Pros
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)
Cons
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

Pros
Sleek packaging Great portability Not too heavy in application As a wrinkle-improving stick, it's a very useful item to use from the late 20s onwards No breakouts after using, which is good After using about 1/5 of it, I feel that the fine wrinkles around my eyes have become more moisturized, so it seems to be good for wrinkle prevention
Cons
It may be a bit burdensome in terms of price, but since it's not a product that gets used up quickly, I think it's still worth it
Tip
It doesn't smear if applied before makeup, so you can apply it carefully around the eyes and then do your makeup

Pros
First, I opened it and the scent is so lovely. It's not a strong floral scent, but more of a refreshing herbal flower aroma? The color and design are also pretty. As I'm turning 30, I've been worried about managing the wrinkles around my eyes, but after applying it, my skin definitely feels more moisturized and I'm satisfied. It seems to also help with firmness, so I'm looking forward to using it consistently and getting a two-in-one benefit. The stick format makes it easy to apply quickly without a mirror, so I find myself reaching for it often.
Cons
The price range is a bit disappointing. I usually purchase Leaders products through a dermatologist, but they're too expensive for me to use regularly.
Tip
I keep it on my desk and apply it whenever my skin feels dry. The areas I've been applying it to have felt noticeably more moisturized within a few days.

Pros
👍🏻 The fragrance that gently wafts up after application is much better than the initial scent before using the product!! 👍🏻 The stick format is convenient for carrying around 👍🏻 It applies smoothly without feeling thick or sticky - good application 👍🏻 After cleansing and applying toner and essence, the moisturizing effect lasts longer. It would be great to use this product in the dry winter season
Cons
The quantity is a bit disappointing considering the price ☹️ It would be better if it were a little more affordable
Tip
It works better when applied after cleansing rather than before makeup It is useful for managing neck wrinkles

Pros
🔹️ I really liked that the stick-type product doesn't get on my hands and is easy to apply! 🔹️ Another great advantage of the stick form is its portability! I can carry it around and easily take it out to apply anytime. 🔹️ Even though it's a stick, it's not soft but firm, so the application is great. 🔹️ The scent is not too overpowering, but subtle, which I liked.
Cons
🔸️ As a product that claims to provide elasticity and radiance, it really lacks moisture. It's just full of oil, so I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin types. 🔸️ The firm stick form makes it a bit limited in terms of applying all over the face. 🔸️ Considering the actual effects, the price range is a bit on the higher side in my opinion. But this could be because I've only used it for 2 weeks, so my opinion might change later.

Pros
[Skin Type] Combination skin that is oily in the T-zone and prone to frequent skin troubles, despite being dry. ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ *Scores for each item are indicated with "♡" out of a 5-point scale. ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ [Spreadability] ♡♡♡♡♡ I thought it would be thick and stiff since it's a stick, but it glides on smoothly and feels great.♡ [Absorption] ♡♡♡♡♡ I thought a stick format would be oily, but it's not sticky at all and leaves a moisturized, not greasy, feeling. It's surprisingly soft and powdery!!! This is the part I'm most satisfied with!!! [Fragrance] ♡♡♡♡♡ I thought it would be fragrance-free, but it has a subtle, delicate scent. I highly recommend this to those who dislike fragrance in cosmetics.
Cons
A common disappointment with stick cosmetics is the price and volume, and this one is no exception - the slightly high price and small volume are a bit disappointing.
Tip
After showering and doing my basic skincare routine, applying this product as the final touch, focusing on the areas that dry well, is really great.

