Review on MIZON Black Snail All In One Cream, Premium, Snail Repair Cream, Intensive Care, Korean Skin Care, Facial Moisturizing, Snail Mucin Extract, Wrinkle Care, Firming (75Ml / 2.54 Fl Oz) by Robert Morrison

I opened up to trying this product after reading that there is some scientific evidence behind the use of snails in skin treatment. This is a very inexpensive cream for how well it performs, but it is light, almost like a gel. I was nervous because of the price that perhaps this would be an adulterated product since the same cream is sold for a great deal more elsewhere. Mine arrived sealed. It is in the newer bottle, but it seems like the same stuff. I can' t read Korean writing so I can't tell if the label looks off, but the english text looks right. I like this quite a lot. I've been very cautious about creams especially if they contain the words "brightening" as some products have been found to contain mercury. I have a freckle on my cheek and it is still there after using this though, and I think if this product contained something like that it would fade. Also the smell seems right, just a little odd, but not in a harsh metallic way, just the way I think snail smells in creams, which is fine. I like that this product is not too heavily perfumed also. It's very light and almost translucent when rubbing into the skin. It takes a few minutes of sitting to dry into the skin, but it has a very nice effect.It isn't terribly moisturizing and in the first day or so it seemed to cause a breakout. However, after about a week my skin stopped breaking out from it and I think perhaps, since it was places I usually break out anyway, it's possible that I had underlying blemishes there already. After a few days though of using this morning and night, my skin really does seem a tiny bit brighter and smoother. It still gets a little dry, I had hoped to use this more as a night cream but I think it is not so moisturizing. It takes a bit to fully dry on the skin, so I apply it right after washing at night and in the morning then let it set some time before I put on anything else for the day. I feel like it might not be good to put on makeup right after. If you have very dry skin, as I do in places, you'll still need a deeper moisturizer though overall I feel like this product really does tone and soften the skin. For the price it's unbeatable. I use it on my neck and hands too.
