Just For Men Reviews

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.

I have used JFM products before with nothing more than a mild itch after use. They may have changed their formula because after my latest purchase the resulting burn and rash was quite unpleasant and painful. I even had to lose work as a performer because of the ugly rash that developed. Very sad about the entire experience.

I have been using JFM for at least 5 years now, with no side effects whatsoever until recently. DENIAL: Like so many other men here, I thought that I was doing something wrong or different and tried it more than once applying different methods; thinking it was a bad batch or something, and that the results would be different. REALIZATION: never realizing it is actually the entire product line and not just isolated incidents until I came to this website. My denial wasn't such a bright idea because now I have unbearable itching, irritated, red sores, some with scabs on my upper lip, under the hair which looks disgusting. What a nightmare this product has caused. My God why do we have to suffer for just wanting to look decent. JFM has definitely done something wrong with this product and something has to be done about this. JFM also needs to pay for all of our pain and suffering. Too many of us are/have suffered long enough!!! Can anyone say CLASS ACTION SUIT.

A couple of years ago, I used JFM on my beard and mustache and it worked fine without any itchiness or facial irritation. Then a few months ago, I tried a lighter color so that it wasn't so apparent that I colored my beard. That evening and for the next 6-7 days my face started breaking out with small blisters and the itching was unbearable. I tried anti-itch creams, Aloe, etc. nothing helped. I assume they changed the formula and aren't telling.

Everything you are reading on here about blisters, welts, swelling is true. This product should not be sold. Severe angry reaction surfaced 36 hours after application and is slow to dissipate. It has been a full week now and improvement is very slight - blisters have shrunk in size but still scarlet red and facial swelling remains. Fear of secondary infection during the healing process is very real. Unable to leave the house due to disfiguration.

I decided to go full beard 2 months ago and as it grew in, it was peppered with gray. After careful consider and product review, I chose the JFM and purchased it at a local pharmacy. I followed the directions to do the reaction test which was negative. Because I like some of the gray in my beard I carefully placed the JFM only in the areas that really needed it and then washed it out according to the directions with warm water and shampoo. About an hour later, the slow burn and itching started and overnight my face started to blister and weep and burn. I applied pure aloe which did take away the burning but not the weeping so I continued to apply the aloe daily not really knowing what was going on. Call me crazy but I tried a second application two weeks later using a cold water rinse this time thinking that maybe if my pores stayed closed I would not get a reaction... WRONG.... The reaction was even worse this time and it took over three weeks for the oozing bumps and burning to go away... JFM you really need to fix this product

After using JFM for years most recently I have had horrible reactions. My skin itched night and day and red rashes and bumps began appearing. Eventually the skin began to peel off and I had blotched skin for a while. Then itchy skin on the chin and then large bumps began forming on chin and then on my lips. My lips even became swollen with bumps that hurt. Something is seriously wrong. I can no longer use this product and it has caused me pain, and embarrassment.

I have used this Product before and never had a reaction. But a few months ago, I had a severe reaction of swelling of the face and clear liquid oozing from the skin!! I had to go to the doctor and he gave me steroids to clear it up. I have given it a rest for months but my wife didn't like the grey in my beard so I tried again and again, I have had a severe reaction. I looked online for an alternative and found this site!! I cannot believe that everyone is having the same problem!! What can we do?? This has to stop! It's so sore!

I would really like to know who the idiot was that decided to change the formula. I've been using this product for years now and other than a little itch, never had any problems. My last purchase and application was somewhat different. My face is on fire shortly after application and itching like crazy, but the next morning my lips and lower face was swollen and I had these little sores that leak puss and sometimes blood. If you can't do any better than that maybe you should take those men pictured on the boxes off and put some swollen and puss/blood running faces on the cover or at least as a warning picture on the box then see how much you sell. Thanks for ruining my holiday season.

I used this product a few times, at first a darker color. I switched and all the symptoms happened... itching, burning, blisters, sores. This is ridiculous that something like this is allowed by the FDA. Poison.

I use Just For Men often on for a couple years now. But recently I've used it and I take the test as said no problems. The next day I broke out with mad sores and a clear discharge coming from my face as well as my face being swollen. I went to the ER. They gave me steroids and Benadryl. It’s been 4 days now still discomfort. They need to be a class action suit against them.

If you feel you have a gray beard goatee or mustache, DO NOT USE this product. I know everyone likes to do everything to look young but the chance of a terrible experience is not worth it. I had a terrible reaction, and after looking this product up, I see there is lot of others that have also. Same issues as everyone else, weeping yellow puss, itching, etc. No need to get into this. This may have cost me a job. I used the product on a Sunday for interview on Monday. Looked horrible Mon morning, really couldn't go. This is Saturday and still have rash yellow weeping, etc. I spent 7.95 on product but cost of Benadryl, rx steroids, Neosporin and anything else I can come up with to help doesn't warrant using this product. Patch test is irrelevant. That does not show how it will affect your face. Product should not be on market!

Have used product multiple times over last 4 years, the last batch I applied was November 2nd 2013. After following ALL directions, including the allergic reaction test, which came out NEGATIVE, I proceeded to apply the product to mustache and beard. The very next day, I experienced SEVERE itching which then went to oozing clear fluid from the pores of my skin to now what appears to be burn sores and now scabbing. FACE still ITCHES LIKE CRAZY. Am at a loss. My job depends on client interaction daily, clients look at my facial sores and that's it, I'm done.

I bought some JFM mustache and beard dye as I have so many times but upon application of the most recent box, my face started burning. I did what I always do, rinse, wash, rinse, condition. My face was on fire. I looked up "itchy beard" on Google and read about beard itch, thought I just had some dry itchy skin under the beard. I didn't attribute it to the JFM. My beard has been itching horribly since but instead of scratch it I apply lotion. It was manageable, until yesterday. While applying JFM, it stung, stung bad. I stopped applying and rinsed off. The sides of my mouth, my lips themselves and beard area were on fire and itching out of control.

Also a long time (8+ years) user of this product... Have always had a little very mild itching the first day after use. After purchasing my last batch, I applied it to my beard and all hell broke loose. Swollen face, open sores, terrible itching. As soon as possible, I shaved the beard off. It's been three weeks now. The open sores are healed up but I still have the bumps just under the skin, and mild itching... Problem is if I itch it, my face breaks out again, so I have been taking Claritin and applying a light dose of hydrocortisone cream to the affected areas. Seems to keep it somewhat at bay, but geez, when is this going to end?

I have taken this product before....about 2 yrs ago with no issues. This time my lips and throat and cheeks have swollen up to a ridiculous level..I have started to get bleeding, seeping pores with tremendous itching and fell I cannot leave the house with people looking at me like a freak-----What in hell did you people do to this product???? I would get the same results pouring battery acid all over my face ...It is a disgrace what you have done...If this scarring becomes permanent I will definitely be coming after your ******---pull this **** from the shelves you dopes...Save other people this agony...

I am very disappointed with Just for Men. I have been using product for 5 years with no reaction. But I purchase product a week ago and applied it then my face started burning. Have not been to doctor yet but I am going because in certain areas it looks like have an infection and my face is still burning.

I have used the Just For Men mustache and beard color black m-60 for 3 yrs. I have never had problem with this product before. I recently purchased a new batch about a two weeks ago. Before I used the product I did the allergy test and it was successful. Then I followed the instructions as always for apply the dye as I have done so many times before. I also used the Just For Men shampoo to rinse. I started itching within hours but I did not think anything of it.

I've used Just for Men Jet Black product several years now. After using this product on the three dates listed below, a severe allergic reaction occurred. My face & lips swelled up causing me a lot of discomfort. This has occurred three times: 08/10/2013, 09/23/2013 and 11/01/2013.

I used these products (Shampoo Hair Dye & Beard brush in gel Dye) for about 20 years without a reaction. 4 or 5 years ago I started getting an allergic reaction. My lips itch, burn, blister and leak a watery fluid. Then they peel, dry out & look red, burned, scared & really sore. Also the shampoo in hair color & beard dye both cause the same reactions. Where ever I use it the scalp or skin gets so itchy, I can't stop scratching and then I start bleeding from scratching. I'm going to try a different product from hennahut.com.

I have used the Just for Men Beard and Mustache dye for years. A couple of weeks ago I started with severe itching, and a red welted rash on my face, the itching was so severe I shaved my beard which I have had for 4 years. I grew my beard back and used the JFM beard dye again, the same irritation and rash started and is worse than the last time, nothing has relieved the itching that I just shaved my beard again. The formula must have changed recently because I never had the problem before.

