It's more gentle than the Perfect Whip and isn't as drying, but now that I have become more attuned to the sensitivity level of my skin, I can definitely tell that it's drying out my skin and increasing sensitivity compared to my pH-balanced cleanser. It also produces a lot more lather with the same amount of product.Ĭompared to the springy, ultra-dense foam of the Perfect Whip, the Snail Repairing Foam isn't as robust so it's not a texture dupe. As you can see, the foam produced by the net is much finer and denser than the sponge, suitable for use with a Clarisonic brush which needs a buffer between the bristles and my skin. The amount of product I used in both tests was approximately the same, but my tube is so empty that it sputters as I dispense it so it's hard to get a visual similarity. The picture on the right is after I have run it under the faucet for several seconds in an effort to get to to come off it doesn't rinse off easily and again that makes me worry for people who are using it undiluted on their faces. I also feel like the unfoamed form is very stripping to the skin, would would make sense I suppose as it's not designed to be used undiluted. It definitely doesn't lather easily and requires a lot of physical agitation. You can see on the left how it just maintains a glossy texture without foam when worked with the hands.
Now that I've used it, I sort of shudder to think of people using this 'straight' on their face instead of mixing it, because it's a very tenacious creamy texture even after being run under the facet (below left) and then vigorously rubbed on the back of my hand much firmer than I would do to my face. “My face looks more youthful and supple, also my acne cleared up,” one writes, while another says, “The moisturizing is deep and that’s what softens the lines as it plumps up the skin and the skin feels soft.” One writes, “This face cream is AMAZING my breakouts have almost completely vanished since I started using it, the lines around my mouth and eyes when I smile feel more plump and bouncy, and it’s lightweight enough to use alone or under makeup without making my face oily and makeup runny.The pearlescence is a little luxurious touch that I appreciate, although there's no value other than "ooo, shiny" as you foam it up immediately anyway and it loses the effect. Last but not least, the peptides give a youthful appearance.” And many reviewers attest that this cream really does all that.
Third, the green tea help delaying the signs of aging. Second, the hyaluronic acid improve skin’s texture and appearance with its moisture. As another user points out this moisturizer has a lot more than just snail mucin going for it: “First, the snail extract is clinically proven to benefits all skin types especially those with acne prone, aging, or sensitive skin. “For those who have facial skin like a reptile and your face literally is flaking … then click and add to your cart,” one reviewer, who saw great improvement in their skin’s moisture, writes.
