Made for hormonal hair found on the face like on the chin, jawline, and upper lip, the areas most hair removal methods weren't built to handle. This isn't a general hair-removal product with PCOS added as an afterthought. It was created because nothing else worked for hair growth caused by hormones, not habits.
With twice-daily use, it helps slow regrowth, thin coarse strands over time, fade dark spots, and calm irritation and scarring left behind by shaving, waxing, or plucking, leaving skin visibly smoother and more even.
One, 15ml (0.507oz) dark roll-on glass bottle. It has a 2-year shelf life if properly stored in dark, cool areas. Mainly used for face, but available for larger areas of the body in the 2 oz Hair Reducing Fade Oil Spray (For the Body)

Laser can work well for a lot of people, but PCOS-driven hair isn't just a follicle problem, it's an ongoing hormone problem. In one 2025 study, laser hair removal actually triggered more visible hair growth in nearly 1 in 3 women with PCOS, compared to about 1 in 7 women without it.
That's not a scare tactic, it's just the reality of treating hair that's driven by androgens instead of genetics alone. Our oil was built around that reality: formulated to work with hormonal hair growth, not assume it behaves like everyone else's.
Why You’ll Love It
Reduces unwanted facial and body hair caused by hormonal imbalances like PCOS and hirsutism
Slows regrowth and softens stubborn, coarse hair over time
Fades dark spots, discoloration, and post-hair-removal marks
Promotes a smoother, clearer, more even complexion
Our Hair Reducing Fade Oil works at the follicular level, targeting the hair cycle and regulating the androgen activity that fuels hair growth. Consistent use helps slow new growth, weaken the appearance of existing hairs, and support clear, even-toned skin after hair removal.
Interrupts regrowth signals: Plant actives including Cyperus Rotundus are studied for their ability to influence pathways linked to hair shaft formation—helping extend the time between visible regrowth.
Gradually thins hair look & feel: With steady application, new hairs tend to appear softer and finer, making them less noticeable over time.
Calms & brightens skin: Gentle botanicals and oils help reduce post-hair-removal irritation and support a more even complexion.
Cyperus — targets follicular activity associated with regrowth to help slow the return of visible hair.
Papaya — gently supports the softening of hair at the surface for a finer look over time
Organic Nourishing Botanical Oils — condition skin and help reduce the look of dark spots after hair removal. Argania Spinosa, Cymbopogon, Carica Papaya, Salvia Sclarea, Citrus Paradisi, Lavendula, Cyperus, Matricaria Chamomilla, Melaleuca alternifolia, Boswellia, tocopherol
For best results, apply twice daily on clean skin and remove hair from the root before use. Visible improvements are commonly reported within 2–8 weeks. Individual results vary.
🌿 Why We’re Different
Most hair inhibitor oils on the market are either generic imports, cheap blends with no testing, or products chasing trends. Umber By J Lenay has been trusted since 2019, built out of real lived experience with PCOS and hirsutism — not just market research. That changes everything.

