Review:“Every time my period is on it’s way, I get a bunch of little acne that can turn into worse acne. Problem areas are my cheeks and chin. I forgot to take a before picture but my cheek was like dotted with red and pink. They looked almost like freckles. Now my cheek is like 80% better and all I did was fall asleep in it.” -Burgi

Review:“I love that this is reusable! No more buying lint rollers! It does a great job of getting lint off and comes clean when rinsing under water.
