“I got the pleasure of using the machine for 2 weeks. Let’s just start by saying how amazed I was. Not only did it make my makeup look flawless, but my skin became poreless, smoother and clear from all the blemishes I get. People were noticing! They would say things like “Wow your makeup looks great! Did you do anything different?” Being a hairstylist using fumes and hairspray, heat and products, I usually get super oily midday, but using the machine before doing my makeup, I wouldn’t have to retouch it. Favorite machine and total beauty changer.”
– Nas A., Orange County, CA
“I started using the device on October 16, 2019. I’ve had oily skin my entire life and after using the device even just one day I could tell a difference. I usually have to use facial blotting papers everyday at about 11:00 am because I can feel the oiliness begin on my face. I didn’t even think about using the papers even after the first day of using the device. It was pretty fantastic.
As I continued to use the device over the next 2 weeks I noticed that face seemed smoother. Before using the device I would have to put my moisturizer on and then wait for about 5-7 minutes for it to absorb into my skin before applying my foundation. I noticed that when I used the device I didn’t have to wait. My moisturizer soaked into my skin right away & I was able to apply my foundation immediately. My foundation also seemed to glide over my skin better.
Also before using the device if I was going out after work I would have to take my old makeup off & reapply new makeup because of all the oiliness. I didn’t have to do that while I was using the device. It was amazing! I can’t say enough great things about this device and I can’t wait to be able to purchase one. It’s super easy to use and takes only 15 seconds to make a difference on a daily basis.
Thank you for allowing me to try this out!”
