Review: It makes me cry - this has lasted me a long time, I use it pretty sparingly though. I feel like other people can smell it on me when i use it so it isn't particularly useful when you're trying to gaslight someone- especially when they know you have it. but for things like video podcasts or movies, other channels of communication where scent is not a factor, this would work great. sometimes i keep it open in my pocket so i can just dip my finger tips in and rub them under my eyes slyly and it works within a few minutes.
Review: Very discreet size, works well - Bought this because I was having a hard time crying on camera for a recent audition. It’s very strong and easy to use. Looks just like a tube of lipstick and is a great value for the money. It does what it’s supposed to do and is a good size to just slide into my bag.

## Features

- NATURAL TEARS ON CUE: Our menthol-infused tear stick formula activates with your skin's temperature, releasing vapors that cause real, natural tears to form within minutes. Unlike liquid tears that look fake on camera, this cry stick produces genuine watery eyes that are perfect for emotional scenes in film, theatre, TV, and video content.
- EASY APPLICATION WITH PRO TIPS: Apply about half an inch below the eye (at the top of the under-eye area, not on the eyelid) for best results. Remove contact lenses before use. For a stronger effect, apply multiple layers. Most users see results within 2-5 minutes as the menthol activates with body heat.
- GENTLE FORMULA, NO CAMPHOR: Unlike other tear sticks that contain harsh camphor, our formula uses natural menthol with coconut oil-derived moisturizers and shea butter for a smooth, comfortable application. Safe for sensitive skin around the delicate eye area.
- PORTABLE & DISCREET: Comes in a sleek, compact lipstick-style container that fits in your pocket, purse, or makeup kit. The durable twist-up design protects the product and makes it easy to apply between takes on set or backstage.
- PROFESSIONAL GRADE, ETHICALLY MADE: Trusted by makeup artists in film, TV, and theater productions. Made in the USA in a cruelty-free, vegetarian-approved facility. One stick provides dozens of applications for long-lasting value.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how long does it last?**
A: The Tear Stick effect will last about 5-10 minutes, enough to cause tears to form and to keep them flowing. After 10 minutes, the menthol vapors will have mostly dissipated, so you will need to reapply the Tear Stick.

**Q: How long does it last? As in expiration date. 1 year? 10 years, ...?**
A: It last aprox 1-3 theater seasons or one years worth of horror movie acting. Expiration date Varies but usually needs replacement a year after being bought.

**Q: Is anyone else able to smell the menthol when its applied?**
A: Yes, you can definitely smell it right after it’s applied (not as strong as Vicks though) Eventually the smell wears off slowly.

**Q: How fast does this work?**
A: The hotter the environment or your skin, it works immediately. If you are outside during cold months or in a well air conditioned space, it needs about 2-5 minutes for the peppermint vapors to begin floating in front of your eyes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful
*by X***W on July 31, 2025*

Works okay . .. not as effective as I hoped. One can feel the effect right away, but it takes more time to actually tear.
