Reviews from cosmetologists
Are face creams with snail effective? Reviews from cosmetologists make it clear that cosmetics based on snail mucus do not give the effect described in the advertisement.
According to cosmetologists, a cream based on snail mucus is an effective moisturizer. Due to their ability to deeply moisturize the skin, such creams prevent early aging.
Using creams with snail mucin as a whitening agent is ineffective: snail mucus contains a low concentration of acids and does not lighten age spots.
Cream with snail makes the skin moisturized and fresh, prevents early aging. The market provides a large selection of creams with mucin extract, which makes choosing a product difficult. The best moisturizers with snail contain at least 70% of the main active ingredient and consist of natural ingredients.
When to start using snail cream
Considering the unique ability of snail mucus to solve a variety of cosmetology problems,
The products can be used at any age. Things to consider! Snail mucus contains collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. All these components must be produced by the skin on its own at a young age. With regular use of snail cream, the processes of synthesis of important elements will decrease. After discontinuation of the drug, premature aging of the skin may occur. Therefore, in young years, up to 25 years, it is recommended to use cosmetics containing snail mucus until a specific problem is resolved. For example, wrinkles that appeared as a result of nervous stress disappeared, the skin recovered from an inflamed pimple, and so on. After 45 years, the cream can be used daily, morning and evening.

How does snail cosmetics work and who is it suitable for?
For cosmetic purposes, mucin is used - snail mucus, which is secreted under the influence of stress factors. The secretions stimulate the regeneration of cochlear tissue. The international cosmetic name for snail mucus is Snail Secretion Filtrate.
Snail secretion contains elastin, hyaluronic acid, collagen, natural antibiotics, vitamins and mineral salts.
Effect of face cream with snail secretion:
- improves complexion, makes tone more even;
- moisturizes;
- eliminates oily shine;
- relieves redness;
- makes wrinkles less noticeable;
- slows down the process of skin aging;
- cleanses and tightens pores;
- restores skin elasticity and firmness;
- disinfects: reduces the number of pathogens on the surface of the facial skin;
- accelerates wound healing;
- starts recovery processes;
- eliminates inflammation.
Cosmetics are also used to treat acne. Creams not only eliminate problems, but also prevent the formation of spots at the site of acne.
The product is used to care for combination and oily skin prone to rashes. Snail cream is also used in the care of aging facial skin. Such cosmetics are not recommended for women with dry skin.
Recommendations for use
Domestic snail creams from China and Korea have received the best reviews today. But in order for them to bring maximum benefit, you need to smear it in accordance with the instructions:
- Before applying, cleanse the skin with tonic, lotion or other product to remove dirt, grease and cosmetics;
- the cream is not rubbed in, but applied with gentle patting movements, evenly distributed along massage lines from the center to the periphery;
- Usually the structure of such products is viscous, slightly sticky, so after application you need to wait at least 10–15 minutes until completely absorbed;
- if the cream contains more than 90% mucin, it is inconvenient to apply it under makeup, since the foundation will roll off the skin;
- It is optimal to use it as a night remedy.
The minimum course of using cream with mucin is 2 weeks . Only after this period will the result be noticeable. It is not recommended to use it constantly; the skin must be given rest.
Snail slime - what is the secret of success
Vineyard workers were the first to notice the miraculous effect of snails. With frequent contact with shellfish, wounds and damage to the skin healed faster, the skin became smooth, tender and well-groomed. This remark became a serious reason for research. As a result, it became known that snails secrete 2 types of mucus. The first one is in the process of crawling. Slime is necessary for slippery creatures to move. Second -
responsible for restoration processes. Promotes growth and regeneration of the shell, eliminates damage to the body. The latter became the most important discovery in the field of cosmetology.
To create a unique cosmetic product, snails are raised in hygienic conditions on special farms. To obtain snail extract, you do not need to kill these harmless creatures. Just shaking them enough is enough to stress them out. Snails secrete a large amount of mucus, which is collected, further processed, and used to make cosmetics. Snail extract contains a large amount of minerals, polysaccharides, and healthy proteins.
Expectations and reality
What does everyone expect when purchasing a miracle product? Of course, magical transformations. Preferably instant. So now you can apply it here and here, go to bed and wake up beautiful. So that wrinkles are erased, scars are smoothed out, acne disappears... Not bad, but far from reality. What do we really have? What then is the miracle?
If you don't take care of yourself and hope to get results... Yes, you will. You just need to objectively evaluate the “texture” and not expect that wrinkles will disappear overnight. Such a product has not yet been invented (if we are talking about creams and not plastic). Even the most unkempt skin will be transformed. Moreover, the result will not have to wait long; it will be visible the next morning. What can we say about the skin that is pampered and cherished.
“If wrinkles don’t go away, then what?” - you might ask. Your appearance will improve. The face will look as if it has had a good rest and will feel fresher. Over time, turgor will improve, inner radiance will appear, and the oval of the face will tighten (for those over 40+). Wrinkles will not deepen, small expression lines can be smoothed out. And no, this is not an advertisement. This is a reality confirmed by numerous reviews.
Snail cream works, but there are several factors to consider. Time to use the cream: any product does not give maximum results immediately. Skin condition. Personal acceptance or rejection of mucin. And the percentage of snail mucin in the cream: the more it is, the more effective the product is.
Below we will look at the most popular face creams and reviews of them.
