Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream Review


This product is one of the most affordable ways to introduce snail mucin into your skincare regimen. 

"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 moisturizer to create a more youthful and radiant complexion today!"
Size: 45 mL

Price: ~$5

Scent: Virtually scentless. 

Texture: More of a gel than a cream. Absorbs quickly. 

Snail secretion filtrate, butylene glycol, cyclopentasiloxane, glycerin, bis-peg-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane, polysorbate 20, sodium hyaluronate, carbomer, glycosyl trehalose, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate, triethanolamine, dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone cross polymer, dimethicone, hydroxyetylcellulose, caprylyl glycol, ethylhexylglycerin, sodium polysacrylate, centella asiatica extract, portulaca oleracea extract, camelia sinestis leaf extract, nelumbo nucifera flower extract, betula platyphylla japonica juice, tropolone, copper tripeptide-1, allantoin, panthenol, olea europea (olive) fruit oil, helianthus annuus (sunflower) see oil, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, adenosine, disodium edta 
As a lightweight moisturizer during the day. 
I, unlike many, an not blown away by this product. It is alright, but honestly, I don't find myself reaching to use it. It doesn't really fit into my night time routine, which already incorporates two different snail products, and i don't find I need that much moisture in the daytime. It is cheap and it doesn't cause me to break out, but I haven't noticed it rapidly improving my skin in the way that snail essence does. I think I will try using it in the mornings as a makeup base, as it is rather matte. For now, I am not going out of my way to replace it.
I bought this from RoseRoseShop (free shipping).
