COSRX Snail Mucin Essence

Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

Retails at SGD28.90 in Watsons for 100ml

A light-weight essence that absorbs quickly for the natural glowy skin which is all the hype these daus. Made from nutritious, filtered snail mucin this product leaves skin feeling moisturised and brightens up complexion.

Benefits include fading of hyperpigmentation, improved skin texture, anti-aging and intense hydration. Mainly targets dull/rough skin, dehydrated, sensitive/damaged skin as well as acne scars.

To use, simply apply a small dolop over your face after cleansing and toner step. Pat in with circular motions for better absorption and then you can continue with other moisturisers (see Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum).

I use it as part of my night routine. It is able to quickly soothe any irritation on my skin when I am breaking out and the glowing is indeed observable on the skin. Easily the best purchase so far! Even better that it is cruelty free. I definitely need to stock up on more of these.

It doesn’t clog my pores too.

Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum Review

Green Tea Seed Serum

Highly raved in Korea, the moisture-barrier strengthening serum claims to provide hydration and soothes irritable skin. It comes in a simple bottle, which proves handy for travel. Key ingredients include Green Tea Extracts and Hyaluronic Acid all known to promote healthier, supple skin. 

Consistency is sheer, watery albeit very slightly thick. Allowing it to be easily absorbed into the skin on application. Fragrance is also minimal. Good for all skin types - normal, combination and oily but recommended for those with dry skin, oiling skin and trouble-prone skin. 

I've been incorporating it into my daily and night routine the step after cleanser. Though presumably due to the humidity in my place, its effects on my skin wasn't very visible despite my consistent use over the past 2 months. Perhaps you might have more dramatical results with drier weather. ymmv

What I like about it is the use of active natural ingredients and it being silicone-free which is my make-or-break tbh. Its got natural anti-oxidants such as Orchid Extract, Tangerine Peel Extract which helps with anti-aging. 

This is actually one of Innisfree's best sellers retailing at SGD39 for a 80ml bottle, pretty pricey for a small bottle.
