like thicker snail mucin, personally it works great for me especially in the summer. i have dry sensitive skin so this has helped with my barrier. i don't use this as my last step (only on exfoliation day tho) and usually put my sunscreen overtop or use it with the sandwich method for my retinol

Kinda disappointed it feels a bit heavy on oily skin and caused weird bumps on my forehead idk I hate the sticky texture 😞😞