I have never had an issue like this and hopefully never will again. The beard dye caused me to break out in an awful rash with pus-filled bumps and caused my neck and face to swell over three inches. I am now in the emergency room with a pile of prescriptions and a steroid shot. So this ten-dollar beard dye is turning into a giant medical bill plus prescription expenses. I hope someone ties down the guys that make this and pour it all over them for hours. I am aware that I can do nothing legally because of their fine print but I am optimistic karma will hurt these people like they have hurt me.

I have been using this product regularly for some time without problems, but a while ago I noticed very bad itching and had a sore come up on my lip which I ended up seeing a specialist about. During the whole of this, I stopped using JFM as a precaution as I did not want to aggravate the lip problem. The lip has now cleared and I used the product again for the first time in ages late yesterday afternoon. 2 - 3 hours later, my face started itching like mad and it has got worse overnight. The area where I had the problem with my lip has also gone red.

I had exactly the same experience with the Mustache and Beard product. I was going to try the product again but decided to go online to see if anyone else had any issues and I can't believe what I'm reading! Are there any alternatives to using this particular product?

The Just For Men mustache and beard dye has destroyed my skin on my face. A chemical burn has scarred me for life. The JFM company complaint rep told me that the JFM company will make millions before this company will pull their product from the shelf. The pain & blisters that everyone gets that has used JFM will have lifelong skin damage. Thousands, if not millions of men Will suffer... Do not use this product. If this happens to you or anyone you know, call them immediately & an attorney fast. We need to put an end to Just For Men. Please, if anyone can help us, please do it fast. Before some one else ends up with lifelong facial scares like the godawful ones that I have now.

Having the same problem as so many have complained about here. I have used JFM Beard & Mustache for approx. the past 5 years with no issues. Purchased new batch in late July of 2013 and immediately had what I believe to have been allergic reactions to the product (severe itching, redness and swelling of beard & mustache areas). I used the product several more times after that first time thinking it was just a fluke since I had never had any problems before. The same result each time and seemed to get worse with each additional use. I have quit using the product since and decided to never buy JFM again!

I have been using this shampoo in formula for hair about a year and it has slowly gotten worse. The past treatment was 4 days ago and I developed blisters and sores on the back of my head and neck that are terrible to say the least! Something has changed with this product & it needs to be addressed soon.

I have been using JFM for several years and I agree, the formula is not the same! Several weeks ago, I developed a rash between my lip and chin and my girlfriend looked at it and immediately said that it was caused by JFM. I said no way. I have been using it for years. Well this morning, I used it again, and it burned so bad, the rash immediately spread and I wanted to get my hands on whoever approved the formula change. This product must come off the market immediately, an urgent recall deemed necessary. My breakout is horrible, not to mention the rash. I used the product to enhance my appearance and now I hate going out the house. I am in sales, can you imagine sitting in front of the customer with rash discoloration on your chin. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. I can imagine that this discoloration will lead to something worse.

I have used this product for years but recently started to have skin reactions to the product. I always follow the instructions and have had similar issues over the past 6 months. I applied the product as usual at 7AM and by 4PM my skin developed a burning, itching, oozing blister. They definitely need to do something about the formula. I need an alternative solution until they get this right!

First use of Just For Men, my scalp is fine, but my face is swollen and skin is bleeding. I didn't put it on my face! Feels like fire. I put some Benadryl cream on my face and it burned so bad I had to rinse it with cold water. Only a cold wash cloth has any feeling effect. I am taking Benadryl tablets as prescribed. But it still hurts, skin is tight and swollen. It burned so bad one hour after using it, my hands were shaking. This is a terrible product that should be taken off the market and the people that approved it for sale should be in prison. Not only does it cause this reaction, but it didn't even change my hair color. :/

I applied JFM black to my beard on 3 occasions. By the last application my face burned bad and developed bad rashes and blisters all over. It has been 24 hours since I applied it and the pain is still severe. If it persists tomorrow I will see a doctor. Something is very wrong here, please do not use. My tonsils are also sore.

I have used this product several times and never have I had an issue up to now. I dyed my beard tonight and didn't even leave it on for the full 5 minutes. A couple hours later, my face began to swell and itched like crazy!! Also, I had clear fluid oozing out of my pores!!! I am very disappointed in this product. There must have been a recent change in the chemicals used in this. I will NEVER use JFM again. I have viewed numerous complaints people have posted with the same reaction and that tells me this dye should be recalled for review.

When I first started using "Just For Men" hair color products, I was just slightly getting gray hair. Not very long after using their product, I began to see that my entire head and facial hair was transforming to "All Gray" and now I am sporting "All White" facial hair and a similar trend with accelerated balding to my head. I know it is not my imagination. Did anyone else lose "The Battle with Gray" after using "Just For Men"? I need to know. Am I alone on this or has anyone other than myself gotten Grayer faster or mostly Gray or White hair after using this product? Once I stopped using it, even Rip Van Winkle had jokes. Seriously, I went straight from middle-aged to assumed to be elderly.

I tried a hair dye for the first time in my life. My hair is a darker brown, so I got the Just for Men Medium Dark Brown H-40. I followed the directions perfectly, leaving the product in for five minutes and then washing it out in the shower. My hair came out jet black! Also, I started having burning sensations on my head, with terrible itching and pustules that popped up all over. The next morning, my right eye started to swell and by the end of the day was swollen shut. I went to urgent care and was prescribed some Prednisone and lotion to put on the burns on my head and ears. My left ear also swelled up. There are burns all over the back of my ears, throughout my head and wherever the product touched my forehead.

I've used the product numerous times over the years. The last couple of times it was horrible. My face was swollen, it itched and oozed pus. I couldn't sleep on my face for a week. This is why we need the EPA. The product is produced in China and no telling what is out into the product. Something has change. We all should sue for pain and suffering. That will get their attention. Something is seriously wrong with this product and it should not be on the market!

I have used this product 'Just For Men Beard' with no trouble the past few years but have noticed a difference the last couple of purchases. About a week ago after using it, my skin became itchy. Blotches and pimples appeared under my beard and on my skin over the next few days. I awoke one morning about a week later after my face being itchy all night. I had hives of a sort, oozing. My beard was wet, face swollen and itching like crazy. I took the day off work and sat at the hospital emergency room for 5 hours. I thought I had contracted something somewhere and was put on Antibiotics for a week. Four days later, things were a lot better and I dyed my beard in some areas 'lightly'. BANG! Within 5 hours, I awoke itching, face swollen, oozing pimples and welts, face as red as can be and bleeding. It's 4 am. I've been up all night. I can't take another day off work because of this but I can hardly stand the pain.

I have been using JFM real black for over 10years. The recent box I used this Sept 2013 caused blistering with water oozing from the pores. JFM definitely changed their chemicals inside this product without notifying their customers.

Having used JFM with excellent results up to May 2013, since then I developed severe itchy skin reaction which can leave tiny pimples whose heads come away on any area that has come in contact with the lotion despite shampooing/rinsing fully after five minutes. This reaction can last up to a week and is quite worrying as no creams seem to give any relieve so I will not take the risk again and will discontinue its use. I would welcome any comments from the makers or have I missed same.

I have used this product for approximately 8 years and never had any problem until the last few weeks. The problems started with itching at the hair locations used but quickly spread to redness and irritation to the entire facial area. In areas of the beard, mustache, etc., the irritation turned to red rash with whelps that continue to itch and irritate for several days even without continued use. My only thought is that this company changed something in the formula because I never had a problem for years. I personally suggest this product be avoided completely and folks find a competitor product as I have done. I am pretty upset with the makers of Just-for-Men and am pretty certain I will never trust them again.

This was a new experience for me that turned out to be horrific... I don't think I need to go into details at this point considering how many others have had the same experience. I had the burning, itching, blistering and the pus that continued to drip so much it ruined several of my shirts. I can't believe that no one has filed a class action suit. The number of complaints will get bigger.

Have been using this product for the last 9 years but the last 3 applications have given me severe rash on my lips which itches and hurts. Can someone tell me (1) why this is happening and (2) how to resolve it?

Been a user of the JFM product for years with no issues. Starting with the purchase of the product in late June or so, I started to develop an itchy rash, with inflammation and watery-type oozing that would appear shortly after each application. The itching has been driving me crazy. I have a red irritating spot on my cheek 2"x 2" . It persists until the skin totally peels and flakes away. It's very noticeable and embarrassing to say the least. I see so many complaints. Luckily, my reaction isn't that bad as of yet. I see all the reactions that have been posted. but I see none that say that it has gone away. Still feels like a bad sunburn.

