HoMedics FAC-1 A Facial Sauna and Inhaler

LISTEN To Other Reviews!! It's ok, but Does Not Work Well!! After buying this I went back to buying another of the one I had... WITH NO TIMER!!

I've had mine for a long time, but use it infrequently. It's a bit of a pain because it runs out of water for the steam really fast, and unless you use distilled water, it's prone to scale. Also, the steam concentrators are seated very shallow and are easy to knock over. I'm surprised I haven't broken them yet. Aside from that, the facial sauna is a nice thing to have for a variety of uses. I'm just keeping an eye out for one that's more stable.

We purchased this about 2 years ago and faithfully get it out of the cupboard when we are down with a cold or flu. We do not use it so much as a facial steamer or pore "opener-upper", but more as a personal vaporizor. It does, however, leave your skin feeling great which is a nice treat when you're sick! It is a nice product, and I do recommend it to any who are interested in this purchase. The only drawback or annoyance would be the small amount of water it holds, not that big of a deal but if it were bigger, the steam would last longer, and you wouldn't have to fill it so often. *TIP* Keep a tall glass of water close by for quick refills! Overall, though, a great product.

I have acne prone skin. I assumed that once I hit my 30's, I'd be done with acne, greasy skin, large pores etc. WRONG! Now, in addition to oily skin and large pores, I'm getting the hormonal acne (chin area) where the bumps are deep in the dermal layer. Also, I'm beginning to get blackheads! My tea tree oil soap works great with keeping my skin clear and maintaining oil production, but it was obvious that I needed a little more help. That's where this thing comes in. I've actually owned it for over FIVE years and never really had a need to use it. Well, because of the blackheads, I pulled it out of the closet. It works! I used it every other day, for 15 minutes, for one week. Afterwards, I'd go over my skin with some witch hazel and apply Aloe Vera; It worked! Now I used it three times a week. This is great for skin issues. Most of the reviews seem to focus on sinus infections. I thought it would be nice to add one for the skin. I have noticed a reduction in pore size too. I've added this to my skin care routine in order to keep my skin clear.

This works O.K. but I wished I had not purchased it. There is not much to it and takes a while to heat up. I only used it twice and I am going to get rid of it.

This is a compact little facial sauna/ vaporizer combo! It heats up quickly and is simple to use. It is very helpful in cleaning one's pores when using it as a sauna. It is very helpful to unclog ones nose when used as a vaporizer! This item comes with a special vaporizer attachment which is very comfortable and pleasant to use! The only disappointment I have with this item is that the directions tell us not to put medication in the little cup, only water. I would of liked to put some Vicks in, when I use it for my sinus/ allergy condition. I am afraid to try this, I guess if the directions say not to do it, I will break my sauna/vaporizer. :-(

I love this product! I had one but it broke when I dropped it. I was so happy to find another. It is very soothing and ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for relieving sinus pressure. The amount of steam is just right.
