted dark facial hair (think upper lip, double chin, sideburns) that grows fast and shows so much against my light-colored skin...the difference after two uses is huge!"
Another customer shared: "I've tried laser hair removal, another IPL device, and this one, and this is the first one to actually work. Just be patient and follow the instructions. I am no longer so self-conscious about my chin and not having to shave my legs or underarms saves a ton of time in the shower — I no longer dread the one-hour shower ordeal."
A third fan called it a "great hair remover" before adding, "I have been using this product for a few weeks on my face and I have been very happy with it. I have had professional hair removal done in the past, so I have a basis for comparison. This at-home version works really well at a fraction of the cost."
Depending on how much skin you want to cover, your IPL session might not be super-quick. "Actually works! But time-consuming," this reviewer said. "The one downside is it takes a while to do everything — for me, it was 45 to 50 minutes for lower legs, armpits and bikini line."
Other shoppers caution that the shades are necessary since the light is very bright. "The flash IS very bright," revealed this user. "You'll want to wear the glasses it comes with and probably close your eyes while the flash goes off."
