[Review] Nature Republic The Secret of Moisture Snail Special Set

This is a new Snail Line that came into Nature Republic recently~
This is suppose to have less Snail Mucus, but they added different ingredients to sub for it (which I will mention later), and no active ingredients (Like Niacinamide, which is used for brightening). So it's suppose to be more on the moisturizing side, helps with acne, and extremely mild so it's good for ages 13 and up!

Packaging
The set comes in this box that has the cutest packaging with snails on it.
The back has all the product information as well.
The toner uses grapefruit extract to help soften and soothe the skin texture
Emulsion has olive oil extract to moisturize, and nourish the skin
Cream has Shea butter to give the skin a radiant glow

The set comes with a mini foam cleanser, toner, emulsion, and cream.
Product
I didn't include the foam cleanser because it's pretty similar to Jessica's review, expect the texture is lighter.

The toner is thick, and just like all the snail lines it has that gooey texture. When you apply it to the face it doesn't feel heavy at all, just like any other liquid toner.
The emulsion feels quite heavy when you touch it with your hands, but once applied to the face it absorbs really well.
The cream in my opinion is more of a night cream. When I tried to use it during the day as well, it was pretty overwhelming for my skin. So I like to let it absorb over night. The application as you see was very messy.

Price
N/A for the set at the moment(I'll edit it when the price comes out).
The individuals are sold for $20.90 in Hawaii.

Size
Toner 150ml
Emulsion 150m
Cream 75ml
Foam Cleanser 30ml

Pros
       - Makes skin feel really smooth, and soft
       - It includes all the basic things you need for skincare
       - Since it's mild(good for sensitive skin) even 13+ people can use it
Cons
       - Hard to dispense products
       - Doesn't come with spatula for cream

Recommendations?
- If you're oily skin, you don't have to use the cream unless you're okay with letting it absorb overnight
- This line is different than the Snail Solution line(Helps anti-aging), this one is more for moisture, and it also helps with break outs

Overall, repurchase?
As of now no, because I'm still using my tea tree emulsion. Maybe in the future, I liked the results it gave me with my skin texture though.

Good luck and have fun lovelys