Price stability through economic changes — while everything else has gone up, we’ve kept our price the same since 2019, choosing to absorb rising costs ourselves rather than pass them onto our community.
Real people, real results — we are the face of the brand. No actors, no staged content, just our founder and real women in our community.
Science-backed, dermatologist-tested — ingredients like Cyperus & Papaya Enzyme are clinically studied and proven safe for sensitive skin. We have done the work on having our product clinically tested.
Proven community results — we have helped over 40,000+ women worldwide who share their real before-and-after journeys with us.
Rooted in empathy — created for women who’ve felt unseen in the beauty industry, especially those living with PCOS and hormonal imbalances.
Niche & specialized — we aren’t a convenience store full of random products. Every formula is focused on hair reduction, skin clarity, and confidence for those who deal with unwanted hair and problem that come with it.
Founder-led authenticity — created by Jasmine in her grandmother’s kitchen back in 2016 after her own struggles. The mission is personal: no one should feel alone in this journey.
👉 Bottom line: Since 2019, we’ve stayed true to one mission: a specialized, science-backed solution with the same trusted blend, the same fair price, and real results from real people.
FAQs
Why is it so expensive? -We source our ingredients directly from source, that means all around the world — not from a single bulk supplier. Each ingredient is authentic, pure, A-grade, and organic. We also offer two strengths (Regular and Sensitive) so everyone has an option. Unlike other products, we don’t use fillers, synthetics, or watered-down formulas.
How long does it take to see results? -Results can begin as soon as 2 weeks, but for some it may take up to 2 months. The key is consistency. For best results:
Exfoliate regularly to keep skin soft and prevent ingrown hairs as your hair begins to thin.
Does this product work on gray hair? -Yes. It can take a little longer to see results on gray hair, but it does work.
Is the Hair Reducing Fade Oil permanent? -No. We will never claim permanent results — that isn’t possible with any topical product. Excessive hair growth is often caused by genetics or hormonal imbalances, which start internally. What we can promise is that our oil helps you manage growth so you don’t have to deal with hair as often.
Can I use the Hair Reducing Fade Oil while pregnant or nursing? -Please consult your physician before use. Our product has only been tested on women who are not pregnant or nursing.
Can I use other products with the Hair Reducing Fade Oil? -Yes. Just be sure to apply the Hair Reducing Fade Oil first on clean skin, then follow with any other products.
Does this product work for men or transitioning individuals? -Yes. The Hair Reducing Fade Oil works on everyone — as long as you follow the detailed instructions provided with the bottle.
Can I use the Hair Reducing Fade Oil on my bikini area? -Yes. You can use it anywhere on the body. For the best results, carefully follow the detailed instructions included with your bottle.

Follow with our Facial Moisturizer to lock in hydration. Always apply after the Fade Oil, never before. Apply any other product after Hair ReducingFade Oil
Use the Facial Sugar Scrub before or after washing your face.Continue with daily routine.Tip: exfoliate no more then 2-3x a week.
Apply the Shea Shave Stick Butter to damp skin, massage in, and shave in the direction of hair growth. Continue with your daily routine. Tip: Use a single-blade razor to reduce and prevent ingrown hairs. Look up “shave mapping” to master your technique

