Just For Men Reviews

I used this product for years with no problem & just recently I used this product & I got severely burned with itchy face, swollen, blister with pus coming out, rash & scabs. I had to go to the ER because of how bad it got. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT.

I use Just For Men one day and was alright everything was looking good and then the next day at work, from 3:00 to 11:30 about tenish the crew and I took a break. Well when I came in the break room one of my staff members said what happen did you fall or did someone hit you? I said no and there's nothing wrong with me and she said again what wrong with your face. So I go to the mirror and look and my right side of my face was swollen and it look wet. Now I knew I have not just any water in my hair. So I took a paper towel and laid it on my head and YELLOW pus was all over the paper towel. I was itching and I was scratching and there was a lot of pain.

My husband purchased the Just For Men facial dye and used it for a few weeks. He experienced a horrible reaction that in form of an infection, swelling, bumps, and an uncontrollable drainage coming from his face. He is taking Benadryl, a topical antibiotic, and a steroid to relieve the symptoms. We are both disappointed in this product.

I used jfm last year with no problem. This year I used it and my face turned red and started itching! I can't get a decent night sleep cause of the burning and itching! I have to get up every 3 hours to change the ice pack!!! IT SUCKS! I will never buy it again. I will go gray!!!

I am a first time user of this product, applied 10:00 am on10/5/14, as of tonight 10/6 8:00 PM, what was a mild itch on the outset has turned into a burning and irritation with welts, splotches, redness and swelling all around my mustache and beard area. With all the similar symptoms I've been reading here, I wish I would have researched before I used it. Lost a day of work already, heading to doctor tomorrow, it's really horrible to look at and embarrassing. Seems to be getting worse with every passing hour.

I've been using jet black for about 4 years and until about 1 year ago I experienced, swelling of my cheeks, lips and chin. After applying it I also have a burning sensation around my lips and chin and pus and some other type of liquid forms around the area I apply to.

I've been using Just For Men beard dye (dark brown) for a few years and never had a problem. I bought a package in June 2014 from CVS and I've had a itching rash on my chin where I used it ever since. It's been over 3 months since I've used it and the rash is still there. This is crazy. Don't use it! Who knows what it could be?

My experience was using the JFM Beard & Mustache (Dark Brown). I had been using packages from CVS marked with a copyright year of 2013 without any issues for several months. I then ordered directly from JFM online and received a 2012 marked box. THIS is when I noticed a problem. The 2012 dye made my hair scrunchy and didn't appear to "work" as well as the CVS 2013 packages. I then bought a three pack from Amazon and received 2014 marked boxes. With this 2014 version, I am experiencing a burning sensation when I apply it and getting itching and some redness on my face. I am also losing hairs! I think the formula changed and there was a chemical reaction between the 2013-2012-2014 dyes. I have discontinued use until this itchiness goes away and when the dye wears off...

Friend of mine said he was dyeing his stubble and recommended I try Just 4 Men beard dye. I bought Jet Black. No issues, did 3 applications over 6 weeks whilst my beard was around an inch and growing. Didn't use it for 4 weeks as I ran out and the brown/ginger came through. So I bought the Dark Brown/Black color. Applied it. Same day I had a bath. I then put the usual products on at night. That night I spent all evening itching and scratching in my sleep. Over a few days I had dried skin and small rash. Saw the doctor who said it was a fungi infection and prescribed a special shampoo. I thought it was psoriasis (I can't spell it but had it on my head before).

Was on my second box of JFM when the itchy blisters formed and knew instantly what caused them. So I went online and was shocked at the number of complaints. I been wanting a beard for years but not ready to go salt and pepper (more salt lol) so I gave it a try and was pleased until last night. My question is WHAT THE HELL IS OOZING OUT OF MY FACE! Seriously what is that?

I have used product since 2013. Had not had any negative reactions until the box I bought in July at Walmart in Missouri. Applied to my beard. Left it on 5 minutes. Got in shower and washed it off. Didn't seem to darken that much. Then later that night jaw area swelling and red and itching. My chin had water dripping out of it. During night keep me up looking in mirror and trying to wash it clean - no luck. Next day chin swells more and lips and neck area affected. Started googling to see what to do. Labor Day Holiday. Miserable and my Doc’s not in. Can I make it until Tuesday without serious problems… getting anxiety. Is this dangerous stuff? Help.

Just bought this product and applied only a very SMALL! Amount to my mustache area and remaining beard. As a consequence I have just started with the symptoms everyone else is talking about, itching, scabbing and swelling etc. This product is seriously dangerous. DO NOT USE!!! I'm just hoping it will go away but I fear it's getting worse. How can a product like this make it's way past the British food and drugs standard association! It makes me wonder what other dangerous products they allow to be sold on our shelves.

I've used the product for years with no problem. Over the last few weeks I've been burned by the chemicals. It's itching horribly, redness, burning sensation. Driving me crazy. Painful. Creating scars then the itching leads to bleeding scars. Slight swelling. The burning is the worst. No cream will alleviate the pain. I thought perhaps I had just become allergic to it for some reason - but I was shocked to see everyone else on here and on other websites experiencing the same thing. The scars ooze and then after some time crusts over (disgusting, sorry). It's a yellowish crust leaving tender red skin underneath. If you wash off the crust, it starts all over again with oozing. I'm going to see a doctor tomorrow. I was holding out but I'm done. It's not getting any better.

My husband used Just for men, LAST YEAR for approx. 3 months. When he started getting a rash on his face he stopped using it. But the problems didn't stop. He still suffers from rash and facial swelling around his mouth, almost a year later. Doc has prescribed antihistamines and cortisone, but nothing works. DON'T use this junk!!!

I have used this product before and had no problems at all until a week ago. I used this product one morning after work, I shaved my face and dyed my beard. Well the next day my face was swollen and looked like someone had punched me hard on both sides of my face. There was some nasty yellow disgusting puss oozing from my jaws, chin, cheeks and from the corners of my mouth. "Very embarrassing." I didn't wanna leave the house at all. There were hard thick scabs all over my face and chin and under my neck. And it was itching constantly. I tried not to scratch it but I couldn't help it. And when I did scratch it flakes off. Scabs would be everywhere all over my shirt! I had no idea what this was until I saw a commercial on tv about this product giving me facial chemical burns. I have two boxes left and they are both going in the trash!!!!!! I will never buy this product again, nor will I recommend it!!!

Used JFM two weeks ago for the first (and last) time. Followed the directions to the letter and woke up with yellowish ooze coming from my swollen face. Had to put a towel on my pillow for two days until the oozing subsided. It left small hard scabs under my beard where the oozing came from. Five days after that, the itching started and then my face started peeling and flaking. What is even MORE disturbing is that I came into contact with someone who uses this product regularly (learned this in retrospect) and after inadvertently using the same face towel, my friggin LIPS swelled up and started burning and cracking. WTF is in this stuff????

I have been using this product Just For Men hair dye for years and until today I just used this 3 days ago and I notice some rash and swelling on my face and hairline had black spots - look like burns and bump in my head. This is the first time this happen to me. I had to go the hospital before but I did not know what was going on and I got very sick and I remember now I had dye my hair with this Just For Men. After reading this report, I will never used this product again.

I've been using Just For Men products for years with great results. The night of August 17th, 2014 all that changed. I used the beard & mustache dye by Just For Men only to wake up from sleeping with my chin & mouth area feeling tight & sore. I jumped out of bed in fear rushing to the bathroom mirror. The sight I saw blew me away. All around my mouth, chin, & under my chin area were swollen. My chin was oozing pus. I was standing there in disbelief. It's almost time for me to start getting ready to start the work week. I can't make it - not only was I feeling pain & my chin was oozing pus. I could hardly move my mouth to talk, not to mention " I Looked Terrible!!" I had to seek medical attention, got 2 shots - a steroid shot & a shot of Benadryl. Discharged with prescriptions for them both. I feel like there has been a change in this product & it's now very harmful. Not sure about the others I've read about but I'm seeking an attorney for pain & suffering, also lost time & wages from work.