Been a user of the JFM product for years with no issues. Starting with the purchase of the product in late June or so, I started to develop an itchy rash, with inflammation and watery-type oozing that would appear shortly after each application. The itching has been driving me crazy and I've tried so many different ointments to stop the burning and itchy side effects. The only thing that works to stop it from itching is a Benadryl spray, but it really does nothing to stop the redness. It persists until the skin totally peels and flakes away. It's very noticeable and embarrassing to say the least.

I had a severe reaction to the product and had been using it for over a year, pain blisters and ooze and hurts really bad. Lucky I only had a small area and not a full beard. This product should be banned!!!

I have been using this product on my beard for a few years now (5 or 6 years) and never had any issues until recently. Same as so many others I've read here, I developed an itchy burning sensation all around applied area within hours of application. I thought I might have been doing something different while applying it but after reading some of the reviews on this page. I can see that I am experiencing the exact same results which tells me that not everyone can be making the same mistake.

I wrote on here back in July. This is when I started breaking out with sores from the beard dye. Since then, I've been on 3 doses of Prednisone pills (steroid) and have had 2 steroid shots because the pills did not work. I have not used this product since the first outbreak in July. I've never dyed my chest hair. However, this rash is still to this day down my back, terrible on my chest, up my neck and up my beard area... I also break out in sores here and there on my arms and face and have had one or two appear on my legs.

I've been using the JFM Mustache and Beard for about 2 years now and the last box I purchased about a month ago has caused itching and burning under my beard. I've also noticed redness, swelling and "watery" discharge from these swollen areas under my beard. I thought maybe it was just me, but after reading just about everyone else's experience with this product, I, too, believe they recently changed the chemicals with the new packaging change. I agree that this product needs to be taken off the market. I will be looking for another product to color my beard. A class action lawsuit is definitely a must.

I've used JFM in the past and never experienced any problems. Recently, I used the product and developed a rash, oozing sores and swelling along my chin and cheeks to the point that I couldn't leave my home and missed a week of work. I don't have any food allergies or skin problems and have not experienced any type of reaction of this nature until I recently used JFM. Therefore, the only conclusion I draw is JFM caused of my problem and I'd like to know what changes they may have made to the ingredients or production process that can induce such a reaction.

I have been a long time user of JFM hair color. I used the product twice a month for about 5 years with no issues. Starting at the end of August, I started having a bad reaction to the product. My head would begin to burn and after my scalp would be all inflamed and itchy. It was as if I went to the beach and got a really bad sunburn. For a few days, my head would ooze a clear liquid and leave nasty stains on my pillow. Then about 2-3 days later, my scalp would itch constantly and flake dead skin all over. It felt like I had some big scabs on there as well. Just when I thought it was over, another round of itching and flaking would begin.

My husband followed the directions to a tee, patch test and all. One day later, his head start to itch. By day 2, his head which is the shape of an oval was swollen to the shape of a circle!! With bumps all over his head, forehead and disgusting ones on his chin that even morphed his mustache. I AM FURIOUS. Their patch test obviously needs to be adjusted. WHERE IS THE CLASS ACTION ON THIS! Got to hit them where it hurts... their wallets.

I purchased the "Real Black" version of the Just for Men products last Sunday (9/22/2013). Once I got home, sampled the product, and completed a full treatment on my beard, problems developed within hours. As the day progressed, my beard became extremely itchy, and my skin began peeling. I used a soothing cream over my beard, and my cheeks started to swell up by the end of the day. On day two, my beard still itched, and I began to break out around my mouth. By the end of day two, my tonsils began to swell in addition to the previous conditions mentioned. I took Ibuprofen and an allergy medication to treat the adverse reactions from the dyeing product.

The JFM Autostop works great on the mustache, and instead of buying it once a month, you only have to buy it once a year!

I've used this the medium/dark beard dye for over 10 years with no problems, with an application about twice per week. About mid-August I got an itchy welt on the side of my mustache that wept clear fluid, then another under my chin and one on the opposite side. About 2 weeks later I got weeping red bumps on my upper and lower lip edges. I've been taking Valtrex, Abbreva and finally Acyclovir for herpes and nothing worked. Finally had a culture that came back negative for herpes. Doc wants more tests for fungus or bacteria. Right in the middle of my chest I have a gray patch that I hit with the dye sometimes and I'm now making the connection after reading all the posts here. I have a major itchy welted rash there that started last week.

I've used JFM for over 10 years with absolutely no problem whatsoever. Just yesterday, I colored my goatee in the morning. That night, my chin was extremely itchy. I thought it might have been the JFM, but thought nothing of it. By the end of my evening out, I was itchy all over my body, had broken out in hives, and my lips were swollen. I spent the night in the ER getting Prednisone and Benadryl and an IV. The ER thinks it can't have anything to do with the JFM and assumes it's a food allergy, which is strange because I am 51 and have never had a food allergy ever. Once I came home and looked online, I'm thinking the JFM is to blame. Interesting to see so many long time users suddenly having problems. I think some sort of Legal action is necessary before someone has a worse reaction than me!

Used product for about 1.5 years with great results. However, the last two times I developed blisters that oozed a clear liquid and crusted over. The first time it happened, the blister was near my lower lip. I did not realize it was from the beard dye as the blister healed after 4 days and I thought it was a fever blister (which bummed me out to no end as I never had a fever blister before). I (foolishly) used the product this morning and within a few hours had a large red "burn" spot on my chin and by end of the day, it turned into a blister. I am so embarrassed that I am thinking of skipping more work. Evil, evil, eeeeevil! JFM should be sued as this product is bad! I spent last couple of hours browsing the internet and feel some relief knowing that hundreds of others had the same results.

I had been using Just For Men on my sideburns and mustache for years with no problems until around March of this year when I started to notice pimple-like scabs forming on my left sideburn. This was followed months later by hair loss on the sideburn on the right side. No reaction in the area of the mustache however. After reading through all the complaints, I see many other men experiencing similar bizarre side effects so something has obviously changed and it may be they changed the formula to save money or something, who knows. So my question, is there a class action suit against the company so we can find out what's really going on here?

I have used their product (black or dark brown) for a couple of years without problems, but the last three times I used gave me a terrible burning rash... dry and bleeding. I stopped using it for a couple of months and my facial skin and scalp got better... Then I made the mistake of using the rest of the tubes and my face, lips, skin around my ears had a terrible reaction. I am sure that this product is dangerous and should be taken off the market. I have made an appointment with my doctor and has referred me to a dermatologist. This product is dangerous and should be taken off the market. Bad company... bad people. I would be very surprised if they do not know the pain and problems they are causing people who give them money.

I have used the product for over 2 years and last month I broke out in a rash around lips and cheeks. Went to a doctor and they advise me they thought it was dermatitis. They gave me a cream for the rash. It didn't work. Went for a follow up and I told them if they thought it could be the dye I was using. The following week and went and brought the box of JFM and they advise me this is the worst thing I could use. The rash now is on my elbows, knees, lips, eyelids, neck, and head. I stopped using it... but does it go away?

Like most of all of the responses that I've read online my experiences are very similar. To the point that I didn't think I should even add my story, because it all has been said before. But the more that I think about it, the more we need to share our experience so they take this product off the shelves so other men don't have the same issues as we did. Something happened to their product because when I first started using it I didn't have these side effects. I've been using the product for over a year and sometime at the beginning of the year 2013, I noticed red sores that popped up after a couple of days after using the product. They would scab and then itch like crazy, to the point that I would scratch them open again only for them to ooze with pus.

Face is burning with crust white skin falling off. I used the Just For Men light brown beard dye. This is a horrible product.

Like so many others here, I also did the spot test without incident. I am a performer who began to grey at a very early age so I've always kept my hair shaved. However, I have new performances and events beginning this week and wanted to have a new look so I grew my beard and used Just for Men. I followed the directions to the letter and four hours later, in the middle of my event, my face started to itch and a rash started on the side of my face. Interestingly, the instructions say that if a reaction happens during application to immediate rinse it out - however, what about when the product is ALREADY washed off and the reaction develops later. I came home and rinsed my face in cold water for relief.

