I used to use cleansing water, but my skin was getting too dry and tight, so I switched to an oil. 1. Convenience Water-based or liquid oils can be a bit inconvenient to use. They can sometimes be messy and spill, but this product is in a stick form, so it's so easy to use cleanly. You just swipe it directly on your bare face, add a bit of water, massage it in, and then rinse - done! It's a perfect travel-friendly product. 2. Volume Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for the volume, and just bought it to try. I thought a stick product would run out quickly. But it's lasted much longer than I expected! Normally, the packaging takes up about 30% of the total volume, but with this product, the case size is pretty much the full size of the product. 3. Scrub I just saw the oil stick and bought it, but it turns out it has a scrub component too! There are little granules or seeds in it, and they feel so refreshing when you massage it in. But it might be too harsh for those with sensitive skin. 4. Cleansing Power/No Tightness This is my favorite part. The water-based cleansers would leave my skin feeling really tight afterwards, but this product leaves my skin feeling clean but not at all stripped. The cleansing power is strong enough that you don't need a double cleanse. But those who like that squeaky-clean feeling might not love it.
Cons1. Stick Size Too Large The volume is great, but the stick itself is quite chunky, so it's a bit tricky to use in more precise areas like around the nose. 2. Scrub Grains Irritating On days when my skin is extra sensitive, using this can be a bit stinging, as the scrub grains can aggravate any blemishes. It might not be suitable for those with very sensitive skin. Overall though, it's a product I'm quite happy with, so the downsides are minor.
TipAfter using the stick, be sure to rinse it briefly under running water and store it properly. The stick is quite chunky, but the case fits it perfectly, so make sure to twist it all the way back in and close the case tightly!