My hair has been reducing. I also have been growing grey hairs on my chin but Im still tweezing , which helps and I have developed a skin routine. I know now that you should use higher end products and not the cheap ones...also I am slowly eating better and walking. So im coming along. Compared to what my skin looked like when I was shaving, it was horrible. I have used half of my bottle so I will be ordering some more. Thank you for your black owned products for US and checking on me...thanks
The pictures and the wax strip tell the story! I’ve been using Umber J Lenay consistently, and I’m definitely noticing my facial hair becoming lighter, thinner, and less noticeable over time. The difference in my regrowth is becoming easier and easier to see. Consistency has really paid off for me, and I’m excited to keep going.
Consistency! I went through 3 bottles. The first bottle I wasn't consistent but the second 2 I was (using it twice daily) and it has been such a difference.
Ever since I’ve started using it my confidence is definitely coming back. It has slowed the growth down so much no more looking in the mirror every five minutes I thank God for this product!
This has been amazing!! I have dwelt with facial hair extremely bad on my chin that is very prominent. 8 weeks on Umber and I can see a huge difference in how long it is taking to have to wax again. I use to wax every 4 or 5 days. I am now going 10-12 days!
I have been using the Umber hair reducing fade oil for a about 6 months now.
I did a review back in February after one month and I am returning for an 6 month update.
I just received my latest package on Monday June 8th. I did notice that the oil smells slightly different this time. Not sure if the formula has slightly changed or not. It still apply well, love the roll on and although it was a slow start I am finally seeing a difference. The hairs are coming in a slower, shorter and not as dark.
I also recently combined the facial scrub with this and I am so happy I did because as you can see my skin tone is brighter, my ingrown hairs has decreased. I recommend for sure!!
See you guys in another few months for an update!
I really didn’t know if this oil would work, but when I saw Jasmine’s testimony on what looked something like The shark tank show, as she emotionally explained how she tried everything and nothing else worked… I was truly convinced.
Since using this hair reducing oil, it has boosted my confidence. I don’t try to hide my face and dark spots with makeup anymore. I can walk around with my chin up and feel good about it. I had been praying to the Lord to send me something that would actually work, and even when it seemed like nothing ever would be able to, here comes Umber by JLenay. Truly a blessing. Hoping I can get a free bottle or a few half priced bottles. lol it’s worth the $60 but it definitely adds up.
It just simply did not work for me. The hair grew back, and it did not fade the dark spots. I took it as instructed. Don't you guys have a guarantee or your money back deal?
I’ve been using the product about two months now. I’ve noted slight reduction of growth, but am not having outstanding results so far unfortunately. The product smells good and I appreciate that the ingredients are natural. I have sensitive skin and the oil did not cause any reactions, which is also a plus.
I have been using the sensetive skin hair reducing fade oil for 8 weeks now and wow. The photos show growth 10 day after plucking both times. Most noticeably my facial hair is growing back at a much slower rate than previously and the hair that does grow back is sparse in some areas. I have also noticed that my facial hair is lighter as it is growing back making it less noticebale at certain angles. It feels good on my skin, smells nice and lasts a long time. This product has done wonders for helping me reclaim my sense of femininity. I would highly recommend.
Before I started using Umber by J Lenay, I was honestly discouraged because I had tried different products and nothing seemed to work. I started using the Fade Oil daily, and within about a month, I began to notice a difference.
It was a slow start at first, but once I stayed consistent, I finally started seeing results. I am very pleased with my progress and would definitely recommend it to anyone who feels like they have tried everything!
I have been using this product twice a day for one month. I have noticed a slight slow down. I have too much hair to pluck or tweeze , so I shave. When the product first arrived, I tried to tweeze out some of the more prominent hairs, then use the product. That caused my face to be very inflamed. I could not go to church. I went back to shaving. Instead of daily chin shaving, I have to shave on day number 3.
Thanks,
Velma
USPS lost my initial package. Customer service was excellent, efficient, and timely on rectifying the issue. A replacement bottle was shipped. The product is an A++. I noticed a tremendous difference in just 2-3 weeks. I have been using the product for about 3-4 weeks. I’ve had issues with facial hair since my teen years. I was diagnosed with PCOS in my late teens-early 20s. This is a miracle product FOR ME. I know hormone levels vary from person to person so results will vary from person to person. For me this has been a life saver in my skincare routine. I’ve done a great job of managing dark spots and ingrown hairs throughout the years. Now in my early 30s. It’s only so much you can do once your skin goes through another episode of hormonal changes. Using this fade oil was on of the best decisions I’ve made. My confidence has been higher than ever. I’m down to tweezing every 3-4 days. Diet changes are also to thank for the quick results. This oil is truly a gem. Placing my second order today for 2 bottles because I don’t want to run out. I just quit my job and going to interviews with facial hair is not an option lol if you’re a first time customer. Take a chance and buy it.
I love this product. Sorry I didn’t take pictures but I can see the change 2 months in. I ordered my second bottle along with the moisture oil . Thank you so much for this product. ❤️
Order #37558
I received an email that was checking in on my experience. I am three days shy of one month of consistently using the hair reducing fade oil.
I suffer from symptoms of PCOS and insulin resistance for years and have tried numerous products.
I really enjoy the smell, it is moisturizing to my skin. It doesn't feel oily. I love the applicator, it is very easy to use twice a day. I roll it along my entire jawline and chin everyday. I haven't seen a change within this month but I still have hope.
I notice a bit of a change but need to continue using it to see optimum results. I’ve been using it for 2 months and the smell is pleasant. If you do try it be sure to remain cosistent because nothing happens overnight

