WOW!
Wow! I have only been using Shark Sauce for 5 days and already I can see such a HUGE difference it's made in my skin! I have used SOOOO many products in the past that I honestly didn't think it was going to be like THAT great but i am blown away. The texture and look of my skin has improved SO much in only 5 days???!!!!! Thank you for making such a wonderful product!
MY RIDE OR DIE
this is my ride or die. there was a period when my old bottle ran out and i forgot to place an order for a new one, so my skin looked very dehydrated and not as bouncy as when i'm using the essence. my skin is oily, dehydrated, acne-prone type. i live in the tropics. i always get the big 120ml and use it as my first step after cleansing. if i wear make-up, i use it as setting spray as well. just don't get it into your eyes, it stings!
A lifesaver!
This has been my go to face serum since it launched many years ago. If I'm having a "lazy" skincare day this is the one thing I will force myself to put on my face no matter what. This has greatly improved my overall skin texture and helped reduce sun spots over many years of use.
WAS SKEPTICAL. NOW I'M A DIEHARD FAN!
I heard about Shark Sauce on reddit awhile ago. I figured since I was going to try niacinamide products for the first time, I might as well go all in. Checked the ingredients and saw nothing was weird. And I have to say my most recent acne scars have basically faded. I'm on my second bottle (had to size up for this amazingness) of it and my hyperpigmentation from 2 years ago is going away! I've only been using the stuff for 2 months (applied both AM and PM)! 😃 At this rate, my skintone will be even by the new year! I won't even need to try to learn makeup with how well this is working. Please keep this as a product. It really works and it's a great introduction to the products here.
I love Honey Shark. I’ve been using it for years and it feels so luxurious and works so beautifully.
I have FA (Fungal Acne) and by far Honey Shark has been the best serum for my skin. No only is it FA safe, but honey has also been shown to prevent future breakouts! My favorite thing about this particular formula of Shark Sauce however is that this one does not feel dry or tight after drying down, it feels a bit more moisturizing than the OG formula. This is my 5th or so purchase!
I have been using Shark Sauce since it came out, and I will continue to use it as long as it's available. Nothing beats it for efficacy, not even products three times the price. I'm in my mid 30s with very sensitive, acne-prone skin, and not only does Shark Sauce not break me out, it calms my reactivity overall so trying to add other products to my routine doesn't cause such terrible breakouts the way they did before I used this. When I skip Shark Sauce I notice my skin tone is not as bright or even, too. I recommend this product and Holy Snails in general to basically everyone who asks me where to get the best of the best.
I’ve been using shark sauce for over 5 years and I always get compliments on my skin. I will continue to use it for many years to come. I find that it does great for brightening the skin and reducing aging.
I was curious about Shark Sauce for years, and decided to finally give it a try in the form of this set. The packaging is adorable, and I love all three so much I may buy the set again instead of buying a single full size like I originally planned :)
Been using since it came out. It is a constant in my routine. Will always buy!
I've been a fan of holy snails for years and as fun as trying new skincare products is, I always come back to this essence and shark sauce combo. This preps my skin to absorb the rest of my skincare nicely and lessens the redness. My skin feels smooth and hydrated, like it drinks this up. When I first started using these products, I had eczema spots and this helped to calm the inflammation back when my skin barrier was broken. Pair it with ceramides and it just leaves soft skin.
10/10 best chapstick style lip balm you'll EVER get. This from a person living in the second hottest area on the planet (not to mention its so dry you feel the moisture evaporate from your eyes).
I don’t really consider myself a skincare person, but my friend who is said I should try this. I feel like it really helps my skin recover from a pimple and be brighter. I see a noticeable difference when I don’t use it for a few weeks. My routine is super minimal, just sunscreen in the morning and shark sauce + moisturizer at night.
For months I’d been dealing with cystic acne on my chin and really dry skin from all the products I was trying to clear it up with. I came to buy Shark Sauce and decided to give Smowbang a try after seeing reviews that said it helped clear up their acne. I honestly didn’t think it would help but literally the next day after using this my cystic acne was already getting smaller! It’s been about a week now and I have no active breakouts on my chin and the existing bumps are almost gone. So happy I took a chance and bought this because it has been a total game changer for my skin!!
I have sensitive and acne-prone dehydrated oily/combination skin and a nasty tea tree allergy, so you can imagine that finding cleansers suitable for my face is difficult. I’ve been using a bunch of cleansers that I like but didn’t love, until I tried Kadi. My skin was visibly nicer after one wash and adding it as my only change brought the worst stress breakout of the past five years back under control! My skin looks great and I feel great about it. Thank you again Holy Snails!
I've been using Holy Snails in some form or another since 2017 and their shark sauce = one of my favorite parts of my skin care routine!
Over the years, I've tried a number of the different Shark Sauce du mois. Of the ones that are still available, I've tried Silky Shark, Honey Shark, Hanbang Shark, and Great White Shark. (I recently picked up Angel Shark from oo35mm and am hoping to try out Spooky Shark at some point after I finish off everything I currently own.)
On the whole, they absorb easily and I only need a couple drops per use, so a little goes a long way. (I usually use this at nighttime.) The packaging is adorable and I really like that it's super easy to dispense how much I need without any wasted product. I've actually yet to try their plain ol' shark sauce because I really like these ones! My skin is typically dry and I also have hormonal-ish acne that really likes to scar and leave hyperpigmented marks and over time, it really does feel that this has both improved the texture of my skin + also faded the scars over time.
My favorites would have to be the first two I ever purchased - Hanbang + Honey. I love how soothing + moisturizing they are and am super happy that they aren't limited edition. I'm on a vague no-buy at the moment but I live in mild fear that these will randomly run out, so I may stock up prior to fully going on my no-buy!
I was skeptical that this would make a noticeable difference for my ultra-dry skin, and started with the travel size. Now I always come back for the full bottle!
Before I had this, my skin, especially my T-zone would be super red, tight, shiny, and painful after I washed my face in the shower—even with colder water. Now I use First Snow promptly after stepping out of the shower and before my toner, and it makes a BIG difference for my skin! When I run out, the same redness issue returns. This is definitely a staple for me now.
For application—I do not spray directly on my face, but rather into my palm and then gently apply with my fingers. I do agree with others that the stickiness of the label is off putting, but the quality of the product is worth it to me!
