    I love it but I did read the comments on it being a revised version so I may agree, although I've never used the old version, that it can be better in how you have to manage the use of it. I have a difficult time putting the cap back on and holding it steady while putting it on.

    Great moisture & packaging!

    So far so good with this new item. I think the packaging is terrific. You could easily slip this into a purse or gym bag for on the go use. The good stuff inside is a dream... readily absorbs and leaves my skin feeling happy.

    Please bring back the Glow Stone

    I agree with the vast majority of reviews here - this is a far inferior product to the old face stones. I've never written an online review before, but wanted to chime in, with the hope of being able to order the glow stone again. I've loved many of your products, and the old glow stone was fantastic - deeply hydrating, soothing, and actually made my skin glow. This new product feels like trying to scrape wax on my face. As others said, the cardboard tube is just not good. The old jar and stone felt like a treat, and honestly I think it was easier for travel, because I just used the muslin to wrap up whatever amount I had left and threw that in my bag. The cardboard tube is actually far bulkier to pack, and it's a pain to use and get the cap back on. I would overlook packaging if the product itself were worth it, but this new formula isn't even hydrating or nourishing - it just sits on top of my skin and my skin was flaky by morning. Please bring back the originals!! Until then, I will have to look elsewhere for facial care.

    So far so good

    Seems similar to the unscented stone they used to have so it's working for me. I do like the paper container it is in, great for travel.

    I've been on the new formula for about a week and it's really nice. I loved the glow stone, so I'm hopeful for the new formula.

    Minimal and Effective

    I for one love the new packaging. It is easy to use and not bulky like the glass jars. It’s also great for travel. And, of course, the balm itself is hydrating and soothing. Great for sensitive skin. I highly recommend.

    Please bring back the glow

    Glow was my favorite product and now it’s gone. Pleaseeeeeee bring it back. When this company was small they had great products and now that it blew up, it sucks. I want to love it like I use to but it’s just not the same anymore. Will prob be my last order unless they bring back the Glow face stone.

    Disappointed

    I am a big fan of your body and face stones , have purchased several over the years for myself, family and friends. The original face stones were lovely, easy to apply, smooth and emollient..the packaging was sophisticated and elegant…unfortunately the new face balm is a major disappointment, the packaging is minimal and would be nice for traveling ….however the new formula is awful!…very hard to apply, it like

    Putting a thick wax candle on your face …I tried it with a wet face, dry face and even blasted it with my hair dryer to soften it up..nothing worked…so I will use it on my feet to soften mt heels…I hope the formula can be tweaked to bring it closer to the original formulation.
