Caution:
My experience with the product:
Packaging: Iunik black snail restore serum comes in a bulky glass bottle with a glass dropper packaging. The packaging looks pretty but isn't travel friendly and has to be handled with care, as there are chances of it slipping out of hand. It comes in a 50ml bottle, it lasts for a longer time if used once a day.

Colour and texture: The serum is transparent and has slimy and a bit thick texture, but gets absorbed into the skin really well ang quick.

Fragrance: The serum is fragrance free and has no fragrance at all. There is no added fragrance and not even fragrance of natural ingredients.
Who is this for? For someone worried that you look older than you age, and worried about dull skin and blemishes. And those who looking for something that makes their skin elastic and smooth. This serum is for people with all skin types and looking for something simple and nourishing for their skin.
First impression: I loved the packaging and texture the first time I saw and touched. Felt really gentle and calming on the skin. Never caused any kind of irritation or breakouts on my sensitive acne prone skin.
How long I have been using it? I have been using it for more than 3 months now. I began with using it twice a day, especially when my skin felt dehydrated during the winters. Currently I like to use it only at the night time because it could feel heavy in the day time because of humid weather (summer). However, people with dry skin types can use it in the day time as well.
How I like to use it? I like to use it as the 3rd or 4th step of my night skincare routine depending on how my skin feels. I like to cleanse my skin, use a toner, essence and follow it up with the black snail restore serum or maybe skip the essence part. I love to use it serum especially when i use the chemical exfoliation as it nourishes and calms the irritated, red and sensitive skin.
Effects on my skin: This serum has definitely helped strengthen the skin barrier. It works wonders on the damaged skin barrier and calms the irritated skin, the credit goes to the centella extracts present in the serum along with black snail mucin extract with rich nutrition. It also calms and soothes the sun burns and sensitized skin due to over exfoliation. I cant comment on the anti aging part yet, maybe the consistent usage would facilitate the anti aging benefits. This serum also adds healthy glow to the skin with consistent usage for about a month. This serum definitely improves the skin health in general and also if you have a compromised skin barrier, this serum is for you.
