I did not mean to buy it, but as my order was delayed, I was in need of an emergency product and ended up picking it up from TX Maxx.
I like Tiam's Snail cleanser, but so far the brand itself did not impressed me with its offerings. BUT, this moisturizer does deserve its praise. It is indeed pore minimizing and hydrating! My combo skin likes it even in colder season.