My husband used this product on a Saturday and he woke up the next morning with his hair stuck to the pillow. The oozing was so bad. He had used it before with no problems. During that day - Sunday, hives starting popping out everywhere. By Monday he had to go to the Dr. Because the itching was driving him insane. It at first looked like a chemical burn. The Dr. Gave him steroids and a cream. We went back 3 weeks later and had to do another round of steroids. The rash went through his whole body down to his feet. Months later where his ear had burned, his ear swelled so bad we had to go to the ER. They called it Cauliflower ear due to a previous injury . His ear is now permanently damaged and misshaped. Now almost three years later he is still having hair issues. PLEASE DO NOT LET YOUR MAN USE THIS PRODUCT.

I've used the above product for close to 10 years and have experienced a severe reaction to the product. My face would burn, itch and I would develop a rash. The rash would last a couple of days, the itching would last several days and the only thing I found to stop the rash was Hydrocortisone Cream. This product needs to be evaluated to determine its safe use by men. I'm upset that it took quite a few years for me to discover what was causing my issues with using this product.

I've used this product over the year with sometime good result but many more HORRIBLE results. There has always been some itching after a day or two in which I tolerated. But many more times I've asked myself what am I STUPID!? In the beginning it looks for the most part great! By the next day bring the pain... the burning, the itching, the skin oozing, the dripping, the swollen jawline, the cancelled appointments because you don't want to go out looking like that. Truly this product can sometimes be devastating! If anyone can suggest something that works and you don't experience all of this horrible side effects, please share this info with me.

I have been using JFM beard colouring product for many years with no problems. The last 2 times the substance has rendered my beard area to dreadful itching, redness, blisters and water oozing from the lesions around my chin! The manufacturer must have changed the ingredients and now I consider this product dangerous! Use this junk at your peril if you read this and use it afterwards then don't say you weren't warned! WHY didn't they tell us the product has changed so many people with the same condition cant be wrong! JFM you have messed up big time, and now you need to put this right - apart from pain, irritation and embarrassment I am so angry. Shame on you!!

I have used this product before (JFM) with no prior problems... even just last week with no problems... Last night before going to a party I used a little on my goatee... I woke up on 8/10/14 with all the same sores, blisters, puss oooozing out, etc... It itches like crazy and I don't know what to do!

I have been using the product for several years. The last two times in June and July 2014, it burned my scalp ten times worst than it did in previous times. I would not advise anyone to use it.

Just for Men Mustache Beard and Sideburns - After the irritation test and a first use, my face was on fire. Same as everyone else, nasty pus and swelling and major scratching. I would scratch at my desk and flake everywhere. Also seem like I have more grey hairs on my beard than before?

My experience is the same as the many experiences recounted here. I have been going to a dermatologist who has been trying to figure out why my lip has been inflamed and pussy, etc. Only after reading the comments on this website did I realize the connection, as this started the day I applied JFM. All the symptoms including the burning sensation on my chin and lesions near my sideburns together with the lip inflammation are the same as reported here. I called them related what had happened and they said they would send me a refund, after I read them the lot number on the box. Yes, Just for Money.

I used to use the product and thought I would do it again for my 30-year reunion. After applying 48 hours later, it was as my whole scalp had opened up with sores and pus. I never had this problem before but it had been years. The oozing was so bad it was really running down my forehead. It is now coming up on two weeks and applying cream and took some steroids as well as Benadryl. I still itch and it spread down a little to neck. Do not use this product and just live with the grey hair.

I had been a user since it was introduced in the early 90s. When they came out with the Beard and Mustache formula, I also began using it on my mustache and goatee. However, in 2008, I began to get leaking sore on my bottom lip and blisters several days after using it. I inquired about a change in formula and they denied it 100%. There is no doubt in my mind that they did and it is what is causing these blisters and sores. When I discontinue, they go away. I had to shave all my facial hair off and keep it off. I did continue to use it on my head with the only problem being a slight itching. I recently wanted to grow the mustache again so I put some on my new mustache growth and lo and behold, 2 days later, blisters on my bottom lip.

I used Just For Men beard for over 5 years and now here in 2014, in the month of April, I use the Just For Men beard color and broke out. Try a few more time and every time it got worst. So bad that I had to go to the hospital to get help. Face broke out so bad it start running and my face had swollen up.

I have used JFM for over 3 years and just like most of the comments within the last month I have noticed a significant change to the product, my face, and beard. My face now itches like crazy and I have had problems sleeping at night. I have developed scaly patches that seem to be permanent. I have red bumps that oozes pus daily. This has been a living hell for me; limiting me to going out as I often like to. I highly recommend everyone to immediate cease using this product and if there is a class action suit, someone please post the needed information.

My boyfriend used this on his goatee and had it on for 4 min, showered and rinsed it off. Had a little bit of burning afterward, then that night he woke up with his face swollen and pus coming out and burning. The next morning, it was worse with the swelling, fluid/pus dripping from his cheeks and his chin and painful burning. He decided to go to the doc later that am. They gave some antibiotic cream and said to take some Ibuprofen. He came home, still painful burning and swelling and had to keep a towel under his chin to catch the liquid dripping out of his chin - it was so bad. He of course missed work today and will stay home again tomorrow. It's been a painful, horrific experience the last 48 hours and he's still miserable.

Devastating results and a truly dangerous product that should be banned. I used this product three times - the last time I developed severe scalp irritation and weeping/bleeding scalp sores that persisted for well over one month. During this period my life was agony. The worst was to follow hair loss. Now some four months after my last Just for Men application my hair seems to be returning to normal i.e. not falling out by the handful!

I used Just for Men beard and mustache. Gave me allergy, my beard and mustache itching and bleeding.

Used this product in the past, and it has worked great. About five days ago, I applied the product to my facial hair, let set for five minutes, and then immediately took a shower to wash out as instructed. I noticed slight itchiness immediately, and the next day it got worse. Everyday the skin irritation worsened. After using antihistamines and cortisone cream for several days, I saw my doctor. He prescribed prednisone due to the extreme rash and the way it is spreading on my face. I am on the 1st day of prednisone, hoping this will cure my rash. This product should be banned!

I have been using Just for Men for 12 years now and never had a problem until 2014. I get these painful and pus-leaking sores on my mustache area that will not go away. The dermatologist gave me a steroid foam but it burns so bad and just made it get blood-red and feels worse now. Any recommendations on what to do? How long does it take to get rid of these things. Has anyone found an alternative to JFM? I don't get this reaction on my hair, just the beard. Thanks to anyone that has info.

I was a loyal customer that used the product twice a week for over 10 years. However this past April/May I started breaking out in severe itchy rashes. The cracking of my upper lip is so painful with every opening of my mouth to talk, laugh or eat. I have applied cortisone cream neosporin, Benadryl and even an over the counter eczema cream. No relief. The scarring is very obvious and peeling constantly. I have gone grey and red and scaly. It is very itchy and painful. The itchy and peeling has gotten so bad that friends and family noticed I was always scratching my goatee, my chin and my upper lips. I have tried carman, blister and Vaseline for my lips. I am happy to see my experience is not alone.

