It actually shocked me how quickly I saw results.
Even when I trim it really low quite often, I’ll experience razor bumps.
Recently, on TikTok, I’ve been seeing people rave aboutTopicals High Roller Ingrown Hair Tonic.
The directions simply say “Roll onto clean, dry, affected area.”
Its active ingredients are salicylic acid, glycolic acid, niacinamide, and zinc PCA.
Of course, I had to try this product for myself.
FIRST SHAVE: To start, I washed my face and exfoliated the beard area.
After I dried my face, I shaved.
This was my face afterward.
Smooth and ready for the tonic.
This was how my skin was doing one day after that first shave.
No bumps or inflammation yet.
The next day, the bump decreased in size and was no longer noticeable.
That area of my face stayed clear for the three days after that second shave.
On the fourth day after, I noticed another bump.
I applied the tonic to those areas as well as the rest of the freshly shaved area.
To learn more about ingrown hairs and how to avoid them, I spoke withDr.
Ife Rodney, a board-certified dermatologist and founding director ofEternal Dermatology + Aestheticsin Fulton, MD.
According to her, glycolic acid is also great for brightening up dark spots and skin discoloration.
She also mentioned that zinc could help with inflammation and skin irritation.
