I’m so excited to be able to share this review of Mizon All In One Snail Repair Cream with everyone here. I have been using this for a few weeks now since I bought it.
You might be thinking, snail?!! eww. I don’t blame you. This was pretty much my reaction at first but all of that changed once you read what this cream can do for you. And guaranteed, it doesn’t smell yucky.
PACKAGING
I love the two-toned effect of this glass packaging, it gives off that old school effect. It looks and feel sturdy so I have a feeling that it won’t just shatter into pieces if you drop it, just don’t try it!
QUANTITY & PRICE
I wanted to try out this cream, so I was lucky enough to get a hold of this as part of a set, since it worked out a lot cheaper! The set consisting of the Snail Eye Cream, Snail BB Cream, and All In One Snail Repair Cream, costs me $55!
I really thought this was a fantastic bargain for three full-sized products. And finding an ingredient (snail mucin) in a product which has been used by our ancestors (proven to work), I always keep an open-mind and feel hopeful about it. Same thing goes for this cream.
Here are the ingredients I managed to capture with my camera phone. I hope they’re visible enough.
First Impressions of Mizon All In One Snail Repair Cream
- The dipping part.
Seriously I am not a fan of this at all, and it’s not only because it’s not hygienic, it’s also because of convenience. Plus if you have long nails, can you imagine the cream getting stuck under your nails every single time you slather yourself?
That being said, I do keep my nails very short. If you have a spatula — and one blog I came across a while ago suggested a (stainless steel) teaspoon — which is supposed to be more hygienic than a plastic-made spatula, you’re good to go.
So, it’s either you use the above options to get the cream out, or jus tip the whole jar on your clean palm (meticulously).
Excuse how the jar’s edges look so messy, was just using it and due to be cleaned.
- First application
Honestly, it was the smoothest application the very first time. The cream did not have any overpowering smell but perhaps my skin was adapting to the ingredients for the first time, I woke up with a rather oily skin the next morning after I applied this at night. Luckily, I didn’t break out on this occasion and the oiliness pretty much went away after few more usage.
This cream is very rich and packed with moisture, but absorbs almost instantly once applied. You might feel your skin feeling tight at first and during harsh weather conditions, like winter, you might need extra layer of cream to keep your skin moisturizer.
With and without camera flash
- Good points
This cream has a cooling effect, which is a nice treat for flared up, troubled skin. With no lingering smell, it’s always a bonus.
- Spot zapper!
During the days when I wasn’t able to keep up with my beauty routine, my skin really suffered. And excuse the horrible pic!
(taken May 2, 2012)
And….. Mizon Snail Repair Cream, to the rescue! As soon as I started applying it on my skin (first thing in the morning and before bedtime) just after a day (!), the spots vanished. It looked like they withered and just died! Wow!
I was so amazed, because normally before, I would have to endure the breakouts for a few more days even with Proactiv (bought from UK branch), which is considered to be a baddie against spots and acne issues. But Mizon Snail Cream knocked them out in just a day?!
Please do have a look at the ingredients, which I am hoping would be visible enough for you to see if you zoom the pic. This has parabens in it, among other things. So if you’re trying to avoid this type of ingredients since it might irritate your skin, perhaps this cream isn’t for you.
Mind you, I’m sure you won’t have issues finding ‘the snail cream’ for you as there are so many in the market right now.
If you want to check this cream out, feel free to vist mizoncorp on Ebay. If you’re worried about the shipping cost, you can always drop them an email to enquire about combined postage if you’re buying more. I did, and it was definitely worth asking.
Have you tried any of the snail creams these days? Or would you care to give them a go?

I already plan to buy this cream but unfortunately it was out of stock at the moment. Your review add a bonus to my buying decision.
