I have a few spots and uneven skin around that area and was wondering if I should give this one a try. <br />http://beautifullyme.inBeautifully Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655721595545125973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-44183662975834983222017-07-21T13:29:31.288-07:002017-07-21T13:29:31.288-07:00I was SO looking forward to trying this after your...I was SO looking forward to trying this after your review, especially considering how relatively affordable and easy to order it is. However, no matter what I layer under this, the "sticky" texture that you report as going away within 30 seconds, sticks around on me for over an hour. This makes it extremely uncomfortable to wear, and means that I can't put it on at night because my face then sticks to everything- the pillow, my hair, my pet's hair, any stray fabrics lying around...it's pretty gross. I'll be keeping the Mizon All-In-One snail repair cream in my lineup, because I find that the light, quick-to-absorb cream gives me all the benefits of the snail mucin without any of the ick from the gel. I'm going to have to try out some other occlusive options to see which one will give me the soft-touch finish that I really want.JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367776828423417565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-69421769448701682762017-04-21T13:53:45.858-07:002017-04-21T13:53:45.858-07:00Should it go on before or after sunscreen?Should it go on before or after sunscreen?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886664739182065168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-26791768989796610032016-10-16T14:35:24.232-07:002016-10-16T14:35:24.232-07:00Thank you for your awesome review!

Being a cream snob and not ever using anything that was under $50 and up to absurd prices, (other than my mom's Ponds night cream I used as a little girl) I am seriously blown away at this gel's ability to keep my very dry dehydrated sensitive skin so hydrated ALL DAY LONG! I love the consistency, it's just the right texture for day use, and again, the fact that it keeps me hydrated is crazy to me because everything else I've used was very thick and rich, but never really socked into the skin the way this gel cream does. And the price? It's insane, almost seemed too good to be true. I go to the mirror (too) often just to admire how hydrated my skin looks. For a dehydrated skin girl, this is like a miracle shot!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01028733567209927560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-34819911033883085572016-09-16T22:43:40.160-07:002016-09-16T22:43:40.160-07:00Yesssss, I did the same when I managed to lobster ...Yesssss, I did the same when I managed to lobster myself with less than 10 minutes unexpected arm exposure!

I use it every day and I have recommended it to everyone. I accidentally got sunburned on my arm (sunscreen application fail, horrid for a Fitzgerald I as you know) and I put this on instead of aloe. It took the heat and tenderness right out. I recommended to my niece who often gets rough patches on her face and not only did she love it she also uses it on her 4 year old who has the same problem. Another friend has a child with eczema and her daughter hated the stuff she was putting on because it burned. She started using this and the daughter's skin has completely cleared up. The cool thing is that it's for people of all skin types. You are right- it is THE PRECIOUS!Stellarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409935637793322161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-52784454756678203132016-08-29T19:00:38.721-07:002016-08-29T19:00:38.721-07:00Hello, Cat!

Would you be so kind as to answer my questions?<br /><br />I want to buy the COSRX Natural BHA Skin Returning A Sol as a way to introduce my skin to the actives (I know you said it's not really working as such, but it is still doing something and it does have the BHA and AHA even if in lower percentage/levels) and I kinda understood from all of the info that it should go after cleansing and before moisturizing toner an other stuff, correct? My question is, do I have to wait those cca 15 minutes after washing my face (I usually use the egg white pore cleanser from skin food) before applying this stuff too? <br />Also, what are your thoughts on the egg white pore cleanser? I searched online and the bloggers are warning about high PH levels of it, but I have a sensitive/oily skin and have never had any problems with the product. It doesn't cause any irritation, more like the opposite, so I am quite confused. Maybe I should switch to a cleanser with lover PH...SNlois - Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14213383669035939620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-49934681689533627972016-06-27T03:33:15.684-07:002016-06-27T03:33:15.684-07:00Hello! :")

I am searching for a moisturiser / cream for my skincare regime and I was wondering if you could recommend me one. Another possible moisturiser is the Mizon Multi-function All In One Snail Repair Cream.

But my result seems to be different from everyone else. All this stuff did was make my face sticky and gooey feeling. And it was still a bit tacky in the morning. There was no hydrating, no plumping, no benefit that I could see. I tried it again the following night with the same annoying result. I bought 3 tubes of this because I got a good deal, but now I get to sell them off on eBay where sellers are just about giving it away. Honestly, I have tried several other Korean products and have found them all to be a lot of hype. The fact that there's no English on the packaging alarms me. I guess most women today will put anything on, or into their bodies just because others rave about it.

I just wanted to let you know that it's marvelous. I bought it to hydrate my face and generally make it happier, since I live in coastal/inland Southern California. Technically, it's called "scrubland" and not desert. Anyway, the first thing is that it's working beautifully for my face. Thank you so much for your thorough reviews! <br /><br />The second thing is why I am commenting in the first place. Last night, my lip was cut open by a heavily-gloved fist (my sport of choice is shotokan karate; it comes with the territory...). Remembering the thing about snail filtrate healing skin, I put a bit of the Recovery Gel Cream directly on my lip before going to sleep and this morning, before going to work. Mid-morning, the wound had closed! I'm still applying it since it's not completely healed yet, but there is certainly progress. I doubt this is a particularly common use for the Recovery Gel Cream, but I just wanted to say that it works wonderfully for this, too. Yay for the Gel Cream! For me, at least, it really multi-functioned!!!

I use Cosdna to look up ingredients lists- as long as you see something marked as 'preservative' you should be fine.<br /><br />Take care :)Cat Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052704885218633917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-20476294756214394352015-09-15T19:09:45.328-07:002015-09-15T19:09:45.328-07:00Hello Cat, Thanks for the informative post!!

I recently purchased a bottle from Amazon (seller Beautyspace) for approximately $12 & I found the product to be a little different than you described. The box lacked the holographic seal & the gel cream itself felt like it was mostly comprised of glycerin. It never fully absorbed on the skin & remained tacky/sticky (like glyercin!). Is it possible that I received a counterfeit product? I'm in desperate need of a hydrating product that absorbs readily into the skin, one that I can layer a heavier, occlusive cream on top. I've tried Laneige Sleeping Mask with some success, but I'm on the hunt for something with 'stronger' hydration properties, without breaking the bank.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04093287070798953881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-70322971677483724552015-06-17T16:02:04.790-07:002015-06-17T16:02:04.790-07:00I have not, because Benton does not use standard p...I have not, because Benton does not use standard preservatives that are required for international shipments. Their packaging includes warnings not to subject their products to heat, cold, or light. Because it's pretty much a guarantee that my products will endure heat during shipment, I stick to products that don't require controlled climate for their entire lifespan to remain stable.<br /><br />But, YMMV; if I lived in Korea and could buy their products locally and thus control their temperatures, I'd definitely be willing to give it a shot.Cat Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052704885218633917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-66683774543243204282015-06-17T01:07:53.048-07:002015-06-17T01:07:53.048-07:00Have you used the Benton Snail Bee Essence?
