The filtered snail mucin contained in Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence penetrates under the skin into the invisible, working against damaged skin. This 96%-concentrate ingredient keeps you skin moist all day and finds your lost skin vitality. ” – CosRX After hearing so much raves of this product, I finally decided to get it.
Many reviews stated that it helped reduce their redness and helped even out their skin tone, which is something I need at this moment. Thonestly forgot where I bought this online after buying so many skincare products in the month of July. I can best assume that I ordered this from Jolse since I constantly order from there. On Jolse, this product costs $16. 89 for 100ml, and allows for international free shipping.
Directions : “1. On the forehead and the nose, lightly touch so as not to cause heaviness. 2. On the cheeks, spread a generous amount and rub enough to soak into the skin. . For under eye area, tap as if playing the piano, to make the skin absorb the essence. ” Duration of use : July 31, 2015 – September 10, 2015 Application : Since 96% of the product is ‘snail secretion filtrate’, one can predict the essence is pretty gooey and has texture that’s more solid than water. When dispensing the product into a cotton pad, I find that I only need to pump the container only one since that essence has been easy to spread around my whole face. I also noticed how stringy the essence really is, like what you’d expect of snail mucin.
When applied on my skin, its easily absorbed into my skin and doesn’t make my face feel sticky after a minute or so. Ingredients : Source : Jolse – some deeper explanation of a few ingredients – Snail Secretion Filtrate (96%), Betaine, Butylene Glycol, 1,2Hexanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Arginine, Allantoin, Ethyl Hexanediol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Carbomer, Phenoxyethanol Analysis of ingredients can be found here. The use minimal ingredients in this formula is perfect for people who are acne proned due to the limited amounts of potential irritants and comdogenic ingredients.
According to COSDNA, it flags ‘butylene glycol’ and ‘carbomer’ a 1 as potential irritants and triggers. Those two ingredients being rated as a one means its possible for those two to irritate the skin, but least likely since being rated the lowest number for an irritant. Snail secretion filtrate (96%) – Snail secretion filtrate is known for its anti-aging and skin repairing properties that improves the overall texture and skin tone of the face, it makes up 92% of this product. Source Betaine – Also known as Trimethylglycine, Betaine is an amino acid which functions as a humectant in order to retain moisture.
Carbomer: often used to stabilize the consistency and create a gel-like texture. Scent : There’s no scent that I can detect. pH Level : 6. 90 (according to WishTrend) Moisture Test : Before application : 31. 5% After application : 48. 9% Thoughts: What I love about this product is that it contains 96% snail mucin and the fact it doesn’t break me out. This is the second snail product I have ever used and it is nice to know that I was able to implement a snail product into my routine without causing any issues to my face.
Due to the 96% snail secretion filtrate contained in this product, I hoped that it would help ‘repair’ my damaged skin and help fade my redness and fade any lines in my face. As well as applying this on my face, I specifically apply it on my eye area as well to see if it was able to fade any fine lines, which it wasn’t able to. I also really like how stringy the product is, proving its authenticity of having 96% snail mucin. What I don’t like about this product is that the only benefit I’ve een able to notice is that my skin is more moisturized.
Unlike other bloggers, I haven’t been seeing this product giving me a ‘glow’, fade my PIH/redness, or fade the fine lines in my eyes. I can’t say if it did anything about the fine lines on other parts of my face because I may be too young to develop those at this moment. After I get over a break out, I apply this product in hopes it helps fade my scars faster, but haven’t noticed that. I will be continuing this product until its empty, but I’m unsure if I may repurchase it.
It may be repairing my skin without me noticing any differences, especially with wrinkles. This product is one of the two snail products in my routine, so I just think I should continue to use products that contain snail mucin in them for future benefits. But as of now at my age, I don’t see any benefits besides being moisturized. I believe this product would be greater for those who are in need of anti-aging products than those with troubled skin looking to reduce their redness and fade scars.
