Review Summary

The idea of snail mucin was off-putting at first, but the results converted me. This essence provides deep hydration without any heaviness or stickiness. The 96% snail secretion filtrate is incredibly healing — it's faded my acne scars, calmed redness, and plumped my skin. I apply it after toner and before moisturizer, patting it into damp skin. The viscous texture absorbs completely, leaving skin bouncy and hydrated. It's gentle enough for sensitive skin and doesn't cause breakouts. One bottle lasts 3-4 months with twice-daily use. My skin looks healthier, more radiant, and younger since incorporating this. It's become a non-negotiable step in my routine. For the price and results, this is an incredible value and staple in K-beauty.
