An essence with snail filtrate can create small threads when distributed. This unusual texture is part of many Snail Mucin products and is noticeably finer on the skin. In the ingredients list the filtrate is called Snail Secretion Filtrates. It is used in moisturizing care and comes from snails. It is therefore out of the question for a purely vegan routine.

The COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is a slightly gel-like example. In addition to snail filtrate, it contains, among other things, betaine, panthenol and allantoin. After cleansing and using your toner if necessary, spread a small amount over your face with your fingertips. This is followed by your cream. The essence adds an additional layer of moisture without you having to put together a long routine. A thin layer is a good way to find out whether you like the way your skin feels.
