Review: Mizon Multi Function Formula Snail Repair Eye Cream

Mizon Multi Function Formula Snail Repair Eye Cream
Description: Formulated with 80% of snail secretion filtrate and E.G.F (Epithelial Cell Growing Factor) that are effective in brightening skin around eyes and caring for wrinkles.

Benefits of Snail Mucus:

Claims:

Directions: Apply a small amount of eye cream to the eye area using a gentle dabbing motion.

Ingredients:
Snail Secretion Filtrate, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Niacinamide, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Glyceryl Stearate, Phytosqualane, Octyldodecyl Myristate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Peg-100 Stearate, Beeswax, Dimethicone, Stearic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Polyacrylate-13, Polyisobutene, Polysorbate 20, RH Oligopeptide-1, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Seed extract, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice, Adenosine, Caprylyl Glyocol, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Tropolone, Disodium EDTA

Price: *ooops, I could not remember...*

Packaging:
The product comes in a rectangular, matte metallic gold colored box. 

One side of the box is sealed with a hologram Mizon's "Genuine Seal of Authenticity" sticker with "Mizon's logo" and the words ".Original Mizon." and "MIZON(in both English and Korean)". There is a "Korea Model Association Certification (KMAC)" logo printed on the other side of the box. 

TIPS: Look out for the "hologram seal sticker" when you purchase any Mizon products. As long as there is such hologram Mizon's seal sticker on the package then no worries, you pretty much got the real stuff. 

It comes in a squeezable metallic gold colored tube with a bronzy-brown plastic screw-off cap.

Color & Consistency:
(P.S: For application to the eye area, instead of massage in the cream, use a gentle dabbing motion.)

It has a white, soft, tacky and creamy consistency. It's light and thin thus, it gets absorbed pretty fast. It may feel sticky at first but once it gets absorbed, the stickiness will be greatly reduced. It's not very greasy and it leaves skin matte and hydrated.

Scent:
It does not contain any artificial fragrances but it does have a mild scent which I don't know how to describe. It has a similar scent to Mizon All-In-One Snail Repair Cream. The scent is not too strong hence, upon application, it's barely noticeable.

Likes:
- packaging come with a hologram "Genuine Seal of Authenticity" sticker
- formulated with 80% snail secretion filtrate and E.G.F
- moisturizing; not drying
- smooth out and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
- prevent future wrinkles and fine lines
- brighten up the eye area
- cream is not so thick; it's light and thin
- fast absorption
- not very sticky and not very greasy after absorption
- leaves skin matte and hydrated
- free of artificial fragrances
- does not cause breakouts
- not harsh nor irritating
- product comes in tube form — more hygienic
- user-friendly (easy to use), travel-friendly, hassle-free

Dislikes:
- does not seem to diminish my dark circles and puffy eyes

Verdict: Mizon Multi Function Formula Snail Eye Cream hydrates the delicate skin around the eye area without leaving a thick layer of stickiness or grease once it gets absorbed. It is not very heavy hence, it gets absorbed into the skin kinda quick.

Regarding to the claims on fine lines and wrinkles... well, I only have one mild fine line on each under eye area. After using this eye cream for about 3 to 4 months, the fine lines are gone and I feel the skin around the eye area is firmer. FYI, my mom also uses this eye cream. It is part of her skin care routine for more than a year! Up to present, the appearance of her wrinkles and fine lines around her eye have also reduced and the eye area feels more firmer too. We can totally feel and tell the difference! Take note that with long-term use, the results are more noticeable. 

On the downside, this eye cream does not seem to diminish my dark circles. However, it does brighten up the eye area and create an illusion that make the dark circles less dark. The brightening result is subtle though. With that said, this might not be able to help much in treating and/or concealing extreme dark circles. In my view, this eye cream care more on fine lines and wrinkles.

Mizon Multi Function Formula Snail Eye Cream comes in jar and tube. Jar contains 25ml of product whilst tube contains only 15ml of product.

I got it in tube because I find it is smaller, more compact and lightweight, which makes it more travel-friendly. Besides that, it is more hygienic and convenient to use in my opinion. I just need to gently squeeze the tube to get the product out and it's easier to control the right amount I need. As for the jar, in terms of hygiene, I need to use a spatula (included in the box) which I find it is harder to get the exact amount. I always dig out either too much or too less... Therefore, I think tube is more user-friendly, travel-friendly, hygienic and hassle-free than the jar one. It is time-saving as well, as I do not need to clean the spatula after each use. Despite it's a small tube but a little goes along way!

