  Pros

  It applies smoothly to the skin and absorbs well. After using it for about three days, I can feel my face becoming more firm. The elasticity is particularly noticeable around the under-eye area where the skin is thin, and in the nasolabial folds. I apply it once all over, let it absorb, and then apply a second layer for extra absorption. I'm planning to keep purchasing and using this product.

  Cons

  I think it would be nice if it came in a pump bottle. Other than that, I'm quite satisfied with it so far and don't have any major complaints.

  Tip

  As I approach my mid-40s, I've become more conscious of under-eye sagging, nasolabial folds, and wrinkles on my forehead and around my mouth. I apply it once all over, then a second time for better absorption. After it's fully absorbed, I finish with a mist, serum, and cream in that order. It definitely seems to be working well.

  Pros

  I'm writing this review after winning and using the product in an event! I've developed atopic dermatitis on my face from using masks. While I'm usually fine, for those with super sensitive skin, be sure to check the ingredients carefully. When it's hot or if any skincare products (including basic ones) don't agree with your skin, it can cause a severe reaction. The product itself is fantastic. I loved the ingredients, and everything from how it absorbs to its texture was just right. It might be a bit dry if used alone in winter, but add a hydrating moisturizer and it's perfect - not too much, just nicely moisturizing.

  Cons

  The opening... even if you're careful, quite a bit of product gets stuck around the rim and cap. It's not easy to avoid, despite being cautious. Other than that, I don't have any complaints? I really like it!

  Tip

  I apply it both morning and night... In the evening, I use a bit more, almost like a mask treatment. I still use a moisturizer afterward. My routine goes: toner > aloe > essence > wait 1 minute > essence again > moisturizer. This way, you don't need a separate mask - it's plenty hydrating!!! Give it a try~ In summer, you could probably skip the moisturizer. Remember, keeping skin with atopic dermatitis well-hydrated is crucial!

  OK
  Pros

  1. Perfect size for carrying around as a portable or travel-friendly option 2. Suitable for those sensitive to fragrances 3. No tingling or irritation when applying 4. Absorbs smoothly, likely causing less skin irritation 5. The oil and moisture balance is about 60:40 6. No greasiness, great for light application 7. No sticky feeling after application 8. Noticeably smooths out fine lines (100% repurchase rate)

  Cons

  1. Might run out quickly (slightly disappointing volume for the price) 2. Contains one ingredient that's not ideal for oily skin 3. Good for wrinkle prevention, but not recommended for those with deep-set wrinkles

  Pros

  It has a firm texture but applies smoothly and thinly, so it doesn't clump or get overly greasy. This makes it great for use during outdoor activities.

  Cons

  However, its moisturizing power may not be strong enough for those with dry skin looking for a night care product. The hydration level might be a bit disappointing for such needs.

  Pros

  The application is smooth, and the subtle lavender scent is delightful. Unlike other sticks that feel too sticky, especially in this midsummer heat, this one has just the right amount of tackiness for wrinkle care. The fragrance isn't overpowering, but pleasantly balanced. It doesn't smudge excessively, which is perfect! I'm considering repurchasing.

  Cons

  A slight stickiness is to be expected for effective wrinkle management.

  Tip

  Apply it to wrinkle-prone areas like around the eyes, forehead, nasolabial folds, and neck.

  Pros

  This was my first time using a stick essence, and I loved how compact it was for easy portability. It's not sticky at all, so I could conveniently swipe it on dry areas whenever needed. The texture is closer to an oil-based balm than a hydrating product, but it's neither too hard nor too soft, allowing for smooth application. It was perfect for quickly moisturizing around the eyes or neck when I didn't feel like applying eye or neck cream.

  Cons

  When using it as a final step before cream, it seems to need a bit more time to absorb fully.

  Pros

  It's wonderfully hydrating with a smooth application and absorbs well. I've repurchased and continue to use it.

  Cons

  The only downside is that the container opening is a bit large, making it tricky to control the amount. Otherwise, it's quite good.

  Pros

  Out of all the multi-balms I've used so far, this one felt the least suffocating. It applies smoothly without feeling heavy or uncomfortable afterwards. Instead of just being refreshing, it gives a nice glow that makes your skin look great! The scent is reminiscent of something you might find in a candle.

  Cons

  The downside is that it contains shea butter, which oily skin types should avoid, and its hydration power is lacking. While it provides a glow, the moisturizing effect isn't particularly impressive. It's not very hydrating, so you might need to reapply frequently, but the stick seems to run out quickly. I liked how it felt, but it's disappointing. Since it's not very moisturizing, those with dry skin will need to apply often, but that means it'll run out fast. Based on how it feels, it would be good for oily skin types, but the shea butter content means it could potentially cause blemishes, which is a bit of a letdown.

  Tip

  Here's a pro tip: after applying, gently rub it in with your hands. This makes the glow look even more natural!

  Pros

  Absorbs smoothly without friction, perfect for nighttime care. Love that it doesn't have an overpowering scent. I have super sensitive skin that usually breaks out with the slightest mistake, but so far, no blemishes. It's encouraging me to pay more attention to my lifting massage routine.

  Cons

  It feels like it sits on the skin a bit? But since I use it for nighttime care, it's not really a big issue.

  Tip

  Don't scoop out too much product at once. It's hard to remove if dust gets stuck to it!

  Pros

  Sleek packaging Great portability Absorbs well without feeling heavy An anti-wrinkle stick that's incredibly useful for those in their late 20s and beyond Love that it doesn't cause any blemishes after use I've used about 1/5 of it, and I can feel it hydrating the fine lines around my eyes, giving me confidence it'll be effective for wrinkle prevention

  Cons

  The price point might be a bit steep for some, but considering it's not a product you'll use up quickly, I think it's worth the investment

  Tip

  You can apply it meticulously around your eyes before makeup without worrying about pilling, making it perfect for your pre-makeup routine
