“Do you guys want to know a life-changing hack that can save you thousands of dollars on laser hair removal and, not to mention, hours of pain?” board-certified dermatologist Shereene Idriss, MD FAAD, asked in her now-viral TikTok video. Nearly one million people—including myself—count themselves very intrigued about what the Dr. Idriss founder had to say next.
I'll cut to the chase: a “small but mighty" piece of resurfaced 2014 research Dr. Idriss shared indicates that slathering on Cyperus Rotundus Oil—a natural extract from “the world’s worst weed”—twice daily can provide results similar to laser hair removal devices. The under-$30 extract does so without pain and across a broad spectrum of hair and skin types.
