Skin Types: Normal • Dry • Dehydrated • Combination • Oily • Sensitive • Mature • Blemish-prone skin that tolerates the formula
Skin Concerns: Dryness • Dehydration • Fine lines • Rough texture • Dullness • Post-blemish marks • Uneven-looking tone • Weakened moisture barrier
Formula Notes:
- The supplied product name and promotional information state that the cream contains 93% Snail Secretion Filtrate. Snail Secretion Filtrate is the first ingredient, but the exact percentage cannot be independently confirmed from the INCI alone.
- The formula contains three rice-derived ingredients: Oryza Sativa Rice Bran Water, Oryza Sativa Rice Extract, and Rice Ferment Filtrate identified as Sake.
- Panthenol helps hydrate and support the moisture barrier, but the formula should not be described as guaranteeing increased Collagen production.
- Ectoin helps protect against dehydration and environmental stress, but the cream should not be described as medically repairing damaged skin.
- No Fragrance, Parfum, aromatic essential oils, or added colourants are listed in the supplied INCI.
- The raw description calls the formula oil-free, but Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is the second ingredient. The product should therefore not be described as oil-free.
- Contains Dimethicone, so the formula is not silicone-free.
- Cetearyl Alcohol is present, but it is a non-drying fatty alcohol used for texture and emollient care rather than the same as Ethanol or Alcohol Denat.
- No Alcohol Denat. or Ethanol is listed in the supplied ingredient list.
- Snail Secretion Filtrate is an animal-derived ingredient, so the cream is not vegan.
- No specific non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, or clinical wrinkle-testing information was supplied.
How to Use:
- Apply after cleansing, toner, essence, and targeted serums.
- Take a moderate amount and spread it evenly over the face and neck.
