Kresto Kolor Ultra

Sadly, this great product was discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.

Every dyer's best friend! This cream has quite an international reputation. Although it has a new look and size, rest assured it's the same great product. It is an industrial cleansing cream made in Germany specifically for removing dyes from skin. Squeeze some from the 250 ml tube onto DRY skin, rub it in really well, and then wash it off - presto!

This stuff works like magic on most colors (some colors are more stubborn than others) and won't wreck your skin. Much safer than bleach solutions! Even if you use gloves, it's a good idea to keep a tube around for any little "incidents". (Social situations require fewer explanations when your hands aren't green.) Don't get it on your clothes, because it might do its job there too!

*note - rarely, some blues, like Turquoise, for example, sometimes just get "reduced" by this cleaner instead of removed, then when exposed to oxygen, as when your hands dry, the dye oxidizes and appears again. This is rare, but if it happens, the color left will not harm your skin and will eventually come off. It is like discharging, all dyes do not react the same to the various chemicals used for discharging. This is one reason gloves are always recommended!
