How to use
Use during the day when you are concerned about dryness, wrinkles, or makeup breakdown, or when touching up your makeup. Extend the stick about 5mm, apply directly to the area of concern, and gently pat with your fingers to blend. If desired, apply face powder on top. When touching up your makeup, we recommend wiping away excess sweat and sebum beforehand. Because this is a soft balm, do not extend it more than 5mm. Also, be careful not to press it in too hard, as this may cause the balm to crumble. Be careful not to let the container's opening come into contact with your skin.

It's super convenient for touching up your makeup! It's rare that I've used up all of this cosmetic! When touching up your makeup, let the balm soak into your skin, lightly press it with a sponge, and then apply concealer for a beautiful finish!

I hadn't heard of this beauty stick before, and thought it looked similar to IPSA, so I bought it. IPSA is softer, while this one is a little firmer. I know it's not recommended for use on red areas, but I use it because I'm concerned about dryness. I have sensitive, atopic skin, so it stings. I'll write another review once I've used it up. The product seems to blend in well, and I like it.
I used to use IPSA sticks to touch up my makeup, but they would run out quickly, so I bought this. I thought the texture might be a little harder than IPSA, but it was surprisingly easy to use and lasts a long time, so it's good value for money.
It's a good idea to keep it in your bag. It's great to apply around your eyes and mouth when they're dry and flaky due to mask use or dryness. I think it's better to dab it in with your fingers rather than applying it directly, especially when using it over foundation.
