Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Snail secretion filtrate is first on a list of thirteen items, and the 96 in the name is the brand's figure rather than one you can read off the label. It leaves skin feeling cushioned rather than hydrated in the way a humectant does. The published evidence is thinner than the reputation: it has lasted a decade on how skin feels afterwards rather than on anything demonstrated in a trial.
