Light texture Unlike typical snail creams, this one is pleasantly lightweight. It doesn't create those stringy, stretchy bits and has more of a light balm-like consistency. 2. Fragrance I expected the bergamot scent to be familiar, but it surprised me. It's refreshing to find a snail cream with such a crisp fragrance, as opposed to the usual mature scent of many skincare products. I prefer this gentle, skin-friendly aroma over artificially unscented products that often require additional ingredients to mask smells. 3. User experience I'm satisfied with its hydrating power, which provides ample moisture.
Cons1. Absorption It doesn't absorb immediately after application, likely due to its high content of large molecular ingredients. The skin feels sticky right after application, causing hair to stick to it. It seems to take about an hour for complete absorption, which makes it inconvenient to use before makeup. 2. Packaging design While the container looks nice, it's a matte glass jar that easily shows fingerprints. The lid is large and tall, making the actual product container appear quite flat in comparison, which isn't very user-friendly. There's no spatula included, so you have to use your fingers, which isn't very hygienic. However, if you have a spare spatula at home, that should work fine. 3. Effectiveness After using it for a week, I didn't notice any significant improvements in wrinkles, brightening, firmness, deep dryness, or skin density, which was disappointing.

Leaves skin feeling moisturized. As a collagen-based product, it gives a firming sensation Expectations: Given the gentle ingredients and claims for anti-wrinkle and brightening effects, I'm hoping to see results by the time I finish the entire jar Scent: Citrus fragrance / May be polarizing / Personally, I prefer unscented products as I like gentler options
ConsThe stickiness might feel a bit uncomfortable when applied during summer. It would probably be more suitable for winter use. It was inconvenient without a spatula included. A tube packaging might have been more practical.
TipFor a glowing finish, apply in this order: toner > cream > serum

Texture: I initially expected snail cream to be very thick and nourishing, but I was surprised when I opened and applied it! It's not too heavy and provides hydration without feeling greasy. My mom also loves how moisturizing it is. Scent: The fragrance is fresh and not overpowering. Effects: While I didn't notice any dramatic improvements in pore tightening or blemish control, my skin stayed hydrated throughout the night. When I woke up in the morning, my skin wasn't dry or excessively oily.
ConsIt leaves a slightly sticky feeling after application. Other than that, it was generally good!
TipAs someone with combination dehydrated skin, I only applied it in the evening! Those with dry skin might be able to use it anytime without issues.

There's also a slight hint of insect repellent, oddly enough. Compared to the snail cream from PX, this one doesn't have that slimy texture. It's free from that peculiar sensation typical of snail creams, which I appreciate - it feels more like a regular cream. As for blemishes, I can't say if it's due to this product, but I'm going through a skin purging phase, so I'm getting some small bumps. It's hard to tell! On the bright side, I didn't experience any dryness. However, it might feel a bit heavy for summer use. I think it would be perfect for fall or winter.
ConsThe stickiness is a bit of a letdown - my hair keeps getting stuck to my face, which is annoying. It's particularly inconvenient when I'm trying to dry my hair after applying the cream. I haven't used it extensively yet, but the square-shaped container makes it tricky to use up the product cleanly. It's also a bit awkward to scoop out with your fingers. For jar-type creams like this, it would be great if they included a spatula. After all, there's always a risk of contamination. I've been using my own spatula, but it would be nice if one came with the product.
TipTo combat the issue of hair sticking due to the stickiness, I've found a solution! Try placing a sheet of blotting paper on top, like you would with a cream mask. It prevents your hair from sticking and works wonders!

When skincare doesn't suit me, my cheeks turn red and I get breakouts. However, after using the Faux Snail Cream for a week, I didn't experience any blemishes! I'm always meticulous about checking ingredients when buying cosmetics, and this one had pretty good ingredients. Texture: - It has a slightly runny yet bouncy texture. It applies smoothly and feels elastic on the skin. Scent: - When applying, there's a fresh, tangy scent. I was curious about it and found out from the product details that it's bergamot. The fragrance isn't irritating, making it comfortable to apply. Lasting power: - Even after a few hours, the moisturizing effect seems to be well-maintained. When I apply it at night and wake up in the morning, my skin feels hydrated and firm. Perhaps due to the snail mucin filtrate, it provides excellent hydration, leaving my skin glowing and the surface looking smooth. ♧ After using it for about a week, the great hydration has reduced dryness on my cheeks, and fine lines around my eyes and dead skin cells are less noticeable than before. My skin also feels a bit more plump.
ConsDue to its bouncy texture, it absorbs slowly... and there's a slight stickiness. However, the pros outweigh the cons, so I'll likely continue using it.
TipOn busy mornings, I found that applying a bit less than I do at night helps it absorb somewhat faster.

