Freshen Up Your Skin With This Pore Purifying Scrub Stick And Deep Clean Your Pores On The Go. Perfect For Those Last-Minute Holiday Touch-UPS!
Review: "This product may look small but it is MIGHTY! I have combination skin (usually oily with dry patches) and am forever picking at my pores. My nose especially gets super fun blackheads. NOT ANYMORE! And if anything does pop up, removal is a breeze because my skin is so much healthier and it lifts right out and I can apply some toner or tea tree oil. I also make my husband use it and his blackheads/whiteheads/dry skin on face is noticeably brighter and clearer." — Andrea

My left eye has completely cleared up. My right under eye (being the worst) is definitely less dark, and puffy. I feel more like myself. I will never stop using this." — Kristine

Debunked. This is a scam product. No evidence to support the use of blue-blocking lens filters in the prevention of digital eye strain.

My feet looked FAR worse over the summer. I was trying almost everything balms, grinding, ..., but nothing worked. After the summer, I bought new boots from some barefood brand. In a month, the feet looks like in the "after" and are slowly healing. The problem were flip flops I wore all summer, completely destroying my heels. Just get a good pair of boots!

One sticker significantly dimmed the light, but the light still lit up a little bit of the area where it is plugged in. Two stickers eliminated the light’s radiance completely. Why do they make these lights so bright? Anyway, I’m very happy with this product!" — erinisntrad

I have one of these, or something similar. It does work well, but the reservoir tends to fill up stupidly quickly with three cats. It is however still extremely satisfying to use 😌
