Neogen Cica Repair Snail Cream is a moisturizer boasting 88% Snail Secretion Filtrate, 2% Niacinamide, and Centella Asiatica Extract. It’s free of drying alcohols and has a candy-like, raspberry scent.
(Consistency)
It has cream in its name but its texture is a hybrid gel-lotion. It’s lightweight, feels soft and smooth when rubbed between fingers, and thankfully not slimy. It has just a teensy amount of slime.
(Application)
It glides easily on skin but takes a few minutes longer to get absorbed compared to other gel-lotions.
(Finish)
It has a natural finish, neither matte nor glowy. It doesn’t turn greasy on my oily skin.
(Effects)
It’s both hydrating and moisturizing which all skin types would like. It makes skin look plump and healthy, and these effects last. I don’t feel the need to mist or moisturize near the end of the day.
The moisturizer contains a bunch of soothing ingredients and is cool to the touch. I have not experienced irritation nor breakouts. I’m on my second jar and will definitely buy again!
For reference, I have oily skin, not sensitive to alcohol and fragrances, and use tretinoin.
