    This product should be off the market. Burning, swelling, facial infection. I have contacted the Canadian Pharmaceutical and they will be verifying the product and hopefully will never be sold in Canada.

    When I first used Just for Men on my beard and mustache it burned my skin. In fact the skin above my stache still peels and it's been over a year. I use Bag Balm on my lip to keep the skin from flaking.

    I have been using for about a year. Last month I experienced a burning sensation that I hadn't in the past. I have used it through June not sure what I did wrong and the same results, severe burning that doesn't seem to go away. I tried putting hydrocortisone and burn creams on, but with no positive results. I have saved the last purchase of the product if there is some sought of class action lawsuit.

    Got this for my husband. Used as directed on packaging and did a patch test. Used the dye and a week later left this face swollen, weeping, mass peeling, itchy and extremely uncomfortable. Took a week of pain for the swelling and weeping to calm down. Left his chin very sensitive, even to the sun. Should be banned as very dangerous product to be on shelves. The pictures are of day 4.

    I've used JFM a few times exactly as directed. Recently I mixed the gels and applied it to my goatee. within 30 minutes of removing the mixture from my face in the shower it began burning and turned red. Over the next few days large sores (about the size of a #2 pencil eraser) began forming all over the areas where the mixture had been. I now am three weeks after the incident and somehow still have several sores and scarring where the others used to be, How the hell can this company continue to get away with this? I only googled about this to find out if it was possibly just my skin but then I found this and several other blogs. Are there any lawyers out there that handle class action work?? This is ** nuts!

    I ended up getting Vitiligo after using this product for 6+ months. I was trying to figure out what was causing these (at the time) subtle white spots, which then grew and got more and more white. I am so unhappy and depressed with having the condition now after seeing my dermatologist. I had to spend $245 for the visit and $487 for photo optic ointment after insurance. No cure, but there could be improvement. The chemicals in this product are toxic and everyone should avoid anything with "PPD".

    After using JFM for several years... I was shocked and beyond angry after what has happened to my chin after the last application. About two weeks ago I dyed my beard as I have many times before. Within 2 minutes of application... it WAS BURNING! Like my face was on fire! I tried to get it off as quickly as possible. I noticed several red areas around my chin. Over the last 2 weeks... Those red spots have turned into NUMEROUS infected boils. And also acne in other spots. I'm 46 and have NEVER had acne issues in my life... If this does not clear up within a few more days I will be FORCED to go to a Dermatologist to seek the proper treatment. This is the 1st time I've ever had such a bad reaction to this product. I'm glad I have stumbled onto this site. Because to be honest? I thought this was just some freak thing that only happened to ME! NEVER AGAIN!

    Friday night, I used JFM. Saturday morning, I felt some tingling and noticed I had some redness in my face. By the afternoon my face started to swell. Mother's Day morning which was Sunday, my face was so severely swollen and irritated. Also a red rash on my face. I had to go to the emergency room twice in the same day because the 1st time I went they prescribed me a steroid cortisone ointment which didn't work. Then I also noticed I had some type of pus oozing out my face. The ointment hardened the pus so I went back to the emergency room. They seen me right away. The doctor on duty had the nurse administer a adrenaline shot in my thigh to stop the swelling and also give me a higher dose of Benadryl. I stayed in the emergency room til Monday morning.

    The first few times my husband used JFM with no problems. Recently he applied and had a terrible reaction. Then he waited for a month. Purchased another box. Applied JFM beard dark brown. Put it on for 5 minutes. He started to feel the burn. Unfortunately the dye didn't even color his grey. He got blisters and pus coming out from them.

    Installation & Setup

    Reviewed April 23, 2015

    I read all of the instructions and followed them carefully. The instructions said that results would be very subtle, definitely leaving some gray. I am a woman, with my haircut in 6 inch layers, so I was sure that my results should be subtle. However, my almost completely gray hair came out a solid purplish brown. What a shock! There is nothing subtle about my results! I do not recommend this product. Even after washing my hair 6 times, it is still much too dark and purple. Another complaint is that the front of the box does not describe this hair color as permanent. Only in small print on the back of the box do I find that it is designated permanent. Now I have the expense of repairing this mistake.

