It had a bit of an oily feel to it.
The price is a bit on the higher side for a drugstore product.

The product had a nice glide and was nicely moisturizing.
My skin troubles also calmed down, it was great.

[에센셜 소스] 스네일 바이탈 스킨

I found that using about 3 layers of the toner works well for me~

The skin absorbs it so quickly that it feels dry soon after...? But I guess it's fine since I apply toner and then cream anyway!

I tried the sample and my skin has really found its glow...! It seems to really balance the moisture and oil well. I also had a few blemishes, but after using this for 3 days, my skin is now absolutely flawless!! I'm going to buy the full-size product...!!

If I had to nitpick a downside, it would be the packaging?
But even the packaging is fine to me.
There's no issue with it gushing out too much product, which is good.

I have dry skin, but this product is really great.
The texture has some viscosity, but it's almost imperceptible and feels refreshing. It maintains a good oil-water balance and penetrates deep into the skin, leaving it moisturized.
I really like the refreshing and easily absorbent feel, so on days when my skin feels tired, I sometimes apply the toner two or three times.
I used to use the Melvita Rose Skin toner, but the Apieu one is much better value for money.
I'm not sure about the lotion, but I'll have to try that next time too.
Out of all the basic skincare products I've repurchased, the Belief Moisturizing Cream is the only one, but now I'll be repurchasing this one as well.

It was fine, just used it comfortably. There was no particular trouble.

I became interested in cleansing oils or mist toners and switched to them, but then I got a ton of breakouts (I think it was seborrheic dermatitis, it was really serious) and came back to this, and the breakouts cleared up..>.<! It seems like it'll be a holy grail product! I especially recommend it to those with combination/dry skin:)

At first, it felt heavy and I thought I couldn't use it in the summer, but I've been using it so well.. So there's nothing I'm disappointed about!

It's so moisturizing. In the winter or spring/fall, I pat it on and absorb it, and in the summer, I wipe it off with cotton and absorb it, and it all seems to work great!

When I tried the eye cream with snail ingredients, it was somewhat decent, so I thought the toner would be fine too. But then I got a lot of red blemishes on my forehead and cheeks
The image quality is not great, but you can still see that I've got some breakouts

I've never used it for anything other than rinsing it off, and I didn't start using any new products alongside it
I only used the toner sample and the aloe soothing gel, and my cleansing foam and oil were the same as before

Maybe because it's a sample, the scent was faint, so there was no aversion to it

There weren't any denatured alcohol or fermented ingredients that could cause side effects, and it only had some 'bis?' PEG ingredients, so I let my guard down

* Sample Review

I had a light-hearted thought that I would try whatever came my way on the weekend, but I didn't expect it to hit me so hard on the back of my head...
I've been hearing lately that my skin has been getting better, with fewer breakouts, but you've brought them back for me. Cheers★

I thought it would be fine since it's meant to be rinsed off

The good thing is that I was able to try it as a sample

It's almost like water, so it's hard to control the amount
I used two cotton pads stacked together after my weekend cleansing, but the result was...

When used together with the set essence, the combination works well.

It was a bit sticky, and using this alone made my skin feel dry. I'm not sure if it's because of my skin texture, but the roughness of my skin was immediately noticeable, which was disappointing..

It was absorbed quickly and in good quantity when applied properly and gently, which was great.

I always stock up and buy a few bottles when it's 40-50% off!

The only downside is that it's a bit pricey when not on sale.
But the product itself doesn't have any other issues.
You shouldn't expect perfect moisturization from just the toner alone.

This is surprisingly a great product, but many people don't seem to know about it.
I've used over 4 bottles of this.
I apply it by soaking a cotton pad and wiping it on, then I scoop some more and pat it in to absorb it.
It's so moisturizing, gentle, and amazing!

For those of us who are younger, I think using this along with a snail skin lotion and a hyaluronic acid moisturizer would be great! It's not heavy and can balance both oil and moisture.

The bottle is a bit heavy, and the lid tends to collect dust. But I was so satisfied using it that I didn't really notice the downsides.

It's really great. I have a dry skin, so I used a lot of moisturizing products in the winter, but it was always dry. Turns out, it wasn't because I lacked moisture, but because I lacked oil. After using this, it got better in just one day. And my skin is really sensitive, so if I use the wrong thing, trouble pops up right away, but this works well for me. It's a life-saver!

 Pump packaging would be even better. It might be a bit drying for those with dry skin, as it's not as rich as some other snail products.

 It was nice that it was light, mild, and not too oily. The price was also affordable, and it would be even more affordable on sale.

For my combination skin, the oil-moisture balance is just right, but those with drier skin may want to use it with another product. Even for me, during seasonal changes, I finished off with a more hydrating cream. You may want to supplement it that way if you have drier skin.

This is a type of skin with a viscous 'snot-like' texture.
It applies smoothly and leaves a moisturized finish.
I've been using the Apieu Essential Source Snail line - the skin, essence, and lotion - and my skin texture has noticeably improved after using them. I used to get blemishes occasionally and my skin wasn't very even, but using this line has made my skin look much better. It seems to suit me really well.
