What the gurus are saying

One expert found the grinding dispenser a genuine convenience for facial massage and praised how easily it lets people avoid dipping fingers into a jar. However, another reviewer appreciated the novel mechanism but felt the product itself didn't stand out as a favorite, suggesting the grinding feature may be more memorable than the cleanse it delivers. Those drawn to cleansing balms primarily for massage work may find it worth trying; those seeking a standout formula might want to test it first.

"I actually am not a big fan of this. It's not a trash product by any means, but it's not my all-time favorite. This is a grinding balm, and that's what made it originally very viral because the mechanism is very different. Instead of a jar like packaging where you would open it up and scoop out the balm with a spatula, this twists and shaves the cleansing balm off and you scoop it right off the top. I do kind of like that aspect of it, but the grinding mechanism itself..."

"As cleansing balms go, this one I really, really enjoy, particularly for doing a facial massage, which is a great way to start an anti-aging skincare routine. It's great for people that don't like sticking their fingers in the cleansing balm, this is a nice easy way to dispense it, and it does a great facial massage. There's lots of different cleansing balms out there, but for facial massage I found this was easy, convenient, and definitely did the job."
