Snail slime extract may look gross for some of us but I bet some others already knew that snail slime works really good as anti-aging, repair skin damage issue, and also for hydrating skin.  No wonder that there are quite a lot of brands who launch their skincare product which contains of snail slime extract – and this facial cream from Namu Life is something that you shouldn’t miss because believe it or not, this SnailWhite is super hype, especially in Thailand ( since it’s actually a Thai brand ). Hence these days, not only Thai people who use this product but everyone, especially those who really love the double benefit Snail White has claimed – brightening and skin regeneration. Lucky me I got chance to try this product from Sociolla and share how this product works on my skin. Well, let’s just start it !

What it is :

Namu Life SnailWhite is a miracle nourishing cream that blends the snail secretion filtrate from Korea with essential natural plant extracts to achieve the specially formulated product. Namu Life Snailwhite is a special product with outstanding quality of skin regeneration and recovery. The cream effectively helps to heal acne scars, redness, darkspot and inflammation, minimize pores, while simultaneously enhances intensive hydration and noticeable firmness.  This product perfect for oily and combination skin.

How to use :

Apply only one pump of the cream sparingly onto the face and pat gently to let the cream absorbs into the skin. Use daily both in the morning and at night.

PACKAGING :

Sturdy acrylic bottle with unique round pump. This product is safely sealed with hologram seals on the paper box and on the bottle which is perfect for people who loves hygienic product. The description on the box is written with Thai but luckily there’s an English description on the back part of the bottle.

TEXTURE :

Light creamy texture ( which more like gel ) with no fragrance scent and slightly slimy too.

RESULT :

I’ve been using this Snailwhite Facial Cream for my day and night routine as moisturizer and I can really feel the result after more or less than 2 weeks. My skin is getting brighter and smoother. It hydrates my skin very well and doesn’t harm my skin. For day routine, I apply this facial cream before sun cream and I only need few amount of cream to cover all over my face which is very economic, plus it doesn’t leave any sticky feeling at all. It stays for quite long time ( around 8 hours ) before my skin starts to oily. While for night routine, I apply this cream after essence. Although it needs quite some while to absorbs into skin, I can say that this moisturizer is pretty good for my dry skin. It gives slight dewy on my face and it stays like that until I wake up in the morning ( I have this kind of habit to check my skin condition right after waking up in the morning, lol ). To be honest, I can’t really see if this product works for healing acne scars since I am currently not having that problem.

PROS :

- Hygienic and sturdy packaging ( comes with double hologram seals )

- Light creamy-gel texture

- Makes skin looks brighter and smoother

- Very economic ( only need few amount to cover whole face )

- Leaves slight dewy/glow on the skin without any sticky feeling

- Good for morning and night skincare routine

- Perfect for dry skin because it’s very soothing and hydrating

CONS :

- It takes minutes for the cream to absorbs into skin

- Cannot see how much the cream inside the bottle

Micellar water has become every beauty lover’s essential item as it can replace the use of oil / milk cleanser and toner which is very convenient and economic – so it’s a common situation if you saw many beauty bloggers write about micellar water review these days. Fyi, micellar water is an innovation of makeup remover which contains of micelles, tiny balls of cleansing oil molecules that intend to cleanse dirt and oil without drying out the skin. So probably that’s the reason why there are many beauty brands release their version of micellar water, as well as L’oreal Paris. As the skin care expert, L’oreal Paris launches two variants of micellar water which claims that it doesn’t only cleanse but also maintain skin’s natural moisture, plus it is also suitable for sensitive skin because it’s alcohol + fragrance free. Well, I just can’t wait to share with you guys my experience using this micellar water, so let’s just begin the review !

What it is :

Micellar water enriched with 95% pure water which suits for any skin type because of its alcohol-free, fragrance-free extract that comes with two variants :

- Rose water extract ( PINK ) to moisturize skin : for normal – dry skin

- Fresh mountain water ( BLUE ) to refresh skin : for normal – oily skin

PACKAGING :

Transparent yet sturdy plastic bottle securely sealed with plastic seal on the tube. Tube hole size is quite decent so we can take sufficient amount of the micellar water without worrying it will drip too much.

TEXTURE :

Watery texture which is very light and has no scent at all. For the pink one, it has slight oil sense.

RESULT :

As you can see from the pictures above, I swatch eyebrow pencil, waterproof eyeliner, waterproof mascara, liquid eyeshadow, matte lip cream, and foundation then I tried to cleanse them with both Blue and Pink micellar water. First swab, liquid eyeshadow can be removed easily while the rest is still there, but then after swabbing several times ( 4-5 times ), all makeup are completely gone. Both variants cleanse dirt perfectly but I can really tell the difference between using the Blue and Pink. Blue ( Refreshing ) leaves slight cool sensation and oil completely reduced without drying my skin, while Pink ( Moisturizing ) leaves my skin fully hydrated and soothed. As I said before that I can sense slight oil in this Pink micellar water but actually it doesn’t leave oil excess on my skin after cleansing like, no at all. It absorbs quickly and hyrdating skin very well. This Pink one probably the easiest way for me to skip makeup remover and just directly use this micellar water before start applying serum and moisturizer to lock the hydration.

PROS :

- Comes in two variants : for normal to dry and normal to oily skin

- Sturdy packaging and securely sealed

- Fragrance-free

- Alcohol-free

- Refreshing and moisturizing

- It doesn’t leave sticky feeling at all

CONS :

- Need to swab several times until all makeup are totally gone.

Overall, I really like this innovation of micellar water from L’oreal Paris since it has two variants and both work so well on my face. However, if I have to pick my favorite, it would be the Pink ( Moisturizing ) one because literally I have dry skin so I really like the soothed, hydrated sensation after cleansing with this micellar water. The gentle formula can completely removes my makeup, even the waterproof one. Fyi, you can find this L’oreal Micellar Water everywhere ( department stores, drugstores, and also E-commerce website ), pretty convenient right ? So, would you like to try this micellar water ? Or have you tried this one before ? If you want to know more about this product, you can check this here.
