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.

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.

I bought this before I bought the product in the jar. This product is more like a serum. There is no smell. It is not sticky. It goes on easily and does not leave your face sticky or oily. It is recommended that your face be wet before you apply so I usually spray my face with a rosewater and then apply. Apparently, the serum is absorbed better. I use this in conjunction with the Snail Mucin 92 and sandwich my tretinoin in between. I have seen amazing results. My face is so soft and I have an notable reduction in fine lines. This product is completely worth it. My daughter uses this too and she has sensitive skin and has had no issues. Just buy it!!!!

I'm gonna go ahead and buy their other products. I purchased this on a whim after all the rave reviews like everybody else. I've noticed my pores are non existent, and my skin has tightened more, and is more smooth and supple. I understand we all have different results and our skin is different, but when I tell you this is literally botox in serum form, my face is less textured, and have received compliments that I'm looking more youthful. And for such a great price and 15% less than what ulta charges you. I'm gonna start stocking up on this stuff. This is a total game changer in my skin care routine. As a male that actually cares about my skin/face; I've cut out 3 extra steps from my routine now and has been much simpler since I've been using this serum.

When I heard the hype around this product I was prepared to take it with a grain of salt. I have tried other products that have gone viral and ended up disappointed with the lack of result. This product did not disappoint! I have sensitive and often dry skin. I can really feel this product absorbing into my skin. It has never felt so moisturized and soft! I also love how it made my face look more radiant. When I first tried it I had this ugly pimple scar on my nose that would not go away. I tried so many products hoping it would fade yet nothing was working. I started using this product not even looking for it to do anything with my scar, but it went away so quickly! This was a win-win for me. Believe the hype, this product is a must buy.

My skin absolutely loves it. I am 48, female, white with very sensitive acne prone dry skin. I also have full body lymphedema so my skin takes a beating and needs a lot of moisture. I knew that snail mucin was used in wound care for chemo and burns so that was the nudge I needed to try the All in One Cream first. My skin responded well to that but it was moisturizing enough and more of a top coat to lock in other products. Which I also love, but not the layer I was looking for. But this one is lovely.

I put it on am and pm right after I cleanse and my face is damp, (not wet and dripping) my face soaks it in so fast and it's like a drink of water. Two pumps for my face and I let it dry for 5 min before going in with my next products. It's so silky and just soaks in and leaves my skin dewy and primed to soak up the next product. I absolutely love it.

Bonus - after the shower and still damp, put this on all over your body BEFORE your moisturizer and it will enhance the moisture and actives in your lotion/moisturizer to pernitrate deeper. LOVE IT.
