⭐Main Ingredient: Snail Secretion, Niacinamide, Aloe Leaf Juice, Bee Venom, Aloe Leaf Extract

First Impression & Experience: ★★★★★

It's my first snail secretion product, moreover with bee venom ingredient as a combination. From the consistency, I'd rather consider it as a serum than an essence. It's very pudding-like, almost feels like the Nature Republic's Aloe Vera Jelly, but with no fragrance at all. It immediately soothes my skin when my skin was going through a super sensitive period (due to over exfoliation & damaged skin barrier), where even normal cream/artemisia essence would make it stings like crazy.

Pros:

• Soothes irritation skin immediately - Bee Venom ingredient
• Solves inflamed pimple problem - Bee Venom ingredient
• Minimizes pore's appearance & fade PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation) - Niacinamide ingredient
• Improve damaged skin barrier - Snail secretion ingredient

Cons:

• Hard to get to the bottom of the product when it's almost used up

Final Thoughts & Conclusion:

Dry patches around the mouth that caused the itchiness & irritation was soothed immediately with this product. It flattens any inflamed pimple & healed post-acne spots. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (dark spots caused by those pimples) appearance was also significantly faded.

It's a very good product to rely on when you suffer from damaged skin barrier. One whole pump is enough for my full face. The result is amazing. It's also a product to always have on hands for emergency or premenstrual cycle when the skin condition was very sensitive & hormonal breakouts. Using it as an everyday essence/serum can maintain your skin's health. Pair it with artemisia/mugwort products, especially in watery essence form, it'll be the best combination.

When I was having a very damaged skin barrier, I discovered this product from Kelly Driscoll's YouTube videos (skincare-enthusiast youtuber). Both this & ^Cosrx's Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence caught my eyes. I'll get my hands on the Cosrx's soon & talk about it.
