Who should use snail products:
✨Dry/Dehydrated skin: Relieves dryness and peeling, keeps skin hydrated.
✨Mature/Pre-mature skin: Promotes collagen production, improves skin elasticity.
✨Damaged/Sensitive skin: Repairs damaged skin barrier, soothes sensitivity and redness.
✨Acne-prone skin: Improves acne inflammation and fades residual acne marks.
Precautions for using snail products:
👉🏻Perform a skin patch test: Always conduct a skin patch test before use (apply a small amount to the inner arm or behind the ear and observe for 24 hours).
👉🏻Caution for shellfish/mollusk allergies: Snails are mollusks. If you are allergic to clams, oysters, squid, or dust mites (dust mites are arthropods and may have cross-allergens with mollusks), it is best to avoid use.
👉🏻Severe cystic acne: If acne is pus-filled or cystic, the occlusive moisturizing film of snail mucus may prevent pus from draining, potentially worsening inflammation. In such cases, seek medical advice rather than relying on skincare products.
👉🏻Avoid use with acids or retinoids: Snail mucus naturally contains trace amounts of glycolic acid (AHA). If you are currently using high-concentration retinoic acid, retinol, or salicylic acid, layering them may lead to over-exfoliation, causing peeling or redness. It is recommended to use them at different times (e.g., separate morning and evening routines).
