Today I'm going to be talking about some skincare from the brand Swanicoco! Of course this skincare was provided for review by Swanicoco, and this brand is known for it's natural skincare.
Fermentation Snail Care Skin Toner
"Cleans off the remnants left over after washing face and keeps the face alive and moisturized."(1)
The Fermentation Snail Care line comes packaged in lovely glass bottles with natural green labeling. They have pump tops to hygienically disperse the product which is my preference.
The toner has a cloudy colour and has a very thin gel like texture. Like most of the range, it has a soapy rose scent which I quite like, I can smell it while I apply it, but it doesn't linger for too long. I find this toner hydrates my skin nicely and is really pleasant to use. It's not too heavy, so is perfect for the warm summer weather I have right now. I really enjoy this toner.
Multi Solution Triple V Ampoule
"Provides moisture and increases elasticity for your skin."(2) - $75
This ampoule has bright orange glass packaging, and a really long dropper applicator. I use this ampoule after the toner, because it has the thinnest texture out of the ampoules. There is no colour, and very little scent to this product.
This was quite an underwhelming product for me as I have to use quite a lot of the product to cover my face and it doesn't seem to do much. It's pretty hard to measure the elasticity in your skin, but my skin doesn't feel as bouncy when I don't use this product. I don't rely on it for moisture at all since the rest of the routine covers the moisturizing quite well, but it does have a place in my routine!
Intensive Snail Moisture Care Ampoule
"Provides moisturizing care by snail slime and protects and soothes your skin from environmental damage"(3) - $60
This ampoule comes in a tiny bottle with a dropper top. It has a gel like texture, and is a little bit slippery in it's texture which isn't surprising since it contains 70% snail extract.
This ampoule contains a powerful snail punch of moisture and makes my skin feel super soft and supple. It absorbs pretty quickly which means my face doesn't stay feeling like it's covered in slime which is great. This one is pricey considering it's size, but it is 70% slime, so it's pretty powerful.
Fermentation Snail Care Emulsion
"Turns dull and rough skin into dewy and bright skin by leaving skin moisturized."(4) - $27
This emulsion has the same packaging as the toner, and contains 5% snail secretion. It has a thin cream like texture and the same soapy rose scent.
This emulsion provides a little bit of hydration to my skin and I'm currently using it as my moisturiser during the day time since it is summer and heavy moisturisers make me look sweaty. I also use this at night before I use my night time moisturiser and it layers beautifully. It doesn't take too long to absorb, so it makes my routine a nice length.
Flower Silk Cream
"Protects and soothes your skin from environmental damage, and offers deep hydration."(5) - $52
The Flower Silk Cream comes packaged in a long elegant tube which is a little hard to store as it topples over easily. This has the same rose scent, and has a thin gel like texture. This is quite interesting because it is quite stringy too, watch the Youtube video to see what I mean!
This cream does leave my skin looking quite shiny, but it does die down after about an hour, or if I apply a matte sunscreen during the day. This cream makes my skin feel so beautiful and soft, but it also breaks me out. I suspect that it is the yeast ferment since my skin was sensitive to the Cosrx Galactomyces too which is such a pity since this cream is seriously luxurious!
2GF Bio Mix Mask Pack
"Brightening and Lifting effect. Offers deep hydration and nutrients to your skin."(6) - $8
This mask has three parts, the backing, the gel mask, and then a woven front. To apply, take off the plastic backing, apply the gel part to your skin, then peel off the woven front! This stops the mask from tearing while you apply it. The fit of this mask is ok, it clings really nicely to my skin which helps a lot, but it's not shaped well for the western face (my face is too wide and my nose it too big haha) so I did have to cut the nose section out like I do for literally all of my masks. There was a little excess around the sides of my face, but that is no big deal.
After using the mask for 30mins, when I took it off there was almost no residue on my skin, and my skin felt a lot more supple and bouncy. I didn't notice much extra hydration, but my routine is very hydrating already.
Super Natural Hydrogel Brightening Mask
"Brightening and Lifting effect. Offers deep hydration and nutrients to your skin."(7)- $7
The natural hydrogel mask is a two piece mask that is clear in colour. I found this one a little hard to apply as both times the hydrogel has slipped off the plastic backing and I ended up tearing the mask a little.
Once this mask was settled on my skin it didn't slip and slide around which was great. I left it on for 30 minutes each time and found that it brightened my skin beautifully without leaving too much residue on the skin. I didn't find it very hydrating, but it's very brightening!
What I Love
- Beautiful, functional packaging - Products offer beautiful hydration and skincare benefits - Beautiful rose scent through some products, no scent through others
What I Don't Love
- Flower Cream breaks my skin out - Some products are quite expensive
Final Thoughts
I really enjoyed using these products from Swanicoco! They make my skin feel really soft and beautiful, and aside from the Flower Cream, they don't break my skin out at all. Some of the products are quite expensive, but some of them are pretty cheap so there is a big price jump. If you're a little uncertain, I highly recommend starting off with the Toner and the Emulsion since they're priced really well, and then adding some of the more expensive products in later if you feel like you need them. For me personally, I actually wish that Swanicoco provided a little more information in English, but they are expanding more which is of course why they sent me some products to review, so hopefully their products are going to be easier to buy soon too!
