Tony Moly Pure Snail Moisture Gel

An update for my irritated face. As the night goes on, my face is getting so itchy I want to scrub the heck out of it, but I refrained lest I do more damage than I already did.
 
I'm beginning to suspect it might have been the snail gel, because I didn't have this bad of an effect when I was using the mask, not to mention, it had gotten worse ever since I put the snail gel on my face. Maybe my face is allergic to snail secretion they're using, as this isn't the first time it reacted to snail product. I'm apprehensive about the Mizon snail cream now, if I'm actually allergic to snail, it'll be a repeat of tonight when I use it.

Urgh, my skin is so sensitive it's not funny.
Red bumps on my forehead and swollen spots from scratching and irritations. Not fun at all.

And I'm not sure if it's just me or it's the Tonymoly snail gel, but there seems to be a layer of product sitting on my face, and when I scratch an itchy spot on my face (I know I'm not supposed to scratch my face, but it's so itchy!!!!), a soft, squishy layer came off like a peeling mask. I'm pretty sure it's not my skin, so the only thing would have been the product actually creating a thin layer on top of my face. Perhaps it's what also aggravating my skin, because I went and wash my face again with a pore brush, and it feels a little better, plus the itching has lessen significantly.

This make me wonder what exactly it is that they put into the snail gel, as the gel wasn't the first Tonymoly product to leave a thin layer on my face. The previous Tonymoly product I used was Pore Soap, and it left a white-ish layer on my face that I scraped off in the shower (imaging doing a face massage in the shower and actually rubbing layers off your face, that's what happened to me). It wasn't a thick layer at all, but it weird me out; and after this snail gel, I'm not sure I actually like Tonymoly products.

Well, there is the Egg Steam Balm that I used before, and I haven't formed an opinion on it yet, as I do like how it feel applying and taking off, but I haven't seen noticeable results - though I've only used it twice in the past four weeks, so I'm not sure if it is any effective. I do remember that the egg steam balm and the cooling pack was hard to get off because I have big pores, and I can actually see the residue in the pores that they was supposed to reduced xD Urgh. I want to like Tonymoly, I really do, but I'm not having a good impression of the products I'm using at all.

I think I'm just going to keep Tonymoly off my face just to be on the safe side.

And the search for Korean products that actually do what it said continues D:
