Ingredients
Snail secretion filtrate contains glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid, and can offer hydration and soothing support. Cute packaging, but let's be precise about what it does: the evidence for snail mucin specifically is still fairly limited, and composition varies by brand and preparation — it doesn't "heal" skin the way some marketing implies. Treat it as a hydration-and-soothing ingredient with promising but not proven standalone results, and judge it on how your skin actually responds.
