Mizon Al in One Snail Repair Cream Review

Mizon all in one snail repair cream

Cost can range $8-30 USD

They have from 1fl to 4fl bottles

Mizon is a well-known company. Not as popular as Tony Moly or Etude house, but they really made themselves popular on the Snail trend. In fact the most recommended cream is the Mizon All in One Repair Cream. It has slowly began to populate American retail stores. For example you can now purchase them locally from Urban Outfitters.  What makes mizon different from all the other snail creams (which there are many), is all of the benefits.

But before we get into that, let’s look at what they claim.

1.       92% snail secretion filtrate, (that is the slime snails leave behind but it’s filtered from anything that could be bad for the skin). This aims to recover sun damage skin.

2.       Wrinkle care and prevention, by using Adenosine found in many anti-aging products including Neutrogena night sleeping mask.

3.       Helps fade red and dark spots. This aims to even out skin tone.

4.       Tighten pores. By preventing and abundance of sedum (which is oils). Using Green tea extract.

5.       Provide nutrients and hydration. This contain hyaluronic acid to retain moisture and other products.

6.       Protect skin from other stimulus. Using Hydrated vegetable oil by soothing sensitive skin

7.       Making skin more elastic. They aim to bring back a bounce to the skin and improving skin softness.

To recap it’s supposed to be this all in one miracle for all skin types from oily to dry and sensitive. That will even out skin tone, hydrate and return skin to a healthier state.

My experience

I really enjoy using this cream. It’s not thick or oily it’s a real gel consistency that absorbs into the skin quickly. That said I also felt like it did reduce oil production so before I applied this I used a light facial oil to retain moisture. It does help calm down irritated spots, I would know, I’ve had a couple of those. Its an overall great cream but not a miracle product for the best results use every day twice a day after washing, toning and applying your serum. If you feel like this is not enough moisture use another moisturizer on top. I do recommend this.

What is an Essence? Secret Key Snail Repairing Essence

Secret key has slowly become my most trusted skincare brand. This was the item that started everything. When I first started researching Korean skincare something odd to me that came up was essences. I had no idea what this was, or why so many people are obsessed with them? So I started researching what this was and why so many people swear by it.

Essence is another version of a serum, which can be thicker. The essence should seal the serum and give it a little boost, by active ingredients to help the skin provide cellular turnover. It's much like a serum after a serum, to help the skin absorb the ingredients and boost effectiveness.  That's what I understood from all of my research.  I bought this in January and have been using this everyday twice a day ever since.

I decided to venture out of Tony moly and try another well-known brand. Secret Key, and they are super common and recommended. I opted to use there snail essence, since it seemed very interesting and I've never tried anything like that.

Secret Key New Snail Repairing Essence 60ml or 2 fluid ounces cost $6-8 USD

The claims were

1. Brightening repairing essence.

 2. It can be applied on sensitive skin.

 3. While it increases skin elasticity, it brightens skin tone.

 4. Moisturizing and skin protection.

 5. Soothing & Brightening effect.

How to use

Apply appropriate amount and smooth over it. Apply more amount when using after evening facial wash. It is more effective dab 1-2 times more.

I was nervous that it would break me out, but it had a decent list of ingredients like; rice bran extract, pig placenta (for cellular turnover), and macadamia seed oil. To my surprise it didn’t break me out, but it did soften my skin and helped lower the little bumps I had on my cheeks. I know the directions said to use this straight after washing and toning but I like to add a serum for extra hydration, or a facial oil but that’s a personal choice. If you have oiler skin, just using the essence might be exactly what you need. It doesn’t make you oiler, or even feel greasy. Though you must warm the essence before applying it. If you have dry skin a light hydrating serum before or after can help.

Overall I love the fact that it has a pump, I love is gel like texture. I also enjoy the refreshed feeling on the skin. And over 5 months you can definitely notice more hydrated, plump looking skin. Also a brightness the complexion evening thing out. At first I wasn’t sure about the texture but after a while I grew accustom to it. And I am so glad I did. This has made me venture out and try more products from their Snail line.

 

My Beauty Diary Black Pearl mask

We all know that my baby diary is very affordable sheet mask mind but one of my favorite ones is the Black Pearl mask its a whitening and nourishing mask.
What the company says:
complex essence is extracted from shimmering black pearls which contain beautification ingredient, Revitalizes and hydrates, For normal skin, recommended for lackluster and dull skin.
this comes in a very beautiful black packet, what the sheet mask under a sheet protectant. it is super liquidy.  One problem I do by with the mask is at the I holes are quite small oh my almond eyes so I do cut them at the end of a tiny bit so my eyes fit perfectly. And it does have a little excessive on the forehead and I do have a smaller car than most people I don't pay attention to it.
What I notice is it does for me this is a very calming mask and really leaving skin feeling refreshed. I also notice it does help me with my acne even though it's supposed to be doing that. all that moisture helps draw out the impurities in my pores. Please like my skin cool and calm and takes away the redness. It also reduces the appearance of tired swollen eyes. don't know if it helps whiten but it does brighten the skin very nicely and it tingles a tiny bit.
A great trick I learned to get your skin looking beautiful and radiant is using a sheet mask the night before. So 17 minutes before going to sleep use a sheet mask rub some of the liquid down your neck and once 15 minutes pass apply a sleeping pack to seal in all those benefits for the next day.
This is super affordable can you can get a pack of 10 for $13 essentially making each one $1.30.

