 The name was used in some European countries, but was not used universally.For example, while the product was sold as Veet in France, the product was sold in Canada and the United States as Neet until 2002, when the Veet name was first used commercially in those countries.Veet was advertised in the 1920s (then known as Neet) as a product that was "faster than shaving", was called "the ready to use hair removing cream," and was initially sold for about fifty cents in the United States.
