1 / 7Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
A hydrating essence that is almost entirely snail secretion filtrate — 96% of the formula. It has a clear, slightly slippery gel texture that pats in quickly and dries down without residue, leaving skin plumper and dewier. A good fit for dry, dehydrated, sensitive, or post-blemish skin that wants repair-style hydration without irritation.
More detail
The 96% snail secretion filtrate naturally carries glycoproteins, allantoin, and hyaluronic-acid-like humectants that hydrate and support the skin barrier, and the formula adds sodium hyaluronate, panthenol, and betaine for extra moisture. The texture is a clear, stretchy gel — a little slimy going on, but it absorbs fast and leaves no sticky finish. Use it after cleansing and toning and before moisturizer, morning or night; a small amount pressed into the skin is enough. It is fragrance-free, sulfate-free, and hypoallergenic-tested, so it is generally well tolerated even on sensitive or acne-prone skin. It is animal-derived (not vegan), and anyone with a known snail-mucin allergy or very reactive skin should patch test first.
