Fantastic! Works great for when you need to open up the poor and do a deep clean!
Also, love the fact that you can add essential oils to it!
As well as being small enough to be able to put away without taking up too much space!

Love my streamer. I take it everywhere with me. The oils option is great and it comes with three different lids. It really sets the vibes and preps your skin for the rest of your skin care regiment.

This is a great addition to any skincare regimen. Steam opens up your facial pores so the dirt and oils can be released. The instructions for this unit are Terrible, with a capital T. Upon first inspecting this unit, I couldn’t figure out how to open the tank. Steam comes from water, so I knew there had to be a tank somewhere. There’s a flat patch on the back, so I knew it was here, but nowhere in the instructions does it say how to get the water tank out. So I’m sharing a picture here. Use thumb pressure to push the patch upwards, and the tank should come up and out of the unit. Fill this little tank with distilled water. This amount of water should last over 15 minutes, which is the amount of time for one treatment. This unit should really come with a funnel so you can get water into the narrow tank neck, but I borrowed my funnel from the kitchen to do it.
Once you plug in and turn on the unit with the button in front, steam will start to emerge from the spout. If you wanted to put essential oils into your treatment, don’t put that in the water but on one of the included round spout snap-on things. There’s a cushion in the inner part of it to dab your essential oil on. Then snap that onto the unit’s spout. I didn't use that. However, without any added scent, the smell I got from the steam reminded me of the steam from an iron, or the smell in a sauna. Not bad smells, but that’s what it reminded me of. The instructions tell you to keep your face at least 25 centimeters back of the steam, you don't want to get burned, and that's 9.8” in inches. That’s about all this thing does, but if you want to clean the gunk out of your pores, this is a great way to do it without going to get a professional facial.

This steamer is awesome. I have not had a professional facial in about a year and a half. I miss them! This steamer is just as good as the professional ones. It produces a very soft, yet dense uniform steam cloud. I had a make shift steamer that I used on occasion before this one. It was the steamer meant for heating up hair rollers (one at a time). That steam would sputter, spit out tiny droplets that could burn you, and was not nearly as soft and controlled. This steamer is clearly made for facial contact and is very pleasant. I have sensitive skin too.
It does come with 3 wells that snap on top of the mist nozzle, should you desire to add essential oils to the experience. [Do not put oils in the water reservoir.] The wells have a tiny circular sponge surrounding the opening that can absorb a couple drops of essential oils. I bet that would be nice. Since I have sensitive skin, I didn't try it. Sometimes essential oils give me dermatitis, so I didn't want to risk it shooting at my face. I have essential oil diffusers that last for 3 hours to 10 hours. This is not a practical diffuser for just smelling oils or making a room smell nice for a long period. It runs for 10 to 15 minutes tops with a full reservoir. The reservoir holds 1/2 cup at max capacity.
It also calls for distilled water. That is the only down side. I used RO (reverse osmosis) water and it worked well. Just be warned, it doesn't mention this as an option. I do know my water is low on minerals and avoiding hard water is the goal, I'm guessing. I will, out of curiosity, try distilled water to see if it makes a noticeable difference. I doubt it makes a difference though. The size is nice and compact: 8 inches tall, and 5 inches wide. I gave my 11 year old her first facial and she liked the experience too. We finished our steam session with a clay mask which made the facial complete. Opening the pores first is key, and this steamer achieves that.

The unit is beautiful. However, I found myself going to YouTube, in hopes of finding someone who showed how to remove the water tank. The instructions are very lack luster. No description of how to remove the tank. It took a bit of elbow grease but I was finally able to remove the tank and since initial removal it hasn’t been too difficult to remove.
This unit produces are great amount of steam, which is heated extremely fast (roughly 30-45 secs). It fills my entire face and supplies such a relaxing feeling. It lasts about 15 mins or so. I’ve only used it three times, trying to keep this going atleast 3x/wk but I’m hoping to see a vast difference with prolonged use. Since we are going into colder months I’ll use it more often to prevent my skin from drying out.
It comes with 3 essential oil baskets so you can have a spa-like experience while you steam. It’s one of the best features besides the steam itself. I do wish that they supplied a carrying bag for them or made a unit wear you could store the baskets underneath or somewhere hidden.
I do like that the nozzle is adjustable depending on seating position. So I can use it just about anywhere like on our coffee table at night when I like to be as close to the couch as possible. Lol.
After steaming my skin feels so moisturized and accepts my serums, balms, oils and moisturizers so much easier. This is a welcomed addition to my skincare routine.

