Too soon to tell yet, as i just started 9 days ago with a test area, but so far so good. I love the smooth skin. There are little bumps where the follicle remains. I never got any ingrown hairs or infections. Some people worry too much.

This seems like it might work. Though most places I have found on-line say that the hydrogen peroxide will just disinfect the area, it won't kill the root. I am interested in knowing if you have found some source that says that it kills the root or if your own experience is that the hair doesn't come back.
There should be a study done comparing that to witch hazel, bleach, Veet, or kerosene
to chemically 'burn' the hair follicle after tweezing. There doesn't seem to be much research done on the natural home remedies because there is no money to be made and will negatively effect the hair removal businesses.
And I found this article that backs up the original premise that tweezing will reduce hairs. I'll have to try it to believe it, but I have noticed that the hair in between my eyebrows has reduced by a lot just by tweezing.
