[MIZON] SNAIL REPAIR INTENSIVE ESSENCE (100ml) Korean Skincare - Hydrating Face Essence - Snail Secretion Extract - Anti-Aging & Wrinkle Care - Skin Radiance and Elasticity - Brightening

I use Korean skincare, but have always been slightly skeptical about the inescapable and ubiquitous 'glass skin' claims. I have also used products containing snail mucin in the past, but wasn't convinced. I stand corrected! Instead of 'glass skin', a more accurate description might be 'polished' skin. Within a few applications, I noticed a finer grain to my skin, zero breakouts and reduced redness. Foundation applies better and I have no dry patches or flaky skin whatsoever. I have been using this essence for a few weeks now, and I can honestly say that there is a visible and tangible improvement in my skin.

Love Mizon snail products . Slides on the face well and is brilliant as a base for a facial massage although does absorb pretty quickly. I was impressed too at the size of this bottle and the dispenser of it . Good value and a product I will continue to use.

I have been using this product for some time . I highly recommend it.

I’ve been interested in trying Korean skincare for a while so I gave this a go. I had hoped that the packaging would reveal the ingredients, but most information is in Korean and the product listing doesn’t give this info in English, so I had to do some research. I found that this product, and other products from Mizon are sold on other UK beauty websites so that gave me some faith in the brand. It’s also where I found the ingredient list, directions on how to use the product and an idea of how to layer it. Directions are: “After cleansing and toning, apply a thin, even layer to face and neck and gently pat into skin until absorbed.” So apply this after any treatment products (acids etc) but before your moisturiser. Ingredients are: “Water, Methylpropanediol, Snail Secretion Filtrate, Glycerin, Glycereth26, Carbomer, Tromethamine, Trehalose, Fructooligosaccharides, Saccharide Hydrolysate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Polyacrylate, 1,2-hexanediol, Pullulan, Propanediol, Disodium Edta, Centella Asiatica Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Phenoxyethanol“ This shows that the Snail Secretion Filtrate is at a high percentage, and also a high percentage of Glycerin (a hydrator). Hyaluronic Acid is very low on the list meaning it’s only there in a small amount. Do note that even though this product claims to be Anti-Wrinkle, this is due to the hydrating ingredients temporarily plumping your skin, rather than increasing cell turnover like Retinol/Retinoids. Overall this is a nice product to use. It skins into the skin nicely over the course of around 5 mins. I haven’t had any issues or irritation using it so will continue to use up the bottle!

If you're like me the thought of putting snail goop all over your face probably isn't too appealing, and for this very reason I cautiously requested this product and then spent the first few days after it arrived researching snail excrement and why it is good for your skin. Once I found out the snail extract was from sea snails and not your garden variety, I was a lot more open to trying it. I have now been using the product for 2 weeks. I use it daily before bed- and, on a Thursday it goes on after having used a derma roller on my face. The serum is indeed very slimy when you put it on and it takes a while to soak into your face but I really believe it's worth it. My skin is soft, clear and I seem to have gained a more youthful and fresh look. Even my fiance commented positively- which must mean it's good. You may think £20 is a lot to spend on a serum, but this is a huge bottle. For 2 weeks worth of use you can barely even see i've used it in the bottle. I would estimate if used daily there is still a good 2-3 months worth of product in there! The serum doesn't really have a smell so it's not off putting at all- it comes out clear and sort of like the consistency of hand gel. Not quite a gel but not quite a liquid. All in all i'm really impressed with this product- so don't let the snails put you off! Highly recommended!

This is a big volume moisture treatment. 100ml can last long time as face cream. It is facial essence I just use it after the serum like normal face cream. No scent and no running. A bit slimy since it is claimed as snail slime but I am ok with it. The brand Mizon seems have reputation in Korea. I have used it for one month and feel it good for moisturizing. The price is not bad for such a big bottle.