Great news..., I will be giving away 2 tubes of Mizon Multi Function Formula Snail Eye Cream and you can check out the giveaway here: http://bitsdiaries.blogspot.com/2014/08/ongoing-giveaway-07.html

Review: Mizon All-In-One Snail Repair Cream

Snail Repair Cream Mizon All-In-One Snail Repair Cream 75ml
Description: This original snail mucus takes care of your all kind of skin problems in all-in-one skin care system on your first skin care step. It repairs tired and aging skin to be rejuvenating and it also the first protector of your naked skin.
Direction: At your first skin care step, apply proper amount of it to your face and let it absorbed into the deep skin.
**if you use a toner, then use this cream right after your toner. If not, then use this right after cleansing.
**it's a morning and night cream.

I can't stress enough how awesome this cream is! This is a miracle product! I have only used this for a month+ and the result it gives are truly amazing!!

After I read through the product articles(shown below), I bought the cream hopefully it would help heal my skin problems such as acne, post-acne hyperpigmentation/scars, redness, large pores etc. and to my surprise, it does work wonders! :)

Look at that! Omg, how it helped to clear up those monster zits!

I was sold to the cream after I saw these pictures review. -_-" To be honest, I used to have bad acne somewhat similar(whole cheek broke out! :( ) but not as bad as what's in the picture. But still, it's pretty bad to me. -_-"After clearing up all the zits, I have been searching for good products to control and maintain my somewhat clear skin. Well, I can't say that I have a totally flawless skin because I do still get zits occasionally and I still have post acne marks left from the horrible breakout. Anyway, before I make the purchase, I did more research on it because you know...sometimes consumer reviews can be fabricated. -_-

But don't worry~, I'm a honest reviewer! Trust me! :D

The cream comes in a sturdy glass jar container with a plastic twist-off screw cap. Right inside there is a plastic cover and it comes without a spatula. TSK! :(

Consistency:
It's 'slime-y'(like real snail slime/mucin) and sticky gel-like texture but no worry, it's not sticky after it absorbs into the skin. It's a non-greasy lightweight cream and it's not heavy at all.

Color:
As you can see from the pictures, the cream is in white color which absorbs into the skin without leaving a white cast/layer on the skin.

Scent:
It's fragrance-free! However, it does have a faint smell which I don't really know how to express...smell like a pure, raw and natural snail extract cream without adding in fragrance(?) [... ... ...] I don't know what I'm talking about... Orz [...] lol.  It does not have a strong or bad smell anyway.

Likes:
- contain 92% of snail secretion fitrate!
- all-in-one function!
- lightweight cream. it's not heavy at all!
- helps in skin regenerating
- speed up acnes and hyperpigmentation/scars healing!
- lighten and get rid of redness.
- Pores tightening! *my pores are smaller now yayy~*
- brighten up skin tone
- not sticky nor greasy!
- easy to apply
- absorbed into the skin fast!
- fragrance FREE!
- suits all skin type including sensitive skin!

Dislikes:
- not very moisturizing... I do use a hydrating moisturizer after using this.
- comes without a spatula! TSK! As I have mentioned before, I hate dipping my fingers in to dip out the cream! TSK TSK!

P.S: I don't have any wrinkles so I can't evaluate the "anti-wrinkle" claim. :x

By the way, I experienced a mild breakout when I first started using this cream however, I did not stop using it because I believe it's repairing my skin — pushing out all the gunk, that has been stuck deep down in the skin, to the surface. This last for about 2-3 weeks and yup, my patience paid off.~ 

That being said, keep in mind that...Anytime you start using a new product, do use it for a month before you make the final conclusion. Your skin needs time(est. 2-4 weeks) to get adapt to new products, routines or regimen. Don't expect drastic changes overnight.

On a side note, remember to do a small patch test before slapping the cream onto your face especially if you are using some other brand products in the same routine. I suffered from a skin reaction when I used this with Etude House AC Clinic Red Spot Balm and so I concluded both products can't be use in the same routine probably because of the ingredients. eg: Ingredient A + Ingredient B = Skin Reaction...? lol. 
(PS: Our skin are different so probably this would not happen to you.)

so and so..., I stopped using AC Clinic Red Spot Balm even though it does works well to lighten post acne hyperpigmentation/scars because I find the snail cream works even better. After all, snail secretion extract does have a lot of good benefits for the skin~ Wanna know more about snail secretion extract? GOOGLE! Yes, GOOGLE is your best friend. Lol. :D