Pros
I purchased it through the Hwahae Trial Reviewer! I was selected and got to try it out. (There was no mention of product support or reviews, just my personal experience.) I mostly used it on my neck and eye area! I usually applied it as the last step after my skincare routine! 1. It's convenient to use and carry around. As a stick type, I can quickly apply it after my nighttime skincare routine while using my laptop, or at the office when my skin feels dry. Unlike tube-type creams, I can just swipe it on without getting it on my hands. 2. The oil content is just right. I tried the most famous stick-type product before, but it was too oily, so I applied for this event and won. I've been using it for over a week, and I really like that it's not too greasy. I haven't had any milia pop up around my eyes while using it. 3. It's affordable. It's cheaper than other stick-type products. Since it uses oils to deeply moisturize and fill in fine lines, I don't think expensive products are necessary. 4. It doesn't attract dust. Whether I leave the stick open or apply it to my face, there's no dust sticking to the product or my skin. My hair doesn't get stuck to it either. The oil has a firm, non-greasy texture, so it doesn't seem to collect as much dust. 5. It has multiple uses. I've used it for the undereye area, to manage fine lines around the eyes and neck, as a cuticle cream, a pre-concealer moisturizer, and to wipe away makeup buildup. 6. I can see how much I've used. Being able to visually see how much I've used is satisfying and makes me feel like I'm really taking care of my skin.
Cons
1. Hygiene management is a hassle. With tube-type creams, only a certain amount comes out, but with this stick, it's constantly exposed to air once opened. After applying makeup, if I need to dab some on while out, I have to wipe the stick clean with a tissue or cotton pad before reapplying my foundation. 2. The volume is small compared to the usage amount. As you can see in the fourth photo, I used quite a bit in just one week. The convenience and portability make me use more than expected, which leads to the volume being a problem.
Tip
1. Applying it before concealer prevents the concealer from creasing! 2. When I want to temporarily conceal neck wrinkles while out, it has an immediate effect! 3. Applying it to the cuticles under my nails hydrates them and makes my nails look healthier! 4. If I have any makeup buildup while out, I can apply this, wipe it off with a tissue, and then reapply my makeup for a flawless finish! (The second photo shows how much I used in a week - the app limits how many high-quality photos I can upload, so I couldn't include more 😭)

Pros
My skin is extremely sensitive, so I never even imagined using a wrinkle cream as a basic skincare product. But the Leaders Stick has no harmful ingredients, so I decided to give it a try. And I didn't experience any breakouts!!! If it works for my skin, it should work for others too. The stick type is great because it's easy to apply frequently and carry around. Thanks to Leaders, I've finally found my holy grail product! I used to not be able to use wrinkle creams because they would cause breakouts, but now with this stick, I can tackle both wrinkles and breakouts. I'm so grateful. My mom has been using the Leaders ampoule-type cream since I was young, and she says it really helps reduce wrinkles. She was so sad when the product was discontinued, and nothing else could compare. After just a week of using this, I can really see a difference in my wrinkles. Since I hardly used anything before, the effects are amazing! You have to try this right away!!! I'm going to get the toning stick too, I love it so much!!!
Cons
There's nothing I dislike! The only thing is, if the price was a bit lower, I would buy it like crazy haha.
Tip
Be sure to apply it before makeup. It helps minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines after makeup, so it makes you look younger! I love it so much!!!

Pros
🙆🏻‍♀️At first, I thought it was odorless, but after applying it, the subtle fragrance that wafts up is so nice! 🙆🏻‍♀️The glide is great! I've tried other stick products, but this doesn't feel thick and sticky as it applies - it glides on smoothly. 🙆🏻‍♀️It's not overly oily. I compared it to other products, and there is a bit of a tacky feeling, but it's not greasy at all as long as you don't touch it. 🙆🏻‍♀️I've been applying it a lot under my eyes and on neck wrinkles, and it's so easy to use. Especially for the neck area, it's tricky to apply creams from bottom to top, but with this stick I can just swipe it on easily, which seems great for managing neck wrinkles.
Cons
🤷🏻‍♀️The price seems a bit high. Unlike creams, this product gets used up quickly when you swipe it on, so I'm not sure if I'd be willing to continuously pay almost 30,000 won for it.
Tip
🙇🏻‍♀️Honestly, do those products that claim to eliminate wrinkles even exist? Without procedures, I don't think skincare products can achieve that. But they can help delay the appearance of potential wrinkles a bit, especially by providing good hydration. In that sense, this product seems like it could play a decent supporting role.

Pros
My skin is sensitive and oily, and the product I'm currently using doesn't seem to absorb well even after a long time. This one, however, absorbs quickly and has less oil, which is great. The stick format is also very easy to apply. It's also nice that it can be used for moisturizing and on the eye and neck areas.
Cons
Since this is a balm-type stick, I feel like it might get used up quickly if I apply it in various areas, so the amount for the price is a bit disappointing.
