10 Best Hair Removal Creams for Men UK 2024 | Veet, Nair and More

One of the most highly rated men's hair removal creams on the market, we’ve chosen Nad's offering as our top pick for all your depilatory needs! It's powerful enough to dissolve coarse and thick hair, yet gentle enough for even sensitive skin, with a formulation that includes aloe vera. And it works in under 4 minutes – what more could you want?

Be warned, though, this is as effective as it is because it is somewhat potent! To avoid any unwanted side effects, always follow the instructions prior to usage and never exceed the maximum application time limit. 

If you’ve got a lot of surface area to cover, or you're a frequent user, you’ll find yourself burning through 150 ml tubes quicker than you'd like. Luckily, Veet Men’s Sensitive Hair Removal Cream comes in a generously-sized 400 ml pump bottle to save you a bit of cash.

Suitable for use on most parts of the body, the sensitive formulation has been designed to be less irritating. So if you find other similar creams a bit too harsh, you may want to give this one a try instead.

We would be remiss not to include a cream that’s suitable for use on your privates. So if you’re going to do it anyway, we might as well recommend one that’s both safe and effective!

NO HAIR CREW’s Intimate Hair Removal Cream is formulated to dissolve away thicker and denser hairs in only 3 minutes, without any burning or irritation, and comes highly recommended by many reviewers. As with all creams on the list, we highly advise doing a patch test before slathering it on, just in case.

Nair for Men’s Hair Remover Body Cream is our top choice for when you’re in a hurry. Only got five minutes before your Tinder date? Left it last minute before hitting the beach? Or just simply don’t want to wait around all day? 

This hair removal cream works in under 60 seconds for almost instant results! Better yet, it comes in a nice big bottle with a pump spout for quick and easy application when you need it.

For those of us with a lot of thick, dark body hair, when left untamed we can easily start to feel less rugged and manly and more like an extra from Planet of the Apes. Frustratingly, when it comes to particularly hairy guys, many creams on the market just don’t cut it!

Before you give up on hair removal creams entirely, give NO HAIR CREW’s Premium Body Hair Removal Cream a go. Unlike some other creams, it’s specifically developed to remove dark and coarse male body hair and, best of all, it only takes 5 minutes per application!

Yes, we realise this is technically a ladies hair removal cream. But, pink packaging aside, if you’re looking to remove hair from sensitive areas of the body we highly recommend Veet’s BodyCurv Bikini and Underarm Hair Removal Cream.

Think about it, if it’s gentle enough to use on women's bikini lines it’s fairly safe to say you can use it down there too, especially as there's soothing aloe vera and vitamin e added in. Equally, if you're looking to remove underarm hair, it comes with a curved spatula to help you get every last bit!

Guys that like to go bare will know those certain awkward areas that make hair removal a chore – we're talking forearms, knuckles, feet and underarms. These hairs tend to be long, straggly and a real nuisance to get rid of.

If you do have particularly stubborn hairs, pick up a tube of Nair’s Tough Hair Removal Cream. Designed to break down even the most wiry strands, you can leave it on for a maximum of 15 minutes to totally obliterate scruffy stray hairs!

This hair removal cream for men comes from Italian brand Collistar. Although not the most readily available in the UK, it’s one of the most moisturising hair removal creams on the list, containing natural emollient ingredients such as jojoba oil, beeswax and mallow extract.

You can use it on most areas of the body, just apply using the spatula that comes included, wait 4-6 minutes and wash away with warm water. Plus it comes in stylish black packaging that wouldn’t look out of place next to a Versace wash bag.

Even with a standard hair removal cream, trying to get a good coating on certain hard-to-reach areas can be a nightmare. If you’d rather not ask someone else to do it for you, you might want to try Veet's hair removal spray instead.

The pressurised can allows for “no-touch” application, making it ideal for awkward areas such as the back and shoulders. Just be sure to take care during the application stage, and coat the skin as evenly as possible to prevent patchiness that may well occur. 

Veet Men’s In Shower Hair Removal Cream is a good option for any lads looking to get rid of unwanted chest hair. It’s one of the less pungent creams on the list and works quickly and reliably in under 6 minutes.

Unfortunately, the sponge applicator somewhat lets this product down. Essentially a kitchen scourer pad, the smooth side makes application unnecessarily tricky and the remover is a bit too rough and scratchy. We recommend foregoing it entirely and using a damp washcloth instead.