The packaging is so pretty, I gasped when I opened it! The scent is light and refreshing, not off-putting at all. When applied before bed, it feels like it locks in hydration until morning.
ConsThis product would be 5-star worthy in winter, but it feels a bit heavy for humid, hot weather. Keep in mind that the texture is slightly sticky, which might not be ideal for everyone.
TipMakeup applies smoothly over this, but make sure to pat it in thoroughly for the best results.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI'm writing this review after using the product for over a week! Packaging: I thought the accent on the cream's lid was pretty! Texture: Feels like a soothing gel + cream combo. Application: Good, doesn't feel heavy and is surprisingly refreshing. Once fully absorbed, it leaves a thin film on the skin. Personally, I liked that it didn't feel dry or heavy. Scent: Lemon balm...? It has a slight lemon-cleaner scent mixed with the smell of grass after rain or mowing. The scent is quite strong when first applied, making you go 'ugh', but it quickly dissipates and becomes more tolerable. Skin reaction: (I've had sensitive skin since COVID. I immediately get redness or blemishes when using incompatible creams or foam cleansers.) However, I didn't feel my skin becoming particularly sensitive after using this.
ConsI think quite a few people might be put off by the scent when applying. Also, I'm not sure if it's just mine, but usually when you buy a cream, they often include a spatula, but this product didn't have one! It's fine now while there's plenty of cream, but I think it might be inconvenient when I'm close to finishing it. Additionally, some might find the finishing texture a bit sticky.

Having used snail creams before, I'll share my comparative thoughts. The packaging alone was unique, weighty, and luxurious, which instilled trust right away. 1. Hydration: No major issues. Initially, I applied less, fearing it might be heavy, which led to slight tightness. However, with ample application, there was no tightness at all. I recommend applying generously! 2. Texture: Unlike previous snail creams that were quite sticky, this one has a more hydrating moisturizer-like consistency with less tackiness. While not completely non-sticky, I comfortably used it day and night. 3. Scent: The fragrance is noticeable. At first, I wondered about the scent, but it reminded me of a natural aroma I enjoy, so I didn't mind it. Apparently, it's bergamot - while it might not be everyone's cup of tea, I personally love it. 4. Effectiveness: I noticed my skin feeling more supple upon waking. It's as if you can feel the nourishment being delivered to your skin! I'll definitely continue using this product.
Cons1. Absorption: While the post-application stickiness was less than expected, which was nice, it didn't seem to absorb fully, leaving a residual feeling on the face. I'm not sure if this is characteristic of snail creams, but there's a slight 'scratchable' texture. However, it didn't pill or flake when I applied brightening moisturizer or sunscreen over it, so I still used it during the day. 2. Scent: While I personally enjoyed it, the fragrance is strong and might not suit everyone's preferences.

It has a gel-like consistency that's not overly oily, but wonderfully thick and nourishing. 💖 Absorption: Unlike many anti-aging products that can feel greasy and sit on top of the skin, this one absorbs relatively quickly! It sinks in without feeling like it's just sitting on the surface. 💖 Scent: It has a lovely citrus fragrance! Reminds me of lemons. It's refreshing to apply. 💖 Blemishes: As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I often get oily breakouts when I apply too much cream. However, this product didn't cause any blemishes! 💖 Moisture: This has the perfect level of richness for those with very dry or dry skin! It feels incredibly hydrating rather than just oily. 💖 Firmness: My skin felt more supple, and I noticed my skin barrier seemed plumper and bouncier. In the morning, my complexion looked wonderfully firm and elastic.
Cons😕 Richness: While it worked well on my cheeks, I noticed my T-zone got a bit oily. However, I was pleased it didn't cause any blemishes. 😕 Stickiness: Some people might find it a bit sticky. If you don't like feeling like you have product on your skin, this might not be for you. 😕 Fragrance: While I enjoy the citrus scent, those who are sensitive to fragrances might find it uncomfortable. 😕 Soothing properties: If you're looking for a product primarily to calm troubled skin or if you're a fan of cica ingredients, this might not be the best choice for reducing blemishes. 😕 Packaging: There's no spatula included, so you have to use your fingers to apply it. This might not be the most hygienic option.
TipI highly recommend this for those with very dry or dry skin! It's perfect for seasonal changes or winter use. After using it, I definitely felt my facial skin become more supple and firm! I recommend using it consistently for best results. For those with combination dehydrated or oily skin, I suggest applying only a small amount! You'll notice your skin looking plump and bouncy all day long the next day!