I have been using JFM for many years on my beard without problems. The new formula came along and now the last couple of times of using it I break out in sores. Itches like mad and puss coming out of the sores. At first I wasn't sure what was causing it. The new formula should be taken off the shelves. I have emailed JFM and am waiting on a reply which I suspect will just say to stop using the product. Something should be done about this.

Horrible experience with this product - use it for years. Now there's blisters on my lips and face. Please someone come out with a safe hair product for men to color their gray hairs.

I have been useing Just For Men for over a year and never had a problem until now. Last week my face started getting light around my goatee. Then it started burning. Now I have blisters. I am suppose to go to a big cookout on the 4th of July which is tomorrow and meet with people I haven't seen in over 30 years. I can't show up with the area around my mouth looking like this. I need to contact someone because this doesn't make any sense. And I see that it's not only me and it seems that this product got bad starting this year. If someone would please let me know how to fix this, can you pass it along. I have a picture up but the cream on my face may have covered up the blisters and I don't wanna remove the cream. Now my face is leaking.

I've used this product with great results for over 10 years. However with the last few applications I experienced itching, redness, blistering (with clear liquid coming from the blisters), burning, and extreme dry skin after a few days. I'm afraid I might have some scarring to deal with also. I'm so upset with this product right now, I will never use it again. I just googled this and it really surprises me to see all of these similar customer complaints. Something has definitely changed with the formulation of this product and it disturbs me to think someone else will go through what I am going through. Recall JFM now before someone gets seriously hurt!

I used Just for Men and got a bad burning rash on hmm face, a rash on both arms, chest and my legs. I eventually got puss filled pockets on my head and left jaw. I had to post go on several rounds of antibiotics and steroids. I have some permanent scarring.

Started using this in November 2013 with little problem. Skin test were fine. May 2014, got a horrible weeping sore on my upper lip. Dr. thought impetigo because there were other sores, then thought cold sores on second visit, and went through that prescription. Had it cultured, no hsv1 (thank god). Turns out to be the reaction everyone is talking about here. Different formula or build up reaction? Don't know, but it really sucks, and isn't going away. Quit the product. Guess I'm growing grey gracefully. This product is bad news.

I have been using this product for six months and no problem. But last month I developed itchy followed by oozing blisters. It was getting worst everyday. I never suspected allergy from the 'JUST FOR MEN' hair dye. I went to the dermatologist who thought as 'acne'. After a week of anti viral, nothing good happens. Again I go the doctor, he says maybe it is folliculitis and gives me prescription for antibiotic and anti viral. After two weeks medication it subsided. Yesterday I applied hair dye. Boom! Within five minutes I started getting the same reaction on my skin. Now I know this is the culprit. I wonder how this product, which is unfriendly with the skin can be in the market. Please do something.

Purchased on 6/22/2014 and had used product in the past without a problem. Used as directed and developed shortly after swelling, redness, blisters with yellow discharge and scabbing. I'm in so much pain. This product is dangerous. The damage may leave scarring on my face for the rest of my life.

I bought this product, followed the instructions to the letter, and the next couple of days I was miserable. Every place on my face that came in contact with this solution became red and swollen. The next day, my face was oozing clear liquids that would dry up and form uncomfortable scabs and felt like sandpaper and it made my skin tough to move for even the most common facial expressions: smiling, eating, etc. This stuff needs to be taken off the shelves before it hurts someone else. I can't go out in public and prefer to stay inside so I don't have to let anyone see the condition this concoction has left my face in. I will deal with my gray beard hair and I won't go near this product ever again.

I have used JFM for over 7 years without a single problem and with good results. Purchased several boxes of the "New look" JFM and it's changed. My scalp, ears, and neck suffered burning and severe itching. Never had this problem with the previous "old" JFM. Took the whole lot back and got my money back. Won't ever use this stuff again.

I had been using Just For Men for a couple months without any issues. Now my face is swollen, clear oil sticky substance leaking from my face, itching. I don't know what happened but this is something that clearly needs to be taken off the shelf, ASAP!!

I started using JFM about a year ago at the request of my wife. Around October I developed neck pain/discomfort and headaches. Lived with it for a couple of months until decided to see a doctor. MRI and X-rays of my head were OK and showed natural signs of aging but nothing else. Sent to a pain doctor who injected the back of my head a couple of times and diagnosed the problem as tension headaches.

I thought it was me... but after reading all the complaints I know this not to be the case... it's the product. My face itched, the skin flaked off and I now have a permanent dis-coloring outlining my mustache. I do not believe it is safe for human usage and should be pulled from the shelves!!

Just purchased my second box of JFM beard and mustache. Identical symptoms as described by others... Itching, weeping lesions. I have attempted to remove product, and have applied Benadryl and an antibiotic. I have taken pictures to document. Either their formula has changed, or there are 363 people whose body chemistry suddenly changed (I'm sure countless others are unreported). This product is dangerous and should be removed.

I used this product for years on my mustache and goatee, no probs. Used it 12/062014 and my face is on fire. I've now got blisters, pus oozing down my lips and chin, and scabs. My lips are so sore. It's driving me crazy. I can't leave the house. I'm so angry at JFM. What have you done to the product?? I'm in agony. I've tried burn fell packs, sudacrem, it's not helping at all. I haven't had much sleep since. I'm so itchy. Someone please help.

My boyfriend had been using this product for years with no problem until a few months ago. Recently he has been complaining of his face itching, sores with stuff oozing and swelling with headaches. He didn't know what was happening or why until yesterday he saw on TV about what was happening to a lot of men using this product. After reading all the reviews we are convinced it's JFM. I am never purchasing this product again. Right now his face is swollen.

Used JFM Beard Dye for a few years with no problems. Used the product recently and noticed burning and subsequent blistering of the skin. Took a couple of weeks to clear up. There must be something different in this product now, as I've used with no adverse effects in the past.

I too have been a victim of this nasty product. I have used the dark brown beard dye for years and it worked fine. Recently I broke out with the intense itching, red sores that ooze liquid, and white scaly patches. This has happened several times to me. I even bought another box because I thought it was a bad batch. This time is even worse. I have been home bound for a week now because I look so bad. I emailed the company and gave them all the information on the boxes and their only response was to stop using it. Something clearly needs to be done about a class action suit. It takes forever for these sores to go away. Hopefully it won't leave permanent scars.

I started using Just For Men beard dye to cover my gray hair and noticed sores and blisters. I did not know the exact cause of them until the correlation became evident as I again used the product and the sores and blisters returned. Last night I applied the dye to the upper cheek for the first time, a few inches below my eyes. I woke during the night scratching as it woke me up with the itching sores. The sores and blisters are extensive and bleeding which is embarrassing to be at work leading group therapy but I have no leave for the first year of employment with this hospital.

Wow, It must be a change in their formula. I have used JFM for the last 3-4 years just fine, but the last box I bought a few weeks ago is giving me terrible rashes and itches. Not as bad as many of the comments I have seen, but enough for me to prefer grey as my new brown! It seems international as I live in Australia!

I first tried this product about 6 months ago when I tried growing a goatee for the first time. I kept getting scabbed up pus blisters on my chin. At first I didn't associate it with JFM. I just assumed that because I've never grown a goatee before it was a reaction to growing hair on my chin after close to 30 years of shaving. I finally gave up on the goatee, and decided to use the remaining product on the sides of my head that starts to grey. Well SAME reaction as my chin, so now I KNOW the product is responsible for the bumps, blisters, pus and scabs. Along with that, I accidentally got some of the product on the top of my ear, and that spot too got the blister/scab, etc. I'd love to know of any lawsuits. I would be happy to join. But more importantly.... Is there a SAFE product to use?