I having been watching this product for a few years now because I was skeptical. However, let me tell you…. I cannot believe that this product actually works and fast too! I have been using the Reducing Excessive Hair Oil day and night for approximately 49 days, every day and night. I am beyond impressed! Now, I’m trying to fade my dark marks from plucking all these years. 25 years with dealing with excessive facial hair growth and embarrassment. Within a month, a total game changer. Thank you Jasmine!!!
Store owner replied:
This truly means everything! Thank you so much for sharing this 🙌🏽❤️ After 25 years of dealing with excessive facial hair, hearing that this has been a game changer for you in just over a month is incredibly powerful 💯 We’re so proud of your consistency and so happy you’re finally seeing the results you deserve. Thank you for trusting us and for being part of this community! 🙏🏽

I thought it wouldn’t work but this is a week and a few days apart and my hair is less thick and not really there as much
Store owner replied:
Yesss!! 🙌🏽 Seeing changes that quickly is so exciting 💯 Thinner, lighter hair even in the early stages is an amazing sign — keep staying consistent, it only gets better from here! We’re so glad you gave it a chance 🥰❤️
— The Umber by J Lenay Team
I have been using this product for about 3 months now. I was very skeptical but wanted to try something different because nothing else was working. I can see the hair changing to a blonde color, thinning, growing slower, growing thinner. I am very happy with my purchase and will continue this journey!
Store owner replied:
We love hearing this!! 🙌❤️ Skepticism is so real, especially when nothing else has worked — so seeing lighter, thinner, slower-growing hair after staying consistent is amazing 💯 We’re so happy you’re feeling hopeful and proud of your progress. Keep going, you’re doing incredible! 🔥

I purchased this Hair Reducing Oil in October, and after using it consistently for a few weeks, I started to notice visible results. My hair began to grow back thinner and not as strong as before, which was a pleasant surprise.
To improve the results even more, I switched from shaving to waxing, and that really made a difference. Especially for my facial hair, the improvement is very noticeable. Before using this oil, I had to shave every two days. Now, I can go several weeks before needing to remove the hair again.
Overall, my facial hair growth is much less intense than it used to be, and I’m genuinely happy with the results so far. I will definitely continue using this product and would recommend it to anyone looking to reduce unwanted hair growth naturally.
I’m ordering my second bottle now!!
Store owner replied:
Wow, thank you so much for sharing this!! 🙌❤️ Seeing hair grow back thinner, softer, and way slower — to the point where you can go weeks instead of days — is exactly what we love to hear 💯 We’re so happy you found what works for you and that you’re continuing your journey with a second bottle 🔥 Thank you for trusting us and for recommending our oil to others! 🙏

This stuff does work but you have to trust the process! I have PCOS and have terrible facial hair specifically on my neck and chin. This stuff makes it more tolerable and if you have PCOS anything that makes it more tolerable is a win. I used to wax as well and I hadn’t in awhile because it was time consuming but I think if you pair specifically waxing with this hair reducing oil AND stay consistent with using it at least once a day you will see a difference. That is my next step after I get my second bottle.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for sharing these photos! You’re absolutely right, trusting the process and staying consistent makes all the difference 💯 We know how challenging PCOS-related hair growth can be, so anything that makes it more manageable is truly a win 🙌❤️ We’re excited for you as you start your second bottle and pair it with waxing - keep going, you’re doing amazing! 🔥

