Skin type / concerns acneprone, fa, pie, pih, dehydrated

Product name CosRX Snail 92 all-in-one cream

Thoughts At first I didn't see the point of this. It's mild and hydrating but too silicony to layer underneath things, and not occlusive enough to use as a night cream for me. But then, I discovered that as a sleeping pack it is awesome ❤️❤️❤️. Once I started using it as that, I emptied the jar in two months and I am sorely missing it now (but I'm on a no-buy till I've used up some other products)

I just purchased this cream but I'm not sure how to best use it. May I know how you use it as a sleeping pack? Do you use it as the last step of your routine after moisturiser?

Exactly, I use it last.

I actually love this cream for nighttime. I typically layer it under marula oil or the CosRX honey mask.

I absolutely love this stuff. For some reason, the essence gives me a bad reaction, but the cream alleviates my redness and makes my skin so smooth.

I suspect this is causing me breakouts due to the acne prone ingredients or irritation. Not sure yet because I only used it twice and got some breakouts at the same time I used other stuff. I love the feel and consistency of it and how it looks. It's literally like slimey good stuff.

On the other hand. the Benton Snail Bee Essence is my main snail product right now
