My skin loves snail (the essence from this same line is one of my favorite skincare products), so I ordered this cream to replace my other, harder to find and more expensive, snail cream. It turned out I liked this one better! The texture feels like a very lightweight gel, it absorbs nicely on the skin and doesn't leave any residue after a few minutes. It doesn't feel heavy, but rather like a light moisturizer that does a good job of keeping the skin hydrated. For winter months or when my skin feels drier, maybe it's not enough, but other than that I don't need to layer it over other creams. It also works great for healing skin; I noticed small pimple spots heal way faster when I dab a bit of this cream over the area. Besides, the jar is quite big and I don't need much for the whole face, so it seems like it will last for months. When I do run out of it, I will definitely repurchase.
