• What it is: A dense, nourishing cream infused with black snail filtrate, royal jelly, peptides and niacinamide, claiming to target skin elasticity, dullness, and signs of fatigue.
• Why I picked it up: I was looking for something that could do more — not just moisturize, but actively help with texture and elasticity. My skin’s been feeling a bit “meh” lately, like it needs a little coaching.
My experience:
I didn’t expect to enjoy the texture as much as I do. It looks rich, but it actually absorbs beautifully. There’s a cushiony resistance at first — almost balm-like — but the finish is satiny rather than oily. No overwhelming scent, no heaviness, and surprisingly no clogged pores after multiple nights of use.
After about 10 days, I noticed something subtle but significant: my skin wasn’t just hydrated — it felt resilient. It bounced back more when I touched it. That tired look I sometimes get around my mouth and under-eyes? Softened. I wouldn’t call this an anti-aging miracle cream, but it’s incredibly effective at making your skin look alive again.
Who it’s for:
If your skin needs structure and you’re entering that phase where “dewy” needs help from more than just hydration — this is a great one. I especially recommend it for people transitioning out of heavy makeup and into “my skin, but better” routines.
- Is the ‘black’ snail really that different, or is it marketing?
- Daytime use? Does it play nice under sunscreen/makeup, or is it strictly a PM product?
- Layering wise, can I slap this over my retinol, or will it pill like my last breakup?
- You said ‘no overwhelming scent,’ but is it truly fragrance-free, or just ‘subtle herbal’ deception?
