Studies show this ingredient tells our body to create more collagen and elastin. Collagen is a protein that makes connective tissue. Elastin is the protein responsible for giving our skin elasticity. Our bodies start to slow down collagen and elastin production with age.
Boosting collagen and elastin production can help create a healthier skin barrier. Having a healthy skin barrier means having firm and hydrated skin. It's a win-win situation!

Never again.
BURNS LIKE HELL. I wake up in the morning with my undereyes red, inflamed, and eyes watery whenever I use it.
I tried to use it on my forehead instead (so I don't have to throw it away) and pimples appeared overnight. I don't have any problems with my skin barrier nor I'm an oily type, so I don't get why it happened.
It's such a shame because I love other products with snail secretion and wanted to love this as well.
