MIZON Snail Repair Intensive Ampoule with Snail Mucin, Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin E – Hydrating & Wrinkle Care Serum for Skin Elasticity & Repair (1.01 fl oz)

For those who can't see which of the products I am using, I have the Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule. I've had dry skin all my life, but it started getting slowly worse in my 20s. Drug store products, natural products, everything I was trying was barely working to maintain my skin so that it didn't get worse. I entered my 30s and fell pregnant and for me, the old wife's tale that "girls steal your beauty" was very true. My skin was so shaken by the pregnancy hormones that I didn't do anything other than jojoba oil and Simple brand cream the whole time. Just thinking about makeup broke my skin out. Since having my daughter a year ago, I've been struggling to repair my skin and work on getting it healthy and more hydrated. I've tried so many products and nothing was working. Even the "fool proof" serum+cream duo the JCPenny girl recommended. I had been reading about the Korean Skincare regimen and decided I would dive into that. It's not cheap to start up, so I am just buying a few products at a time, targeting my needs by level of importance. This was one of my top priorities after the obligatory cleansers & sunscreen. I am LOVING it! Going into this, I had dry skin, so dry in fact that even in a humid summer my normally oily T zone hasn't been oily once. My skin very literally feels like construction paper. It's such a rough texture. It looks dull and lifeless. Add that to the dark circles caused by no sleep from teething and I look like I'm about 45 years old instead of 32. I started using the Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule and right away my skin looked and felt amazing. I saw progress within one use. I've been using this twice a day for a week now and I love the results. My skin already looks quite a bit more hydrated and is slowly starting to feel more hydrated as well. The glow is returning. I tried only using it once a day twice this past week and still saw the results I was looking for. Once I have a more hydrating cream and lotion I think that I can drop to using it once a day with no issues, in the meantime I will keep up with twice a day. This really goes a long way and absorbs into my skin very quickly. It feels a bit tacky until it's sunk in, but it only takes 10-15 seconds to absorb unless my skin is still damp from the toner. It's also making my other products go farther. It leaves a small film on your skin. You don't feel it really, but you can tell it's there. It almost feels like you used a mattifying primer. It seems to allow my emulsion and lotion/cream spread across my skin easier. I'm not needing to use as much product and it feels like it's working better on my skin without weighing it down too much. While I do feel that I am using a bit more of this than I was my expensive Western hydrating serum, this is also a quarter of the price and works significantly better. Even at the rate I am using this, I will still end up spending half of what I would've been with that other serum. I very highly recommend this to anyone who needs some added moisture in their routine, no matter if it needs to be a permanent fixture or a seasonal thing.

