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.

"The Revlon Oil Absorbing Volcanic Roller, I've never actually tried it because it's always been sold out when I've gone to check for it, I could never find it before. I'd probably say smash even though I haven't tried it, it looks super sexy, the way that it mattifies the skin has my name written all over it."

"It's a face roller made out of volcanic stone that actually sucks up the oil on your face. It absorbs it lightly. If you have extremely oily skin or have really bad breakouts, this might be nice to gently absorb the excess. But I have my reservations, and my reservations are not with the device itself but with you because I don't trust you. I've seen dirty beauty blenders lying around in patients' makeup bags, and I think this is going to probably be one of those bacteria-loving devices. The investment is about nine bucks. You have to wash this very well every day because you do not want to be reapplying bacteria and gunk and smudge and oil all over your face. I think it's interesting that they chose to do it in this color—if it were me I would have rather it had been stark white so you could see everything on it. I find this is a little bit deceiving."
