Currently in days that feel like torture, and a trip to NYC is ruined. After years of using JFM, I noticed a couple of months ago that I would get facial burning and itching feeling. I didn’t think it was the product — how could something I used for a few years without problems suddenly be responsible for discomfort? Then recently things worsened, and a few days ago I had such a bad reaction after use that I’m still suffering—it’s like my face is burned, itching like crazy, has welts on it, skin is raised and swollen, feeling of terrible sunburn. It’s now 3 days later, and the effects are still occurring. No skin test would have caught this—several years of use was the test, and it happened anyway.

I have all the symptoms from the just for men product

I’ve been using just for men Beard dye for years but the last two packs really burn and itch really bad like acid on my face and some drops on my chest something is wrong with this chemical.

I used JFM once a month conservatively for the last 10 years from 2013 to 2024 and all of a sudden in March 2024 I used this product as a very routine practice. This last time within 3 minutes of applying I started feeling weird tingling and burning sensation. I left it on for another couple minutes and had to run to the shower to rise off. I thought maybe I had a bad batch or something and didn’t think more about it. That night I was woken up by extreme itching and the next morning I had red itchy patches everywhere on my face, cheeks, chin, side burn. The next day I felt the bottom of my chin around my jawbone and it felt wet I looked at my hand and there was yellow color weeping discharge my wife said “you have a weeping sore!” I was like what the hell is that?”. Unfortunately, because this is such a mainstay to looking my best and having used this product for 10+ years I got off the product for a couple of weeks longer to let my face heal and my beard to grow in white and grey. I tried a slightly different color M35 I believe different dude on the box and again 2 minutes into the application tingling and fire burning and now this poison has leached into my face and reactivated the existing sores and caused new ones. I even tried applying Vaseline to the affected areas to try and protect the damaged skin with sores underneath before applying JFM the second time and it let me down. 3 to 6 weeks later my skin is still suffering weeping sores, back burnt patches on my jawbone that looks like a chemical burn the sive of an egg that itches and cracks and bleeds. I can’t use any sort of facial wash because it literally burns my face its almost like this JFM product has altered the composition of my skin and now anything I put on my face including water hurts. I’m not chasing any money here on this lawsuit I do very well as a business professional. I’ll tell every guy on here – if you’re about to do a sales presentation or go on a date or have your face next to your kids face or do any of the hundred things you do as a Father, Husband, Co-worker, Team Leader, Boss etc. this product will disrupt your flow and restrict you to the bathroom doing damage control and trying to figure out how to face the public. I’ve had to cancel client meetings, YouTube video shoots and overall people avoidance because of this nonsense! I think JFM changed the original formula to cut corners and save/make more money in Q1 of 2024 and this is the fallout! Good luck everyone I hope this company is held responsible and pays for the Dermatologist appointments and cost to cure this mess!

Used Just for man yesterday before 7 pm. All night experience hitching in my face/skin/beard area. This morning, my face is hitching even more and red. Redness is occuring even in areas outside of my beard surface. Hope it doesn’t get any worst than this. Had I researched the product prior to using it, I could have saved myself a lot of discomfort and pain. So far it my research, It appears that the ingredient responsible for this is p-Phenylenediamine (PPD). One can find more information on this site: https://www.consumernotice.org/products/personal-care/just-for-men/ At this point,..I’m doing what is suggested on the site referenced in this comment,..but can’t wait for these symptoms to go away.

Used this product and followed all directions one day latter my face is burned open wounds weeping sores. My left eye is not focusing and have had a hard time breathing! We need to do something about this company and anyone who sells it!!!!

Will not use again

I’ve used this product for many years, the last few months I’ve been experiencing extreme itching on my beard area and sores that look like small blemishes that will ooze if scratched. Whatever they did to the product is not good.

I been using this product for the last 4 years. There was no issues till before last time. When I used this one last time I had experience itching and my lips burned. After 3 to 4 days skin on the lip has peeled off. I don’t know how did this happen. Most probably they have changed the content of this colouring.

I used Just for men beard dye in FEBRUARY. It is now November and I still have a major issue on my face because of it. I have had oozing sores all over my beard area. Massive amount of yellow puss remains under my skin and no matter how much I wash it, put antibiotic cream… I’ve tried EVERYTHING! I’ve been to the emergency room 5 TIMES. I have gone through 9 rounds of different antibiotics, and nothing helps. I lost a girlfriend because wasn’t able to kiss he for 9 months. Its humiliating and it itches and burns! I’ve missed work from this and have to endure the stares of people wherever I go.

Applied hair for men, “dark brown”on my beard. Within a minute my face started to burn and itch. I jumped straight into the shower to try and rinse off the product, didn’t matter. It’s been three days now and my face is swollen like crazy, face burns like it’s on fire and I have leaking blisters everywhere I applied hair for men. How this product is still on the market is beyond compression!

