[Cosmetic Review] Like a Thread Unwinding... Moisture Fully Charged Military Cosmetic 'Dalpaeng Cream'

Contains 20% Concentrated Snail Mucin Filtrate
Stretches Like Yarn... Moisturizing, Wrinkle Improvement, Lifting
Contains Pearl Powder... Also Cares for Spots and Blemishes

When I placed a snail I raised at home as a child on my hand, the sticky mucus left behind by the snail made my dry hand moist. Recently, a cosmetic containing 20% of this snail mucus filtrate earned the nickname "military cosmetic" and stirred up online communities for a while.

Dr.G's "Black Snail Cream" from Gounsesang Cosmetic has been sold at military PX stores since 2018 at prices cheaper than the market price, becoming the top-selling product within PX as soldiers bought it to gift to their girlfriends or mothers. Although it was withdrawn from military PX stores around the end of last year due to excessive discount rates, this cream, which can be purchased online, still enjoys great popularity, having surpassed 28 million units in cumulative sales thanks to its rich texture.

The cream's representative feature is its thick, sticky texture that stretches like a thread. When it touches the skin, it feels slippery and shows excellent adhesion with ultra-close contact, and it also has good absorption.

Because of its sticky viscosity, it might seem slippery and shiny, but once applied to the skin, the stickiness disappears and the skin surface becomes matte. At the same time, it replenishes oil and smooths out wrinkled areas, providing not only moisturizing but also wrinkle-improving effects.

Thanks to its stretchy viscosity, it also gives a feeling of lifting sagging facial lines. This explains why it is described as an anti-aging total care product that provides a lifting effect.

After the product is fully absorbed into the face, it leaves a subtle glow, which is due to the inclusion of pearl powder. This is not the commonly referred to shine but a literally smooth-looking luster.

Of course, because it is a somewhat heavy texture rather than a light one, it may feel suffocating for oily skin or during hot and sweaty summer days. However, in cold and dry winter weather like now, it seems to be the best basic cosmetic for consumers with dry skin to recharge moisture.
