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.

Innisfree Jeju volcanic black head out balm

Innisfree Jeju volcanic black head out balm. It's a more natural company that uses volcanic ash of the main ingredient. All the products are recyclable and good for the environment. The are derived from Japan.
Claims:
Jeju volcanic ash absorbs sebum and melts black head with oil massage.
Balm type that turns to smooth oil by temperature with massaging.
Melts black head, oxidized sebum, to offer deep cleansing for clean skin.
Essentially this product is made to melt into your pores and remove excess dirt and oil that makes them appear larger.
You supposed to grab a small amount and rub that in to the pores from 3 to 5 minutes warming up the balm into an oil. Then rinse with warm water.

 what this does for my pores is Remove excess oil and dirt. It does feel really weird but it makes sense. It's like if you want to really cleanse your face using oil first helps softened skin pull up dirt. As for black heads, they were easier to extract and if removed with a tripling cleanser, the pores feel fresh and clean. Do you need this no. but it I fun and it helps if you suffer from access oils.

Tony Moly Pandas White Cream

Tony Moly Pandas white Cream

Disclosures; these are my personal opinions, I do not mean to offend or discourage anyone. I am only review the products not the social idealism behind them.  

Unit price $8

This cutely packaged cream is much like Secret key Snow white pack. I am currently in the process of testing the original formula. The whole point of this cream is to temporarily whiten your skin and though time, with regular use it will whiten the skin 1 to 2 shades.  This is not much different than a Self-tanner, for those whom will automatically say it’s racist. It’s much like the American concept of tanning or having radiantly tan skin, in Asia its beautiful whiten skin. But that aside I feel complexed about this product.

Here’s why:

Pros    

·         This was affective in lightening the skin.

·         Does brighten the skin

·         Removed the appearance of all hyperpigmentation

·         Gave the face a completely even skin tone

·         Made the face look soft and skin look smooth among first application.

·         Can be layered for an even more dramatic effect

Cons

·         Thick feeling cream

·         Causes breakouts after 1 hour of use

·          Hard to blend

This contained some toxins that can be harmful. Personally it works but I don’t really like it much. And I wouldn't put personally use this on my face I do like this for the elbows and knees.