I have been using JFM mustache and beard Dark Brown for several years and in the last 2 – 3 years I have been having all the symptoms listed as possible reactions (except the swelling of the throat). I started weening myself off of the product and eventually stopped completely and hadn’t used it in months. I tried it just tonight on 3.17.23. I did what another user stated in the forum and put less on and shortened the time. After washing it off there was no change in the hair color. So I put more on and waited again but extended the time to 5 minutes. After washing it seemed to have worked. But then within 30 minutes it began to severely itch and get red. I had some medicated skin ointment that I put on my beard and rubbed it in. Let it be for an hour or so but it still stayed itchy. Then I put coconut oil on it and let it sit for a hour or so and still it was badly itchy and red. Then I sprayed Bactine Max on my whole beard. It helped with the itching but now it’s red, feels warm all over, cheeks, upper lip and jaw feel swollen, skin feels tough and dry when I open my mouth wide. Don’t have any swelling of the throat. My partner looked at it and agreed that it has never looked this bad. Please help. I hope I am not going to have to go to the ER for any emergency allergic reaction treatment.

Used the Just For Men dye on beard 4 days ago. On the 2nd day the pain and leaking sores appeared. Remove this product from the store shelves immediately!!

I’ve been using JFM Medium Brown / Black Beard and Moustache Dye for.about 6 weeks. The last 2 times I applied it my face started burning immediately so I washes it off within minutes. Today is day 4 after the last time I applied it and my face is RED, ITCHY, Weepy and not letting me sleep. I don’t know what to do and can’t handle this pain.

When I applied “Just For Men” solution to my hair, scalp, and beard, a horrible hot sensation and feeling of affixation came over my whole being!

I used Just for men beard and mustache over the weekend, That’s 3 days ago and now I have what appear to be chemicals burns in nearly everyplace that the product touched under my beard. Also blisters under the beard that are leaking liquid. Very itchy and painful driving me mad.

I used Just for Men beard coloring for years with no issues then the fragrance changed and every since each time I’ve tried it I spend the next 7-10 days with blisters and severe itching around my mouth and neck. I’ve tried backing the time specified in the instructions down to just 2 minutes and still the same horrible results………..WHY IS THIS PRODUCT STILL BEING SOLD???!!!!!!!!!

I just had a reaction from Cremo, Ive had smaller reactions but nothing other then a bad itch for days. This time made my face swell up and red as a beet for Thanksgiving. Its still red, itchy, I have sores on my chin leaking fluid. Its driving me nuts. I’m not one to be a b**** and blame others but Im not sensitive to hardly anything, and considering this Ppd has been a top common allergen worldwide this chemical should be banned. I’ve never wanted to sue anyone till now

I used Just for men beard and mustache color, 2 days ago and now I have what appear to be chemicals burns in in nearly everyplace that the product touched. Also blisters under the beard, along with a liquid blisters. Very itchy and painful.

I’ve used the medium brown color on my beard for years and had no problems. The last time I used it I had severe itching and burning that nearly drove me out of my mind. Now, a few days later, I have severe dried, red and scabby skin around the beard area. After reading some of these comments, I’m scared to death to shave it off for fear of what I might find underneath.

Beard dye. Severe itching and burning, leading to blisters and open scab discharges.

I used Just for men beard and mustache color 2 days ago and now I have what appear to be chemicals burns in in nearly everyplace that the product touched. Also blusters in the mustache line and under the beard, along with a liquid substance that discharges from the blisters. And it is itchy and painful: The makers of this product really need to do something about this !!

I got burned from this product recently

Don’t buy.

Red inflamed areas. Watery stuff comming from pores just in the beard area. Embarrassing to even go to work looking like this

I been using just for men jet black hair dye for a while and I always start inching and my face breaks out with big puss bumps with yellow stuff. It stays for days sometimes weeks . And it hurts . After reading comments there should be something done about this

I use this product for my beard. This product burn my face and neck so bad. I had some many sore all over my neck and lip. I am a diabetic I was so afraid that something might happen, scary feeling.

I use this product first time today my face is all red an puss coming out of it omg.

I am a consumer in the uk As my beard is totally white I decided that it might be a good idea to dye it to match the rest the of my hair. I purchased some just for men for beards and moustaches (light brown) after seeing the company website it seemed safe, easy to use and gives the impression it can be used straight from the box as is. On using it all went well. Around three hours later I noticed the area around where I applied was red. The following morning I woke up to find my face scarlet red and covered in pus filled blisters. Funnily enough in the exact shape of where the brus went, you can even see brush strokes. I initially thought it was an allergic reaction. I took some anti histamine for a few days and nothing happened. My skin continued to blister… then it hit me, this isn’t an allergic reaction, it’s a BURN. So not only has this product physically damaged me, you can imagine the stress of walking around with a pus covered red splat on your face! I am in the process of taking legal action against the manufacturers of this product In the meantime this product, my friends, is not safe to use. Avoid

I have only been using just for men for a approximately a month. The last time I used JFM, my skin began to burn and weep. This lasted for almost 10 days. None of the creams worked but bacitracin. This was a nightmare. DONT EVER USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!