I started using JFM dark black 4 months ago and experience everything that everyone talked about. I thought it was me like ingrown hair or zits but these sores came from the kit. I loved how my beard looked. It took time to get it right as I has goatee with edge trim along jaw line... as difficult to cover but using wet Q-tips help with cleaning up and straighten my lines. I had the itching after my second application. The sores followed and then the crazy dripping. I only applied this 2 a week and showed my wife who agreed, as a nurse, I have some kind of reaction to the dye. After read this horror story... it seems this product is unsafe. I am going to report to health Canada. If we make enough noise, hopefully we can get this resolved.

I "had" been a previous customer of "Just for Men" until recently when I developed chemical burns on my face and severe itching. I have also experienced a swollen upper lip from dying my mustache in the past but did not realize it until recently that "Just for Men" was the cause. Approximately five weeks ago I decided to grow a beard, which was coming in a little gray, and figured since I did not have any "test" skin reactions to the product that I would use it on my beard. HUGE MISTAKE! I developed chemical burns, red welts and severe itching. There were nights when I could not sleep because I was too busy scratching my face off. It was only until I did some searching on the internet did I discover that "Just for Men" was the problem.

Just For Men Mustache - Burned me... going on 3 weeks bad irritation all around mouth and other parts of body.... back... legs... arms. Will not recommend to anyone.

I used Just For Men for about 6 months without problem, but this past time I starting itching and then on the way to work, I noticed clear oozing coming from my skin just above the jaw line. The itching doesn't stop and I'm red and scabbing now. Is there any relief??? I tried a moisturizer and antibiotic cream - nothing helps.

It burns.... I want an alternative but it is definitely not right this product is on the market. I have 4 unopened boxes in my closet which now I can't use. Someone should do something!

I used Just For Men on Saturday evening on my mustache and beard. About three hours after I used it, my face started to itch. I made it through the night. The following morning when I woke up, my face had little blisters or scabs, and my face is very sore. It is now Tuesday morning, I just woke up and my face is still really sore, little scabs or blisters, and itches like you wouldn't believe.

I have used JFM for over 10 years and have never had a problem until the past few months. I have had allergic reactions that have progressed to the point that I have experienced blisters on my head and rash and a sunburn effect on my back. I contacted the company and asked if they had changed the make up of the product telling them I had a reaction. I noticed that one of the 2 part solutions had changed. It was now a white colored. They refused to answer the question and only told me to stop using the product. This last reaction has lasted 6 weeks and I have went to 2 Dermatologists and most recently went to the Cleveland Clinic, and as of this writing no relief. JFM had done something and it is making a lot of people sick. Something needs to be done.

First, sorry to hear so many others have gone through the same thing. I applied JFM coloring to my beard per the instructions. Later that night, after getting to a hotel across country, my face was on fire and itching. A couple hours after that, I started leaking pus and that carried on for the next two days. 4 days later, I am still in pain and am itching. With the little I can see under my beard, I am afraid to shave because I think there may be permanent damage. Is that possible? Has the company talked about the cause?

I thought it was me... but after reading all this I now know it's the product. My face itched so bad I couldn't stand it and I have scabs and burning and running sores.

I used this product several times but the last few times, I started noticing the blisters under my lip. The last time I used it, my face and lips had swollen up so bad I had to run to the pharmacist to get some over-the-counter medicine. My throat felt like it was going to close. My eyes was bloodshot red. I was going to a play that night with the family and thought I would not make it. My face was so disfigured my daughter noticed it right away. The chemicals in this product are harmful. After reading all these articles, I now know it just wasn't me. I would be willing to sign to have this product taken off the shelves forever. I hope no one goes through what I and the other men on here went thru.

I've been using JFM beard dye off and on for 7 - 8 years with no ill effects. That past year in using it I began to get minor irritation on my face and sideburns area. I worked to combat this by using allergy medication. It helped a little but it was only a little minor irritation. Recently I used it and the effects were so bad that I had rash reactions breaking out on OTHER parts of my body that the dye never touched. Weeping and puss were on my face for 4-5 days afterwards, scabs, awful redness and swelling much worse than anything I've ever experienced. The formula has certainly been changed and I have no idea why. It did the job before and now it's just dangerous to use and causes awful pain and irritation. I say pull it off the shelves. It's unsafe for human usage.

I used JFM on my beard and the worst allergic reaction happened to me. Itchy and burning was all I felt. The next day, my skin was covered on some yellowish/greenish puss coming out of my irritated skin, was so swollen. Took Benadryl and Motrin but nothing helped. We should all sue JFM!!

I used JFM and the same thing with everybody else - blisters, itching all over my body. I have a rash on my chest. My gentle part is itching. I notice the color in the tube of the jet black was brown and when I applied it, my beard was brown then turn black but all the other ones I used in the past was always black. It's a lawsuit against JFM. The lawyer number is **. Please call them and join the lawsuit.

My husband woke me up at 1 am last night with severe pain on his face. He used Just for Men on Friday night and all day Saturday and yesterday he began getting water blisters on his upper lip and chin. His lip and chin are now extremely swollen and the blisters keep multiplying. This product should not be sold if this is the type of reaction people are getting. He now has to go to the dr to find out how to stop the pain and hopefully stop the burning!!

After over 2 years of using Just For Men with no issues, within the last 3 months, I started getting itching to the point of clear light fluid coming from scratched areas, and scabbing developing. The itching would start the next day after using the beard mix, and continue with itching until the coloring would fade and require a reapplication. Eventually, after researching whether it was my own body developing something strange, I started researching Just For Men and saw the many complaints all centering on the same issues.

I wanted to grow a beard so I researched to find how I could easily get the grey out of my mustache and beard. It was between Henna and Just For Men (JFM). After deciding to use JFM, thought I found the next best thing for us men to go through the unavoidable process of getting older, but having the appearance of looking younger. I began using JFM over two months ago and up to now, I had no reactions or problems. I received a lot of compliments from a lot of people who know me, family, friends, and colleagues. Unfortunately, after experiencing burning, relentless itching, then scabbing, it now appears that the honeymoon is over. Not sure what happened all of a sudden.

My husband has been using JFM for over 6 years with no issues. In 2012 he used JFM and had a burning/itching feeling on his chin. A small blister had formed and progressively gotten larger until it bursts (I do have pics but will spare everyone). This has never happened before as I was a faithful user but have not picked it up since. If there is a class action suit, please count me in. I feel betrayed by this company for not letting its consumers know they changed a formula. The "scientist" that came up with this had to know it would cause some sort of reaction.

I have been using this product for at least 7 years and never had a problem. But over the last 3 weeks I have notice that my face have been burning and itching so bad that it would wake me up at night. So I tried a little spot on my chin and it burnt the hell out of me to the point where my chin is now peeling. I will never go back. I'm looking for a replacement now.

I have been using JFM for the last 5 years without any problem until about 7 months ago. I started to notice severe itching and some burning sensation with tiny blisters with clear fluid oozing out immediately after application. And the dye is not as good as it used to be. I thought it was just me who is experiencing the symptoms. It transpires JFM has changed its formula which is causing the problem. I can't afford to leave the grey and even tried to sport a clean face which does not suit me. Any other alternative dye anyone could suggest?

OK. Some will not believe this and, at this point, I'm not sure I do. I have also experienced the itching and discomfort. However, that is not what brought me to Google search and end up on this site. I used JFM for quite a long time - 6 or 7 years at least. For the last 2 years, I have struggled with a bowel problem - like irritable bowel syndrome. I've suspected a celiac disease (allergy to wheat gluten) and went on a gluten free diet 15 months ago. I've been improving but not cured. I keep having setbacks (flare-ups) and just recently figured out they occur right after using JFM on my beard and sideburns. (About every 3 weeks.) While I'm not certain this is the cause the timing of the flare-ups is now undeniable, I intend to get some allergy testing to see if this could be it. Will gladly go gray to eliminate the IBS.

