[Review] Nature Republic Snail Solution 70 Essence

Around October 2014, I was stupid enough to get myself a scar on my nose using a blackhead extractor. So I decided to get the Snail Solution Essence around the ending of December since the line is suppose to help repair damaged skin, brighten, and help moisturize.
At first I didn't believe that snail could actually help "repair damaged skin" including scars, but after a month of using it my scar has gotten smaller.

The packing is really simple, and comes with a pump.
The 70 stands for the percentage of snail mucus is instead of the essence.
The back is in Korean.

Description
"Revitalizing & Moisturizing."

Price
Around $40-$50 in Hawaii

Size
Not mentioned anywhere on the product???

Product
The texture is really sticky when you touch it, but as you rub it into your skin it absorbs really well.

I don't have any good pictures showing my scar.. (I avoided taking pictures for awhile.) but that red dot in picture was really bad, I actually wore a bandage on my nose for about a month. The second picture the scar is no longer there.

Pros:
         - It helped my scar
         - Absorbs really well
         - My complexion has gotten so much better
Cons:
          - On the pricey side

Recommendations
- The snail line is actually good for any skin type, so it does help break outs as well.
- Snail is good for anti-aging as well
- This is the essence the ingredients are more concentrated (More nutrition)

Overall, Repurchase?
Probably yes, my skin seems really nice ever since I started using this in my skincare.

Good luck and have fun lovelys

[Review] Nature Republic Snail Solution 50 Sleeping Mask

Snail Solution here we go! Yes, snail solution as in snail secretion. Have no fear, this is the absolute rave in Korea as well as Japan. The latest trend in Japan is using actual snails in spas to help with anti-aging. Snails are put onto people's faces when they get a facial. It is said to have help improve the overall health of the skin. The sleeping mask from the Snail Solution line is super moisturizing for the skin and revitalizes the skin.
"Revitalizing and Moisturizing"
Bottled Packaging
The Snail Solution 50 Sleeping Mask from Nature Republic is a super thick sleeping mask that packs a lot of moisture. Although the weather in Hawaii is usually warm, I like to use this over the winter because my skin is super sensitive to weather change. I think in Hawaii, the temperature is a little bit cooler, still pretty tropical. Other than that, it occasionally gets rainy and windy. 
One way Nature Republic sells this product is in the form of a bottle. When you press on the top, the slot releases the sleeping mask. There is actually another container for the Snail Solution 50 Sleeping Mask. I'm not sure if Nature Republic still sell the small single use packages in the sets of 30 (I think). Personally, I think the bottle container that I have is better in the sense that I can control how much of the product I want on my face instead using a predetermined amount. Alongside that, the bottle sells for a relatively cheaper price. I forgot the cost of the product, but it is about $20 - $30. 
Product on my Skin
Overall, this is a wonderful product. At first my skin is a bit sticky but overnight, my skin fully absorbs the moisture from the sleeping mask and leaves my skin feeling super moisturized and plump. The thing about sleep mask is that you always want to put it on your skin at least 15 minutes before you sleep. Waiting for 15 minutes will let the skin absorb in some of the sleeping mask and it will also prevent the sleeping mask from getting onto your pillow or blanket while you're sleeping. For sleeping masks, you want to apply it on after using a toner. It is very similar to creams and lotions where the entire serum gets absorbed by the skin. You wash off the product when you wake up.

Rating: 8/10
Pros: super moisturizing, replenishes moisture to the skin, makes the skin feel softer and more plump
Cons: needs to wait for skin to absorb it, not so great for hot and humid weather
Thanks for tuning in and see you next time!

[Review] Nature Republic Snail Solution 10,000 Hydrogel Eye Patch

Hello Cuties~ back with another review today C: Two weeks ago was our final exam week and I had stayed up pretty late and lack of sleep. The only thing that helped me stay awake was energy drinks, coffee, and naps. However, to keep myself from looking like a zombie, I used Nature Republic's Snail solution 10,000 hydrogel eye patch. I have not tried any other eye patches before, so I decided to give this one a try. Since it contains 10,000 ppm of snail solution (snail mucus), it will help penetrate my skin and sooth my dark eye circle. Here is a picture of how it looks like in the package and on me, along with some directions on the back.

Instruction:

  • After washing the face, you can apply toner (optional for deep absorption)
  • Place the eye patch below your eyes or on areas you want to focus on (see the picture above)
  • Leave it on for 30-40 minutes
  • After time is up, throw the patch away and pat around the eye area so it will absorb more into the skin.


PROS:

  • It contains snail mucus which helps with brightening, skin cell regeneration, moisturizing, etc.
  • The texture of the hydrogel is very hydrating and soothing my dark eye circle along with puffy eye bags.
  • It is easy to use.


CONS:

  • It is one-time use, so if you are looking for multiple uses, it is better to go with an eye cream.
  • I think it was my face shape, but the patch kept sliding off, so it is better to lie down and take a little nap while doing this.


COST:

  • cost around $4.00 - 5.00 in Hawai'i
  • Repurchase? Yes, I would repurchase this for a quick repair or relaxation of the eye bags, but I would buy an eye cream if I constantly have dark circle or puffy eye bags.

PHOENIX \m/ UPDATE:
Hey guys! Check out Jinx's vocal cover of BOA's White wishes! It is wonderful to discover that the members could dance and sing!

Thank you so much for reading~ hope you all rest well during the break and catch up on some sleep to prevent dark circles! Mahalo~
