The Remington EP5 5-in-1 Epilator, model EP7500, is a versatile hair removal device designed to provide smooth, hair-free skin for several weeks. It utilizes rotating tweezers to catch and pull hairs from the root, resulting in softer, thinner regrowth. The device is suitable for various body areas, including arms, legs, underarms, bikini line, and face, and comes with multiple attachments to cater to different needs and sensitivities.
The core function of the EP7500 is epilation, which involves removing hair from the root using a system of rotating tweezers. This method ensures longer-lasting smoothness compared to shaving. The device is equipped with a removable and washable head, making it easy to maintain hygiene. A precision light is integrated to illuminate fine hairs, ensuring thorough removal. The epilator offers two speed settings: "LOW" for fine hair and "HIGH" for coarse hair or stronger hair growth, allowing users to customize the epilation experience based on their hair type and comfort level.
Beyond epilation, the EP7500 also functions as a shaver and trimmer with dedicated attachments. The shaver head provides a close shave for sensitive areas, while the bikini comb, when attached to the shaver head, allows for trimming and shaping the bikini line. This multi-functionality makes the device a comprehensive solution for personal grooming.
Before using the epilator, it is recommended to ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free from creams or oils. Rubbing the skin in the area to be epilated helps lift short hairs for optimal removal. For first-time users or those who haven't epilated in a while, it's advisable to start on a small area to allow the skin to adapt. The optimum hair length for epilation is between 2-5mm; longer hair should be trimmed beforehand. Taking a warm bath or shower and exfoliating prior to epilation can make the process more comfortable by softening the skin and removing dead skin cells. Epilating in the evening is suggested to allow any potential redness to subside overnight. After use, a body cream or aloe lotion can be applied to soothe the skin.
For arm and leg epilation, the device should be moved slowly upwards from the lower arm/leg. To epilate behind the elbow/knee, keeping the arm/leg straight helps stretch the skin. When epilating, the device should be held flat against the skin at a 90° angle, with the Ultimate Contour Cap ensuring the optimal tweezing angle. Small circular motions or a slow, continuous movement against hair growth are effective methods.
For sensitive areas like underarms and the bikini line, it's crucial to hold the skin taut. The "LOW" speed setting or the Detail Cap is recommended for these areas. If it has been a long time since hair removal, trimming the hair to 2-5mm with a bikini trimmer or cosmetic trimmer before epilation is advised.
Facial epilation should be done using the Detail Cap. The epilator should be placed at a 90° angle to the skin and moved in a circular motion. It's important not to use the epilator for removing eyebrow hair and to keep the product away from hair on the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes. The built-in precision light aids in seeing every hair for thorough removal.
The device comes with several caps to enhance the user experience:
For shaving, the shaver head can be attached by pressing the head release button and then clicking the shaver head into place. The shaver head should be held at a 90° angle to the skin and moved against the direction of hair growth. For trimming and shaping, the bikini comb attaches to the shaver head, allowing users to hold the shaver at a right angle to the skin and press down gently to edge and shape desired areas.
Regular cleaning is essential for the long-lasting performance of the epilator. The epilation head should be cleaned after each use. To do this, ensure the epilator is turned off and disconnected from the mains. Press the head release button to open the head assembly. The epilator head can then be removed and rinsed under running water. For optimal cleaning, brush hairs from the tweezers before rinsing. While the epilator is suitable for use under running water, it is not recommended to submerge the entire unit. The epilator head can be submerged only after it has been removed from the main body.
To remove any residue from the stainless steel tweezers, a swab dampened with alcohol can be gently run over the tweezers. Caution is advised to ensure the cotton swab is not overly soaked in alcohol, as this may damage the epilator.
The shaver head also requires cleaning after each use. After ensuring the epilator is off and disconnected, press the head release button and remove the shaving head. The blade and trimmer assembly can be removed by pulling upwards from either side. Gently shake the assembly to remove hair, and use the cleaning brush to brush the trimmers and shaver housing. Finally, replace the blade and trimmer assembly. It is important never to use the cleaning brush on the foil, as this may cause damage.
The device is designed with safety in mind. It may slow down or stop if pressed too firmly against the skin, protecting against potential irritation. It is advised not to use the epilating head on irritated skin or skin with varicose veins, rashes, spots, moles, or wounds without consulting a doctor. Individuals with reduced immune response (e.g., during pregnancy) or those suffering from diabetes mellitus, haemophilia, or immunodeficiency should also consult a doctor before use. For hygiene reasons, the epilator is intended for use by one person only.