It took a minute for the product to work, but once it did, I saw the changes: my skin tone has started to even out on my chin, the chin hairs are thinning, and less hairs are growing back. (The unlabeled photos are 2 days hair growth on 3 months using the fade oil.)
Store owner replied:
We love hearing this!! 🙌 Thank you for sticking with it and giving the oil time to do its thing — consistency really pays off 💯 Your results sound amazing, and we’re so glad your skin is evening out and your chin hairs are thinning. Keep it up, you’re glowing! 🔥
— The Umber by J Lenay Team
This order does exactly what it says. I applied the oil twice a day after having my face sugared and in some areas, the hair did not grow back. In other areas, the hair grew really thin.
Store owner replied:
Yesss! That’s exactly the kind of progress we love hearing about. Love those before and afters! So glad the oil is giving you those thinner hairs and even some areas with no regrowth—way to go for sticking with it 🙌
It’s been a month I think now and I’m still plucking and still have dark spots so I will continue to used give a full 3 months. I do like the smell and a little does goes a long way.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your honest feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the scent and texture, and you're absolutely right — consistency over time is key. Make sure to hydrate by drinking a lot of water before plucking and use a warm towel on your face to prevent breakage. More info on our IG! @umberjlenay
I love everything about this oil!!! It gives everything promised. I’m definitely have I gave it a try, I will be purchasing more.
Store owner replied:
Love those before and afters 🙌
We're so happy to hear that you’re loving the oil and seeing results! ✨ Thank you for giving it a try and for your kind words — we can’t wait to get your next order out to you!
I started using this 2xs a day for a good 2 months straight, noticed a very very slight difference in hairs growing back. Third pic is one day after (after applying twice a day for 2 months) I still had to pluck almost daily, but it DID very slightly slow it down. I’m going for a second bottle, we shall see!!
Store owner replied:
We just put a post up about this on our instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/p/DL5mCn4Jj9j/
Hope this brings insight to the problem and helps you see more progress <3
I cannot say enough good things or be grateful enough to have found Umber. The products I purchased were the Original 0.5 oz Hair Reducing Fade Oil Roll-On and the 2 oz Facial Moisturizer (Ingrown Hair/Acne) from Umber J. Lenay. These products have been a true blessing for my skin, especially as someone dealing with pseudo acne and stubborn ingrown hairs caused by PCOS.
Before discovering this brand, I was stuck in a frustrating cycle of constant breakouts under my chin, painful bumps, dark spots, and no real relief no matter what I tried. Trust me I’ve tried some things with bare minimum results. I saw an instagram reel of a natural substance to help. skeptical at first due to having sensitive skin I tried them out. The photos are a month apart showing the results of using both the roll-on and the moisturizer, I started noticing a real/significant difference. The bumps began to shrink, my skin felt smoother, and most importantly, the hyperpigmentation started to fade!!!! )(something I’ve struggled with for years)
The roll-on is super convenient and soothing, especially after shaving or waxing. It instantly calms the area and noticeably reduces the appearance of new ingrown hairs. And the moisturizer? Absolutely amazing. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and gives my skin such a healthy, hydrated glow without clogging my pores.
What I love most is that these products were clearly formulated with melanin-rich, sensitive, natural, and acne-prone skin in mind. They feel luxurious, they smell great, and most importantly they work. I finally feel confident again without having to cover my skin or feel embarrassed about my chin area.
Thank you, Umber J. Lenay, for creating something that actually delivers. These are now permanent staples in my skincare routine!
Store owner replied:
Wow — thank you for your pictures and this beautifully written and heartfelt review. Your experience captures exactly why Umber J. Lenay was created — to bring real relief, confidence, and care to those who have felt unseen or underserved in the skincare space.
Your words about the cycle of pain, irritation, and hyperpigmentation are so relatable for many, and it means everything to hear that the roll-on and moisturizer helped break that cycle for you. We’re especially glad you’ve noticed smoother skin, fading dark spots, and fewer ingrown hairs — that's the healing we love to see!
Your journey and feedback will absolutely help others feel hopeful about trying something new. Thank you for trusting us with your skin. We’re so proud to be a part of your routine.
I’ve been consistently using this product going on 2 months now and there is a definite noticeable difference. The hair itself has been growing in a lot slower than it normally would and the discoloration of the dark marks are slowly but surely starting to fade! I’m slowly regaining my confidence back thanks to this miracle in a bottle! Thank you!!!
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and pictures! We're thrilled to hear that after just two months, you're seeing slower hair growth and fading dark marks — that's exactly the kind of transformation we hope for. Regaining your confidence is everything, and we're so grateful to be part of that journey. Keep up the consistency — the results will only get better from here!
I love the smell and the fade effect that it has on my discoloration, but I haven't seen much for my chin hair growth but I'm still waiting
Store owner replied:
Thanks for sharing your honest feedback! It’s great that you’re loving the scent and seeing the fade on discoloration—that’s a big win! Sometimes the hair reduction can take a bit longer, so keeping consistent will really help those results come through. I’m rooting for you—stay patient and keep me posted! 😊
