does everything you expect snail products to do: hydrates, lightens scars and pigmentation (though not significantly, at least for me). what i really appreciated about it was that in the morning i could feel that the product had really soaked into my skin instead of other products where i wake up and it feels like it's still sitting on top of my face. so really felt like this one worked. will be repurchasing when im done. seems to last forever too, it's a pretty big tub and you honestly dont need much per use.
