About this deal

Contains the ingredients of snail and collagen for protecting skin from dryness by maintaining moisture level and providing luminance to skin. For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well. Anyone who wants to try a snail-based serum but with a little more oomph (ie. copper peptide) and without the stringy texture. A few studies have been done on the overall effect of snail mucin and found that it helped improved the appearance of fine lines after 8 weeks of use. 3 They also noticed skin repairing properties when it was applied after a cosmeticprocedure. 4 Other soothing ingredients: Allantoin, sesame seed extract, ivy leaf extract, and adenosine (also helps with collagen production)

Abdulghani, Ahsan A., et al. “Studies of the Effects of Topical Vitamin C, a Copper Binding Cream, and Melatonin Cream as Compared With…” ResearchGate, Elsevier, Mar. 1998, www.researchgate.net/publication/246049763_Studies_of_the_effects_of_topical_vitamin_C_a_copper_binding_cream_and_melatonin_cream_as_compared_with_tretinoin_on_the_ultrastructure_of_normal_skin.Trades some of the snail goo for other ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and panthenol to seriously up the hydration factor and add some brightening benefits. Again, no potential anti-aging benefits here, so it depends on your needs.

A 2007 study examined the molecular basis for the great regeneration properties of the ingredient. It found that snail slime (SS) indeed does a bunch of positive things that could be the reason for its great repair abilities. First, it has serious antioxidant properties thanks to two great antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase and glutathione s-transferase. Second, SS induces fibroblast proliferation, that's particularly important during wound healing. Third SS was also found to downregulate MMP, an evil enzyme that's out there to destroy skin-firming collagen. These properties add up to give SS not only wound healing and regenerative properties but also serious anti-aging potential. A viscous gel that feels water like as soon as you apply it to your skin. Absorbs almost instantly! Does not have that goopy stringy texture typically found in snail products.

Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients. As for scientific proof that snail slime does something for the skin, we did find a couple of studies to go by. A Spanish radiation oncologist,Rafael Abad Iglesias MD discovered for the first time that snail mucin can be used to treatradiation dermatitis (skin irritation caused by radiotherapy, a form of cancer treatment). He did a clinical study with 100 patients and reported a "statistically significant clinical improvement in erythema, itching and burning pain" in the group treated with snail slime. The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it. However some sulfates are so good at their job, they can wash off your skin’s own natural oils that keep it moisturised and protected which can lead to dryness and irritation.