Started using JFM about 6 weeks ago (Dark Brown). Got to bottom of dark tube which was darker tan I was used to and applied. However I didn't have enough so purchased med. dark brown. Had reaction within 6 hours. Not sure which caused the reaction or if my skin could no longer tolerate (after 6 weeks?). Directions say to test for 48 hours. But what gives when you use it for 6 weeks and then it starts? I can't sleep at night because of itching. This product needs to be taken off the market.

I was using Just For Men on my side burns where gray was showing. Soon after, I have red burn marks down the side of my neck and behind my ears. This happened within the first couple times I have used the product and did not relate it at first. I stopped using and the redness seems to be getting a little better. If this is affecting my outside, what is it doing internally? This is a dangerous product.

I applied JFM as directed. After a few minutes my face started to burn and I rinsed it off. It got very itchy, and blisters developed. I can now see weeping blisters under my beard and mustache. It feels horrible and looks terrible. I don't know what to do to treat the blisters. Don't use this product!!!!

Been a customer using Just For Men beard dye for years without problem. Until recently, I dyed my beard to wake up to a very painful burning reaction. Until this day I am having severe face blisters and scabbing under my mustache and beard. The blisters ooze a clear liquid drying into painful scabs. I have even lost hair on my chin due to the scabbing. In addition, my skin on my ears have dried out extremely as well. I've had many sleepless nights due to the pain on my chin. Please get the formula back to normal for your faithful, loyal customers as we deserve better!

I had used Just For Men 3 times previously with excellent results. On the last 2 occasions, I experienced severe itching and rash of the scalp and surrounding areas. The last time I was actually using ice on my head to try and stop the pain.

Oh please some got to sue JFM. My beard is full of blisters and some slimy stuff coming out. Wtf DID they do to me?? Been using it for 2 yrs, never had a problem before. Boy this is bs. I'm taking pics. Let's all sue them. I'm in. I also thought I DID some wrong when I MIX it. So after healing nearly 3 weeks I try it again on 4-11-2014. Boy that was a big mistake. My face is raw. Come on, just us men, let's go after them.

Used for 2 or 3 years with no problem until recently. Then started burning and itching. Had scabs under my mustache. Had flaking skin under my beard. It was constantly red and inflamed. Do not use as something changed in this product.

I've been using Just For Men (Jet Black) for a few years and I never experienced any type of allergic or harsh side effects. Lately, within the past 6 months, I started getting an itching sensation in my beard after each application that seemed to last until the color/dye had faded. I also started noticing blisters appearing as well. I also noticed that the color does not last as long as it used to. The company has obviously altered its formula without letting the public know. I find solace in knowing that I wasn't the only one experiencing these problems. If there is a possibility if a lawsuit, please let me know.

My husband used this product this morning. A few hours later and he has blisters on the side of his face and severe itching.

I used JFM for years with no problems. Unlike many here, I noticed issues with it longer ago, back in early 2013. The burning and itching started the next day and the oozing and blisters shortly after that. It lasted for about a week, until enough beard grew out to get the product away from my skin. I've used it a few times since then with the same results. If there is a class action, count me in. I miss the old formulation. Please bring it back. I'll pay the difference in cost, if that's the problem. Market it as a sensitive skin formulation and I'll pay extra to avoid this pain.

Just For Men Mustache and Beard Real Black M55 - I have been using this for the last 6 years, did not have any issues except when I bought one box a week ago, when I applied as per instructions I felt burning sensation and after a few hours later developed runny sores and blisters. Will never use this product. In my opinion definitely the formula has been changed which is causing this issue. I hope the company provides an explanation.

I've used JFM a couple of times in the past. When using it I've always had a little burning if I leave it on more than 3 mins but just the little burning feeling nothing severe. I used it the other day; this time there was no burning. Took my shower, got it all out of my beard. It look nice and dark. I went to bed, woke up and "lord have mercy", around my lips and chin were swollen, blister started forming and started leaking this clear stuff. I would suggest NO ONE purchase this.

I use Just For Men on my mustache, sideburns and beard for about 12 years. 2013, I can't remember the month when I use JFM, it started to burn on my sideburns at first. Then it started itching and I start getting rashes and sores. It got so bad I had to cut my sideburns off. I still got white spots on the side of my face to this day but after all that, I still was using it on my mustache and beard until I started getting rashes and sores that swallowed up my chin and I start getting white spots around my mustache and beard. So I stopped using it and will never use it again. Wish there was a way that I could sue them for my suffering and pain.

I've been using it for a while. Never had problem. About three weeks ago right after I used it, I had minor itching. Next day I woke up with a half inch scar in my mustache that I still have :(..

I used the two-part shampoo type hair color late yesterday afternoon and woke up last night with what appears to be chemical burns on my face. Very painful and swollen. I used the JFM product on my hair and beard and the effect on my scalp is nowhere near as severe. This is ridiculous! This product should not be on the market.

I've been using JFM for a number of years. This last time, with my most recent purchase of the product 03/2014, I noticed a difference in the makeup and consistency of the two solutions that mix together as the color is prepared for application. A day after applying the hair color, I am experiencing blisters, that are persistent and do not go away, on my forward scalp. I've had them for 2 days now and the condition is not getting better at all. I thought I had poison Ivy or similar. So I can tell you, something is drastically different in the chemical make-up of the product.

I've used this product about 5 times starting back in Jan. and after every application, my face would get very itchy, swollen, and red underneath my beard. A couple of times I even got blisters. It usually happened within 6 hours of application. At first, I thought it was because I wasn't getting out all the dye. Then I thought it was my shampoo or conditioner. I then realized it was definitely the dye. Today was my final use and sure enough it happens again. I wish I would have seen these reviews before use. I will not be using it again. STAY CLEAR OF THIS PRODUCT!!!!!

On 3/14/14 I used this product and immediately washed it out because of the color. The next day I experienced: Severe Itching, facial swelling and redness of the skin which I have documented by photos. Today is 3/19/14 and am taking Benadryl and covering my face with a cold wash cloth to ease the itching. This product should not be on the market!!! After one week it is not getting any better.

As I prepared to apply JFM this morning, I looked at the label and wondered about all the ingredients that I could not pronounce. I did a Google search and found this website. As with several of the other entries, I have noticed a very loud ringing in my ears since I began using this product (and even now as I write this). I have not experienced any burning or blistering so far, but will stop using this product immediately, and will recommend that my friends do the same. Seems like they should test these products before using the public as guinea pigs. Can you spell class action lawsuit?

Using this product caused burns/weeping sores on face which lasted for 10 days. DO NOT USE.

My husband has been using just for men for a few years but started having skin problems and on continued use ended up with a bad case of dermatitis that has spread. He has had itchy skin, red scaly patches that leak serous fluid and spots. I recently cut his hair as he is growing out the dye. I have to say that his grey hair that is coming out is so much softer, curlier and sexier! Men should not dye their hair, look sexy instead!

Used the product with success for a few months only to find now my skin is itching like crazy. I have red patchy bumps below my beard. I just put some Head and Shoulders Dandruff shampoo on my face and after about 15 mins. the itching has subsided. Hope they correct this problem.

I have been using JFM dark brown for beards and mustaches for 6 years now with usage averaging around twice a week. It's been a good product with no side effects for me until recently when I started getting itching and a rash after each use. Just did a Google search and found all these other instances of same. I must assume they have recently changed their formula and this is the result of that change. For treatment right after application I did rinse it out thoroughly and use conditioner to neutralize the acid. Then I applied Neosporin cream as an antibiotic and it also has an analgesic. This combination works well if you apply the cream several times a day until symptoms or cleared up. Perhaps there is some sort of class action we can get started that will encourage the manufacturer to go back to the older formula. In the meantime I've got to find another product to take its place.