I have used Just For Men in the past a couple of times with no problems. I've used it to take the grey out of my beard. Last night my girlfriend and I decided she would dye my beard, and hair alike. The application went fine, but a few minutes into it, I started to feel a slight burn under my chin, and on my scalp. We followed directions to the letter, and hit in the shower to rinse exactly five minutes after the application was complete on the beard, and ten minutes after application on the hair. I went to bed and began to feel itching. In the middle of the night the itching and burning began to increase, and no lotion or cream I put on would help. I'm at work right now, and miserable! I have red raised sores everywhere the dye was applied. It's a little painful, and the itching is about to drive me crazy!

I have been using this product for many years. Although my skin would sometimes burn or itch, it would usually go away. Lately I have developed a rash on my neck that will not go away. I think they have definitely changed the formula to this product.

Grew a goatee for the first time and started using JFM. Broke out in a skin rash on my chest and arm. At that time, I didn't make the connection. After 2 packs of Methylprednisolone the rash went away. Also I shaved the goatee. Then I decided to try the JFM on my hair. Wow big mistake. Have a terrible rash like (hives) on my neck, face and incredible itchy scalp. Also notice red marks all over my arms. Clinic gave me 7 days of Prednisone which took away the rash. Unfortunately about 2 days after my meds ran out, the rash reappeared worse than before. Heading back to the doc today but do not want to stay on Prednisone due to side effects. Have tried every over the counter cream and even doctor-prescribed steroidal cream has little impact. It has been 6 weeks for me and still no relief!! Even went so far as to spray all affected areas daily with hydrogen peroxide. I am afraid the dye got into my bloodstream.

Started using JFM August 2012. No problems until March 2013. This product should be banned. What a nightmare. Still recovering, a week of suffering crusty blisters oozing water.. Still scratching my face off. They have changed a chemical in the product in Feb 2013 when the packaging changed. Come on JFM, get this sorted out. More like JUST FOR MUGS. Thought I was the only one. Clearly I was wrong. JFM have their backs covered as it states on the packaging and the tubes regarding severe allergies and blindness. A lawsuit would fall on death ears. Almost impossible to find a natural beard dye here in the UK so have purchased some from the USA. If I have to apply this for days at a time then so be it. Can not go through this again. And this stuff ain't cheap. It's like having battery acid on your face.

My teenage son used Just for Men one week ago today. Since then he has developed hundreds of small weeping sores on his upper lip and has had facial swelling on his lips and nose. We went to Urgent Care 5 days ago, received an oral and topical medication, and he is getting worse! We have a dermatology appointment on Monday. The Just for Men was left on less than 4 minutes and has absolutely destroyed his upper lip.

I have been used Just For Men for 8 years and nothing has ever gone wrong, but the last time I used it 5 days ago (July 26, 2013), I woke up with huge red bumps and swelling all around my mouth and face. Looks like I got stung in the face by bees. They must have changed something in the formula. I just got back from the doctors and had a steroid shot and am now taking 4 different medications. Incredibly painfully. Have missed 3 days of work. Highly recommend that no one uses this product. Just For Men beard dye. I live in Scottsdale, AZ, and when I saw my doctor, he told me this is the third case he has had in two weeks. I am definitely going to pursue a legally.

I have used JFM in the past with great results, but all of a sudden, the last 2 times was terrible! The first time I used it, I thought it must have been my skin exposed to too much sun. Blisters formed in my beard and I couldn't sleep for the discomfort. The 2nd time I used it, I only left it on my face for 3 minutes. I am on my 7th day now and my skin is still falling off around my mouth and chin. This product is dangerous and needs to be removed from consumers' reach!! I think legal action should be taken and compensation should be granted to those who have suffered!!

I've used Just For Men beard twice in the last 2 months. Both times my upper lip formed huge bumps that were very painful. The bumps drained out ooze for about a week and looked like I had herpes all over my lip. I went to two different doctors. Finally got an antibiotic from second doctor. I missed two days of work going to doctors. This week it happened again. That's when I looked up this website and saw other people having these problems. I will never use Just For Men again. Anyone have suggestions on getting relief from these awful sores.

I have reported that my husband drastically broke out in the same manner as these other users of Just For Men beard dye. He has been on prednisone for 3 days, no change. Has anyone else used prednisone for this rash? If so, how long does it take to kick in? Benadryl does not help at all. :-( He is miserable.

My husband was using JFM for the past year. All of a sudden, last month, he started breaking out in these oozing blisters on his face. He immediately quit using the beard dye. It's been 3 weeks since he hasn't used it. The rash has moved to his chest, back and fingers...a ton of these itchy blisters! He is now on a steroid and Benadryl. We have no idea how long this will last. Every day new blisters are appearing. How do we stop this from being sold on the market??? I've read hundreds of similar stories from JFM users.

I searched the internet today to see if anyone had experienced these unusual reactions to JFM beard coloring. To my surprise, everyone is having the same issues as I. I've used JFM in the past with no issues. I recently decided to purchase the product again and the outcome is horrible. I applied it in the morning and the coloring was great. Around midday, the extreme itching started followed by redness where everyone at my job noticed. I'm now developing blisters that release some sort of liquid. Completely disgusting and unacceptable. I now know that it's not just me but a common issue. How can this product be on the shelves? Should I obtain legal counsel to look into this? Has anyone done so?

As so many have stated, I believe the product was changed, perhaps to save money or given to the Chinese, noted for their agreeing to do one thing, then altering products with cheaper goods, chemicals, etc. This requires investigation and from reading everything below, a lawsuit certainly seems in order, if for no other reason to find out the truth of why we are experiencing such inconvenience. This is painful, does not clear up quickly and as I write, I am over a month suffering with this itching, oozing, blotchy skin. I have had to shave my thirty year beard and now my raw skin is exposed for its rash causing many to comment on how sick I look.

Sunday July 14, 2013, I decided to use the Just For Men that I had purchase a few days. I followed the instructions and applied the product to my mustache and beard. I was very happy with the results until Monday evening. My chin, lower cheek area and upper lip began to get bumpy and swell. Some places on my chin and cheeks began to weep. The itching was almost unbearable. My wife gave me a dose of Benadryl. Today is Tuesday. I am using hydrogen peroxide on cotton balls to get through the day with the itching will at work, but if these symptoms don't improve very soon I feel a trip to the doctor will be in order.

I began using Just For Men Mustache and Beard in April of this year. The first few times I used it without incident, but then I developed itching, burning and sores that leaked. Lately I have also noticed a strange feeling in my fingertips that doesn't make sense. I recently had a physical and all test were normal, so I don't think it is health related. I stopped using the product weeks ago, and my face is almost healed with the exception of a few areas. I went online to see if I could find others with the same problem before I tried it again, and am I glad I did! I will not use this product in the future. I am curious though if others have experienced the feeling in fingertips or other areas.

Hello everyone! I am a 50-year-old man, and have been using "Just For Men" for a year now. I swear to god every night when I sleep I feel something "crawling" on me... Last night I got up and looked in the mirror and noticed what looked like "bug bites", didn't know if it was bed bugs (our mattress is brand new!), or maybe a flea bite (our 5-pound dog sleeps with us) but then I asked my wife and she did NOT get bitten like me...

Similar to everyone else... I have been using JFM since 2009. Recently, when applying the M-30 Light/Medium Brown, I experienced a severe burning sensation upon application and extreme itching afterwards. I have now developed these blisters on my top lip that ooze water... almost like when you blister from a burn. I can't seem to get these to heal. I first thought they were fever blisters/cold sores (I've never had them before and I'm 47) and bought all the creams to deal with them, but no luck healing them up. I'm sorry that everyone seems to be having the same issue, but glad to know it’s not just me. This is driving me crazy... not to mention how bad these blisters look.

I tried Just For Men for my mustache and beard. Liked the color, but it had a very bad reaction to my skin. The itching and sores were awful. Just For Men has allergy warnings, but the reactions happened in the following week. No spot test, as mentioned, would keep this from happening. I am now using a henna natural dye. It smells like the livestock show, and you have to keep it on for an hour. Results may take a couple of applications, but it leaves the skin moisturized and helps to heal the wounds. I like the color now from the natural formula I found. I would suggest it to anyone who has suffered from JFM. I do not know why JFM does not offer a natural formula.

I have used JFM product many times before, with minimum discomfort. This last purchase of medium brown # M40 I experienced painful burning, irresistible itching, swollen lips and blisters on my chin. The pain was so intense I had to shave my goatee completely off! I have had a beard for the last 20 years; now it is gone. I feel naked. This is my third day of the shaving. My face and lips are still burning as I write this review. Aloe Vera Lotion helps the pain somewhat.