Sheet Mask collection

Ok, I'll start with the fact that I love skincare. I find it super important to take care of your skin, to prevent the little things that turn bad over time. Such as fine lines, sun spots and more.  Sheet mask are becoming more popular in America now although they have always existed. I have had the pleasure of trying many sheet masks from america as well as asian countries. I have used alot that aren't here because I have finished using them. To use sheet mask cleanse your face make sure there's no makeup or anything on it, open up the packing,  place it on the face for 10-15 minutes or longer depending on you, or what the instructions say. Little tip sometimes I'll keep it on for 30 minutes it really helps seal in the product. But let's begin.

Korean skincare haul

If you don't know already I'm very interested in Korean products Skin products. so I found these two web sites online one I have been using for around couple months it's called Imomoko,  and the other is called beauty net korea, they're both very awesome sights and very well known. I'm a moco is one that's very common on YouTube you can find review the suggestions of my people were interested like I am in Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, Chinese, Japan skincare products and/or makeup products and sometimes lifestyle, bath, clothing, and snacks. But beauty net was new to me and I saw a preview of them by one of my favorite Australian youtubers Shannan XO. so I decided to give it a whirl and I was very very happy you have a lot of cool specific products brands and the stuff usually goes on sale unlike imomoko where they have a steady rates. But the bad thing is to take a little bit longer to ship because Imomoko has a warehouse in California that allows products to get to Americans faster but Beauty net ships all over the world. They also have a lot of samples to choose from but if you want to buy some samples or something before you actually know by the full product they offer you multiple samples from anywhere from 2 to 6 dollars depending on the company and its product which is super awesome because you want to know what you're investing your money in before you buy it.
What I got from Imomoko:
• I got 2 I got to magie cochon on the collagen jelly packs,  they were on sale 2 for $14 and I usually get mines for around $13 but thats just one. I do like it and I have tried to previously it does smell like grape jelly but its in a brown color it is super jiggly and melts into the skin.
• the next thing I got was 2 back up lip mask by choosy in peach. We hope to hydrate the lips after exfoliation making them appear plump and healthy so if you suffer from dry lips this is something that you might want to check out and the great thing is it's only about $1.
•The last thing was a super elastic bust cream by  Elizavecca Milky piggy. If you go with my previous blog I told you about the same brand before, and how it completely enjoy their foaming cleanser. So I thought I'd give this a try. The price of this was I think 13 dollars.
Beauty net Korea:
• TonyMoly banana sleeping pack samples 10 for $3
• 2 Skin food samples of their Gold caviar cream with 10 in each both for $3 each pack
•2 Skinfood royal honey nutrition essence for anti-wrinkle effect 10 in each for $4 each pack.
• Etude house moistfull super collagen essence for $5 10 samples
• IOPE whitening luminous perfection serum full size 4 $15 because they're having a special
• secret key snail repairing essence full-size around $15
Their samples,
- TonyMoly panda dream eyepatch -TonyMoly intense care do affect sleeping pack
-TonyMoly banana hand milk
- Skinfood premium lettuce and cucumber watery cream
- TonyMoly avocado rich cream
- TonyMoly regencia Homme Multi Fluid

I really enjoy Korean products because they have a lot more competition than American skin care. They have so many options to choose from and if I could even give out samples and with every order even for just a regular non super expensive makeup skin care is really awesome it gives you the opportunity to try things see if you like something different. And the thing is that Korean products are expanding the beau ty boarders.  Their skincare tends to be very concerned over the effects of anti aging removing dark spots and overall hydration of the skin which is what helps keep people looking young. So if you're interested in Korean skincare I suggest checking out these websites I'm not going to paid by them or anything but I do use them. and I think that everyone should be able to skin care which is something that Asian countries are familiar with that. they even have skin care lines for men if you feel like this stuff is too girly or they look to pink or anything like that. Is very affordable. They attempt to use our natural products or ingredients that are very good for your skin. So if you want to check them out go crazy slime and it's not too expensive which is what everyone needs.

Elizavecca Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask

$13-16

100 g

This is a very famous Korean beauty brand that is really hitting the shelves in America more people are trying carbonated bubble clay mask thanks to the presence of more Korean beauty products availability online and in beauty stores.
I have seen this a lot due to beautiques BB bags, imomoko,  and memebox.  At this point I couldn't wait, a foaming mud mask cleanser, like omg how awesome. I am aware that glam - glow makes one but it's $38 and I wasn't handing over that much until I know it's really going to work for my dry skin.

 

Companies claim:

Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask is a bubble mud pack that provides pore cleaning and black head removal. One thing to keep in mind is this isn't meant for extremely dry skin or overly sensitive.

The carbonated bubbles gently massage the pores. Suitable for all skin types. Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask contains Green tea extract, Pomegranate extract and Extract powder of charcoal.

After paste mask to your skin for 5 minutes, bubbles are generated. Add some water to skin and massages two more minutes, effect of cleansing is maximized. 

My experience
when I received my cute little box I noticed the adorable caricature of a pig using a mud mask  and on top  cute little bunny wearing sunglasses. when opened inside the box was multiple bunnies wearing sunglasses and underneath them the companies name.

It came with a mini spoon and with a lid. I removed the protective lid because sometimes it would be hard to open. The product inside is like a slimy substance which is a dark gray color.

The effects on my skin 

The product requires a more than I would like to really bubble.  You need to apply a thick layer and rub into the skin. After it warms up you leave it in your clean skin for 8-10 minutes and the bubbles will turn a light grey color.  It also gives you the option of using water after ten minutes on to the foaming cleanser to really help get any residue off the skin. Leave that on for 2 minutes more and wipe off with a cloth and then some water and that's it.

My skin did feel clean and bright but not completely stripped of all oil's.  My black heads were gone  and my skin looked clear. My pores did shrink and my skin felt firmer.

 

Would I recommend this? 

Hells yah! I really enjoy using this, it did what it's supposed to do without killing my skin off. Plus the packaging is supper cute.