I have use Just For Men mustache and beard with no problems. On March 7th, 2014, I use the product, woke up doing tonight scratching like crazy - my face was swollen. I'll call the CDC. They told me to put cold water ice on my face, and if I had any diff discomfort to go to my local pharmacy or to my doctor.

Same as the others but the itching and burning will not stop a week after one use. They do not answer my request for treatment. What a terrible company.

I used this product and developed a rash on eyelids. I had no idea that this product had chemicals in it that could cause something like this.

Used the product for four years, both the hair and beard color. I was very satisfied with the results. Received many compliments. I looked younger and felt better about myself. BUT... THEN... Just like everyone else here, in recent months ... I seem to have permanent chap lips, white crusty skin under my beard. Clear discharge if I rub too much, and rub I must because it itches like crazy. I've also noticed with the hair product I get crusty skin and clear discharge behind my ears, plus scalp itch, which was always a minor issue, has become more so. I suspect as others here that they must have changed the formulation in the past year. It's really a shame as I'm going back to being a gray head again ...

I've used Just for Men Beard Dye for several years with good success and no reaction. In December of 2013 after using the product I developed an oozing sore over my lip and in the corner of my mouth. After a couple weeks of the same symptoms, I went to my dermatologist who couldn't identify what the cause of the sore was. It was not herpetic. She prescribed an anti-biotic and topical steroid, which has helped. Not sure if Just for Men was the cause of my rash but seeing others posts on here makes me suspect.

I haven't heard of this happening to other people to my knowledge but here is what happened to me. I used the dark brown beard dye on my chest several times over the course of say 5 years. The last 2 years I had complications but didn't connect the dots until the third time it happened. Sure I got a rash but it went away but 10 hours later I would get ringing in my right ear then it would clog so I couldn't hear and I got vertigo. The first time I woke up and I couldn't lift my head, I thought I was dying. I eventually was able to lift my head with my hands and stand up to stabilize myself. Crazy, I went to Kaiser, they gave me a hearing test and I had lost hearing. This happened two more times then I realized it was from the beard dye. I can't hear certain pitches, concerts can be painful, etc... I looked at the packaging and the dye was made in Mexico. I think I am severely allergic to some chemical.

I have been a loyal customer for Just for Men for over 4 years now. I have used their Beard and mustache dye twice a week for nearly 4 years with no problems until recently. I noticed in December that whenever I dyed my beard it would itch like crazy the next day. At first I thought nothing of it. Then I start to get pimples and crusty forming things in my beard hairline and under my chin. A couple of the sores are weeping. I stopped using dyes on my beard for a while about a month which for me was a long time. I had a wedding to go to on the 22nd of February so on the 21st of February I had to dye my beard (I was just way too grey to go to the wedding like that). I am now scratching like crazy, my hairline has again become irritated by these crusty pimple like things and my beard is itchy like crazy. I can't believe this company would just go and change their formula without letting their customer base know. If there is a class action suit I am very interested in joining. This company deserves to pay for all the physical, emotional, and financial pain they have caused their customer base.

I have used JFM since July 2012 with no problems. On January 24 , 2014 I used the jet black beard color on my goatee. It begin to burn so I thought maybe I had it on 3 minutes not much more, so I rinsed it off with shampoo. 3 times. The pain went away. I went to work and bought an Amp energy drink and drink it. It was only 5 hours after the application my chin was very large & rectangular shaped, swollen and sweating clear fluids that dry up as it leaks like sperm stains. I then became irritated and very itchy. I stop by the store on my way home, chin dripping like a sprinkler on low. I bought some whole milk and when I got home put it in a little bowl large enough for me to submerge my chin in. This greatly eased the itching. I guess the milk neutralized the effects of the lye or whatever is in the formula. I am still leaking badly. I then added some hydrogen peroxide in the milk and soaked my chin for about an hour total. Did this to try and deter any further infection. I am not experiencing much itching and discomfort 16 hours later, but still am swollen. I am not swollen as badly but still swollen beyond public open appearance. If the milk and peroxide works better than the luck our fellow brothers of this experience have had, I will post it as a relief completely!

I found this site a few months back when I was wondering what could cause my weeping, pussing open sores. Like everyone else, I used both JFM hair as well as beard dye for the previous 3 or 4 years with no issues. I purchased a new box of each just prior to Christmas, and started with my goatee and side burns. What I experienced next was similar to most everyone else, an indescribable itch and burn. I have never had an itch so bad; the actual act of scratching (even though I was ripping my face open) was almost orgasmic. It was awful.

I've been a loyal customer towards Just For Men beard and mustache product for over 3 years. On Friday, Feb 14 Valentine's Day, I had a party to attend. I use the product Just For Men like always to cover up my gray hairs. Sat., I had some itching and by Sunday some irritation. I took Monday off from work to see my PCP. He recommend me to see a dermatologist. Today Feb 20th is my second day off from work Due to my pain and discomfort. My occupation is a Concierge in a condo. Dr. gave me a ointment Fluocinonide 0.05% 60grams. I thought it would relief some pain. But it didn't. Another day off from work due to this horrible burning, itchy pain in caused by Just For Men. Hopping w/ itching a week or so this nightmare could go away. I have sympathy for all those going thru what I'm going thru. Due to Just For Men. Yes, it's labeled try out a small area before fully applying. But I been test this years ago. I guess this new box or chemicals on Just For Men has been changed or have been reformulated. I say ban this product due the cause of pain and suffering most of us men going thru now with our face. If we could all sue Just For Men for our pain and suffering/times off from work, I'm in.

I used this product on my moustache. Could not believe the burns and blisters I got stayed there for almost 2 weeks. I contacted Just For Men and got a full refund. Should have sued for pain and suffering too. Will never use any of their products anymore.

In January of '14, after 3 years of using this product without any problems whatsoever, I noticed after applying the Jet Black beard and mustache coloring, a stinging burn on my chin. After washing the product off, a dark dye tint remained visible so I ran cold water over my beard for a few minutes. Later on that evening, my chin began to itch, burn, sting and pulsate. My skin became red, swollen and looked as if it was burned. The redness lasted for 4 days and I was very uncomfortable and embarrassed. What happened to this product? Why are so many people reporting the same thing? What is the company going to do to fix the problem? I am a lawyer and want to know!!

Applied this product and the next, the itching wouldn't stop. Next day I had open sores that were weeping and pusey. My face and lips were swelling. The pain was awful.

I have used Just For Men for about 6 months and no trouble. I purchased a new box two days ago 2/9/14 and applied it the night of 2/10/14. I was woken by itching and burning! Got up the next morning with runny sores and blisters that looked like chemical burns. I had to shave my beard to get some kind of relief but still in pain and itchy. I think if this many people are having issues we need to have a class action on this situation.

I've used Just For Men to tint my beard and mustache and followed the exact directions using it twice over a 60-day period. This first time my lips became chapped and I chalked it up to the weather. However this last time the same exact thing happened and now I have cracked (burned lips) and I felt like I was poisoned almost. Currently no lip balm seem to work. I have a blister on my upper lip as well. I shaved completely and it seemed to feel a little better but the chapped lips are still very painful. It hurts bad enough that I started researching to see if I could find something to fix it and I found this site.