I purchased a box of the Just for Men mustache and beard product about two weeks ago. My fiancée wanted to see what I looked like when I was younger. Well, I tried the patch test and waited a few days; nothing occurred. On June 28, 2013, I decided to surprise her when she came in from work. She liked it, but told me she still loved me with my gray. As the night went on, I began feeling dizzy, itchy skin began to burn hot, my head began to hurt real badly and I couldn’t get to sleep. I immediately knew it was this product. As I’m typing this, my head is still spinning. I hope this passes soon. I hate going to the hospital, but if this continues, I will be heading into the ER. Buyer, beware! I had no idea this many men from all over have already suffered from this product. From now on, I will Google everything before I apply it to my skin if I have not used it before.

I have used Just For Men for years. Now all of a sudden, my skin turned red, itched so bad it woke me up, skin peeled, oozed and weeps. I thought maybe I had a bad batch, maybe I left it on too long, etc. They must have changed something about this stuff, but I will never use it again.

I have used Just for Men Beard for a few years but the last two batches have given me a horrible rash accompanied with itching and weeping, which appears to be pus on my chin and right cheek. The first time it happened, I thought it was a weird reaction to a bug bite but when it happened the second time, I knew it was the Just For Men product. From what I've read online with people having the same reaction, it's obvious they changed the formula. I won't use the product again. It has taken me about 2 weeks to get over the reaction. It's been a horrible experience. This product needs to be pulled from the shelves.

The first few times I used the product, my skin had no reaction. The third time wasn't the charm. I've been dealing with itching and burning going on 4 days now. Don't think that if you try a sample of it and have no reaction that it is safe to use the product. AVOID THIS PRODUCT. The misery is not worth it.

I had the same results as everyone else. Horrible. I am sitting here now with a burning, itching face. If there is legal action, sign me up. Horrible product. I got up in the middle of the night last night with my face on fire.

In Germany too! - I thought my skin had changed. I thought maybe I stayed out in the sun too long after applying the product. I thought maybe, just maybe, I'd been leaving it on too long. So the last time I applied the product, I even put a timer on my phone so as to be 100% sure that I would not overdo it. Needless to say, my experience with this product that I have used now for 3 plus years has in recent months caused me hours of speculation - what could I be doing wrong?! Nothing.

I bought Just for Men and started using it to remove the gray from my hair. Well, about one week later, my scalp started to itch. I started to scratch at the various spots on top of my head where it was itching. This went on into the following week, and I could not figure out what was going on. The itching also started under my armpits and around my genital areas, and it got worse over time. I could feel like little pimples on my scalp. When I scratched them, puss came out. I still thought to myself that this was temporary.

I just started using this stuff about my 6th-7th time, and I have noticed things progressively getting worse with each treatment. The first three went all right, but after that the itching and dried skin started, now I have a raw rash and some parts of my skin are stained - so before the next time, and I screw up my face anymore, that will be all for this Just For Men nonsense. The fact is that I have coarse hair and it only lasts about 2 days and now the white hair stands out even more against the stained skin - so this stuff actually makes the grays stand out more - go figure. How's that for a BS reverse working product that makes it worse but also harms you?

I've been using JFM for over 6 years and never had any problems. Since February-March this year, I noticed that I started to develop an itch and redness, then turn into "swollen bumps". Does anyone know if they changed the formula?

I used Just For Men face and beard product after the 48-hour skin test and I had blisters and bumps everywhere. I was rushed to the ER and was kept at the hospital until my blood pressure decreased. They promised to pay my doctor bills and work lost wages but they have not yet!

My whole face and lips are on fire, all red and burns very bad. I have a mole on my face and it seems like it filled up with blood and is raised up and my face is swollen. This is crazy and painful.

I also experienced the same type of symptoms - horrible itching and blistering with pus and oozing. My whole chin turned into a solid scab. It has mostly healed now but I keep getting itching sensations and keep getting blister-like bumps that are itching. I will probably go see my doctor now that it doesn't seem to completely go away. I will never use this product again and I am also thinking of legal action. This company needs to be held accountable for putting out a product that does this and they know it!

I just want to comment on Just For Men. I have used this product for a while. Just last week, this product has destroyed/burned my face. My face became swollen and hard every other day and it seemed like it was never going to heal. I applied Just For Men to my beard and mustache and this product took my hair off and burned my skin. It is the worst itch I have ever experienced. I took pictures of the burn mark. My facial hair was replaced by a big burn mark and bumps with pus. I don't know what is in this product but a class action lawsuit should be brewing.

Same issue. I've been using JFM for months and no issues. This new batch burned my face so bad. Same issues as others - burning, oozing, itching, scabbing, etc. I have a meeting in a couple of days and I hope it's gone by then.

I did the skin test like everyone else with no problem on a small area, so I decided to use the product and then it hit me: itching, burning and blisters, headache and no relief. The company should be sued in a class action lawsuit for damages, pain and suffering for all of us. I have never ever sued anyone or any company but this company should take responsibility for their product and take it off the shelf. I will tell everyone and I am going to my local news to put this company on blast for an unsafe product.

I have been using JFM beard coloring for approximately the last two years for my goatee/mustache. I never really experienced any problems. I would have some minor itching, but nothing like this. I probably use it, hmm, about once every 8-10 days to get the grey out. I used it a few days ago and developed a red rash on my chin. The itching is so bad and I've never experienced all these tiny pimples that (I don't mean to sound gross, lol!) ooze a watery/oily discharge. Every minute or two, I have to wipe my chin and all this watery crap comes off, and my chin is red as an apple?! I will never use this again, and I will tell my friends who use it to also stop. Any help would be appreciated (home remedy/OTC). I don't feel like going through the hassle of doctor's appointment.

Just like many of the other reviews, I have used JFM for years. Within the last 6 weeks, I have been struggling with a severe rash. Initially it was intense itching, followed by blisters on lips and face. I also ended up shaving my goatee and sought out expert help from a dermatologist. I was given Atrapro for wounds and itching and Cloderm for swollen areas. It took 3 days for pain and itching to subside but it worked. When I told my dermatologist that I have used JFM for years with no effect, he said they are probably purchasing their ingredients from somewhere else to save on cost. I'll never use JFM again...

I have been using the JFM Mustache and Beard Gel for a few years without a problem, until now. The last box I bought began with itching and progressed to severe itching, upon which I discovered a large blister that was oozing on the front of my chin under my goatee. I carefully shaved my goatee off and found a nasty, open blister, and my entire chin was broken out in a nasty raised red rash. I will never use this again.

My husband has been using Just For Men for about 4 years now. He never had a problem until a week ago. Now his face is swollen with blisters that are constantly draining. He is embarrassed to go out in public because of this. He gets no rest at night because he is constantly itching. We have been to the ER twice in three days and there is nothing helping. It seems as if this is getting worse. I have tried buying over the counter meds as well. Something has to be done about this because it makes no sense. I am looking into this matter further and will take legal action if possible. I know the owners look at this website and see the complaints that buyers are leaving, and still there is nothing being done about the situation.

I applied it according to the directions and my face was itching and blistered very bad. Like others said, I used it before and had no problem. But now as I'm typing this, my face is itching, burning, and I have a very bad rash.

I have been using JFM for 15 years with no problems until recently when I suffered serious itching of the scalp. Until I became aware of this forum, I did not link the JFM with the condition and have just brought 4 more packs, which I will now be returning to the shop. As mentioned by many other users, JFM must have changed their chemicals. Shame really, as I used to love this product but will no longer use JFM.

I used the product for around a year with good results and no issues. Last batch I purchased has caused sores, extreme chapped and cracked lips, swelling, pain, itching, extreme rash, eczema and swollen eyes. This product should be banned. I have been dealing with these issues for nearly two months now and not sure when and if things will get back to normal.

I have used Just For Men for years. Recently, I used it only to wake up in the morning to see half my face swollen and itching. It presented blister, redness and dry skin with an overwhelming itch. I drove myself to the nearest emergency room where I was told that I had an allergic reaction to Just For Men. The product had recently changed and the effects are evident. I was put on steroids to get the numbing and tingling feeling off my face. I made two trips to the ER in four days. A very costly Just For Men product. Someone must pay! This isn't how business is conducted. I see from the complaints that I am not the only one who had suffered from this product. The company must make amends.

Just like most of the other men who have recently complained about this product, I, too, have used JFM for years without any issues in the past. In the last few months, I noticed after I would use the product that I would itch in certain areas on my face under my hair. I finally decided to shave my entire face to see what was going on and I noticed that I have four dark rough patches that seem like a rash. I tried a few over the counter products to get rid of these patches and none have worked. I finally went to a dermatologist who prescribed a medicated ointment to take for 2 weeks. Hopefully this ointment works, because if not, I want the makers of JFM to be held accountable for any and all medical procedures I may need to clear these patches off my skin.

