Dr. Jamuna Pai,Consultant Cosmetic & Aesthetic Physician and Anti-Aging expertsaid, “Millions of Indian women consider soft, smooth skin as the foundation to beauty, yet they don’t use razors due to false myths. Popular myth that hair grows thicker post shaving is simply because you feel the hair grow back at its thickest part, gradually the hair tapers at the tip as it sheds the cells as it grows. It is scientifically proven that razors do not cause thicker hair growth or darkened skin and are in fact the most convenient way to have hair free smooth skin whenever you want and without much cost”.

Bollywood Actorand Brand Ambassador, Gillette India – Chitrangada Singh said, “Showing off sexy legs whenever you want is every woman’s desire. For me, waxing and hair removal creams were always a pain due to skin-sensitivity and the re-grow period.  I would wonder about all the myths surrounding shaving – it makes your skin darker, makes hair grow faster but when I first tried Venus, I couldn’t believe how simple and effective hair removal could be while still delivering beautiful results. All the myths were untrue. Today, Venus is my best friend for times when I need to be ‘beach ready’. Being at the beach, I like to flaunt my smooth legs and arms and Venus is the answer. Ever since I started using Venus, my smooth arms and legs get many compliments. This has given me the confidence that can only come from feeling good in your own skin. I urge all women to try the product; it is a one stop solution for all your hair removal needs.”

Actor and Brand Endorser Neha Dhupia said, “Indian women are multi-faceted and are multi-taskers, each playing a different role – a mother, wife, an entrepreneur, a corporate professional, they play it all. This leaves them with very little time for grooming themselves. And Gillette Venusis the right solution for all Indian women who want smooth skin at their convenience, at home. For corporate women, who have to be on the go and need to be presentable at all times, Venus is the most convenient solution and it is also very travel savvy. It enables them to be ‘work ready’ and feel more confident, feminine and beautiful. I was introduced to Venus by a friend who convinced me to try shaving. And there has been no looking back, ever since. Venus is so convenient at all times; it always gives me that and smooth skin that makes heads turn.I recommend GilletteVenus to all my friends!”

SvelteBollywood star Esha Guptasaid, “Being a new age woman, working in a profession that demands me to make a presenceat many social dos – like clubs, events, parties and functions,looking good and confident at these occasions is a must for me. And I believe smooth,radiant, hair free skin makesme feel a lot more confident, feminine &beautiful. I don’t have the time and patience to wax or to even use hair removal creams. More so personally, with my sensitive skin, these methods don’t suit me much. And then I used Venus; I was so overjoyed to learn that it in fact was the most convenient way for me to have hair free smooth skin whenever I want and also it did not cause thicker hair growth or darkened skin, at all. I can be ‘party ready’ at all times. Venus is my perfect, convenient solution that makes my skin feels supple, glowing, and makes me feel like a Goddess.
