The 10 Best Epilators of 2024 (2024)

• Beauty

This epilator is not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for a device that takes the thinking out of hair removal, this one's for you. The head of the epilator (where the tweezers are placed) is wider than other devices. This means you're covering more surface area with each pass. To make it even easier to use, the tweezers are wider, longer, and deeper to reach those short, stubby strands and there are two different speed settings. The epilator can also be used wet or dry so you can easily handle it in the shower or bath for a more comfortable process. But the best and most exciting part about this epilator is all the extras. You'll get a shaver head (just in case), a trimmer, a massager, and two exfoliating brushes, so you can swap the head of your epilator whenever you please.

Speed Settings: 2 | Type: Corded | Run Time: 50 minutes

So, you're not sure if you want to truly commit to epilating and investing in an expensive device. No problem. This wallet-friendly epilator delivers all the essentials without breaking the bank. It removes hair with 40 tweezers at a time, at two different speeds, and is able to be used on wet or dry skin. The head of the epilator pivots as you move so it stays close to the skin to avoid that hair-yanking feeling we're all trying to avoid. And if your skin needs some relief post-epilation, attach the massaging cap infused with aloe vera to soothe and calm redness. But rest assured, redness is completely normal and nothing to worry about.

If you're willing to splurge a little for luxuriously smooth, hairless skin, this 3-in-1 device has your name on it. It features three interchangeable heads, so you can easily switch between a razor, a trimmer, and an epilator. Plus, it includes an exfoliating brush head to make your skin even softer. We're especially fans of the epilator head as it is the world's first fully flexible head and it will effortlessly adapt to the contours of your body. The device also uses the brand's signature SensoSmart technology, which prevents you from pushing too hard or applying too much pressure. It has two different speeds, an anti-slip handle, and built-in smart light to reveal the finest of hairs. The high-tech features and versatility make it definitely worth the price tag.

When it comes to facial hair removal, you need something gentle that won't irritate or inflame the skin. While not technically an epilator, this handy little tool mimics the process of threading and grabs even the tiniest peach-fuzz hairs without snagging. The coiled middle grabs a hold of hairs and pulls them out by the root, so you don't have to worry about stubble coming back the next day. And even though we recommend it for your upper lip, it can be used all over the face. Although, we would suggest using another method to touch up your brows. The best part is, you don't need an outlet or charger to use it. Simply put it in your makeup bag and touch up on the go.

Speed Settings: None | Type: Manual | Run Time: N/A

This tiny little device is travel-friendly, affordable, and efficient, what's more to love? It painlessly removes hair in less than five minutes by microscopically paring it down through a spinning head. Its petite design makes it ideal for facial hair or taking it on the go and it works on all hair types, from thick and coarse to fine. It's also dermatologist-approved and hypoallergenic, so it's suitable for sensitive skin types and won't cause any irritation. Just gently press the head of the unit flat against your skin and make sure not to use it at an angle. Note: it is normal for the device to get warm as it works its magic.