If you didn't have a problem for years but now have weepy, nasty blisters, it is because you became sensitized JFM ingredients p-Aminophenol or p-Phenylenediamine or both. You can expect subsequent exposures to cause blisters that happen faster and are worse. You are also likely to have a reaction to any aromatic amine from any source for the rest of your life. That said, if it hurts when you do something, don't do it. I suggest you use Henna dye. It is more of a hassle but it sure looks better than JFM if you get the color right. Google "henna." You will find some safe products out there. As for JFM, they know about the problem but have no incentive to fix the product. If JFM fails, they will probably just walk away. They have plenty of disclaimers and nobody is forcing you to use it.

Overseeing a grand opening of a new store, I decided to touch up my goatee and mustache as I've done for years. I bought a new box of light brown JFM beard coloring. I left it in 4 minutes to keep it lighter for a better match, same as I've always done. This time, I noticed a burning and itching within ten minutes of washing it out. Within an hour, I could not stand the pain and was using ice packs to relieve it, to no avail. It kept me awake most of the night. I developed the red bumps that started oozing puss. My lips must have gotten some of the mix on them as they dried so bad and started peeling and cracking, causing bleeding.

Using the Just for Men real black hair color and beard & mustache hair color - Most of the time, I experience severe itching, burning sensation, severe wheezing, breathlessness, bumps and boils in the scalp, neck areas, red eyes. The bumps in neck are kind of permanent now.

I could have written the very same message as "Chris of Warren, ME on March 4, 2013". I used this product with great results for years and now have been gray for weeks trying to get the burns to heal. The formula had to be changed! I sent a note to the company and have been ignored. They need to recall this product immediately. Is there a lawyer amongst the victims who want to take this one on? FYI, I was able to get some relief by using a product called Scar Zone Burn Gel; I found it at a Rite Aid.

I too have been using Just For Men for several years now with no problems until recently. I've had the same issues as others: red irritation, blistering and oozing.

After using the product JFM for over two years, my husband found himself in the ER with chemical burns to his face. The product was purchased in Dearborn, MI. Red, puss, burning beard and intense pain. Count us in the lawsuits.

JFM Light Brown Beard Dye - I have used this product before, moustache and beard. I used it two days ago and today I had to take off work today due to the unbearable and awful looking red rash (blistering, burning). This product should not be on the market.

All I can really say here with absolute certainty is that I now know that it's not just me! I have used this product for the past six or seven years, and have never had a problem. I did do the skin test the first time with no issues. I had stopped using the product for about a year, so when I started use again, I did the test again, and still had no problems. I have been using the product about every two and a half weeks consistently since 2007, and until about November of 2012, I had no problems, but then began to notice skin irritation after use. Around January, I noticed that the consistency of the product was a bit different when I mixed it up. The packaging was slightly different as well. I also noticed that the caps on the tubes were very hard to remove. The big surprise was the redness, burning, and itching after use. I also had an issue with my whole face swelling up! I had a fairly long beard length which made it difficult to see just how much swelling and skin irritation was going on.

My boyfriend has been using this product for a couple of months, and all of a sudden, it blew up in his face. After he used this product, he experienced itchy, burning and a lot of leaky pus. This is the worst experience he has ever had with any product. We are interested in getting a lawyer for all expenses and pain and suffering he has been through. Has anyone had any luck with a lawyer with this product?

Relief remedy at the end of my review. Just like everyone else here, I used Just For Men to dye my beard. Just like everyone else here, I had a horrible rash with burning so intense I could not sleep. For two days, I tried washing my face repeatedly and used wash rags over my beard for relief but that did not help. During the third sleepless night in desperation, I trimmed off my beard to reveal the rash, red bumps and crusted puss covered my face. With a warm wet face cloth over my face, I finally went to sleep. It has been a total of 5 days now and my face is still itchy. I've tried Benadryl and that hasn't helped. Finally, once again in the middle of the night, I rubbed olive oil all over my face and it worked! Olive oil! No itching for the rest of the night. Try it.

I had the same problem as everyone else here. I stopped using this product months ago. Problem stopped. I was going to phone the JFM company to see if they have changed back to when their product was satisfactory. No answer. They were closed for the day, but I was amazed with all the favorable reviews their product received on their site. Seems to me, with all these complaints, these people would be out of biz by now and not getting good reviews. I'll call again tomorrow. Possibly I will be told, "What complaints? We don't know about any complaints."

I used Just for Men Mustache and Beard dye and within a few hours, my face became very irritated and red. By the following morning it was bleeding, had pus, and was very swollen. Nothing seems to give relief. This product should be removed from store shelves immediately. Looks like I will have to suffer through this one for awhile. Just for Men is a joke; unfortunately, the joke's on me this time. Do not use this stuff!

I had the exact reaction to the JFM light brown beard dye: itching, burning, redness, oozing pustules (the oozing is the worst part; it doesn't stop). Putting Vicks Salve on helps with some of the itching and redness. After that, I used pure aloe gel from GNC (refrigerated makes it feel even better). Apparently, this product really sucks!

I tried Just For Men for my mustache to get it darker. I have about 10 percent of gray and was coloring up to get ready to go for an interview. I followed the direction and tried a skin patch by my left elbow for 48 hours and did not have any issues. After 24 hours of using the product, I started to get irritation and noticed that I was getting bumps on the skin underneath my mustache. Later in the day, I started getting itching and oozing of yellow liquid. 48 hours later, I started to get flaking of the skin. I called the number from the box and talked to a representative which was very helpful and informative. I am going on 72 hours and still have the same symptoms. I have made a doctor's appointment and hopefully I can get some relief. I used cold water compresses when it itches. I'm not rubbing it and loosening the hardening of the yellow liquid as it crusts underneath the mustache. I am also using Neosporin to keep the area moist and free of infection. Please include me in any legal action against this company.

I have been using JFM for at least two years and it does a great job until two months ago. My beard always felt great after using this. Now, it feels like someone used gasoline. Why would anyone hurt people like this? Oh that's right, greed! God forgive them for all the people they have hurt and will hurt. I hope this helps. I have been using hydrocortisone cream and face cream to try and reduce this.

My husband followed the instructions for the patch skin test, and he followed the instructions precisely. He proceeded to apply after the skin test seemed ok. His face is swollen, oozing, and weeping. At home treatment is not working. We may well be on our way to the ER of a hospital. He has major chemical burns and allergic reaction. The FDA needs to pull this company off the market and fine them. We will be looking for an attorney.

My husband has used JFM for years. But the last two applications, it has left his skin burning, itching, flaking and oozing pus. The first application broke him out just about everywhere on his body. Nothing in his regular routine has changed so I can only believe something has changed with the JFM formula. This was a horrible experience for my husband. If there is a lawsuit, count us in. We will provide photos to an attorney.

Please read entire post or you may want to skim ahead to the heading of what I did that seemed to offer a little relief. Maybe it will give you some better idea of how to help yourself.

I used this product for my goatee and had terrible results. I left it on for less than 2 minutes and later had terrible itching followed by swelling, blisters and drainage! This product has ruined my face; drainage and swelling are still happening after the 2nd day. My chin is twice the normal size.

I have used Just For Men beard color for many years and in the past few months, I have experienced a burning, itching, red skin, flaking and painful experience with the product. Nothing in my regular routine has changed so I can only believe something has changed with the JFM formula. I read the complaints by the others on this site and am experiencing the same symptoms. Have they changed product suppliers or getting chemicals from overseas (China)? Too many similar complaints and symptoms for it to be coincidental.

I've tried using Just For Men mustache and beard dye with very serious problems. My experience is exactly the same outcome as others have posted on this product; it's not an application problem. I've read all the instructions and applied per the instructions. It's a problem with a product that is causing blisters and burns any part of the skin that it's applied to. I thought maybe I should try a lighter color that might have less dye. There's no difference. I am very surprised the FDA continues to allow Just For Men to be sold. It's a dangerous product for my skin and obviously for many others.

I have used your product for my beard and mustache for many years. I am careful to follow your instructions each time I use it. Apparently, within the last two months, my face breaks out into blisters under my mustache. When I touch my face, the blisters pop and spreads and produces a dreadful itch. I am wondering if the formula has been changed or some of the chemicals have been substituted. I am in law enforcement, so this is embarrassing and painful.

