Does the compact open? I really like the push idea but wanted to make my own cc cream to put inside the compact.

I don't think so. It seals shut. I think if you try to open it you might break it. You can only replace the whole case with the refill pack.

No. Once finished this cream you have to change anorher one, I don't think there is refill available.

Today I went to put it in my coffee, and it looked like it has curcled, such as when regular cream goes bad. However, all it needed was to be shaken as it had separated. So be sure to always shake it up well.

Mine opens and closes prefect when full. I only have a personal size machine on the top with no problems.

yes it's open I really like the design for my purposes. I turn mine so it's long and it works out great. I hope this helps.

Frankly, I never had any issues with the "fill ring" opening by surprise when using the mill, there is no distinct click. Magnum Pepper Mill is my favorite. I've gifted a few to family & friends & everybody agrees it's extremely durable & dependable. Other reviewers have mentioned fill-ring issue & it has never opened once on me while in use! Happy cooking! Best, MC

Hello Kathleen, I had the same frustration for a few minutes until I accidentally squeezed the cap and, "Pop!" It opened. Now, I realized that the design is clever to prevent accidental opening from pulling on the cap.Hope that helps.

You can't open it. Just tilt it a bit. The way u open a Johnson baby powder. The powder will enter the sponge and u can see the brown powder at the top of the sponge. Just use the sponge directly on ur skin. Then tilt it back so it closes. I hope this helps.

Yes, definitely! In fact, the writing on the container says that this snail cream is supposed to be one of the first things you put on your face, so it would go underneath foundation, sun screen, BB cream, etc. That said, I've realized that certain foundations tend to "clump" a bit when I put them on on top of this cream, so I sometimes have to rub in the foundation carefully. But these days since I'm always in a rush in the morning, I don't have time to do my makeup that carefully, so I usually just wear this cream at night (which I've actually found to be more effective in my case). I've never tried putting sun screen on top of this, but I imagine it could work. Yes, definitely!

Mine opened just not easily. I held the unit in both hands and pressed in the direction of the arrow with both thumbs. It required more pressure than I expected. Good luck!

No, at least not the one I bought. It could go through a pump I think BUT it's a bit thicker. I just scoop it out with my fingers...it's more a cream than a lotion. It is really nice stuff!

I had a little trouble with this at first, but it just takes a little pressure to get it into and out of the slot. Remember: There is a screw-on barrel that you only use with the charger while you're shaking the cream initially, then it gets screwed off, and the head goes on. At first I was like...how am I supposed to get all this stuff on at once? But it's a step 1, step 2 kind of thing.Good luck!

No. It is a simple push button. Probably easy to get pushed unless you keep some small bubble wrap in a ziplock bag?

Ran into the same issue at first. You can use a coin or a corner of an old credit card and press down in the little slot hard enough and it should slide open easily. Don't force it.

Despite other respondent's answer, the lid on mine will not stay open, whether using your hand or the pedal. It automatically closes either way.

I find it easier to open if I hold it with my thumb on the silver thumbscrew and index finger on the black knob. It should open relatively easily with a fluid motion of both fingers. Push up with your thumb and pull back with your index. It shouldn't need oiling if it's brand new.

I have a couple of different types of these. This one is a little stiff to open. Some of them you have to press down on the cover while turning to open it. Try that. If it doesn't work I'll get mine in hand and talk you through it.

i didnt have problem on my vanicream when i first twist/open the jar. it should extend up & stay.from there you can just pump when you need to get cream.
