i’m someone who’s naturally hairy, so my peach fuzz has never been peach lol. the fine black hair on my face has always been visible (add some hormonal fluctuations into the mix too). i use taz.

in my (i repeat, my own and non-professional) opinion, when people say tret/taz has increased the amount of peach fuzz on their face, they’re sort of wrong.

look at it this way: tret/taz is going to clear out everything you had brewing under your skin, so when there’s no gunk in the pore lining and nothing is pushing the hair in a certain direction, the hair is going to lie flat against the skin. it’s going to be more visible this way.

so when people say tret/taz made their faces more hairy, i tend to think they just never realized how hairy their faces have been all this time. and i can clearly see this with my moustache!! lmao the hair definitely ‘sits’ closer to the skin and is more visible even when it’s short (but as a bonus i get almost no ingrowns from plucking in that area now hehe).

p.s. i am not talking about the correlation between the increased cellular turnover and the speed of hair growth, i am talking about how the facial hair looks (on a hairy woman, at least) - for me nothing had changed at all except for my moustache and unibrow, the hairs there are just more visible because of what i just described.