I was a recent consumer of your product and had a very bad experience. I purchased this product at Wal-Mart at 2900 South Memorial Pkwy in Huntsville, Alabama approximately around December 16th, 2012. After doing a skin test per instructions of your box, I did not experience any reactions that would inform me not to proceed forward and blend my beard. Within 24 hours, my face became severely red and bumps appeared. I was scheduled to go out of town on family medical reasons involving my son and could not deter my plans. During my travels, I was forced to go to the Petersburg Virginia ER because of this severe reaction that developed from the use of your product. I have photos that I am willing to email to you. I am not certain why I had this reaction and did not get an immediate reaction where I waited many hours after the initial skin test.

I wish I had come across this forum before I tried this product. Like others, I did the test and had no reaction to the product. I used it weekly for almost a month and then something went seriously wrong. The product really burned my face - skin redness and oozing like others have reported. A couple of days I almost scratched my face off; I was so itchy. The product is harsh! The color is not accurate either. I left it on for only 4 minutes and it came out a lot darker than I expected. I'm just waiting to heal and looking forward to trying the Clairol product and keep my fingers crossed.

Helpful treatment for the itch is the Benadryl Extra Strength Itch Gel from Walgreens or Walmart. It burns like hell but helps. My husband had an awful reaction to JFM, burning, itching, flaking, oozing. He was treated at the ER with steroids, etc. They tried everything and it still itched and burned after a week. He applied the gel. Again, it burned like hell, and he sat in front of a fan to speed up the drying process - it actually stops the itching for about 6 hours at a time. Don't use the gel on your skin if you're taking other Benadryl type product - check instructions on the bottle.

I have used J4M on my beard 3 times now and, the third time, something happened. I had blisters and pus and itchy skin falling off my face. I can't stand it anymore. There should be some kind of lawsuit for all the pain I am suffering. I am with all of you men out there and if we stand up as one, we can beat this. Help us get this product checked out or pulled off the shelves. No person should suffer like this. I am sitting here in my chair as I write this, with a cold wet cloth on my face just to ease a little pain.

I have just started using JFM beard dye (black) to cover the grey in my rather short goatee and mustache. Since I bought the initial 2 tubes, I have used the product 4 times. The product comes in 2 tubes that you mix in equal parts at the time of application, and it is reusable if you do not use all of it. The instructions say to apply a bit of it and wait a while to see if your skin has a negative reaction before a full application is applied. The first time I applied JFM, I did the test and I passed. The next day, I did a full application, and although I did feel a little itch, overall I was ok with it. I always time applications at 4 minutes after I have brushed it on. I began to apply the product about every 1 1/2 weeks, as I shaved and greyed. Although at first I did not know that the itch was contributed to the dye, I began to notice that after each time, my chin seemed to be a little itchier and redder than the time before. And the itch would last a little longer (1 day first app, 2 second app, etc.).

I just grew back my beard this past couple weeks, and having used JFM in the past, I bought another box of light brown. Well, I'm experiencing similar side effects to what others have described: itching, redness and some blisters. Something seems terribly wrong with this product!

It has been a few months that I decided to grow a beard. So every time I used this product, JFM, it is nightmare for weeks - burns, itches and scars, redness on my face especially during night. I get up many times and put ice patch on my face to avoid burnt face. I don't know what they are selling to people. I guess FDA must check the product and make sure this is safe to use. No one should go through all this pain and suffering because we, as consumers, trust the product and pay for it. The result is suffering. The factory of JFM is responsible for selling dangerous product and should pay for all the suffering and discomfort that have been created by JFM.

It's been over a week since I've used JFM mustache and beard dye and my images below should say it all. I've used this product in the past with no problems. But recently, it's been horrible! I've been in so much discomfort. It's unbelievable. I can't even let my children touch my face; let alone, kiss me goodnight because of the results of this product. I would not wish this on anyone nor would I recommend anyone use it. Please, someone do something about this. I don't want to see anyone suffer like I am.

JFM must have changed their formula! - I am on my second dark beard JFM tubes because the first one had the cap on the colorant tube break off. Well guess what? The new one did the same thing! This time I took a close look at the broken screw neck and it is melting! They have made the colorant so caustic that the product is destroying their container! The first time this happened, I thought I tightened it too tight. Well the fact that I have been using this for years and never had this happen and now twice in a row the cap breaks off, certainly tells me something. I am done with JFM!

I have used JFM for many years. It was not until recently I started experiencing the most uncomfortable, unbearable, constant itching, irritating, and yes find myself waking up through the night as a result of the itching of my upper lips, lower lips, and both sides of my face. It is truly unbearable and irritating. The pus dries up and turns crusted. As I am writing this, now I am experiencing the itch.

I used this product for the last 3 or 4 years without any issues whatsoever. Now, all of a sudden, it has given me burns all over my chin and upper lips combined with a deep, intense, itching. I have never experienced a reaction like this and this is very severe. Did they change the formula? I'm walking around with scabs and blisters and the pain is intense.

Skin burns - I have used this product for over a few years span. It's just within the last few months that it has burned my skin! They changed something.

I used this product last year for a few times and had no issues. I used it twice over the past few weeks and it burned my skin pretty bad. The first time I used it this past few weeks, it burned so much and itched so bad it was terrible. I only put it on for a few minutes and followed the instructions. I thought I would give it another try and not leave it on so long, thinking maybe I left it on too long. The last time I did it, I put it on for only 90 seconds just to see if it was going to irritate my skin. Well the next day, I was back to itching so much and it again burned my skin to include my lips. This product is not safe and should be pulled immediately.

My boyfriend used Just For Men beard/mustache dye for the first time this last week. Within two days of application, his chin started burning, was severely red and swollen. He quickly shaved off his goatee. Then, his chin started bleeding, oozing pus, cracking and doubling in size. It has been two days of this so far and it still looked about the same. I am a nurse, so I've been having him use Hydrocortisone Cream which he stated, burns horribly. I also gave him Benadryl last night, which he stated helped him sleep if anything. He has no insurance and does not want to pay for a doctor but I am very concerned.

I used this product only once and the results have been extremely detrimental to my well-being. I used the Just For Men mustache and beard dye exactly as specified in the directions. By the next day, my face and lips were in such pain that I didn't know what to do! My lips have swollen up twice their normal size and were extremely sensitive. My chin and the sides of my face were oozing a clear liquid, and my chin was severely cracked in multiple places. Above my top lip, the entire mustache area was crusted over with deep scabs. This product is absolutely harmful to use and needs to be taken off the shelves immediately. It has already been 5 days, but I am still suffering the effects of the hair dye. Do not use this product!

Don't use this product. I have a small goatee so I don't need much of the JFM. I have used it for several years with no problems until, I don't recall, maybe 7 or 8 months ago. I started getting a burning, itching sensation (and some rash, no oozing) soon after application, which would last for days and days. I have stopped using this stuff now for maybe 6 weeks. All is well. Someone had suggested using a mascara brush, so I do this now until I find another "safe" product that will last longer than the mascara.

Being a previous user of the product, I purchased the JFM beard/ mustache product this past week. I woke up the next morning with itchy, irritated skin. I had to shave off beard to find swollen, pus-filled bumps/rash all over the face. It has been 5 days, it's still there and I'm still suffering. A class action lawsuit should be, at a minimum, the next step here... I'm in.

I used I guess the latest formula put out by Just for Men and experienced the most awful chemical burns and allergy symptoms. My entire face is swollen and disfigured. I am too embarrassed to make important meetings without making excuses to cover my face. I am in constant pain and the swelling and itching is unbearable to deal with. I have been disfigured by this product. It should be removed immediately from the stores, the public needs to be protected. I am going to the hospital tomorrow because I cannot stand the pain, I can't even sleep. I even have open sores, oozing liquid, and I even got a swollen finger in the area of the fingernail,

I recently wanted to change my beard color and bought Just For Men for this application. I followed the directions to the tee but noticed that I had some burning and irritation. The next morning, the pain was so severe that I had scabs, scarring and ** blisters under my beard. Here it is day 5 from removal and my face is completely dried out, and I have red rashes up and down my cheeks. My mustache area is completely scabbed over and my chin is dry and cracking. I would add an image but it's far too embarrassing. I think this product is definitely dangerous and should be held accountable.

About a week ago, my uncle used Just For Men hair color. And we followed all the directions that were labeled on the box and after that use, he started forming water blisters behind the ear and severe blood blisters! And both my ears were like this. And they hurt more than anything I can’t even sleep now. How is this possible that a product that is supposed to be so good but is turning out to be the worse? Well, I’ll tell you one thing - you Just For Men Company are a bunch of crooks! I just recently read online all your complaints. Maybe you should listen to these people and stop selling this ** product. I know one thing, at the end of this, I promise you I’ll sue you guys and your company for everything you have. You messed with the wrong family!

