Nature Republic Snail Therapy 80 Ampoule

Snail Extract or Barbaria Snail Extract, from Nature Republic. Listed as the 2nd top seller in Nature Republic, it was tempting to try this product out but it took a bit of apprehension and evaluation of karma before buying this bottle. I was thinking, "Did these snails die for me?" and straight away it led to me thinking about my childhood days, seeing how my friends stepped on the snails and squished their lives away. The second thought that quickly came to mind was, "Does it really work?".

 After a phase of snake (Sy-nake) venom in Korean beauty products... snails, a lot less fierce and a lot more beneficial to skin, has taken over Korea by storm. Well, for most of the snail products that you can find in Korea at this moment, the numbers that you see represents the percentage or content (mg) of snail extract in the bottle. For example, this Ampoule contains 80 percent snail extract. It's pretty potent and the effects are wonderful.

Snail extract is perfect for acne prone skin, brightening, lifting, anti-aging and intense hydration. 
Use after Booster and Toner. It comes with a dropper dispenser, to make sure that no drop is wasted!

As you would expect, the texture of the Ampoule is a little bit sticky at first glance,  is thicker than most serums. After application there is absolutely nothing sticky about the texture and the after feeling. I loved how it melted into my skin! Just like most serums out there, skin feels plump, hydrated and smooth after application.

Snail products are touted as having regenerative and revitalizing qualities. For me, this ampoule was moisturizing and I did see a little fading of my older acne scars, which was a similar effect from the Snail Therapy 70 Cream, but nothing spectacular, especially for newer/fresher scars. I quite like the hydration effect as my skin feels plump and well-hydrated when I’m using this, without being too rich or oily.