Had the chance to test out the Vanity Planet - Facial Steamer. What I like about the Vanity Steamer is that it is easy and quick to set up. This little miniature gadget reminds me of a tiny humidifier. Not only does it steam your face by opening up its pores, but it also is great in my opinion for breathing in. As I am a person with allergies/sinuses, it helped. This is in no way medical advice. It simply worked for me. The steamer comes with a compartment that you fill with water. There are two different levels. Min/Max (see image). Be sure to use distilled water per the instructions. Once the water is inside the little tank. You plug the unit into the outlet and it takes about a minute to heat up. The steam then releases. The steamer is relaxing because you are able to breathe in the mist and at the same time let it work on your face. After steaming my face, I applied a light moisturizer.
I liked that this steamer did not irritate my skin. It was relaxing and glad to own this product now. Overall a good product. Would recommend.

The Vanity Planet Facial Steamer creates noticeable results after one use. The water chamber is easy to fill with distilled water and heats almost instantly to produce the steam. The steam output is more adequate than larger units that I have used in the past, but yet the footprint on the bathroom vanity is much smaller, and much more convenient to use and to maintain.
The purpose of a facial steamer is to hydrate and soften the skin as well as prep the skin for any facial treatments in one’s daily or weekly regime. I received this at a point that I needed it more than ever in my life. Chemotherapy had left my entire face rugged, inflamed, and with the skin peeling from all areas of my face. The first time I used the steamer, the results left my face 70 percent clearer. The second time I used the steamer, the results left my face 90 percent clearer. Not only was my skin clear again and free from blemishes, but it also felt new and refreshed.
The Facial Steamer comes with three inserts for essential oils. I am sure that I will use these once I am through the therapies that are causing my skin to dry out and peel. They easily insert into the outlet for the steam and can be filled with a drop of oil. Using this and creating aromatic steam will probably be good for clearing nasal passages during seasonal allergies. I would definitely recommend this. It is a very good product, and I am very happy to have it.

I am using this product as I write this review... I LOVE it!! I recently had my first baby and let me tell you, pregnancy was awful. On top of that... a pandemic! Needless to say I’ve severely neglected my poor skin for the last ten months and it’s definitely been noticeable. Sick of feeling like garbage I decided to reinvigorate my skin care routine by finally purchasing a facial steamer. This product is amazing! It’s elegant and so easy to use. The steam is a very gentle cloud that pushes out far enough that this is comfortable to use and (I imagine, based on MY experience) rather hard to injure yourself by getting too close. Plus... I mean it’s easy to entertain yourself on your phone while using this thing. This is my first baby and it’s only been a month since her birth. I’ve been starting to lose touch with myself and how to relax- this is my new paradise when I need “me” time.

This facial steamer definitely does the job of steaming, but I found it a bit awkward to use regularly. It says you're supposed to use it, then cleanse, exfoliate etc your face, however I normally do all that first. Secondly, finding a comfortable position where the steamer is on my face and I'm not leaning in front of it on my bathroom countertop, is proving to be unlikely. This really doesn't create the relaxing setting that it's supposed to help facilitate. Nonetheless, the moisturizer retained on my face, and the clear difference with my skin speaks for itself. A few PROS:
- You can use the additional clip on to add an essential oil aroma
- It takes barely a minute to warm up and be ready to steam
- A few different tops that can hold essential oils
- Easy maintenance
CONS
- Awkward to use without a special setup
- Auto shuts off at times
It definitely does the job and I feel the moisture on my face more after using it. Not sure if it is worth the cost but definitely but definitely makes a difference.

I absolutely love this steamer! I love using it before or after waking and if I am feeling ill, My only issue is that the reservoir. The rubber seal on the inside is old and worn and doesn’t stay in place. Although, I have had it for two years. The steamer still works but water leaks from the reservoir to the container.

What better way to relax than to get a facial steam? So easy to use and relaxing all at the same time. I have dropped essential oils in the water tank to allow for an even better experience. Your skin feels smooth and hydrated after each session. It makes me feel like I am my own esthetician!

I absolutely love this! So so relaxing after a long day. I will have to try out this with some essential oils but using plain distilled (must use only distilled water) works fine. I was afraid of splashing/sputtering drops of hot water like my old steamer but i haven’t faced this issue so far. Great purchase especial when on sale.

Fantastic facial steamer similar in functionality to what they used in Hand and Stone Spa. It stars producing steam shortly after you fill out the tank with distile water and the water tank holds enough water to "treat" your hold face. The unit is compact hence easy to store, yet it is cute if you want to leave it on your vanity. The materials it's made off look high quality.

Great small facial steamer. This does not take up a lot of space it's easy to use and it works. I have noticed my skin texture changing after only a few uses. My skin gets really dry especially in the winter months and my moisturizer was not penetrating as well as it should. I use every night with my skin care routine.

Love this little steamer. Fast action and compact design. My family and I use it for facial steam and sinus steam. I wish it had some sort of storage for the extra parts and pieces.