    Used JFM and experienced severe chemical burning, weeping sores, horrible itching and effects worsening over a period of 72 hours. Heading to Emergency Room for doctor's care. Do Not Use This Product! Terrible side effects that are unexpected even with the patch test. Learned by investigating after exposure that JFM's web site hints to this. They must know there's a problem with their product. Even tobacco products have a clear warning label on the package. JFM needs a large warning label on their packaging and not make it so the user needs to peruse carefully placed words describing its use. Best to just never use it in the first place. Keep away from it.

    I use to use Just for Men and had for years. Now I use Halsa Mustache and Beard. It is half the price and works much like Just For Men used to. It is my opinion the reformulated Just For Men so that you have to use it more often and it lasts half the time. Halsa Mustache and Beard on the other hand works in the five minutes it suggests and last nearly a month before I need to reapply. I am disgusted with the way companies seemingly con consumers by changing their formulas to something that is far less effective. I do not work for Halsa or am I promoting it. I just found it one day and it works the way it supposed to. They are very narrow in their color selection but, it works very well. I am not sure why Just For Men would think that consumers would fail to notice the change in the quality of their product.

    I have used Just For Men on my beard several times over the last year, with no problems. I'm 36, and don't have a ton of gray, just enough to make my beard look less than uniform. Boy, am I paying for that vanity now. 2 days of no sleep, because when I rest my head on my pillow, it feels like the worst sunburn I've ever had is being rubbed by a wool sweater. The skin under my beard is very red and irritated. I am tempted to shave my beard (which I've been growing out for 5 months) but I'm afraid it will look like I have a beard made of rash. And I'm afraid of further irritating the skin. I'm not sure what to do. The burning, itchiness and pain is very uncomfortable, and I don't want to give up on growing my beard.

    I have been using this product for several years, actually 15 years. However, I noticed back in August of 2014 a slight change in the product. After that time I began to get what I thought was at first an irritation when applying Just for Men's Mustache & Beard coloring. When in fact it was causing what appeared to be second-degree type burns to my face areas, where I applied their application and so, I stop using their product for several months thinking that maybe I had gotten a bad production batch. Nevertheless, after not dying my beard for about 5 months I tried it again to sadly receive the same outcome.

    I have been using JFM Medium Brown beard dye for over 6 months now without issue. Just two days ago, I opened a new box and applied as usual. After waiting the recommended 5 minutes, I washed it out. Less than 30 minutes later, it felt like my face was burning a little and started to itch. I decided to go to bed (because I usually shave and dye in the evening). Around 1 am, I woke up because my face was itching and burning like crazy. I jumped in the shower, washed my face and applied massive amounts of moisturizing lotion to my beard when I got out. The next morning I saw my skin under my beard was red and patchy. I applied some Redness Relief moisturizing lotion which helped for about an hour but the itching and burning returned.

    I noticed when I scratched my beard, little yellow scab would come off and my beard felt wet. I had to apply ice packs to my face because the itching and burning got real bad. The second night, I could barely sleep due to being uncomfortable with itching and burning. I kept applying massive amounts of moisturizing lotion to my face and applying ice packs to help ease my discomfort. I have been drinking massive amounts of water to help my skin hydrate and apply lotion almost every couple of hours. It's now day 4 and the itching and burning are not as bad but I still feel it a bit. I've been tempted to shave my beard off but I've been growing it for 6 months already. I will keep applying lotion until the redness and scabbing from the blisters goes away. I just wish the area around my mouth wasn't so sore since I have hardly eaten for 3 days now.

    To my dismay, many men are having negative reactions, from itching and burning, to swelling to dizziness to hospitalization, and the company says that a 24 hr patch test should be done to insure we have no reactions to the chemicals. The company hasn't come out with a gentler formula or anything. They point out their disclaimer 24 hr patch test.

    I have used JFM Beard & Mustache for 2 years, (my job requires me to maintain a youthful look) and up until 6 months ago everything was fine. Then, on the eve of a very important photo shoot "it happened". I applied JFM to my beard and mustache area and within 25 minutes my facial skin became tight and irritated. I thought, it must be my fault, maybe I applied it wrong? (this one time after 20 plus applications)? And despite me being meticulous and methodical about the process?

