Spa at home!
By JeepGirl78 on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2024
Summary:I was hesitant but so glad I bought this. I’ve been trying to be very mindful of my skin as I approach 50. I’ve noticed large pores and some blackheads on the sides of my nose. This facial steamer puts out quite a punch! The skin care tools provided with it are helpful for extractions too. The steam does get quite hot, but of course, you can get as close or as far from it as you need. The first time I used it, I immediately put on a Dead Sea Pore Refining mask afterwards. The steam opens the pores, so I figured that would be a good way for the mask to really get into the problem areas. The second time, I used my cleanser, then toner, then serum immediately after. It’s important to remember that the steam will open up the pores, so you can take advantage of that by applying a good cleanser or mask after use.While I bought this for actual skin care treatment, I will say that I find it so relaxing to use, so it can definitely be used if you just want to unwind from a long day. Added bonus - you’d be treating your skin at the same time!Color: not really any kind of a deal breaker for me. I do like that you can choose one of a few colors, but I had actually forgotten about that until writing this review anyway. If color matters to you, then just know you can choose yours!Value for money: this is WELL worth the cost.Durability: I haven’t had this long, so I can’t really comment on durability but it does seem to be high quality.Leakage: Be careful when transporting the steamer from one place to another while the reservoir has water in it. It will drip out if tilted. But I wouldn’t call this leakage. When set in place, whether being used or not, there hasn’t been any leakage at all yet.

Good, but there are better options

TL;DR: This steamer worked well for me for the price, though it got mold and I had 2 models break in as many years. I recently got a more expensive steamer that works much better.More informationI purchased this steamer in 2019 to help with clogged sinuses and clogged pores. It did help on both fronts. For about 1-2 years, I used it close to every day to open up my sinuses before sinus rinsing and I believe it helped me avoid sinus infections. I also bought the same steamer for my sister as a gift. When my steamer broke, she gave me hers. Which also broke a few months later.At the time, the steamer felt like good value for the price. The blackhead removal tools that came with it have been helpful. I never used the steamer towel chamber. I didn't need the large water reservoir, and in fact, mold grew in it at one point. My solution was to only fill the reservoir partway because I would generally only steam for ~5 minutes. I did notice this product now advertises "nano steam" and "negative ions", which makes me skeptical given the fraud in the negative ion products.I recently got a sinus infection recently and decided to go back to steaming. This time I took a risk on a more expensive steamer hoping to find a sturdier option. (I tried https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Dennis-Gross-Facial-Steamer/dp/B071FNYPM4). Out of the box, the new one is significantly better. Specifically 1) it's much smaller/takes up less space, 2) the steam begins much more quickly with less wait and 3) it produces a much higher quantity of steam at a fast rate. I don't know if it will last longer, but it does seem to be a sturdier build. Potential downsides: 1) it doesn't have a towel chamber (which I don't need) and 2) the reservoir is smaller (a good thing for me given my short steaming time and the mold problem).Bottom line: This particular model seems to win on price, and it helped me with sinus problems and clogged pores. If you are optimizing for quality over price, there are better options.