I've used Just for Men over the past year. During that time, I noticed that my skin had started to become irritated over time. The symptoms were mild in the beginning and gradually increased over time. I started to develop a rash on my chin that would not heal and begin to worsen as I shave because it was in my hairline. Once I realized that it was the product causing these symptoms, I stopped using it in September 2012. However, the irritation, pain and bruising persisted. My lips would harden, crack, and bleed with pus. It was very hard to eat without reopening the wounds to my lips. I tried everything to correct the problem but nothing worked. I eventually had to seek medical attention and was placed on a cortisteroid for a week. If there is any legal action pursued against the company that manufactures this product, I would like to be included in the suit.

I have used this product twice with the same results. Everything was fine after I used the product and the next morning I woke up with a huge rash, with bumps all over my face. Very itchy, it's unbearable. This product should definitely be taken off the market

I am so glad I found this page. I grew a beard all of last year and used this product all year long. I had no problems at all and was quite pleased with the results. I shaved around December 2011. I have grown my beard back recently and it was at the length where I needed to start coloring it. Wow! I have not experienced some of the severe side effects of what I am reading and seeing in this forum. I am experiencing embarrassing severe constant itching, bumps with an oozing oily fluid and scabbing from the scratching. I am an RN and I researched beard mites and other skin conditions and became worried. I am glad to read these comments. Hydrocortisone cream seems to help for a few hours. I don't want to shave my beard but does anyone have insight on how long these reactions lasts?

I bought JFM for my mustache due to a salt and pepper look. I read the package carefully and it suggested that I try some of the product on different part of my body. I placed a small amount on the inside of my right forearm. The product almost immediately began to burn. After a few minutes, I washed the residue off and noticed the skin was burned in an oval about the 1x1. The burn eventually scabbed over and when the area healed, the pigment on my arm was gone and gone for good! The area is now snow white and will not tan and the few hairs in the area are totally white. I can only thank my lucky stars that I did not put it on my face! I would have been scarred for life!

I used I guess the latest formula put out by Just for Men and experienced the most awful chemical burns and allergy symptoms. My entire face is swollen and disfigured, I am too embarrassed to make important meetings without making excuses to cover my face. I am in constant pain and the swelling and itching is unbearable to deal with. I have been disfigured by this product, It should be removed immediately from the stores, the public needs to be protected. I am going to the hospital tomorrow because I cannot stand the pain, I can't even sleep. I even have open sores, oozing liquid, I even got a swollen finger in the area of the fingernail, I guess the mixture seeped in between my nail. The finger became so swollen and painful and I could see the pus under the skin. I lanced it myself to allow the pus to leave. But I also got high allergic reactions over my entire body after being poisoned by this product. I am in excruciating pain.

Chemical burns: I used this product last year (2011) several times with little or no irritation. I shaved my goatee at Christmas of 2011, and I didn't use it again until last Thursday after regrowing my goatee. By 2:00 AM on Friday, my face was burning and itching so bad that I couldn't sleep. I had to shave immediately, but with no relief. Now I have a bright red, itchy, burning, peeling patch of blisters seeping fluid where my goatee used to be. Like all the other complaints that I have read, this stuff should be removed from the market.

I applied the beard dye as detailed in the directions. I had a burning sensation as well, and after rinsing it off, I thought I was fine. The next day, my face and neck had swollen up horribly. The following morning, my skin had begun to weep as well, and I went to the ER. I was admitted immediately, as it looked horrible. They were concerned about my throat swelling shut. I am nearly 50 and do not have any allergies that I know of. Whatever is in this stuff is harsh. I needed steroids and Benadryl.

I've also experienced the same issue you guys have with this product, Just Men Beard Color. I just started growing my beard out in the past year and decided to try a more youthful look by covering up the grey/white areas, primarily my chin area. The first time I used the JFM product, I had no noticeable reaction. A couple of weeks later, I used it again and experienced a slight burning sensation followed by itching and a bit of oozing fluid under my beard. This subsided after a week or so. I really liked not having grey/white in my beard, so even though I had the slight burning and a week or so of itching the last time I used the product, I used it again for the last time. That time, it really burned my face the same as described by many guys here, oozing, blistered skin with discoloration under my beard. It's been nearly a month now since and I still have itchiness and minor flaking, but it seems to be getting better. I know I cannot use this product ever again. I suggest that if you experience the burning, itching, oozing, blistered and discolored skin even the slightest even once, stop using this product. It will only get worse if you insist upon trying to use it again like I did. I'm seeking out alternatives now.

I also used JFM for many years with no problems until about 5 years ago when I had the same problems. I ended up with a hole in the side of my head the size of a baseball. I believe that I developed an allergy to the product for some reason and now I can't use any hair color at all. My guess is that they have been getting these complaints for many years. I don't think it was a change in the formula but either way, it's an unsafe product.

Recent chemical formula change - There must have been a recent change with the beard color chemical formula. I've been using it for over 10 years with no problems and in the past couple of weeks whenever I use it, there is a burning and itching. I'm going to switch to something less harsh.

Oh, my God! I'm awfully glad I read these reviews and didn't try to use JFM again. Like the rest of you, I've been coloring my goatee and mustache with their sandy blonde JFM for over a year, using it every couple weeks with no issues whatsoever. The last time I used it (about 4 days ago), I woke up scratching my beard and mustache and thought that maybe I was over-using it or leaving it on too long. But I had used it this way every time. The next day, I had a red patch just above my lip that itched like hell and it was very clear that I had some kind of chemical burn or had very suddenly developed an allergy to JFM. Then this morning the red patch seems to be somewhat healed and the skin is peeling off of the affected area. Awful. This has class action written all over it.

I was on the same boat all of you guys were. I used Just For Men for years and never had a problem until last year. I was getting painful, itchy blisters that felt like a chemical burn on my lip when I would put their crap on my lip. My lip got so swollen the last time I used it that it looked like I put collagen in my upper lip. I looked everywhere on the internet for a solution, but I began to think that it was hopeless and I was doomed to have grey facial hair until I finally came upon an internet search for dying hair with henna (the same stuff used to make temporary tattoos). It said it was all natural and no chemicals! I thought what the hell and bought some.

I hope that this is helpful to others. I colored my goatee this Thursday (8/23/2012) and I used Just For Men Mustache & Beard dye. An hour later, I experienced shortness of breath and dizziness. It has been on and off for a couple of days and if I don't feel better by this evening, I'm going to have to see my doctor. I'm starting to get worried. I did not get any skin burns though. There is something in this product that is strong and harmful to my health.

I have used this product for almost a year now. Funny thing is at first, it didn't affect me at all, and the color was a close match. I don't use much of it as the gray area I'm covering is very small. So one box lasted me just about 8 months, dyeing it every 2 to 3 weeks. After 8 months, I noticed the flaking of my skin and it itched beyond words. I then noticed a scab on my chin and stopped using it. I threw out the old stuff thinking maybe it had gone bad and purchased a new box. I used that once and had the same issues. I find that baby oil right after a shower helps, then I use an aloe sunburn lotion that stings a little bit, but does help too. I won't be using this product any longer. I'm finding it interesting - the number of people having similar complaints. I also had some minor swelling, but some Benadryl helped with that.

I had Just For Men Autostop applied by a licensed hairdresser because I'd never done anything like this before. She followed the instructions to the letter and the product still came off on my pillowcase that night. I shampooed again the next day and color continued to come off that night, too (thankfully on the same, already ruined, monogrammed pillowcase). I tried to contact the company's customer no-service line, but they never answered (probably too many calls about their ** product). Forewarned is forearmed! Use this stuff at your own risk.

There is something seriously wrong with this product. It's not an "allergy" – it is chemical burning/blistering which can become infected. Hot showers and cortisone ointment provide some relief, but the sores recur. I quit using J4M and switched to Clairol Natural Instincts for Men. My scalp is now healing, and I like the Natural Instinct because, although it costs a bit more (but you can get it cheaper on eBay), it gives you twice the amount of product (2 oz. vs. 1 oz.), can be used on beard, and is easier to work with because it forms more of a gel when mixed so it doesn't splatter. I'm using the M9 which is roughly J4M medium brown and I don't leave it on for the 10-20 minutes recommended – I use a 5-8 minutes time.