    Needless to say, I had done everything as I normally do so, I went to sleep in a significant amount of discomfort but figured I'd be fine in the morning but when I woke up, IT HAPPENED. Oh man, my pillows and bed sheets were covered in yellow pus, blood and JFM dye, my face was burning, and I could barely open my mouth! I was due on my photo shoot in 3 hours, and could not miss it!

    I show up to my job and the make up girl goes "Bobby I can't do your face, you have a severe chemical burn on you face!" and explains it can happen from poor quality hair dyes that make contact with your scalp. Needless to say I could not do my job and was fired. What's worse, I have yet to find a product to cover my grey on my face since. Clearly JFM changed the formula at some point.

    I thought it was just me. Something is definitely wrong with this product now. Been a user for 7 yrs but I would say since about Oct Nov of 2014 I've had the same issues. No way I can leave it on my face for 5 min. So I no longer get the results I use to and It burns so bad and the itching and welts around my lips are horrible. Nothing seems to relieve the discomfort except not using the product.

    I have used this stuff for a few years, just to battle the gray on my facial hair. I did the little test spot and it was fine, up until july of 2014. I used it as usual, however I did purchase a new box which stated same as before! I did the test area, and I was fine, until about 18 or so hours later when my face was on fire! I found that the only thing to give me relief was aloe sun burn lotion, put on my chin after using another antibiotic lotion I had, and taking huge doses of Benadryl. I noticed that others suffered far worse than I have, but I also had to endure the embarrassment of having my face blow up while nonstop dabbing of paper towels on my chin to clean up the stuff oozing out of my face.

    Been using Just For Men for about 8 years...never had a problem. Bought a box a couple of weeks ago. Noticed when i opened it up it was different -- It was a 2 part mix. The old ones were like a toothpaste tube with a small comb. Didn't think much of it at the time. Mixed the two together while using the plastic gloves...let it stay on my head for 5 minutes and washed out. Next day, Saturday, went to work...no problems. Got home around 5 pm. Took a shower and about 10 minutes after I dried off and dress, noticed my hair was still wet?? Took a towel and start dabbing it, thinking it was still wet, til i noticed a YELLOW PUS liquid on the towel??? Then all hell broke loose -- it was so bad, it was like my head was on fire...I had blisters on top of blisters. I couldn't leave the house for two days.

    Went to see the doctor on that Monday. He gave me some Steroids and a special soap. After a few days the Scalp was still sore but stopped blistering. I had to call in sick that Tuesday from work. It was the FIRST TIME IN 25 YEARS since i had done that. Then by that Wednesday I noticed my left arm and chest started to break out. Thought maybe the Steroids may had a effect. But after a week of it getting worst, All Red and itchy and started to scab up, went to the Urgent care last night. They said it was bad and put me on Steroids again. Now for 14 days -- total of 40 Pills. The nurse also told me that another man was there the night before with the same problems. Think Just For Men should be accountable for their product and take it off the market NOW. I heard there was a class action suit against them. I am really thinking about getting a lawyer myself for the Medical bills and prescriptions i had to pay so far. I will add pictures later.

    Consumers considering Just For Men mustache and beard coloring should be very aware for the risk of reaction. After using the product for 2 months without a problem, I purchased a new container of the product. Since I had used the product with no problems, I didn't take the instructions regarding testing it before each use would be necessary. I was wrong because this time, within an hour of using the product on my mustache, I began to swell at the corners of my mouth, next came itching and more swelling of my lips. Each time I washed my face with a gentle face wash, my lips would sting and itch. This continued for over a week with me trying to find something that help the itching and swelling. The corners of my mouth began to look infected.

    After taking Benadryl for a week, I tried Blistex medicated ointment and it has finally started to improve. At first I didn't know for sure if the Just For Men has caused the reaction so I tested a spot on my arm as recommended and within a few hours, swelling and redness began - by the next day the spot is red, swollen and itches like crazy.

    I am at this site today because my recent experiences--which includes having awakened this morning to a swelling of my face along the jawline--led to me to knowing I had to research what might be the cause. (I have used JFM for years and never had a problem, so JFM's being the culprit wasn't my immediate conclusion.) But I am extremely surprised how so many of us have been experiencing similar problems. It truly has been odd. The serous fluid ooze is something that I have never experienced from any product ever. I had worried, to be candid, that it was skin cancer. And I also had itching, terrible itching, but--again--I didn't automatically suspect JFM because I have been using it for a very long time.

