I don’t like the lid of the Black Snail Collagen Cream as it’s quite difficult to lift the lid up the proper way. I always have to open it by trying to pry it open on the sides with my nails as the texture of the cream is slimy. Very gooey. Has that stringy texture. It can be quite ‘messy’ when you’re trying to get it out of the tub. Otherwise, I have nothing much to complain about.

I appreciate that this comes with a plastic spatula. It’s nourishing actually and doesn’t leave my face feeling like I put something heavy on and I am someone with oily skin. It absorbs into my skin pretty fast and doesn’t leave my face feeling sticky. I tried with and without serum on a couple of days and it still nourishes my skin. Even on days I applied a salicylic acid serum or retinol. ✨


Nothing particularly bad for me but if you use this as an emulsion and if your skin is on the drier side, you will have to apply cream on top of it as I don’t think it will be moisturising enough for drier skin type.

I like that the packaging is simple and has that minimalist look to it. Lightweight and easy to spread. It doesn’t irritate my eyes. Some eye cream gets a bit oily that it irritate my eyes but this doesn’t and doesn’t dry my under eye area too. You can even use it as an emulsion all over your face and neck!

Might not provide high coverage. Light to medium coverage but it’s buildable. Not really smudgeproof. However, it stays on face even after 12 hours. If you’re expecting flawless poreless look then this is not it. 

Semi-matte and lightweight. Easy to apply and easy to carry around. Those who like that sort of no makeup look might consider this as it gives off a natural look. Doesn’t make my skin look cakey.

Has a light scent but not overpowering or anything so if you like your product unscented, take note. 

I use this emulsion without using a moisturiser cream after on most days and I’m impressed that it keeps my skin hydrated. I use a cream after on some days if I feel the need to or simply needed more boost of hydration. It is lightweight and easy to spread.

Comes in a form of 100ml. It contains highly concentrated hyaluronic acid, aloe vera extract and plant extract. Ingredients that soothe the skin. Doesn’t irritate the skin. That’s a plus for me!

I’ve used other emulsions before and I always have to follow up with a cream or else an hour or so my skin gets ‘thirsty’ but with this, I can skip the cream part most days. To be honest, I thought this emulsion will be like the other emulsions I have used before but I was wrong! This is probably the best one I have ever used.

Takes a while to absorb when applied to my face. If you are not a fan of waiting for a couple of minutes or more before applying sunscreen then you might not be a fan of it. Skin might feel a bit oily on the surface and feels a bit sticky to touch after sometime (around 5-6 hours) but doesn’t make the face look super shiny though. Overall decent but not my go-to. I see that people with dry skin love this so if your skin is on the dry side it may work for you.

Feels light on the skin. Easy to spread. Decent moisturiser. If you’re a fan of looking matte but not dry, this is it. I feel once fully absorbed it dries down to a matte sort of finish (at least for me I felt that way).
