What are preparations called that temporarily remove superfluous hair by dissolving it at the skin line?

  1. Waxes

  2. Shampoos

  3. Depilatories

  4. Tweezers

The correct answer is: Depilatories

Depilatories are substances that work to break down the protein structure of hair, allowing it to be easily removed at the skin line. This is a temporary method of hair removal compared to other techniques like waxing or using tweezers. Waxing involves pulling hair out from the root and shampoos are used for cleaning rather than hair removal. Tweezers target individual hairs, making it less suitable for larger areas.
