I bought this because I read that snail essence was pretty good for damaged skin (which I had). I've been using this every night after washing my face for the past two or three months and I can say that it definitely has improved my skin quality notably in terms of toning down the redness. The packaging is clean and elegant; the pump is efficient and allows you to control very well how much essence you want dispensed. The product itself is translucent and on the watery side - definitely not slimy. It slides on your face smoothly and pats in quite well. Overall I would definitely repurchase!
