| Bio-Essence Bio Energy Snail Repair & Smooth Cream |
This is my current night cream. I've been using it for months now. The reason I bought this is because I have a lot of pimple scars, which takes forever to disappear! And I'm getting old, my skin renewal is getting slow. So, extra assistance is necessary.
Recently, the snail slime trend has been one of the big hits in the beauty industry. I'm sure all you realized that. The cream is infused with snail slime. Some people get disgusted by the thought of it but I'm pretty sure that the slime are filtered and processed before it's put into the tub.
这就是我现在用着的晚霜。已经用了几个月了。我脸上有很多痘痘疤。随着年纪的增长，皮肤的代谢能力也渐渐放慢，所以疤痕需要更久的时间才能淡化。我也因此买了Bio-essence的Snail Repair & Smooth Cream来帮助修复皮肤。
蜗牛霜是近年来美容市场上的大热门之一，相信大家也有留意到。他们是在产品里加入了蜗牛分泌出来的粘液。很多人听了都觉得很恶心，可是我很肯定那些粘液是有被过滤和处理过才送入包装的。
And don't worry, no snail is killed or harmed in the process of extracting the slime. Naturally, snail slime is produced to protect itself from rough surfaces and it also heal their wounds and cracks on their shells. Snail slim is a mixture of protein (collagen), glycolic acid (eliminates dead cells) and elastin (for elasticity). It is rich in regenerative properties and it also contains super moisturizing components like hyaluronic acids. Hence, products like the Bio-essence Snail Repair & Smooth Cream is specially formulated to treat acne and scarring. It repairs damaged skin and promotes new cell, which then lightens scars and marks. At the same time, it also moisture and nourishes the skin to keep the skin supply and elastic (means no gigantic pores and fine lines). This is the highway to flawless, smooth, bouncy skin. Hell ya!! The slime also has anti-bacteria and antibiotics which helps in acne prevention. Apart from the snail slime, this cream is also rich in anti-oxidant, Vitamin C and other goodness from extracts of angelica, wolfberry fruit, grapefruit and ginseng. How much benefit can one product give?! This is like a super cream!
在制造过程当中，没有任何蜗牛被伤害会被杀害，所以大家也不需要担心。蜗牛本身所产生的粘液是用来保护自己，在滑过粗糙表面时不会被割伤，也是用来治愈伤口。蜗牛的粘液是混合了蛋白质（原胶蛋白），乙醇酸（去死皮）和弹性多肽。它有非常高的再生性质和超级保湿成分如：波尿酸。因此，所有蜗牛霜的配方是针对痘痘肌和疤痕的绝对良方。它能修复损毁和焕新肌肤，使疤痕渐渐消失。同时它也给皮肤补充水分和养分，帮助皮肤恢复弹性。这也确保毛孔和细纹远离你。完美无瑕的脸孔就可轻易地达到！ 蜗牛粘液里也含有防菌和天然抗生素，可预防痘痘的滋长。除此之外，他们也在产品里加入了当归、枸杞子、葡萄柚和人参。这些原料都有大量的抗氧素和维他命Ｃ。这产品真的超多好处的！简直是超级护肤霜！

Now, probably you are wondering how they extract the slime like me. I google-d it up and found that they are first placed under "safe mechanical stress" condition to stimulate secretion then they are cleansed and return to their breeding place. Specific species, size and weight of snail is picked to ensure quality of product. Some Korean brands like Missha even fed their snails with red ginseng to enhance the benefit of the slime.
大家应该都都很好奇他们是怎样提炼出那些粘液的吧？我也是。在网上查询了之后才发觉他们是利用人造应力刺激蜗牛的分泌。然后将他们清洗干净，再放回他们的繁殖地。为了确保素质，他们都会挑选制定的品种、大小和重量。来自韩国的Missha更为了提高粘液的益处，而喂蜗牛们吃红参，厉害吧？！
Now back to the product, the cream don't really have a thick, creamy consistency. It's more like a gel type and it's quite watery. It should not be called as a cream. It glides smoothly onto my skin and my skin absorbs it like a sponge. The watery consistency definitely help with the absorption. On the skin, it transforms into a smooth-gelatin like layer and it's not sticky. I like to use it at night because I feel that the effect is better.
说回我们今天的主角，这护肤膏不会很厚重，也不像普通膏状物。它的质感偏向凝胶，水水的。 其实也不应该称为护肤膏。 这产品涂在皮肤上滑滑的，而且因为它是水质的，皮肤也吸收得很快。在皮肤上，它好像形成了一层滑滑的凝胶，一点也不粘。我喜欢当晚霜用，因为觉得效果比较好。
The packaging looks very elegant with the pale gold color and the glass gives it a very classy feeling. It comes with a tin foil seal to prevent the product from spilling off. I just peel it all off. The tub is very heavy so it's not good for travelling. Then again this is not the kind of product that you bring it along with you everywhere u go.
The product is priced at RM 99.90/50ml. I got mine at Watsons. Besides this cream, they also have a serum which gives the same benefit. Serum are more intense so I believe it will give a stronger result. I think I should get that next and I can incorporate it into my day time routine as well. You should give it a try too!
他们在包装上也花了不少心思。整个包装以浅金色为主，看起来很高雅。他们也选用了玻璃罐，而不是塑料罐，更使包装增添了不少贵气。罐口上还加了一层锡纸，以防产品漏出。可是，玻璃罐有一个坏处，就是它很重，很不方便携带。不过，其实这种护肤品也不须随身带着。
此产品售价是 RM 99.90/50ml。 我是从Watsons买的。除了这款护肤膏以外，他们也推出了同系列的精华液。精华液的成分比较浓缩，我相信效果会比较明显。我的下一个目标应该是它了。 你也因该试一试！
