Does it go before the snail essence or after? The aloe vera gel is kinda runny so I think it should go before the essence, but I'm not really sure. Also for anyone who uses Cosrx snail essence and their Advanced Snail 92 AIO cream, is it hydrating for you? When I first used the Cosrx snail essence & AIO cream, it made my face soft, but it kinda left me flaky around my mouth area so I added Innisfree Green Tea Balancing Lotion and I'm no longer flaky, but I feel that overall, my skin is a bit tight. It doesn't really produce as much oil as it did before so now I only blot like once a day in the afternoon when I see my skin getting shiny. I like that it's not super oily as before, but I don't like the tight feeling on my skin T_T I suspect it's the cleanser that I've been using, but it has never made me feel dry before so I thought maybe not enough hydration and that's why I got the Cosrx Aloe Vera Gel.