I also noticed the product had changed when mixing it together. I should have trusted my instinct and avoided using it this time. Immediately there was burning and itching. I dealt with it for the first 24 hours, cleaning my face as much as I could and even using lotion to help sooth my face. Today has been even worse. My mustache area has dried out, leaving it numb. Rashes underneath my beard. I'm resisting scratching or rubbing my face due to the intense burn/bumps that follow.

I had the same reaction as others on here - used this product on my beard for a numbers of years no problem - then three weeks ago I came up with a rash and infections - stopped using as I thought it might be a skin rash, never thought of the dye. After a couple of weeks got better and figured it was time to dye my beard again. This time within hours severe burning sensation, itching and now I have blisters and open sores. So I googled and found these complaints. Something has happened with this product. The box I used was newer. There is something seriously wrong and it needs to be taken off the market.

What happen is I use JFM Saturday 1-25-14. Applied product to beard and moustache. Started itching and stinging. Had to remove it right away. Couldn’t sleep. Had horrible discomfort all over on my face. Notice liquid coming out next morning. Face was swollen, bleeding, itchy, bumps burning sensation. Lips and eyes were swollen too. I took ibuprofen and put ointment. Thought it could get better in the day. Not at all. Things got worse. Had to go to the urgent care. Gave me pills, cream and an injection. I’m diabetic and made my blood sugar and blood pressure change drastically. Had to go in the next day to the doctor due to my blood pressure. PLEASE REMOVE OF MARKET!!

This product has no doubt been changed. I have used it for the last 8 or 9 years and never had a problem. I noticed the formula changed and did not look or smell the same about a month ago. I use it 3 times since then and had very bad itching on my scalp for a week after each use. I'm not using it anymore and suggest everyone else do the same.

I as well was a long time JFM user, until recently. I thought it was just me who suddenly began having adverse reactions after years of use with no apparent problems. I hate the salt and pepper look of my beard, so my wife definitely knew something was wrong when I straight out refused to continue this product. Within hours of application I would be pawing at my face for dear life because of INTENSE itching. Then came the formation of large bumps on my neck area. My beard became dry, brittle and ceased growing. I don't know what happened to this product, but something definitely is amiss!!! Thank you all for sharing your experiences... now I know it's not just me!

This is only the second box of J for M I've tried. The first worked just fine. The second box the formula had obviously changed and so did the results. About 6 or 8 hours after applying my face and neck started itching and heating up horribly. My face swelled up to the point where the skin actually split open. It's been 48 hours now and finally the swelling is going down. Now there are scabs all over my face. I can’t wait to shave off my beard now when this heals up enough. I genuinely feel like I have been poisoned.

I have been using JFM for many years but last year this product has made me suffer from extreme itching, oozing for weeks after a usage. Someone need to get the company to either change it back to older formula or take it off the market and if there is a class action let me know...

I have been using JFM beard dye for 10 years and for most of that time, I thought it served me well. Unfortunately over the last 3 years or so I began to notice a very small patch of skin tone discoloration. At first this was imperceptible and I thought nothing of it. However over a course of time the skin patch in and around my goatee beard slowly became more noticeable and at odds with the rest of my natural skin color. As the the problem became worse I also noticed that the JFM dye was starting to become very problematic causing me to itch uncontrollably. The skin area around my goatee beard became so inflamed as to produce a burning sensation which is undescribable, unless like most of the guys here, you have had the misfortune of experiencing. Nothing would abate the onslaught of torture I endured whilst the itching drove me to claw my face in such an excrutiating and uncontrollable manner.

I'm gratified to see I'm not alone in discovering that something has happened over the last few months with the formula for JFM. I started using M-55 back in Sept 2013 and was thrilled with the first several applications...no irritation at all....THEN, in Dec of 2013 I noticed the formula didn't look the same when I blended the tubes together. Since then, I have major redness, irritation and bumps like the other men have reported. Something has got be wrong with the lots that have been produced...I am shocked this happened...I was in love with the product when I first started using it. Thanks to all the guys reporting this...the company needs to recall what's out there and figure out what's happened to the formula.

I have been using JFM for quite a while almost 3 years. Now the last time I used it, it broke my face out in a red itchy rash. Not just where I used it but all over my neck and face. I won't ever use it again.

I have been using JFM Just for Men for 6 years. This December 2013, on face I got red, bumps similar to skin chemical burns, itching, swollen lips with red and dark sores, I did not put any of the JFM on my lips, however I suspect that while washing JFM off, the chemicals in JFM made contact with my lips. Today, January 18, 2014, my lips and face are still swollen and itching, certain foods I cannot eat due to irritation to my lips. I do not have medical insurance so I cannot run to the doctor, just used the internet for a solution.

I bought the product and first tested it on my skin as directed and it didn't do anything to my skin. So I used the first box and no problem. When I got the second one and applied it to my beard at night before going to bed, in the middle of the night, my face started to itch and when I looked in the mirror, I had my jaw RED, SWOLLEN with CLEAR BLISTERS and SORES. I can’t believe what is happening. Now I don't know what to do. The left side of my jaw is swollen and it's been over 15 hrs the itching does not go away. What can I do? How long does this last? I have discontinued the use of this product.

I too have been using JFM for beard for 7 years without incident. In early December, I began to get itching and small, soon weeping sores, redness and inflammation. I was prescribed some medication but now I think it only apparently worked because time was passing since my last use of the product. I used it again the a.m. of January 12th and whoa, a horrible itching, inflammation, redness, etc ensued. I then began to associate the symptom to the product and now, having seen this site and comments, I am amazed at the breadth of absolutely common reactions. I will follow up with the company and let you know. I would encourage all of you to consider sending a letter through a lawyer - some of the effects suffered are quite significant.

It is so obvious that I was using the product. I would not recommend this. I returned it to customer service right away and filed a complaint. This stuff should not be allowed to be sold in stores. I ended up just shaving my entire head bald.

I have been using JFM beard coloring for 6 years with never a problem. In the last few months the product took on a different color during mixing so I knew the formulation of the chemistry had changed. The revised formulation has given me numerous facial skin problems, including red skin, extreme itching, boil looking pimples and the worst looking lesion on my lips you have ever seen. I was forced to shave my beard off and was shocked to see the skin problems left by this horrible product. I cannot rid myself of the physical skin damages with any over the counter meds. I have an appointment on Tuesday with a skin doctor. If the damage is permanent, I will look to start a class action lawsuit against JFM. If anyone else has has a similar experience please reach out to me to join me in the pursuit of this irresponsible company.

I start no shave November and as my facial hair started to grow in, I wanted to clear up my gray. I have used JFM in the last and purchased the same color as I had many times before. When I got home I did the skin test as always and waited as directed. When I went to color in my facial hair after a few minutes I felt burning so I quickly washed it off. I ended up in the ER with blisters all over my face with a clear liquid coming from my pores. My face algae swollen up to two times its size. It did not stop there. The sores from the blistering turned into Staph infection which landing me in the hospital again. The staph infection was so bad that I know have permanent scars on my face as well as several bumps that keep me from ever using a straight razor again. Someone should file a class action law suit and if anyone knows of an attorney to contact can you please let me know. This is crazy, product lawsuits are hard to file because it is not enough money for attorneys. I just don't want anyone to go through what I did. It was horrible. JFM should take their products off the shelves. If I could give them anything lower than 1 star believe me I would.

I bought Just For Men "Dark Brown" hair color...Touched up the 'ole 'noggin, and hell, while I was at it, applied some to the full beard I grew in over Christmas... Well as most of you know now (not sure why else you would be reading these posts), I am experiencing symptoms that I would describe as "melting of the head, face and neck areas" .. What kind of people created this... Monsters I say... I have all the same symptoms described here, except the added bonus/difference from what I can tell, is the swelling and leaking of the head area (although I only read approx. ten posts here). What is presently happening to me cannot be put into words here... Please, if for some reason you are reading this Prior to purchasing Just For Men, for the love of God, don't buy it, run the other way... Just as I was writing this, I have leaked through an entire face cloth... Think about that man, and it has only been 24 hrs since I applied it... So from the posts I have read, I can look forward to approx of another week of this, and that's being optimistic... Wow... If someone from this company is reading this... Go ** yourself, you spineless **... Probably can't even grow a beard...

After a few uses I have experienced the same itchy, oozing rash under my beard. It is extremely painful. I contacted JFM to ask them to remove the product from the shelves!!!

I have used Just For Men beard and mustache dye for nearly a year without any problems. Last week, however, I bought and used a new one a week ago and suddenly developed an intense case of itching. The next morning I had developed a lot of itchy oozing rashes. I checked online and found out that I am not alone. What do we do now?

I am another poor sap who has had a bad reaction to this new formula. Never again. I'll just shave it off. How can a company ignore this sort of feedback? Don't they realize that word of mouth is one of the most effective forms of advertising?

Wow! I am glad that I found this site and thread. Two days ago, I tried Just For Men for beards. The product provided the expected hair coloring, but my body's physical reaction is the same as others... red skin, severe itching, and white/clear blisters. The only additional symptom is that the left side of my face and under my jaw are swollen. I am not sure why only parts of my face are swollen. My son said the swelling is so severe that it looks as though I had a tooth removed. It appears that the product produced a severe chemical burn and while I have found some minimal relief from applying cold compress, it is only temporary. I agree with others that this product should be removed from shelves and is dangerous.

I've used JFM before without any problems. I tried it before heading home after being on a business trip for about six weeks. Since arriving home, I haven't wanted to see any of my friends or family because I started looking like a monster. My skin first started turning red under my beard. Then these big sores appeared. Then the worst started to happen, this itching and painful sores started to ooze this pus out like a fountain. I've truly been worried how long it takes to go away. Because it hasn't been getting any better and it's been four days. I haven't noticed anyone mention how long it usually takes to clear up. I'm positive they've been playing with their formula and some kind of complications is in order.

After using this product a few years ago, I started using it again. My lips and chin swelled up but I thought it was because I left it on too long before rinsing. I tried again and had a similar less mild result. So I bought a new box and got the same result. I have stopped using this product. Something changed in the ingredients of this product.

I have used JFM previously with no side effects. Yesterday, shortly after leaving the Light Brown formula on for less than the recommended time, I started to experience a burning sensation on my beard line. The itching became severe during the course of the evening and kept me from sleeping at night. 24 hours later, my skin feels like I have had a severe sunburn, and the itching is extremely intense. I have used this product before with success. So, what has changed in the formulation?

I started getting bad, chapped, swollen, cracked, painful, itching, burning, leaking, PAINFUL lips in Oct. 2013. I was using J4M & have been for YEARS! Searched the internet today & just realized thousands of people using this product are experiencing the same symptoms. I work with the public & hold a gaming license. I'm thinking my employer thinks I am doing drugs with the swollen, cracked, leaking, bleeding, chapped lips. I called Combe & they instantly agreed to refund my 4 boxes worth of J4M & told me not to use it anymore. Well... pull it from the shelves & give me a settlement for damages as well as pain & suffering!!!!

Like most posters on this subject, I've been using this product for years without any issue at all. The last couple of boxes I've purchased have resulted in a pretty severe itch and watery blisters. I will not be using this product anymore. I don't know that this necessarily requires legal action, but they should figure out what they changed in the recipe and "undo" it. I myself, after reading all of these comments, plan on contacting the company and let them know about my experience along with this site.

December 23 2013, I purchased the Just For Men N55 black to color my beard. Within two minutes, I was washing it off because of the severe burning and stinging. The next few days I broke out in a severe rash under my beard and neckline and now my chest, back, under arms, down my sides and my genitals. It burns and itches. Nothing is working? Benadryl, creams, etc., the only comfort I have is coconut oil. This is horrible? It is getting worse and I could lose an opportunity to go to training school if this continues. It's embarrassing and painful! How long will this last? Somebody needs to do something about this!

I have used this product for over 6 years and never had a problem. But 3 weeks ago, I used it and my lips were on fire! I thought I had just gotten chapped lips, but it got worse with bumps and cracking and bleeding. I tried every kind of lip balm, Vaseline, aquafor, even a nipple cream (heard it was good for chapped lips). Finally went to the Urgent Care at the end of 2 weeks and the doctor said just try using oil-based petroleum jelly. He didn't have a clue. At the end of 3 weeks, I felt it easing up a bit but it was time for more Mustache color (JFM). Again with the burning lips! I started right back over - intense itching and pain. I googled JFM just to see if anyone else had this reaction. I really believe there should be a lawsuit!

It was an eye-opening experience to find that I was not the only one to experience agony after using this product. I, like the majority of guys on this site, had used this product for years with no problems. What a shock when I started to experience the same side effects everyone has described. What the hell did they do to this product? Did they find a cheaper way to produce it in some third world country? This company really does need to be sued. God forbid they are testing this on innocent animals.

I have used this product for several years, with no issues. I just used it again last week. The next day I had a burning rash on my face where the product was applied. It is the worst itching I have had in my life. Just For Men should be banned from store shelves. This is so painful.

I have been using JFM Mustache, and Beard, brush-in gel, medium brown # M 35, for the past few years. I have always had good success with the product, UNTIL NOW. About three months back, in October 2013, I purchased a new box of JFM, M 35, and noticed it did not look the same... like the formula had been changed. Well... I did my normal application of the product, like I always do, making sure I just get the hair, and absolutely nothing else. Suddenly, my skin began to sting, and burn, and act like it was on fire. After 5 minutes, I washed the product from my mustache and goatee, and the stinging got a little better.

I agree with many on the subject of something changed with the product Just For Men. Had used it also for years. Got a box two weeks ago... I am still suffering with burn-like sore on my throat and very, very itchy rash around it. This product has to get off the shelves period.

Like everyone else here. After using JFM on my beard I am experiencing a terrible chemical burn on my face, blisters, swelling of my face and a nasty constant fluid discharge from the area I applied JFM. I was surprised that so many persons are having these problems with the product. I truly think that action should be taken to remove this product from the market. It is extremely harmful.

I started using JFM about 18 months ago to dye my beard and mustache. For about 15 months, things were fine and I was satisfied. Then, suddenly, about 3 months ago, I started getting red splotches in the beard area that started itching and then burning. I continued using JFM, but less frequently, to see if the itching and splotching would stop. It got worse and began to turn into welts. Partly because of my scratching constantly to alleviate the itching, my face started to bleed. I discontinued using JFM weeks ago. The open lesions have healed but I still have red splotchy, itchy skin. I have found that skin lotions for eczema relief help with the itching and pain. I searched online and found at least one beard dye that uses henna and mostly natural ingredients which I will be switching to when my face heals. I will never use JFM again.

I have used this product before without any issue. I had shaved off my beard last about 5 months ago and decided to grow it back. Purchased the same color as before. Applied it and noticed the mixed ingredients looked lighter than before. I was good for a few hours and then a slight itch began. The next day, it was much worse and began to burn a bit. After a while I couldn't stand it and shaved my beard off and took Benadryl and applied lotion to the affected area. It calmed down and I went to sleep for a couple hours. After I awoke the itching started slowly again and I still have a nasty rash. Going on my third day of this crap and my skin is still broken out in an itchy mess! I recommend everyone contact JFM on their web site or call in. This is total BS!!!! JFM will be lucky if they don't start receiving lawsuits.
