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 Jason Winkfield

This is my 4th time trying this moisturizer hoping to like it and 4ths times a charmsurprisingly. The first 3 times I tried it, I noticed the immediate displeasing qualities (I’ll get to that soon) and gave up. But I kept coming back hoping things would be different because that ingredient list is so DANG BEEFY. Snail mucin, niacinamide, adenosine, centella asiatica, a BUNCH of peptides, and more. On paper it seems like I would be a fool not to use this moisturizer. But upon initial use (first 1-2 weeks), there are 2 major flaws that kept me giving up.1. It’s not moisturizing. At all. In fact it makes my skin feel tighter and dries to a waxy matte.2. It stings at first. Not unbearable and it goes away, but typically any stinging at all is a bad sign to me.So. why did I give this moisturizer 4 stars and now use it daily without any intention to stop?Because after 1-2 weeks. my skin texture became SO SMOOTH. My skin tends to be rough and tight, on the dry side. Now, my skin is SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTHH and "normal” in terms of moisture/hydration.And! It no longer stings at all upon application.However, I do wish it was more moisturizing. Yes I could layer another on top but my skin really doesn’t do well with using more than one leave on product at a time. But for the affects it’s given me, I don’t care.I think the "tightening” (or some may say firming?) quality is from the synthetic wax. or something. It’s not actually DRYING fyi. But if you’re already prone to tightness it can be an unwanted sensation.For me it’s gone away everywhere except the eyes- I still feel a *little* tight there when I apply this.Anyways hope this helpsTLDR; It has great ingredients that work but it’s not moisturizing at all (but not actively drying either) and may sting a little at first. If you are set on trying this I would give it 2 weeks to judge it completely.
