I have been testing this duo from Coxir the Black Snail Collagen toner and emulsion, for about a week and it has made some great first impressions. As you guessed it both have some similar key ingredients, both have snail mucin and collage, as for the toner it has black beans and the emulsion, black sesame, and adenosine.
First let’s start with the toner which has a watery texture with snail and collagen to help protect the skin barrier from drying more. I did notice that it wasn’t sticky which tends to happen with products that contain snail mucin. I will say that the scent is a bit strong, is floral and it reminds me of a perfume I used to use when I was very young, is literally violet flowers. The emulsion has a light gel like texture, absorbs fast leaving the skin feeling hydrated and dewy without the shine. The scent, for me, is the same issue as the toner, strong! My husband tried it and it reminded him on cucumbers, floral and cucumbers, very strong. I will point out that I detect an after smell that I do not like, I can’t describe it, but is unpleasant to me, but luckily it fades rather quickly.
Aside from the scents and after smell, this is a line of products that I’m excited to keep using. My skin feels hydrated, no visible rough spots or tight feeling during the day or night. The dewy look from the products is a nice glow of healthy, hydrated skin, instead of a ball of greasiness, which is what I used to look like with other products. Overall, it did nourish my skin, looks soft to the touch, healthy glow and I can’t wait to finish it and try other products from this brand.
