Review: Dr Post Snail Collagen Aquaring Gel



Volume: 300ml
Price: RM 16 not including shipping
Availability:  Qoo10.my

Oh my obsession with snail products! I bought this from the same seller that sells Teen's Nature's products, and I have been using this gel for 2 weeks already.
It comes in a yellow tub like Nature Republic's Aloe Vera Gel and there's a plastic lid that separates the content and the cap. No spatula was included but I'm not really picky about dipping my fingers inside the tub so it's fine.
The gel is transparent and absorbs really fast. I have to say I love it because I don't feel sticky afterwards and it doesn't trigger oil production. I slather 2 layers on at night and I don't feel oily the next morning.

 For the price I am paying for this huge tub of 300ml, I feel that it is the best snail gel I have used in terms of function and price.
Let's list down the strong and weak points of all snail gels I have used!
Mizon's Snail Recovery Gel Cream is good and absorbs well, non perfumed but it is 45ml for RM15.
Eanvie's Nature Snail Essence is good, whitens my skin really well in long term, but it doesn't absorb as fast. Perfumed. Great makeup base too. 70ml for RM 14.
Dr Post Snail Collagen Aquaring Gel absorbs fast, doesn't feel sticky. Perfumed. 300ml for RM 16
The good: cheap, big tub, good quality, moisturises, non sticky, non oily

The bad: perfumed

Such a long ingredients list. man, my hands are sore.

I bought this off qoo10 because I wanted to try snail cream as mentioned in my previous posts, also the price was very cheap.

 Seller gave one free sample, pretty nice to use!
 Made on 30th Apr 2013, definitely fresh stock! <3 i="">
Sealed squeeze tube

The parcel arrived in 8 days time and the seller included a free sample as well. The product I received was fresh stock, so I was happy about it. The soft pink colour of the box is just so nice to look at!
This cream is certified by KFDA for its wrinkle care properties. It comes in a small tube. Very easy to carry around too. The squeeze tube is sealed and the product is good for use within 12 months after opening the seal.

The cream, is translucent thick kind of gel. It spreads very easily onto my skin and after a few rubs, it gets absorbed into my skin and leaves no residue. My skin stays very matte throughout the day, because I usually produce some oils on my T-zone after a long day.

Moisturising power wise, it does not give me the plump, moisturised glowy look, buuuuut, my nose also didn't peel even if I use this only in an air conditioned room. Therefore, I deem its moisturising power as GOOD! This is because usually I need to layer on gel cream and cream onto my skin to avoid my nose peeling because of dryness.

The cream smells like wax to me... I didn't really like it but it is good to have no fragrance in the product.

After a week plus of usage, I have noticed much even skin tone and improvement in the texture. I also think that it brightened my skin a bit.

Overall: 4/5
The good: Cheap, hygienic squeeze tube, easy to bring around, doesnt trigger oil production

The bad:
