BB Cream Review: PRORANCE International Gold Snail BB Cream

Today's review is for the PRORANCE International Gold Snail BB Cream

AvailabilityAlright so... I purchased this at my local pharmacy for something like $13.99 for 30 mL and I cannot find any reputable-seeming retailers online, especially ones that sell to the US. 

Would I buy this again? Honestly while I love the product, I don't think it's a good shade match for me, so no. 

What is this product? What is it supposed to do?
Let's quote from prorance.kr, shall we?
Triple functional cosmetics for whitening/wrinkle correction/sunscreen (SPF30, PA+++)
For Resilient, Lively Skin
Product Description
1. The BB cream that applies smoothly with a crisp finish for firmer skin.
2. Naturally covers the skin flaws for a clean and radiant skin tone.
3. Contains the concentrated golden snail essence extracted from the mucus of golden snails to help with healthier, moisturized skin.
4. Contains the French rose extracts and American walnut oil to leave your skin resilient with the work of wrinkle-correcting adenosine for vitality and liveliness.
Effect
- Helps with skin whitening and wrinkle correction.
- Protects the skin from UV rays (SPF30, PA+++).


Does this come in any other shade than the one pictured above?
This only comes in one shade. 😭(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

What's the coverage/consistency like?
I would say this is a hydrating cream with a buildable, medium to full coverage and a natural radiant finish.

Does this have any beneficial ingredients in it?
Snail Secretion Filtrate: Helps hydrate skin, has anti-inflammatory properties, helps boost collagen production, brightens skin, and helps smooth skin texture.
Glycerin: Helps attract moisture to the skin.
Niacinamide: Has pore-diminishing, sebum-regulating, anti-inflammatory, and skin brightening properties.
Adenosine: Has anti-inflammatory properties and helps restore skin's moisture barrier.
Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil: Has antioxidant properties.
Rosa Damascena Flower Oil: Has astringent and hydrating properties.
Rosa Gallica Flower Extract: Has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties.
Tocopherol: Vitamin E, acts as an antioxidant on the skin and helps preserve the product.

Is this scented?
This has a very faint, floral scent.

What has my experience with the product been like?
Pros:
-Consistency is really smooth, easy to blend and apply
-Has a pinkish undertone which is a rare find
-Lightweight
- Wears well all day
- Natural radiant finish looks like skin, not makeup 

Cons:
- color is a bit off, it oxidizes orangey on my skin-tone
- can feel a bit heavy in hot, humid weather
-claims it has SPF30 but isn't labeled as such which makes me feel suspicious

I've been using this as my "day off" makeup because I like to have a bit of a tint on due to having to shave my face due to my PCOS. I just feel more confident going on with a bit of a tint on. I really like this product because in addition to coverage, it also gives my skin added hydration.

What do I use to apply the product?
I apply this with  my fingers.

I feel as though this review is pretty thorough but please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Disclaimer: I bought this myself.
