If you want more snails in your life, I highly recommend Mizon's Multi Function Formula Snail Recovery Gel Cream (an HG of mine, reviewed here) and my favourite BB cream is the Mizon Snail Repair BB cream ( reviewed here), and I'm even a fan of their All-In-One lightweight cream (review coming soon!) but as for the foaming cleanser, I'd give that a pass. However, knowing what I now know about pH, I can't in good conscience recommend this to anyone.
#Mizon snail cream skin
If you don't care about pH and you have teflon skin that can handle the most alkaline of cleansers, you may really like this product. I can't deny it looks impressive, and you all know I love me some snails, but I'm just not convinced I'm getting much out of this beyond gobs of lather, a thorough clean, and nuclear bombardment of my skin's precious and fragile acid mantle. Speaking of ingredients, normally I would get into all the details of the cool ingredients featured in this product, but like I said, it's a cleanser and it spends so little time on your skin that it's really not going to impart much in the way of benefits, despite all the lovely eyecandy: So only Myristic Acid and Lauric Acid are notable, but as always keep an eye out for ingredients that you know you have issues with. PEG-100 Stearate, which is a Surfactant with a 1/5 for Acne.Lauric Acid, which is an Emulsifier with a 4/5 for Acne and 1/5 for Irritation.Myristic Acid, which is a Fragrance and Emulsifier 3/5 for Acne.Butylene Glycol, which is a Solvent and Moisturizer 1/5 for Acne.Stearic Acid, which is a Surfactant and Emulsifier 2/5 for Acne.Myristic acid, Lauric Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Propylene Glycol, Cocoamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-14M, Snail Secretion Filtrate, Polysorbate 20, Polyquaternium-7, Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, Gypsophila Paniculata Root Extract, Carica papaya, Ivy Extract, Plant extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Artemisia Absinthium Extract, Achillea Millefolium Extract, Gentiana Lutea Root Extract, Ethanol, Camellia Sinensis, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance Water, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Potassium Hydroxide (pH Adjuster- if ya used a pH Adjuster, Mizon, why is the pH so damn high?! Answer me that, huh?) Butylene Glycol, Sodium Polyacrylate. The ingredients also come with a few flags, courtesy of : 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. 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.
