Schick Dermaplaning Lawsuit Alleges Dermaplaning Tools Unsafe for At-Home Use, What You Need to Know in 2025

A newly filed class action lawsuit alleges that Schick’s Hydro Silk Dermaplaning Wand is not safe for at-home use, directly contradicting how Edgewell Personal Care — Schick’s parent company — markets the product. No settlement exists yet and no claim filing window is open. This article explains what the lawsuit alleges, what Schick claims about its product, what skin experts say about at-home dermaplaning risks, and what consumers who experienced injuries should do right now.

Key Case Status Box

Important: Because this lawsuit was just filed, no court has ruled on the allegations, no settlement fund exists, and no payout amounts have been set. Any website telling you to file a claim right now for a Schick dermaplaning settlement is providing false information.

What the Lawsuit Alleges

A class action lawsuit filed against Schick’s parent company, Edgewell Personal Care, alleges that the Schick Hydro Silk Dermaplaning Wand is unsafe for consumers to use at home — despite being marketed and sold specifically for that purpose.

The core allegation is one of false advertising and consumer protection violations. The plaintiff claims Schick misled consumers by promoting the product as a safe at-home alternative to professional dermaplaning treatments — when, according to the lawsuit, it is not.

The specific case name and docket number have not yet been confirmed in publicly accessible court databases as of the date of this article. For the most current case details, check TopClassActions.com directly.

What Schick Says About the Product

Understanding what Schick claims about the Hydro Silk Dermaplaning Wand is central to understanding why this lawsuit was filed. The company’s marketing is direct and consistent across all channels.

Schick describes the product as offering “expert-level care at home” and calls it “dermatologist-approved,” claiming the tool “gently exfoliates and sweeps away fine hairs, revealing glowy and smooth skin.” The company’s official website states the tool is “not harmful or painful to your skin” and “will not cause acne.”

On Amazon, Schick promotes the wand with the claim that it “prevents irritation” through “unique micro-guards to protect your delicate facial skin,” and markets the ergonomic weighted metal handle as providing “precise control” for at-home use.

The lawsuit directly challenges these representations, alleging that the product’s marketing does not accurately reflect the real risks consumers face when using a dermaplaning blade without professional training.

What Is Dermaplaning — And Why Does At-Home Safety Matter?

Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that uses a surgical-grade scalpel or specialized blade to physically exfoliate the top layer of skin and remove fine facial hair (commonly called “peach fuzz”). In a professional setting, licensed estheticians or dermatologists perform the treatment using medical-grade tools and trained technique.

The core concern raised by critics of at-home dermaplaning tools is that the procedure is highly technique-dependent. Holding a blade at the correct angle — typically 45 degrees — while moving across curved areas like the jawline, chin, and upper lip requires practice, skill, and knowledge of skin conditions that could make the procedure risky.

Some reviewers of Schick’s own products have noted that their skin felt “raw or irritated” after use, even among consumers who used the tool as directed. Improper angle, pressure, or frequency of use can result in nicks, scrapes, over-exfoliation, or a compromised skin barrier — particularly for consumers with sensitive skin, active breakouts, or skin conditions such as rosacea.

Notably, even Schick’s own official website includes a small disclaimer at the bottom of its product page: “Dermaplaning should be avoided if you have any active breakouts.” The lawsuit may argue that this warning is insufficient given the broader range of consumers purchasing the product and the boldness of the product’s safety claims elsewhere.

The Core Legal Argument: “Safe for Home Use” vs. Reality

The gap between Schick’s marketing and what plaintiffs allege about the product’s real safety profile is the heart of this case. Here is how that argument breaks down in plain terms.

What Schick says: The product is “dermatologist-approved,” “prevents irritation,” provides “expert-level care at home,” and is safe and easy to use for all consumers.

What the lawsuit alleges: The tool is not safely usable by untrained consumers at home, the “dermatologist-approved” and related claims are misleading, and consumers who purchased the product based on those claims suffered harm — either physical injury or financial harm from purchasing a product that did not perform as advertised.

This type of lawsuit — a false advertising class action — does not require every class member to have suffered a physical injury. Consumers who purchased the product based on marketing claims that were allegedly false may qualify as class members if the case proceeds to certification.

Edgewell has not yet publicly responded to the specific allegations in this class action as of the date of this article.

Who May Eventually Be Eligible — If a Settlement Is Reached

No eligibility criteria have been established because no settlement exists. However, based on the type of lawsuit alleged, potential future class members could include:

• U.S. consumers who purchased the Schick Hydro Silk Dermaplaning Wand or related dermaplaning tools made by Edgewell Personal Care
• Purchasers within a specific time period (to be defined in any future settlement agreement — likely tied to when the product launched in 2022)
• Consumers who bought the product based on claims that it was “safe for at-home use,” “dermatologist-approved,” or provided “expert-level care at home”
• Consumers who experienced skin injuries from at-home use may have separate individual claims beyond a class settlement

These are projections based on how similar false advertising class actions have been structured. They are not confirmed eligibility requirements.

What Consumers Who Were Injured Should Do Right Now

If you used a Schick Hydro Silk Dermaplaning Wand and experienced a skin injury — including cuts, nicks, irritation, infection, or skin barrier damage — you have options even before any class action settlement is announced.

Step 1 — Document everything. Take photos of any skin injury. Keep your product packaging, receipt, or purchase record (check Amazon or credit card statements). Write down the date of purchase and date of injury while it is fresh.

Step 2 — Seek medical attention if needed. If you experienced a significant skin injury, see a dermatologist. Keep records of any medical visits or treatments.

Step 3 — Report the product. File a report with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at SaferProducts.gov. Reports from consumers help regulators track injury patterns and can support class action proceedings.

Step 4 — Contact a consumer protection attorney. If your injuries were significant, an individual product liability claim may be worth more than what a class settlement would provide. Many consumer protection attorneys offer free consultations.

Step 5 — Monitor the case. Check TopClassActions.com and ClassAction.org regularly for updates on this specific lawsuit. When a settlement is announced — if one is reached — those sites will publish claim filing deadlines and official website links.

What Consumers Who Were Not Injured Should Know

Even if you purchased a Schick Hydro Silk Dermaplaning Wand and had no negative experience, you may still potentially qualify for a future class settlement under a false advertising theory. Courts have allowed class members in similar cases to recover small amounts (often $5–$30 per purchase) for being misled by product marketing, regardless of physical injury.

However, until a settlement is reached and a claims process is officially opened, there is nothing to file and nowhere to file it. Anyone telling you otherwise right now is misleading you.
