Not only that, the three minute stuff contains super strong chemical ingredients.  When they say not to leave it on for more than eight minutes, they&#8217;re serious!  I only had it on for like five minutes (I left it on longer because the hairs wouldn&#8217;t scrape off) but it ate away at my skin.