    Something needs to be done. This product needs to be recalled. (I just purchased a few boxes and I would, of course, like to be able to send those back for a refund, not much more importantly, there needs to be a halt to sales of this.) Is it a change to the formula? Is it employee sabotage? What is it? Thank you to all of you have posted here before me. I am grateful to know that I am not alone. If anyone can suggest an alternative product, I would appreciate it. And I hope that someone steps in for us--a government body and/or a law practice.

    Like many of the men that have written reviews, I have used Just for Men for years and as of recent are experiencing painful blistering and rashes. There must of been a change in the formula and the discomfort is too much to continue using the product. It is a shame there isn't a quicker or better process to get answers as to what was changed. R&D is important for progress, however in this case the consumers has clearly tested and the discovery is the product needs to reverted back to the old formula.

I am taking antibiotics to minimize the infection I gave myself from scratching my face during the night. I am also regularly taking antihistamine (50mg) and off the shelf hydrocortisone cream. I am reluctant to shave my beard as I do not want to spread the infection around my face. Any suggestions? How long will this last?! There is yellow crusting around the mouth from the weeping blisters. These sores are elsewhere on my face but remain hidden under my beard hair.

I have follow-up dermatology appointments scheduled to ensure prevention of scarring.

Second treatment on December 14th turned out exactly as others have described. Within 6 hours a rash had started to form. Extreme itching and blister/oozing. Did a skin test as well with no problems. I would have never imagined a product sold over the counter could have such bad effects. This is something that should be pulled. I will be putting in a formal complaint to company.

Not just on my face, but on my neck and on various spots on my whole body. I didn't realize what the cause was until today. I used the stuff yesterday and last night and today my neck, body were uncontrollably itchy. And my eyes became red, swollen and itchy. My neck even feels slightly raw to the touch. I Googled this crap wondering if this was the cause and BINGO. I realize now that every time I used this, these symptoms would follow.

    I first tried this stuff in mid-August 2014, did the required skin test, fine, and it colored my beard fine with no problems. Used it again in early October, no problems. On the last use in late November all hell broke loose. Itchy beard, then rash along edges, oozing under beard, and now about a week later the rash seems to have taken on a life of its own... WTF! There are red itchy blotches all over my neck, itching along my jaw and up behind my ears even though I've only grown a small goatee/mustache.

    I've used the same package I bought for 10 bucks in August, so upon reading the other complaints, it seems that either the compound morphs into a vicious acid a few months after 1st opening, or skin looses it's tolerance to this stuff? The experience is much like that of getting poison oak (but in the face!), which takes about 3 weeks of misery, cold oat baths, clay masks, creams, hassles, before going away. If it doesn't go away in 2 weeks, causes additional & extraordinary misery, or medical expenses, then I'm open to legal representation by a LOCAL (SF Bay Area) attorney to pursue the matter.

I used the product as per instructions. I still had the same result, my chin and part of my mustache area red and swollen. The only solution that I came up with to relieve my face from the itching and pain was to completely shave off my facial hair and use an ice pack to cool down my face.

    I wanted to color the gray hairs in my beard. I'm 41 by the way. So I did exactly what the instructions said and rinsed it out in less than 5 minutes. Shortly thereafter my shower I could feel a slight burning and itching. A couple hrs later it was really starting to burn. What could I do, I had already wash it out. I tried putting cold water on my chin but that didn't help. Then I noticed my chin was wet. Not from the water but my chin started oozing puss. Couldn't hardly see it because of the hair (which was still gray) being in the way.

    After suffering all night and getting very little sleep early the next morning it was still oozing, burning, and itching. I couldn't take it no more. I had to do something to try and get a little relief. So very gently I shaved off my chin hair to reveal a very bad chemical burn oozing puss. The burning, itching, and oozing went on for three days but didn't stop there. Although it was starting to heal, whenever I would open my mouth it would split back open in several spots causing more pain and start oozing again.

The itch and rash remained for at least a week and my hair suddenly became weaker and thinner as noticed by my stylist. I don't know if Just for Men changed its formulas but this has never happened in the past and I always follow the directions before I color. I have sworn off Just For Men products forever based on the last two experiences. It's NOT worth it!
