This is the best snail essence I've ever tried. It's slightly stringy/gooey (see pictures) but still liquidy. It absorbs into my skin really fast and leaves no sticky feeling. I've only used it 4 times so far and while I can't see any miracles, my skin looks and feels more hydrated. I love the ingredient list too: 96% snail and minimal extra ingredients, so there are less chances of your skin having a bad reaction.
