'🐌 Snail-ing it'!
Not everyone is fond of Snail Mucin - a rave ingredient in the Kbeauty world! As for me, having dry, dehydrated skin it is Skincare God's sent! I'm not bothered or grossed out by the gloopy texture, I actually find it soothing.
Some benefits of Snail Mucin according to Google :
▪️ Moisturizes & hydrates (hello Hyaluronic Acid!) - supports the skin barrier health & help lock in moisture
▪️ Aids in skin healing & regeneration - contains antibacterial properties so it can aid in the treatment of acne.
▪️ Promotes Collagen production-has copper Peptides that can help fight those lines & wrinkles.
▪️ Helps reduce redness & inflammation( contains zinc & Allantoin), evens out skin tone & aid in fading hyperpigmentation
▪️Has exfoliation properties because of the glycolic acid = evens out skin tone & aid in fading hyperpigmentation
Like any other ingredients, some might be allergic to it so be sure to patch test!

I've got detailed reviews of these on the grid.
Pls watch the whole video to see the comparison on the textures & ingredients.
🐌 @skin79 Natural Snail Mucus Essence-sinks well, w/o tacky after feel! Great for exfoliation night & I love this for my dry, feet!
🐌 @cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence - the most famous of all the snail essence & has started my love for this ingredient! Thicker than the Skin 79, silky, soothing & hydrating. My skin savior when I over exfoliate or when skin is extra dry.
🐌 @peach_slices Snail Rescue Toner-since it's a toner, the gloopy texture is not that prominent but is very hydrating! This plumps my skin & soothes it too!
🐌@jumiso_global Snail Ex Ultimate Boost - it is indeed a boost of hydration & very soothing! With 90% Snail Secretion. Absorption is so good, my skin drinks this up & is not tacky.
I tend to reach for these when I over exfoliate or skin is still adjusting to a new retinol or product, or when I have itchy skin/rashes or an insect bite. It provides deep hydration!