I expected this stuff to be thicker with high viscosity, but it was maybe as thick as a typical shower gel. I tied this over the course of a week having moved past the main ingredient, I found it was easy to apply and didn't take too long to be absorbed. I haven't noticed any change to my skin, but then we have had some really hot weather and I am showering twice daily to keep cool and fresh. I've been applying this after each shower while my pores are open and have only noticed that my face shines for a few minutes while it's being absorbed.

[Mizon] Snail Repair Intensive Essence (100ml) Who wouldn't love this [Mizon] Snail Repair Intensive Essence (100ml)? I mean seriously, I am convinced to switch brands to Mizon. I have a combi-type of skin, so I'm so conscious of the skincare products I apply to my face. Looking at the ingredients of this [Mizon] Snail Repair Intensive Essence (100ml), I like that it has an active ingredient Adenosine - cell communication ingredient. Plus, it has Snail Secretion Filtrate for anti-aging, and Centella Asiatica Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Hyaluronic Acid for wound-healing. It ticks my checklist of: Paraben-Free Sulfate-Free Silicone-Free EU Allergen-Free and has Minimal Ingredients. It comes in a pump-tinted glass bottle. It fragrance-free. It is kinda thick and does not quickly absorb in the skin, but give it 2 to 3 minutes to penetrate the skin. It is ideal for all skin types, no matter you're acne-prone or have super dry skin. Overall, it is too early to say that it is effective, but since it has mild ingredients and no adverse reaction on my skin. Also, it makes me feel better as my skin more supple, especially when I wake up in the morning. It could be helpful if it tells the buyer how to layer it, and give some advice as to what to mix.

Sehr empfehlenswertes Produkt für meine trockene, feuchtigkeitsarme Haut.

Top hydratation

The formula is very hydrating

Love this, it works really great, highly recommended! My original review was informative, positive and concise without going against Amazon's guidelines, but apparently they believe otherwise, so I'm "editing" my review.

Consegna Ok Parto col dire che MIZON è una garanzia tutti i suoi prodotti sono ottimi , confezionato con cura, il packaging elegante con sigillo esterno ed interno e tutto a buon prezzo. L' essenza ha una consistenza corposa e gelatinosa e prepara la pelle ai trattamenti successivi. È la prima volta che la prendo e mi è piaciuto subito l' effetto che dà. Detto questo però.. devo fare una premessa: La Bava di Lumaca è un ingrediente particolare molto buono, ma non viene tollerato da tutte le pelli e purtroppo me ne sono accorta troppo tardi a mie spese. Mi sono informata.. La bava di lumaca è un ingrediente molto versatile e generalmente sicuro, noto per le sue proprietà lenitive e rigeneranti ricco di acido glicolico e allantoina. Però è fondamentale sapere alcune precisazioni: 1- Test cutaneo: È sempre consigliato fare un patch test (sul polso o dietro l'orecchio) per 24-48 ore prima di introdurre il prodotto nella propria routine. 2- È consigliato di utilizzare la sera una volta al giorno 3- Se si fa uno scrub anche leggero, meglio interrompere per un giorno utilizzando prodotti più idratanti, perché la BdiL contiene piccole quantità di acido glicolico naturale, l'uso combinato può essere irritante. 4- NON MISCHIARE MAI con: * Acidi Esfolianti ad Alta Concentrazione (AHA/BHA) * Vitamina C Pura (Acido Ascorbico) * Retinoidi/Retinolo (soprattutto in pelli sensibili) La bava di lumaca si sposa invece molto bene con ingredienti idratanti come l'acido ialuronico, le ceramidi e la vitamina E, ottimi per lenire e idratare la pelle. Conclusione: Ottimo prodotto, ma da usare con cautela AGGIORNO dopo 4 mesi di utilizzo posso dire che mi piace davvero molto, la mia pelle ha preso confidenza con questa essenza , rimane idratata e pulita, non è più lucida... adesso credo di alternarla a qualcosa di più idratante...la mattina uso Essence First che rimane più liquida . Ottimo merita *****
