Awesome review !!! I love the in-depth reporting you do for us to read. I have actually thought of posting to share my favorite products, but I don't think I would do nearly as good and throughout a job as you do in your reviews. So, concerning this BB Cream ... did the line of demarcation change over the hours you kept it on, or did it stay the same? I love BB Creams, and they seem to work much better than conventional foundations. Thanks for the review !!!   |

OK, one more question ... why the name 'Mizon Snail'? Is it just a fun or silly name, or (gulp) .. are there snails in the cream  Now, if there are snails ... gotta ask WHY ??? If you know, that is. They are the one critter I do kill in my garden, even though I'm the type that won't hurt most bugs. It might creep me out just a bit to think of putting snail guts on my face  |

Well, Ginger, the BB cream stayed about the same as the day went on. It sort of lightened a little, but it was still pretty obviously not a good shade for me. "Mizon" is the name of the company and "Snail" means it has extracts of snail mucous in the product. Snail products are meant to improve skin elasticity and is ideal for dry, acne-prone, and/or aging skin. I know it sounds gross. I was a little hesitant at first myself, but I can honestly say my skin hasn't been this good since I was a kid. My skin isn't acne-prone, but it's really super dry and flaky. After using various snail products, no more dry, flaky skin! I even got my sister to try them after hearing all these people suffering from acne and acne cars rave about how snail products helped fix their skin. She has sensitive, acne-prone skin and has really bad acne scars from her teen years. She told me she's seen an improvement in her skin, too, after using them.  |

OK, I'm not quite sure if I liked my supposition that they might be putting snail guts in the cream, or the reality of the added snail ingredient being the slime trail they leave behind.  Unfortunately the rainy climate we live in here just outside Seattle creates the right environment for the shell-less snail .. 'the slug'. Too many times I have started gardening, without getting my trusty gloves first. That slug slime slathered on my hands gets me running to the sink, quickly. I can handle dirt .. but slime, yuk ??? Now, your review sounds so good, with the exception of your color match .. I'm kind of guessing that I would try it. I know, you didn't see that coming from me .. did ya  |

Wow, that's great, Ginger! I love it when I can sway people to try new things!  Other than this BB cream, I've never tried Mizon's cosmetics. I've used their snail skincare line and it's the bomb diggity. Right now I'm using a different snail skincare line from a company called Holika Holika just to see how good it is and I really like it. I even have their snail cleanser, lol! Speaking of which, I don't know what your face is like, but if you have problems with dryness like I do, avoid foaming cleansers as those are meant for oily skin and thus are quite drying. |

Altaira, it did cover my dark circles, but they're so super bad to begin with. I've been using eye creams to lighten them and they're definitely lighter than they used to be. Here's a trick I learned that really does work. It's going to sound weird but I promise you it will work. Take a peach/coral colored lipstick and apply it to your under eye area and that will cancel out the discoloration of the bags when you put concealer or what have you on top. You'll hear a lot of people using red lipstick for the job, but don't do that. Red works on darker complexions and peach/coral is more suited to lighter complexions. I hope this helped! Oh, I'm sorry! Before I totally forget your last question, I got this product from eBay for about $9. |

Oh great advice! I don't have an eBay account so I'll see if I can find it locally. When I look in the mirror all I see is the dark circles. concealer makes them even worse. Between illness and medications they seem to be making a trek across my face. Definitely going to try the lipstick trick. Thank you! |

I think I found it at target but I'm not sure it's the same thing. There's no bb in the name. What's bb stand for? |

You're welcome! BB stands for "blemish balm," though I've also heard it stands for "beauty balm." Basically meaning it's meant to conceal blemishes and uneven skin tone without being heavy like a foundation. |
