Hello people! I came here today to share my thoughts about this product from The Skin House. The Skin House is a Korean brand founded in 1979. I got the opportunity to try one of their skincare line, Vita Snail Line.
Anyway, this is my first English review in this blog. I usually wrote in the Indonesian Language. Since I want this product to be known more, I decided to write in English. I hope this review can be useful for everyone around the world.
In this post, I will talk about The Skin House Vita Snail First Essence. This is one of the three products I tried from the Vita Snail Line. Let's head out to the review!
First of all, I want to talk about the ingredients. It contains 95% snail secretion filtrate and some vitamins. Also, this first essence has bergamot fruit oil giving it a soft citrus smell. I'll add the ingredients list down below.

When I heard a product called the first essence, it usually will be watery. Just hydrating enough to prep the skin. Well, this one is different! Still, the texture is very watery and but turns out it is very hydrating. It can cover both toner and essence, such a perfect thing for me.
I use this first essence right after cleansing. I love applying it directly with my palm. Sometimes when I need it, I soaked a cotton pad with this product and let them sit on my face like a sheet mask for 5-10 minutes. Instant plumpy skin is coming!
Since it has antioxidant and soothing ingredients, I do feel my skin became way healthier. I can see my face slightly brighter than before. Not a big change but I can see it enough.
When I use this in the morning combined with my sunscreen, it's a perfect match made in heaven. I also use this with my brightening powder mask to boost the antioxidant. This first essence is worth trying especially when you have dehydrated skin.
Sadly, this product isn't available in Indonesia yet. You can find them on Amazon, Yes Style, iHerb, or another e-commerce. I see the price on Yes Style the other day, it's around $17. I also think that's a good price for a product like this.
