What the gurus are saying
This product earns consistent caution from gurus who tried it. One experienced severe reactions including fever and full-body burning sensation after application and washing, while others flagged safety concerns about using the leg formula on sensitive areas like the face or bikini line. Gurus also noted the product size shrank from 9 oz to 7.9 oz without a price drop, so patch-testing first on a small area is worth doing if you decide to try it.
