[Review] Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream

Hey guys don't be shock by snail cream, you guys heard it right is snail cream XD
It is a very popular trend in Korea and Asia right now, so I guess I am now following on the trend as well. Did you guys know that Snails (muslin/filtrate) are incredibly good at repairing damaged tissues and regenerating new ones?

This product claims to:
"Mizon Multi Function Formula Snail Recovery Gel Cream is a lightweight gel type cream that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its gel like consistency allows it to penetrate deeper than traditional creams and leaves a light bare feeling. Although light in texture, this cream is highly effective, containing 74% snail slime extract. Snail slime extract promotes the production of collagen, allowing it to plump existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. Use this moisturiser to create a more youthful and radiant complexion today!" 

Product Size: 45mL
Cost: $12 USD for 2 ( I bought this during a promotion on ebay :D)

Direction: After cleansing and using toner, apply an appropriate amount all over and tap lightly to help absorption. 

Ingredients: Snail secretion filtrate, butylene glycol, cyclopentasiloxane, glycerin, Bis-peg-18 methyl ether, dimethyl silane, polysorbate2-, sodium hyaluronate, carbomer, glycosyl trehalose, hydrogenated starch hydolsyate, triethanolamine, dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, dimethicone, hydroxyethylcellulose, caprylyl glyocol, ethylhexylglycerin, sodium polyacrylate, centella asiatica extract, portulaca oleracea extract, camellias sinensis leaf extract, nelumbo nucifera flower extract, betula platylphylla japonica juice, tropolone, copper tripeptide-1, allantoin, panthenol, olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, adenosine, disodium edta - Taken from prettyandcute.com

Packaging of the product is quite adorable since it is in pink, but to be honest I am not quite fond of the color pink but his shade of pastel pink is withstand-able :D. What is really good is that it is in a tube form which means is going to be hygienic when using it!

The consistency of the product is a clear light weighted gel form, it is very easy to spread and absorb, not sticky at all! Great product to use in both summer and winter. The product is odourless since I couldn't smell any scent from it. 

after leaving it to dry for 1-2 minutes

For no apparent reason when using this at night time my face gets a bit oily when I wake up but when using it during day time is perfectly fine?!?!? But who cares about having oily face in the morning keke, whats more important is that it fades away my acne scar and wounds (sorry sometimes I get too tempted and I start picking on my acne) faster so grateful of this product T~T. After using this product my complexion also went better, it was less dull and more radiant now. 

About the wrinkle part about this product I am not so sure about it because I don't have any wrinkles just yet(^v^)v. Almost forgot to mention the key point this product didn't cause me to have any breakout~ hooray!!!

I think this product is good for all skin types.

I will definitely repurchase this product as it is cheap and effective :D, a pretty affordable price for a high school student!

Updated:
Ok after using this product for weeks and weeks I realise its not as effective when I first started using it. Like I just didn't see any changes on my face at all. T^T I moved back to my old favourite PXE Anti- Acne Trace-free repairing serum (which I will do a review for it in the future)
So I will definitely not repurchase this product just because it is cheap!

My rating for it effectiveness is:
Effectiveness: 1.5/5

[Review]Mizon Acene Blemish Soothing Gel Cream

Ingredients:

This is another Korean cosmetic product that I have purchase but I did not purchase this when I was in Korea since I have never heard about this brand before my Korea trip.
My moisturise kinda ran out so I decided to do some research on what I should get, and I came across to this product. The product sounded really great for me, however there was no detailed ingredient list available [because if I did see the ingredient list I might not have purchase this product since there is alcohol in it, from what I have heard alcohol tends to dehydrate your skin T^T, so  I guess to a certain extent it is bad for my skin, since oily skin is caused by not having enough moisture in your skin (I might be wrong about this, since I am not an expert about cosmetic ingredients, I am just a regular teenager!)]. Well now I am going to post a picture of the ingredient list below.


The packaging was simple and hygienic since everything was all nicely sealed in the box and when I opened the lid it was the product was sealed by a piece of plastic as well. The only downfall of why this product is not hygienic is because they did not provide me with a mini spatula so I have to dab my fingers into the product which is kinda unsanitary T^T.

Haha :D I just scoop out a large blob

The texture of the cream is like typical gel cream but maybe a bit more watery than the Etude Aloe Moistfull Soothing Gel. The cream is really light weighted and easy to apply onto the skin and it absorbs pretty fast into the skin!

after blending it out

after leaving it for 1-2 minutes

The scent was alright it smelled like some kinda of herb or similar to the face shop's babyface hyaluronic acid sleeping pack but once applied on the face the herb somehow smelled like plastic, I don't know is it plastic or artificial? Or maybe is just the fact that I am not really used to the herb smell because it kinda have this lemon like scent mix with alcohol.

After a month of using it my acne or the redness of my face did calm down so this is a fact that I really like about this product and also I haven't been breaking out a lot.
Temporarily this product did not really dry out my face but I don't know if it will in the future (since there is alcohol in there).

But I will highly recommend you guys not to apply this under make up because there is a protective film layer and it makes make up doesn't go on very well on your skin T^T.
Will I repurchase this product, to be honest I don't know because there is good and bad side to this product maybe during summer season I will repurchase this product because I am really worry that alcohol will dehydrate my skin, even though this problem have not yet arise yet. If you guys need something to calm the redness or control the acne on your face I will highly recommend this product, because this product does work!

Almost forgot to write the cost, it cost around $11.50 on ebay when I purchased it!
