I love that this product combines both a firming balm and a wrinkle balm. It's so convenient to use - you just glide it on effortlessly. I've tried many balms lately, but this one seems to be really effective, so it's become my go-to. It reminds me of Missha's famous purple ampoule, but in balm form. After using it for a week on my eye wrinkles and smile lines, I was amazed to see that the wrinkles seemed to have faded a bit. I'm definitely going to keep using it!
ConsIt might be a bit too rich for those with oily skin. Unfortunately, it doesn't leave a matte finish after application.

ConsAfter application, there's a slight feeling of excess product, so you need to take time to massage and roll it in, and pat it with your hands to ensure maximum absorption When applied at night, it feels oily and sticky on the skin, so there's no powdery finish, and it pills under makeup. That's why I only use it in the evening, true to its 'Night Repair' name The price?.. It seems expensive for what I initially thought was just a simple stick product, but considering other multi-sticks are also in the $20-30 range, I guess it's par for the course
TipSince hair tends to stick to it easily, I recommend tying your hair back after application Also, it's best to apply it as a final step after cleansing, skincare, and using a sheet mask in the evening

I thought it'd be so convenient to use without getting your hands messy, and after trying Missha's Ampoule Balm Stick, I can confirm it's super easy to just glide on. I hate getting sticky emulsions or sunscreens on my hands, so I always use a sponge for sunscreen. That's why I really appreciated not having to touch this product. It's perfect for quickly applying when you're heading out bare-faced. I have some fine lines around my eyes, smile lines, and neck wrinkles, so I applied it diligently. First off, I loved the design. The ethereal purple color and the lovely purple center of the ampoule balm made me want to use it more often. After applying, it felt like my skin was filled with nourishment. When I touched my face, it felt incredibly hydrated. It's not lightweight, but very moisturizing, giving the impression that all my wrinkles would smooth out. Haha! Knowing it provides all-in-one care for firmness, wrinkles, and hydration made me excited to use it. I usually dislike heavy products, so I've never used anything this moisturizing before. By my standards, it felt like I was getting an intense dose of nutrition all at once. While using it, I haven't seen any dramatic effects yet, but I felt those areas becoming tighter, so I kept applying it diligently. Also, I prefer products with a slight scent rather than unscented ones. I'm not sure how to describe this fragrance, but it's a subtle floral scent? Anyway, I enjoyed the pleasant aroma. In conclusion, I think this product would work well for those concerned about wrinkles or with dry (even very dry) skin, providing good care.
ConsI prefer a matte finish, but this product is so moisturizing that while it might be great for wrinkle and firmness care, it was actually a downside for me. It felt too dewy, almost greasy, and a bit heavy on my skin (please refer to the before/after photos). I suspect those with oily skin might feel this even more intensely. (I have dry skin, but I'm just guessing...) My hair would stick to it, and it felt tacky, making me think it might not be ideal for summer use. There was a tip to massage in circular motions, which I tried diligently, but not only during the massage - even when I was applying it to my neck in side-to-side motions, the balm kept sliding down... ugh. I also use Bobbi*** foundation balm, and those who've tried it will understand - I wish this product would set firmly like that when applied. It was really disappointing that I had to keep reapplying it as it slid down.
TipTo address the drawbacks I mentioned above, don't hold the body of the stick - instead, grip the twisting part when applying, and the balm won't retract. (It's obvious, but since it kept sliding down, that's how you should use it... unless... could it be just mine that's sliding down...? Hmm...) For those like me who dislike the dewy finish, applying a mattifying emulsion as the final step can help counteract it a bit.
