Doesn’t cause acne. Skin absorbs it fast. Plumps the skin. I love the fact that this has snail mucin which is hydrating and is good for conditioning skin but also the product contains a lot of peptides.

such an underrated product! much more interesting than other snail essences (cosrx snail essence I'm looking at you!) - and serums. It is gel-like, the finish is not sticky, absorbs quickly. the skin looks elastic and moisturized

This was my first retinol product, The formula is an oil but after applying it, but it doesnt feel oily at all. Theres also no purging nor any stinging. After applying the oil and my usual moisturizer i dont feel heavy. Sometimes after i wake up i may feel a little bit of oily-ness but i usually wash my face in water in the morning so obv its basically not a problem at all when ur sleeping.

Good deal. It helps me to reduce small wrinkles on my forehead and unclog my pores. Also, it helps me to get rid of pimples.
