My Honest Review of the Consly Black Snail & 24K Gold All-In-One Ampoule

Hello everyone!

Beware, I got a fake Consly Black Snail & 24K Gold Serum from OZON. Someone got lucky, but unfortunately, it didn't work for my skin...

Finding good skincare seems to be a never-ending quest for us girls.

Today, I'm going to share my thoughts on the Consly Black Snail & 24K Gold All-In-One Ampoule.

I decided to try another serum from Consly, this time with snail mucin and 24-karat gold.

Earlier, I tried the Consly Cica & Aloe All-In-One Ampoule.

I didn't have any expectations from the 250ml serum, so even a bit of moisturizing and soothing would be a pleasant surprise.

Where to Buy?

You can find this serum from Consly on any marketplace:

OZON, Yandex Market, Kazan Express, WB, Sbermegamarket.

I bought it at the retail store L'eau Par Kohler.

What's the Price?

OZON (seller: Korean Beauty) = 718r (I got it with points for 618 rubles);

ORIGINAL, I bought it at L'eau Par Kohler for 1000r Yandex Market = 897 rubles;

.

WB = 1 248 rubles;

Kazan Express = 1 930 rubles;

Sbermegamarket = no available.

A Small Aside:

!!! MAIN POINT: Be aware of fakes, carefully read comments, reviews, and the seller's rating, and inspect the product upon delivery (if you have any doubts, return it immediately).

It's better to return and avoid the consequences than to deal with the aftermath, like I did with the Graymelin Serum and the Real Skin Serum with Bamboo.

Now, let's move on to the original serum I bought from L'eau Par Kohler.

PACKAGING.

The packaging, just like the serum with centella and aloe, has a pleasant brown color (not too light, not too dark).

I've got to say, I love how many skincare brands - especially Korean ones - use different colored packaging for their products. For example, the centella and aloe serum has a green packaging, the snail mucin and 24K Gold Serum has a brown one, and the hyaluronic acid serum has a blue one. It's so convenient!

When I went to the store, I saw the product I was looking for with the right colored packaging and I just grabbed it - no need to stand there and read the packaging to figure out the name, ingredients, etc.

Just like the Consly Cica & Aloe Serum, this product also comes with a scoop for applying the product from the bottle.

However, I still like to portion out the amount I need for a few days and store it in a separate container - it's just more convenient for me (I still use the scoop, though).

Manufacturing date and expiration date on the product packagingIt's convenient that the expiration date is duplicated on both the packaging and the bottle.

Manufacturer's Claims:

The manufacturer on the packaging (and the seller in the description) writes that this is an all-in-one ampoule serum - if I'm translating it literally from English, the manufacturer guarantees that this serum is at least 3-in-1:

- toner;

- essence;

- serum.

I'm not going to comment on the ampoule size of 250ml - I think everyone understands that a concentrated product (ampoule) can't be 250ml. You can't collect that much snail mucin to put it in each bottle. Poor snails will die producing that much mucin.

The manufacturer promises that the serum will give us intense nourishment, stimulation of skin regeneration, and wrinkle reduction.

That's exactly what I need! Yes, I'm 24 and I have a lot of fine lines on my face. I often face-palm...

Ingredients:

The ingredients list is quite promising - here's a mix of spirit, glycerin, hyaluronic acid (which I'm not a fan of - I'll explain my dislike in the next part), snail mucin, centella asiatica (nice to see it here), a decent amount of stabilizers and thickeners, and some more spirit.

I'm literally crossing my fingers that my face doesn't fall off (I'm holding my breath and crossing my fingers)

How to Use:

Take a small amount of serum and apply it with massaging motions. Use it in the morning and evening on a clean face.

The consistency is liquid, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave any residue.

Pros and Cons:

I'd say the original packaging is a plus for me, as it's genuine, no water spots, no laundry detergent smell, the serum itself doesn't hit my senses, and it's barely noticeable.

I also appreciate that it absorbs quickly, doesn't leave any residue, and makes my face feel soft right away.

It provides minimal moisturization.

+

- It's super watery (I thought a mucin-based serum would be thicker, considering the mucin in the ingredients);

- Besides minimal moisturization, it doesn't do much for my skin.

- The ingredients

Unfortunately, my face didn't turn to gold (not literally, not figuratively...)

My Verdict:

Be cautious and vigilant when buying skincare products, especially Korean ones, from marketplaces or regular stores - you're never guaranteed against counterfeits, and even if it doesn't affect your skin negatively, there's a high chance of adverse reactions.

I'm not super impressed with the serum, but I suppose it's time to accept that a 250ml serum can't do much beyond providing light moisturization.

If you take that into consideration, the serum works okay.

My rating: 3/5
