Nature Republic Snail Therapy Sheet Mask Review


Price: 14,76$ on Koreadepart for a pack of 5 sheets
(I got mine for free when buying something at the Nature Republic store in Korea)
Amount: 20g of serum per sheet
1.000mg of snail mucus (...yay? o.o)


"Provides moisturizing effect for skin to suppress the skin cells
 Promotes elasticity and creates smooth skin"



Drawings to make sure everyone understands how to use this :P


I hope you can read the ingredients, the picture got kind of blurry T^T Next time I check the photos on my computer before throwing the packaging away.


First, the mask itself:




The mask was of a thicker material than most sheet masks and absorbed the serum really well. There wasn't a single drop of serum left in the packaging, which is great. 
As you can see in the upper picture, it's only the sheet mask itself inside he packaging, there's not plastic sheet to help you unfold the mask without any problems. If you're not careful enough, you might end up ripping the mask if you try to unfold it too quickly.


Now onto the texture of the serum:

That's what I got when squeezing the mask dry after having it on my face for 20 minutes.


If you would ask me to describe the texture in one single word, I would say:
Slimy. 
Really slimy.
It's not that surprising since it contains so much snail slime filtrate but it's such a weird feeling when you have the mask in your hand. You need to get used to it, and if you're like me, you will probably hesitate for a moment before daring to put the mask on your face. It's a huge difference between just knowing that there's snail mucus in a product and feeling that there really is snail mucus in a product.
The good part about this texture though:
It won't drip down your neck. Normally when using sheet masks, I always use a towel to keep my clothes clean. And sometimes, my neck gets more of the serum than my face does. That's not a problem you will get when using this mask ^^


I'm going to split this into  parts, the effects while using it and after using it ^^

While using the sheet mask: First of all, it feels really cooling. Which is nice because it helps to relax while wearing the mask, but bad too...because it's still winter here, and I was freezing xD 
I felt relaxed while wearing this mask ^^
Immediately after using the mask: Sticky. I had to keep my fringe up for almost an hour after using it, because my skin was still sticky. A little bit annoying, but not necessarily a bad thing. I wouldn't use this mask on a day on which you're planning to use make-up and go out though ^^ And not directly before going to bed as well, just use it at least 1-2 hours before going to sleep.
The day after using it: So much love for this mask. My pimples were less angry (aka red), my skin felt really soft and so~ moisturized that it almost looked oily :D This probably doesn't sound like something positive, but if you always had dry skin like me you'll find that a nice surprise when your skin is suddenly slightly shiny ^^ And the results were visible for 2-3 days :D

5/5 Stars.

It does everything it promises it does, and since I got it for free I definitely won't complain about the price ^^
Everything's perfect :D
I would only recommend to buy it for people with really dry skin, otherwise it's a little expensive.
