You just need to open the lid, twist, and gently apply under the eyes, so it's super convenient! 2. Gentle! I was worried about eye irritation, but there was none, and there were no side effects like peeling skin!
Cons1. Formulation issue Since it's a balm type, it hardens in cold weather and has a dry, soap-like texture. So if you just use it as is, the formula doesn't melt, and it actually ends up drawing moisture from the skin. I had to put it on an electric heating pad and under a blanket for an hour to slightly melt it before applying. It's a real hassle. This is why I'm really reluctant to use it. 2. Scent It has a banana peel scent! It's not too strong, but it's a bit disappointing. 3. The cooling, moisturizing, and dark circle reducing effects mentioned in the product description were not noticeable. It might be better to just buy a cheaper eye cream.
TipIf you melt the formula before use, you can apply it smoothly.

On days when I didn't wear makeup, I would reapply it whenever I felt tightness in my laugh lines or around the edges of my face, and it went on comfortably without feeling stuffy. -No breakouts I remember the stick balms I used before would cause breakouts wherever I applied them. But this one doesn't do that. I've been using it diligently, and not even a single small pimple has appeared. -Generous amount I've been using it morning, noon, and night since I received it, and it hasn't diminished at all. The original amount was quite substantial and generous. -Moisturizes the eye area I have very dark circles and thin eye skin. I don't have wrinkles yet, but in the winter, after applying foundation, the skin under my eyes would start to crease over time. But when I use this and then apply my makeup, the eye area feels comfortable, and there's less creasing. If it starts to look a bit uneven, I just dab a bit more of the stick and press with a cushion, and it smooths out nicely.
Cons-Dry, stiff texture On particularly cold days, this one gets just as hard and stiff as the others. It feels like there's barely any product coming off when I apply it, almost as if it's not melting at all.😮 Especially when I try to use it on the delicate eye area, the stick pulls at the thin skin and hurts. I have to wait for it to soften up a bit in a warmer place before I can apply it comfortably. -Thick, chunky shape A slimmer, longer shape would be much more convenient. It works well on broader areas like the neck, but because it's so thick and chunky, it feels more like it's bumping against the face rather than gliding on smoothly when I try to apply it to contoured areas like the eyes or around the face.
TipWhen it's hardened, you can rub it a few times firmly on your neck or the back of your hand before applying it to your face, and it will go on more smoothly☁️

This was actually preferable. *Eye Irritation: I was worried about using this product around the eyes, but it was completely comfortable with no irritation. This indicates the absence of harsh ingredients. *Moisture Retention: Despite my oily skin and age-related fine lines and dryness around the eyes, this product kept the area moisturized throughout the night.
ConsHowever, the reason I could only give it two stars is... ㅜㅜ The product description said it could also be used on the lips, and I happened to win an event just as my lip balm was running out, so I was really happy. But unlike the eye area, when I applied it to my lips, it started out feeling moist and watery, but after just 10-20 seconds, it became sticky and dried out. Normally, lip balms can be smoothed over the lips even after washing, maintaining soft, flake-free lips. But with this, my lips felt as dry and rough as a desert dweller's, with the product stubbornly adhering to the flaky skin. I ended up using it daily for the review, but in the end, my lips felt irritated and inflamed.
TipWhile this may be suitable for thin facial skin, it seems one should use caution when applying it to areas prone to flakiness.
