Apparently, this product doesn't contain any formula inside it that enables it to get rid of unwanted facial shine! Its power relies on natural volcanic stone, as you will see in brand claims. This stone contains several microscopic pores that effectively absorbs facial sebum effortlessly! That means there’s nothing to worry about here for ladies with sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin!

Various beauty tools and cosmetics brands have come out with their own volcanic face rollers. Here’s a list of picks you can shop today:

1. Revlon

The most popular volcanic roller of them all comes from Revlon, which was the brand that the majority of online reviews featured. At P999, it's quite the beauty investment, but promises results like combating shine with ease, as it's made with real volcanic stone.

Happy Skin

Local brand Happy Skin offers us their version of this product at a lower cost of Php 299! The compact roller is an earth-friendly alternative to our good old blotting sheets, and is reusable and washable, too! According to the brand, it's 'derived from lava and minerals, is a permeable substance covered with microscopic pores to effectively absorb oil. It is 100% safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin.'

Sparkle Oil-Absorbing Volcanic Face Roller

Here's a budget-friendly pick we found on Shopee Mall—the Sparkle Face Roller. It promises all the same claims as the high-end ones, but can be purchased for just P169, and is a smaller size compared to its counterparts. It comes in a chic metallic packaging, which is great for packing in your day bag!

Lovito Oil-Absorbing Volcanic Face Roller

Just when we thought we found the cheapest option, one product that has sold a whopping 5,900+ pieces on Shopee Mall is this face roller by Lovito. Available in black, white, and pink case colors, this pick is one you can totally buy in threes, as it is only P86! Washable, reusable, and promises to get rid of unwanted shine, this roller makes sure your T-zone stays matte and fresh. Worth a try!

If you ask us, blotting oil from your face with a volcanic roller definitely looks more pleasant than doing so with blotting paper. It's something you can easily do while you're out! We say go for it and make the switch! —Charlisse Chua
