This functional skincare line works well for all skin types and has everything you need from face cleanser to moisturiser, masks and under-eye patches. The incorporation of the Mizon skin care line into your daily beauty routine in the long term can help diminish fine lines, wrinkles as well as prevent premature skin aging.Snail extract: This animal-based extract is said to promote the renewal of skin cells and can help to minimize the appearance of blemishes and reduce the chances of acne scarring. Snail mucin is considered the holy grail of Korean beauty routine, and for a reason: snail cream works perfectly, helps with broken skin, and it also helps in keeping skin alive and well hydrated. Snail mucus is full of many skincare ingredients, including elastin, hyaluronic acid, proteins, glycolic acid, antioxidants that are vital for our skin.

Snail Secretion Filtrate :Antioxidant + Wound healing (promotes extracellular matrixassembly and inhibit metalloproteinases production (their overproduction is directly linkedto chronic wounds and the formation of scars) Glycolic acid is a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exerts anti-inflammatory, keratolytic, and antioxidant effects, and acts as both an exfoliator and a moisturizer. Glycolic acid exfoliates the skin by targeting corneocytes (dead skin cells that make up the top layers of skin) in a process called corneocyte desquamation. By enhancing their breakdown and increasing the separation of skin cells, the rate of cell turnover is increased, leading to smoother, brighter skin. Glycolic acid is also a humectant, which means it grabs onto water and slows it from evaporating. The natural glycolic acid in snail slime will help to brighten skin and promote a dewy glow.

It minimizes skin irritation as it contains no artificial fragrance or pigment and uses only skin-friendly plant extracts to prevent irritation: Euh. Not really dude. All that skin-friendly plant thing is marketing. There are plenty of toxic plant extracts out there; just because something comes from mother nature doesn't mean it won't rip your skin to shreds. Now yes, the ingredients here are, for the most part, nonirritating, but alas, our beloved friend Ethylhexylglycerin has found its way in this eye cream. Please read the paragraph written on it in the in-depth ingredient list above if you're not familiar with this preservative. Also, let me reiterate what I always say:

Niacinamide :Anti-aging (promotes collagen production and Ceramidessynthesis) + Antioxidant (Against UV-induced photocarcinogenesis and photo immunosuppression) + Anti-inflammatory ( Possible reductions in total sebaceous creation of lipids, overproduction being one of the causes of acne) + Anti-hyperpigmentation (Inhibits Melanin pigment to reach most skin cells) Formulyst Anti-Aging Concentrate also contains many natural ingredients, such as green tea, vitamin C, and vitamin E. All three of these ingredients provide powerful antioxidant activity, protecting the skin against environmental free radicals that are known to contribute to signs of aging. Overall, Formulyst Anti-Aging Concentrate is a multi-tasking serum that is formulated to help promote the five signs of youth – radiance, elasticity, firmness, skin tone and smoothness. Repairs skin, as viscous snail mucin, strengthens skin, repairs damage, and restores vitality: According to Mizon, this product is composed of 80% snail Snail Secretion Filtrate (yum) , which has been shown to improve wounds and act as a good moisturizer. My only titbit with this is that you wouldn’t necessarily need wound repair near the eye area. Wounds on the face are usually from acne scars, as acne is technically an open wound. If not from that, you could get wounded by something falling on your face, your cat scratching you, your cat falling on your face, or anything random that everyday life likes to surprise us with, particularly in this glorious year of 2020. But daily life doesn’t wound the eye area, and acne seldom appears underneath your eye. So… I don’t really see the point of having an eye cream being wound healing, but hey, that’s just me. Now for the vitality part, my under-eye area looked nicer while I was using this, and I was easily able to make a couple of people believe I had slept 5 hours when I pulled a couple of all-nighters. I’m not complaining. Before applying moisturiser, take a small amount of cream on your finger at pat it into your under eyes. Apply any excess to your smile lines and around your mouth.

Based on the healing properties mentioned above, it has been theorized that applying snail mucin to the skin could provide skin-regenerating benefits. According to researchers at the University of Nigeria, snail mucin plays an important role in wound healing as it enhances the skin’s natural regenerative response on the formation of new tissues, probably through immune response. Due to these healing properties, snail slime has been shown to help with acne, rosacea, scars, razor bumps, and even signs of aging. Glycerine:Widely used as a quality Hydrator (occurs naturally in skin and its chemical structure attracts water). You can find this ingredient in most good skin-replenishing products.

Many of the snail mucin benefits come from three key components: hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, and allantoin. Hyaluronic acid is an exceptional ingredient for adding hydration to the skin. It is a glycosaminoglycan that draws in moisture from the environment and can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Hyaluronic acid may also help to plump the skin and reduce signs of aging.
