Not Effective for Wrinkle Reduction

Doesn't Increase Elasticity

Small Size

Not Affordable

Not Hygienic

Doesn't Last Long

Has a Soap Scent

Portable

Pleasant Scent

Feels Comfortable

Not Sticky

Adds Glow

Easy to Apply

Easily Absorbed

Like other multi-balms, the surface gets contaminated quickly and it cannot be applied directly over makeup.

I use a stick every night before bed! 💜
Although I was initially skeptical of this type of stick due to unsanitary usage, I've found a great use for it.

After applying an ampoule, I use the stick to apply it to areas with wrinkles and my lips.
The stick is very moisturizing and nourishing!
The skin around my eyes and the corners of my mouth has become tighter and more elastic. The stick itself is odorless, has a fairly firm texture, and does not melt in heat~

퍼스트 샷 에센스 스틱 [에이지컨트롤]

As I approach my mid-40s, I've started noticing under-eye sagging, nasolabial folds, forehead lines, and lip lines, so I apply the product all over my face first, then apply a second layer to really let it absorb.
And once it's fully absorbed, I finish with a mist, ampoule, and cream in that order...It really does seem to make a noticeable difference.

I wish it was a pump-type product..
But so far, I'm still quite satisfied, without any major disappointments.

The product applies smoothly to the skin and absorbs well...After using it for about 3 days and sleeping with it on, I can feel a noticeable improvement in skin elasticity.👍
I can particularly feel the improvement in elasticity around my thin under-eye area and nasolabial folds. I apply it all over my face first, then apply a second layer to really let it absorb. I'll continue purchasing and using this product.🫶

It's a bit too firm. It lacks a bit of oiliness for use on dry areas.

It's not exactly soft, but has a slightly firm feel to it. I've tried about three multi-balms so far, and this one is the firmest. I think it would be good for those who don't like something too soft. I personally didn't like it too much because when it's that firm, the product I applied earlier tends to get pushed aside or wiped off. But it's fine if you dab it on. And the shine isn't too intense. If you want a really glossy shine, you should use something that melts in more smoothly. This one has a moderate sheen. Now that the weather is getting warmer, this level of shine might be better.
What I liked is that the label peels off easily, which helps with environmental protection.

But if you just leave it, it does stay with a nice glow
Since it's a stick type, it can be a bit messy
But it's convenient to use and I like it
The lavender scent may be divisive, as some may like or dislike it
I personally like it

I tried the Multibam for the first time
The dry season has arrived, and with my already dry skin and eczema, it has been really tough.
I often apply it around my eyes and lips
Sometimes I just leave it as is, and other times I pat or spread it to finish
I apply it freely, whether I have makeup on or not
When wearing makeup, if you don't rub it, but instead pat it in as it dries, the makeup won't get cakey or uneven
I think it will be great to use during the dry season

Since the mouth is close to the nose, the fragrance can be a bit strong when using it as a lip balm, so that part may be disliked by some.

During the heyday of whitening sticks, I tried various products, but none of them particularly caught my eye.
Then I came across this product. To cut to the chase, the wrinkle improvement effect seems to be minimal (I'm still using it consistently), and I'm not sure about the whitening effect at all.🙃
I've been applying it intensively around my mouth and eyes, which are dry, and I can definitely feel a softening when I use the muscles a lot, like when I'm smiling. It also doesn't slip when I use it under my cushion or foundation, and it helps them adhere well, so I use it often.

The size is just right, so it's convenient to carry around, and the price seems relatively reasonable as well.

Compared to the ㄱㅎ<<brand among wrinkle improvement sticks, this product has less stickiness and just the right viscosity, so there's no burden even if I apply it before bed.

The standout feature of this product is that it's excellent as a lip balm. It's great for hydration, and it completely fills in the lip wrinkles without any stickiness, making my lips feel so comfortable. I highly recommend trying it as a lip balm.

The glow itself is not overbearing, which is actually a good thing.

It doesn't spread as well as expected, and it's impossible to visually confirm how much has been applied, so you end up applying too much.

Comfortable. Moisturizing. Easy to apply to targeted areas and has a suitable amount of oiliness.

1. It seems like it will run out quickly (the volume is a bit disappointing considering the price)
2. There is one ingredient that is not good for oily skin
3. It's good for preventing wrinkles, but not recommended for those who already have deep wrinkles

1. It was great to carry around as it is small and portable, perfect for travel
2. Even those sensitive to scents can use it comfortably
3. I did not feel any itchiness or irritation when applying it
4. The smooth application suggests less skin irritation
5. The oil-water balance is around 60:40
6. There was no oiliness, which was nice (good for light use)
7. There was no stickiness after application, which was great
8. Fine wrinkles and lines have definitely disappeared (100% repurchase rate)

There were no particular disappointments while using it, and I used it well.

* Dry, sensitive, and troubled skin

From the mid-20s, I've been really concerned about the forehead, under-eye area, and crow's feet.
Recently, as the weather has become dry and the cold wind has started to blow, the area under my eyes in particular has felt like it's cracking no matter what I apply, and I could see the wrinkles, so I was surprised and looked for a stick-type product that I could apply partially. This product had good reviews and was on sale, so the price was reasonable, so I decided to buy it.
After applying it, I was worried it might feel sticky, but it didn't have that feeling, and with the right amount of oil, it felt like it helped improve the wrinkles! I'm not sure if it's just my perception, but the wrinkles that had briefly appeared under my eyes visibly disappeared, and the wrinkles on my neck, which were quite pronounced, didn't disappear but looked lighter. While using it, it was easy to use and I used it without any trouble or other issues!

However, the moisturizing power is not as substantial, so it may not be ideal for use as a night care product for dry skin types.

It has a firm yet smooth application, allowing it to spread thinly without clumping or excessive shine, making it suitable for use during outdoor activities.

It was a product I received as a gift and used, but I don't really feel like repurchasing it.

Using it like a pack, my face felt nicely moisturized. :)

The best way to use this is to reapply it often, and this stick balm is great for that. After cleansing when I'm tired, I'll quickly swipe it on the delicate areas around my eyes, lips, and neck before putting on a face mask. This prevents those areas from getting too dry, unlike when I just use the mask alone. It's really helpful.

The scent is almost unscented, which is both good and a bit disappointing. While it fills the skin with oil without looking greasy, and I've tried using it on dry areas by keeping it in my bag, I do wish there was a subtle fragrance added. Although the lightweight, non-sticky feeling that envelops the skin is not burdensome, the signature rich moisturizing sensation of this type of balm did not last very long on my dry skin. However, as a convenient stick product, I can reapply it frequently, which should help.

For skin in the mid-30s that feels dry and lacks its own moisturizing properties, oil has now become essential. The product, in stick form, is compact and convenient to twist and use, allowing me to keep it on hand and reapply it easily. The non-sticky, moisturizing oil texture feels comfortable, even when reapplied frequently. When applied to the lips, it smooths over wrinkles gently without slipping.

The longevity is a bit disappointing. I'm not sure about any other downsides yet ^-^

It's great that it's not sticky and almost odorless
The performance will need to be tested more consistently, but I was happy with the brand I was using before, though I was hesitant to repurchase due to hair loss-inducing ingredients, so I'm drawn to this similar product with good ingredients ^^