At 32 I had stubborn hormonal acne and dry flaky skin (thanks in part to the dry climate in Colorado) I was tired of constantly fighting my skin and embarked on a journey to get the clear youthful skin I deserved. I was pleased to find that the skin of my dreams in a Korean beauty inspired routine. The best part is that nearly all the products I tried were relatively inexpensive and readily available from amazon. My acne is non-existent now and the tone and texture of my skin is so supple and smooth. I have provided a list of my routine below which includes this product. I’m not saying this is the best or only way to achieve my results, I just thought others would be interested in what I used. *indicates review for this product AM- hydrating, lightweight, works under makeup Cleanser - BOOTS Botanics All Bright Gentle Cleansing Cream (purchased from Ulta for a fraction of the price $6.99) First Toner- Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater, 4 oz. – $7.00 - This is like a drink of water for your face. I love this stuff and will spray again randomly throughout the day whenever I need a refresher. The aroma is a little strong for my liking but (almost like perfume) but I’m willing to overlook since the rose and aloe does so much for my skin. I used to use just straight rose water which has a very present smell but I like the spray delivery of this product better. Moisturizing Toner- [Skin Food] Premium Avocado Rich Toner 180ml –$12.98 - I can’t say enough about this. It’s a nice thick toner much more substantial that the western watery toners I was used to. The smell of this is very bright and green (that’s the best way I can think of to explain it) I love the smell! Every now and then I will smell it on my face and it gives me an invigorating boost. This toner works well to moisturize and calm my skin and will certainly be re-purchasing. A little goes a long way with this stuff so that won’t be for quite some time! Treatment- Body Merry Hyaluronic Acid Serum for Anti-aging with Vitamic C and Natural Green Tea, 2 Oz – $13.99 - I use this during the day to keep my skin feeling hydrated and give my skin the boost of anti-oxidants to help combat ageing. This is a lightweight serum (which is why I use it under my makeup) but it does take some time to fully absorb in and dry on my skin. After I put this on I generally go and have breakfast before coming back to finish. The aroma leans more towards green tea which again I find refreshing for the morning. The syrup is a milky and slightly viscous with minimal stickiness. Eye Cream- Loreal Revitalift Eye Cream 0.5 Ounce (14ml) (14ml) – (Purchased from Ulta) Face Cream- [MIZON] Snail Recovery Gel Cream 45ml (1.52 fl.oz.) Pack of 2 – $9.99/ 2-pack - Lightweight moisturizer which works perfectly under makeup. This product doesn’t’ have much of a smell. The consistency is unique halfway between a gel and a cream. Glides on smoothly and provides a decent amount of hydration when combines with my other hydrating products. I don’t like to use occlusive products during the day and this moisturizer fits the bill. PM-all about Snail- Repair, Hydrated, Moisturize Makeup Remover- Boots Botanics All Bright Soothing Eye Make-up Remover 5 oz. – Purchased at Ulta for a fraction of the price - $6.99 Double Cleanse - [Total 2Pcs] The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Oil + Foam SET –$14.21 - The oil cleanser feels light and silky. At night, I massage 1 pump into my skin and works well to dissolve the days make-up. Once I am done breaking down all the makeup, I use water to get some of it off before moving to the foam cleanser. My only complaint is that the fragrance is a little strong and can burn my eyes if I’m not careful. It leaves my skin feeling soft and clean. The foam cleanser works well to clean off the oil left on my face. The foam cleanser aroma is a lot more tolerable to me. It comes out of the tube a shimmery white color and is Very gentle. These two cleansers work well to get my face clean and ready for treatments without that typical tight feeling. They leave my skin soft and moisturized. Exfoliation - Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System Microdermabrasion Treatment 1 Kit - $21.99 - one a week - I used to use philosophy's microderm kit but this one offers the same exact results for 1/2 of the price. This exfoliator leaves my skin feeling baby soft but it does seem a tad harsh so I don't like to use it too frequently. I love the fresh citrus smell of the crystals and the warming foaming action once you put on the activator. Since I only use this once a week it lasts for a VERY long time and is totally worth the price. Toner- [Skin Food] Premium Avocado Rich Toner 180ml –$12.98 I can’t say enough about this. It’s a nice thick toner much more substantial that the western watery toners I was used to. The smell of this is very bright and green (that’s the best way I can think of to explain it) I love the smell! Every now and then I will smell it on my face and it gives me an invigorating boost. This toner works well to moisturize and calm my skin and will certainly be re-purchasing. A little goes a long way with this stuff so that won’t be for quite some time! Essence - [Cosrx] Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence 100ml – $15.85 - I only use this at night because it does leave bit of a film on my face which I find unpleasant under make up. It dries quickly and a single pump gives me enough to cover my whole face and neck. There is no smell to speak of but it does have a slimy snail-y texture ( it is 96% slime!) and can be a bit tacky once its all said and done. I have also used this on some iron burns to help it heal faster and minimize scaring with a lot of success. *Treatment- MIZON Snail Repair Intensive Ampoule - Anti Wrinkle - Multi Function Formula - $11.43 - Anti Wrinkle - Multi Function Formula- Clear viscous liquid. Not nearly as slimy as the essence. No smell, absorbs quickly. I focus heavily on the snail products at night because I read that the copper peptides naturally contained in the snail can alter the effectiveness of the vitamin C and vice versa. Spot Treatment- [MIZON] Acence Blemish Out Pink Spot 30ml – $14.95 - Use only as needed – Works wonders to diminish blemishes overnight. I used this quite frequently when I first started but after a while using all these products I didn’t have any acne to speak of! Sheet Mask - Dermal Korea Collagen Essence Full Face Facial Mask Sheet, 16 Combo Pack – $10.40 - I use once a week. I know that sheet masks are the totally hot thing in Korean beauty but I don’t think they do much for me other than a relaxing home spa experience. I just don’t see that they provide much and probably will not be buying more. Eye Cream- MIZON Korean Cosmetics Snail Repair Eye Cream, 1 Ounce 1 Ounce – $13.98 - Light weight, absorbs quickly. The container is quite generous and a little will go a long way. I think I will have this for a while! It doesn’t have any smell. Face Cream- MIZON Black Snail All In One Cream, 2.40 Ounce –$10.49 - Like all of the Mizon Snail products I have tried this is a very easy introduction into the world of snail skin care. It has minimum smell and lightweight texture. Minimal slime factor, you wouldn’t even know it was snail in a blind comparison. It has a off white color and a lightweight consistency. It doesn’t work wall as an occlusive if that’s what you want you may need to add a different moisturizer at night. Face Oils- I use a mixture of two oils applied at once: Radha Beauty Rosehip Oil 4 oz - 100% Pure Cold Pressed Certified Organic . - $13.95 - and Radha Beauty Moroccan Argan Oil for Hair, Face & Skin 4 oz - USDA Organic 100% Pure Cold pressed Virgin Oil From Morocco - By Radha Beauty –$12.95 - I like to use the oils last because I feel like it really seals everything in and provides moisture to last me through the night. The rosehip oil is very yellow orange so I wouldn’t recommend using during the day abut I do sometimes mix the Argan oil in with my foundation if I want a dewier look.

The absolute best find EVER! My skin feels brighter, tighter, refreshed and so moisturized!

I got this to use with home micro-needling. The smell is pleasant and the consistency is nice and it felt really good going on after; soothing. Whether it works or not for visual appearance I can't really tell.

This Snail Repair Ampoule works great. I use it daily after showering so it can be absorbed easily by my skin and it keeps my skin hydrated all day. I’ve noticed that it has brighten my skin and is helping me with my wrinkles.

The vest serum made ever. So moisturizing and it sinks n disappears in skin. I am not gonna live without it

Lo amo. Lo mejor para mi piel.

I have received this item with the expiry date for next month. How can you sell something that is about to expire? Very disappointing!
