What the gurus are saying
This volcanic stone roller absorbs oil from oily or breakout-prone skin, but dermatologists split on whether it's worth the hygiene trade-off. One expert praises its mattifying effect, though she hadn't tested it. The other finds it promising for heavy oil but worries it becomes a bacteria magnet, volcanic stone's dark color hides buildup, and most people won't wash it thoroughly enough daily to stay safe. At nine dollars, it's a low-risk try, but those who pick one up may want to commit to a rigorous daily rinse.
