Items for Ingrown Hair Treatment and Prevention: Because I have thick, coarse hair and like a soft, smooth shave, I can say for sure that I know what ingrown hair is. I’ve been able to figure out what works to soothe, treat, and avoid bothersome ingrown hairs over the years thanks to my job as a beauty editor, where I spend my days messaging dermatologists and trying everything.
It looks like ingrown hairs are easy to treat. Together, alpha-hydroxy acids and pumice will exfoliate your skin, benzoyl peroxide and cajeput will kill germs, and niacinamide and green tea extract will soothe your skin. The hard part is figuring out which goods really work by looking at their formulas and concentrations. We’ve already done the hard work for you, though.
