Review
I find the packaging of this product very interesting because it resembles a contact lens solution (or dog ear cleaner hahah). This toner is completely fragrance-free and odorless. It has a slightly runny/slimy texture but refreshing to apply to the face. It takes very little time to be absorbed into the skin.
The after-touch is a tiny bit sticky but that doesn’t last long. Within a minute, your skin will feel moisturized and non-sticky. With 7 types of HA and at 5000 ppm, you can rely on this toner to give your skincare routine a waterful boost (non-pun intended; this is quite literal). Whilst sheet masks can boost moisture into your skin as well, I think it is best to have a consistent boost within your regular skincare as well.
Waterfull Hyaluronic Cream
50ml | Dry, Dehydrated, and Flaking Skin
This is a daily moisturizing cream that is not sticky and great for oily skin as well. It gets absorbed into the skin quickly without clogging the pores whilst providing deep moisturization.
Key Features:
- Nourishing and moisturizing with snail mucin
- Improves on skin elasticity
- Soothe sensitized skin
After cleansing and toning, pour essence into hands and pat onto face and neck until fully absorbed. Follow with serum and moisturizer
Review
To be fair, the thickness of this cream is really a surprise to me. I thought it will be gel-like but it ended up to be a bit thicker than that. It is great for Autumn/Winter time because it stays onto your skin a little longer than regular gel but it does not give you the irritating feeling (or suffocating feeling) like cream moisturizers do. This cream is completely fragrance-free and odorless. You don’t need to apply a thick layer during the first try. Add a bit more onto your face when you think it is not enough. Good to use it during the day and night.
Like I mentioned earlier, it will stay on your skin for a while. Once it is completely absorbed, your skin will feel like it’s been moisturized like you had never used any skincare (like you were born with it). There was no irritating feeling or stickiness. I do wake up with my face a little bit shiny but it was very little.

Review
This is the first time I’ve tried snail mucin products and I felt like a little child, feeling so impressed by the slimy-ness and the webbings. It is transparent and odorless, you won’t be smelling weird slimy smells, don’t worry. There are 90% snail secretion filtrate really shows from how concentrated it is, you can see it from the set of photos below:
After applying, it is a bit stickier than anything I’ve tried. I personally find it harder to absorb into my skin than the thicker creams I have too. The consistency is similar to watery saliva (ew, I know, sorry) and it does irritate my eczema a bit. However, there are some feelings of moisturizing after applying this.

Review
Snail mucin is meant to be a little bit sticky, yes. Whilst this is a facial cream product, it is still a little bit opaque when applied and there are some levels of stickiness. It is a little bit slimy with some webbing but not as much as the serum. It is odorless and less creamier than the Waterfull HA cream moisturizer.
It takes longer to feel completely absorbed into my skin than the hyaluronic cream mainly because of the snail mucin. I think this has also triggered my eczema and I will explain more in my verdict. It has some levels of moisturizing feeling on my skin and I didn’t wake up with greasy/shiny skin.
Verdict
In order to make the comparison from both skincare line, I have tested these products on the two sides of my face: Snail EX on the left side and Waterfull HA on the right side. I applied them during the night and make observations the next day.
The left side of my face was okay and it feels normal except I do feel some itchiness right after applying the Snail EX products and it slowly developed into eczema throughout the next day. I think the products have done well in moisturizing the skin but just don’t work well with my eczema zones.
The right side of my face was a little bit shinier when I woke up the next day. It was moisturized and soothed. My eczema zones are smooth and unbothered. Actually, right after I applied it, it felt nicely moisturized and there wasn’t a tiny bit of irritation too.
So, to conclude, the best skin care line for me in between these two options would be the Waterfull Hyaluronic Acid line. I highly recommend the skincare line and so far Jumiso has been doing well for a lot of people that I had come across.
