This is a lightweight moisturizer that has mainly snail extract in it. It has a gel consistency and can be a good base for makeup due to it having dimethicone. Decent for daytime during the Summer but may not be enough as a single moisturizer. As far as the snail benefits go, there are better products but this is a good, inexpensive option, it has helped soothe some irritation and reduce inflamation of acne. Recommended and worth a try for the price.
