MIZON SNAIL RECOVERY GEL REVIEW ~snail heals

Here's another snail product from Mizon, Snail Recovery Gel Cream.  I am going to share my thoughts as i am already used half tube.  As mentioned from my previous entry, i bought this as a bundle together with the All-in-one snail repair cream from F2plus1.  I did not use this immediately because i was so happy with their repair cream that i dont want to try other products at that time.  However, when I went flew to the Philippines, the tub of their repair cream is quite bulky so i decided to just bring this Recovery Gel instead.  It is in a tube form, easy to travel with.

The claims on the bottle:
Created for Wrinkle Care by KFDA
Lightweight snail gel cream containing 74% of Snail filtrate

On to the review, the first time i applied this gel, i felt nothing - not in a bad way, as it claims to be a lightweight gel - so it is true in this sense.  It is also not as thick as the repair cream because it only contains 74% snail filtrate.  It is not greasy and easily absorbed.

After applying this, i immediately felt that my skin is silky and softer.  This is one of the qualities of this Recovery gel and also the Repair cream from Mizon is that you can really feel the results even i a short span of time, and even more with continued usage of their product.
As it was summer in the Philippines the time I was there, this calms and soothes my face after sun exposure, it also has a slight cooling feel to it ~ refreshing.

Regarding the wrinkle care claims of this gel, well, luckily I have no wrinkles yet, but if this does cater to wrinkles then may be in 50 years I can attest to that claim.

I also tried using this to spot treat my pimples and i was so amazed that the next day after applying the pimple is not swollen anymore. - snails heals!

I am not really a gel-moisutizer-type-of-person, I rather slather thicker creams so I have mixed feeling about this. It is great if your going for outdoor activities, as again it is soothing and refreshing. Mind you guys, although this is lightweight, its moisturizing power is superb. But overall, this Mizon Recovery Gel wont replace my Repair cream as my main moisturizer. How about you guys, have you tried this product?

SLIMY, YET SATISFYING! MIZON ALL-IN-ONE SNAIL REPAIR CREAM REVIEW

Since I started living here in The Middle East, my skin has been dry, like the desert - literally, its dehydrated, dull, flaky, and I broke out (a lot)!  I tried a lot of moisturizer and even petroleum jelly with no significant effect.

Then, I came across this new craze - SNAIL secretion. Eww right, but I am really in need of something to hydrate my skin, so I'm willing to try it! I searched for the best one in the market and I found many raves about Mizon All-In-One Snail Repair Cream and Gel -- whoa!, all-in-one and repair, just what I needed! I bought this item on Ebay F2plus1. It is kind of expensive, around 20 USD (approximately 75 SAR) at the time i bought it, but it includes a 120 ml of the cream and 45 ml snail gel.

So what are the claims of this All-In-One Repair 

Snail Cream?

MIZON:  The All-In-One Snail Repair Cream hydrates, helps improve the appearance of fine lines, and helps reduce the appearance of acne scarring and blemishes. Try it to see what all the buzz is about. Ideal for oily and acne-prone to combination skin types. Appropriate for dry skin if used under a heavier cream.
Snail secretion filtrate: Snail secretion filtrate is known for its anti-aging and skin repairing properties that improves the overall texture and skin tone of the face, it makes up 92% of this product.
Centella Asiatica Extract: Extracted from the Centella asiatica herb, this ingredient is  traditionally used to treat damaged skin, which is proven to speed the process of healing damaged skin and to fade scars. Since the herb is antibacterial and contains wound-healing properties, it is perfect for those who are suffering from acne and/or acne scars.

The first time I used this, I felt some stingy sensation in some parts of my face, but no redness or itchiness. The consistency is sticky, I believe it is because of the high concentration of snail secretion in it - slimy. It is easily absorbed by the skin. The best thing about this is that upon waking up in the morning, my skin is so plump, glowing, and looks really hydrated - it's literally like magic!! Another thing i noticed is that my breakouts slowly disappeared and never came back as worse as before, and also, my pimple marks and blemishes lightens, they are still there but not as dark as they used to be. - amazing right!?

I have been using this nonstop 2x a day, a little goes a long way so the 120 ml tub lasts me about 6 months (I am already on my second tub, and about to order my third).

I can really say that it is the best skin care I ever bought. I really recommend this to all of you, this is legit! their claims are real!

Snails may be slow, but the effect of their secretions are fast and magical!

As Pumba once said,

*An update on the stinging sensation I felt. I noticed that I only have this feeling in some areas in my face, and these areas are the ones that are really dry and flaky, and sometimes around my pimples too.I, therefore, believe that it is the healing effect of the cream and not an adverse reaction as it goes away after the cream is absorbed, so no worries guys!!*
