Top lip hair solutions for 10 year old girl

My DD is 10 and has dark upper lip hair that she is starting to feel self conscious about and we have talked about removing it. I thought we could try hair removal cream as it wouldn't involve the pain of waxing (she's not great with even the lowest level of pain!). But reading reviews of even the sensitive products there always seem to be lots of people saying try have been left with burning red marks.
Does anyone has any recommendations for what they've tried that would be suitable / successful. And not leave her with marks worse than the hair!

Don't use cream it's way too easy to end up with mild chemical burns on your face from it.

I would recommend something like this: Facial Hair Remover for Women, Anjou Painless Facial Hair Trimmer for Peach Fuzz, Chin Hair and Upper Lip Moustaches, Battery Operated with Built-in LED Light www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B078NV25VC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_hUdQCbJXMXTKG

It doesn't hurt and you literally just run it over the area and it's done in a few seconds. It doesn't need any particular dexterity.

Jolene bleach?

I had a friend who said using a light exfoliating pad each evening also helped the hair regrowth not be as bad.

And I know it doesn't help right now, but I'd seriously look into laser hair removal when she's a bit older.

You can always patch test creams but I agree those electric trimmers are pretty good and it's an urban myth that shaving encourages thicker growth

Facial Hair Remover -Portable Face Hair Threader Remover Threading Beauty Tool Stainless Steel Epilator .Includes free Facial Cleansing Brush https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073Q2DM4M/ref=cmswwrcppapiii_T2dQCbVPBR4CF

I have one very similar. Works really well, hurts a little but you won't do any damage apart from being a little red for 10 mins.