Hi there! I am glad this post has somewhat helped you more in purchasing this product. I hope it gives you good results! Thanks for your comment!
thanks for the review! just ordered mine. i wanted to add that i had eczema too as a child (it was horrible). and you may kno all about it, but ive had the skin disease for a lengthy period and wanted to give u some tips. you probably know the basiacs like 100% cotton sheets/clothes, no kind of cream (even tropical creams) can heal eczema,, suprisingly its internal) and etc. what healed me was not consuming the foods that trigerred the reactions, and detoxing. youre baby’s probably too young for this tho. as u may kno eczema’s linked to the immune system and scratching is the result of the allergic reaction. so i cut off all foods like dairy products(or anything with diary), citrus fruits(even strawberries), chocolate, meat (although once in a while is healthy, but stick with white meat), sugar(no junk food at all
…), and i stuck with salads, smoothies (healthy and detoxes my body, but noncitrus fruits), rice with vegetable side dishes, fish, and soup. eventually my eczema faded and i was able to eat other foods, but even till this day i have to be careful of what i eat. like i still dont eat dairy (no milk… but since ur son so young, you should wait), chocolate, etc. but now i can consume more types of food (like eatin a bag of chips bout 3 times a week is fine). from my experience, tropical/chemical creams work only temprary and once my skin got immune to them. my doc wud prescribe stronger creams, and it goes on until no cream can actually heal you… try healing naturally and internally, but if its minor eczema then creams should do it. mine was major so creams didnt cut it for me (its also not really healthy to apply such strong creams daily) yeah just wanted to add my 2 cents cuz i kno how hard it is. if you have any questions feel free to email me.
Wow, thanks for these amazing tips. It was indeed very hard for us when he first had it since I wasn’t sure with all the creams that the doctor prescribed us and I was still skeptical about hydrocortisone and the effect it might have on him. Luckily, the worst part of it seemed to have passed already. I’ve just been very careful with what he eats now and also just started introducing cow’s milk (along with breast milk still) at 10 months only at meal times or in the morning. I was happy that he didn’t any reaction of this when first tried. As for me, I only seem to get eczema during the summer months, over the winter or when the weather gets a little bit cooler, I don’t seem to get it or they seem to have calmed down. You’re right about the creams as well, you seem to get immune to it because at one point this happened to me and I had to ask for a stronger one since the older one I had, wasn’t working anymore. Eating healthy foods and avoiding the ones that could trigger it seem a really good idea. I don’t eat a lot of seafood and I tend to go easy on eggs and chicken as well! I used to get a really bad reaction (like swollen face and fingers etc) when I was very young if I would eat them. Thank you and I am glad things are much better with you now. Really appreciate your tips here. Hope you get on well with the snail cream too
wow how weird! But I guess it does seem really nice! x
ha ha. You should give it a try. If I get more samples from them, I might send you some.
We’ll see.
Glad to hear
The skin often lives its own life. Sometimes it´s hard to find the right products to treat different issues.
I definitely agreed to that. So hard to find the right ones and you end up wasting money on ones that just don’t work. I was skeptical about this at first, since nowadays a lot would claim they work wonders but once you’re using it, well, they don’t seem to live up to their claims. Glad this one worked for me.
I know! There are products that promises to perform miracles – with your skin. Then fail to live up to those promises. Even dermatologists sometimes fail in regards of advising. So that´s good that you found a product that works for you.
Hi AJ’s mum, I’m interested in this snail cream, especially its effect on pimples. Does it still continue to work as well, now that you’ve used it for some months? I have oily, acne prone (easily clogged) skin that’s slightly sensitive. TIA.
Hello there! Thanks for dropping by. This snail cream really did help with my spots before, just like the picture shown, and I probably used it for a few months until I switched to a new one – Elisha Coy Snail Cream. To be honest, I don’t get that many spots anymore since I started using Korean products! I, too, am acne prone, combo skin and very sensitive. Whenever, I would notice a bump or spots just brewing on my face, I’d apply the snail cream and that would do the job! The difference between Mizon & Elisha brand is that, when I first applied the Elisha Coy, I didn’t have the tingling sensation nor oiliness in the morning, my skin just felt fine and soft, although Mizon did have that tingling sensation at first, and made my skin a little bit dry then oily later, but no breakouts. Hope that helps!

Great review!!!!
Thank you! xx
Yes, I already using this products and have break out.
And did you stop using for a while or just use it?
Thanks
This gave me an irritation after 3 months of using or something like that, it was very strange to say the least, but I had to stop it since it was bothering me. Too bad this didn’t work for you as well. :-s
