OMG THANK YOU! You and the paperclip trick just saved me about $100, and my skin. I have been on trentinoin for 6+ months and finally got my first bottle of my goal level and it was broken! I've seen amazing results so far and I didn't want my skin to go backwards in regards to how I had to level up to get used to this level of trentinoin. You're You're godsend doc
Thank you! Gave me the courage to rip apart my paula's choice retinol to get to the holes, and got it pumping. Upside down smacking technique wasn't working.
What a great tip and saved the day!….also found out you can pop the base off to push up the base inside…also found out the actual size is less than half the size of the tube!
Can’t get it to work for the Eau Thermale Avene. Has 2 holes at the bottom, but nothing happens when I press it with a paper clip. Impossible to remove the top. Oh well.
tip from someone who just lost a whole lot of product: dont press on it too hard or too much, my product came shooting out of the pump end, thankfully into the lid so I can save some of it Haha
Depending on what's broken, that could be the case. Another thing to try is tip it upside down and smack it into your palm 5 times. Sometimes this type of force can get the pieces to stay together again. Good luck!
Try holding the bottle upside down and smacking it 5 times into your palm. That's another method we've found that works. But that's only if Plexadem comes in an airless pump. Which I'm not sure of...
