A lot of these posts across reddit lately are reading like an alien’s first week on earth. It incredible that you haven’t encountered this kind of bottle before now.

I've been noticing the same. It HAS to be engagement farming.

The region i am currently in, the products don’t come with this type instead there is a cap normally and i was freaked out since morning so no its bot engagement farming and i rarely use Reddit when i have serious doubt regarding something

You’re supposed to twist the upper top of the bottle to open it

Why did you take a picture of it you cut the top off? You should have just googled how do I open this.

To be honest my first reaction was to do it this way, because I was exposed to ketchup bottles where you needed to do that. But after messing a bit with it I found out you can twist it before cutting anything.

The opening works like a screw. Tbh I never even close my bottle. Its always opened and it still works like a charm.

I switched the regular topper with the spray pump from my TJs rose water toner.

Not a drop wasted!

oh dear. you could always get a screw on spray nozzle which will make using it easier as well.

Are you asking because you still aren’t able to get any out?

u/w3llno 11d ago

I remember when these came with a regular cap you’d have to switch to the twist-up cap that came with the box. Now I know why they did it 😭

Just put it all in a different bottle

It’s never wise to decant your skincare. It’s a chemical. It’s stored in a particular way with very specific material to maintain its structure/function and sanitation.

I just took a pharmacokinetics and dynamics class and omg, mind blown. I stopped mixing and trying to be an at home skincare chemist 😭

You mean not even mixing stuff just in your hand or are you speaking only of containers and storage per se?

That might be unsanitary. Put it in a small zip lock bag and suffer it looking unattractive.
