Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSSnail Secretion Filtrate 95%Proven
Listed as the very first ingredient. A complex mucin naturally produced by snails, rich in glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, allantoin, and copper peptides. The backbone of this formula — hydrates, repairs, and visibly smooths.
- Clinical evidence: Studies show snail mucin helps repair damaged skin barrier and supports wound healing in atopic and post-procedure skin.
- Additional benefits: Natural allantoin content soothes; copper peptides support collagen remodeling for firmer-looking skin.
Cica Complex (Centella Asiatica) 5-in-1Proven
The rarefull-spectrum cica: whole-plant extract, leaf extract, root extract, plus the four isolated actives — asiatic acid, asiaticoside, madecassic acid, and madecassoside. Reduces redness, calms inflammation, and stimulates collagen.
- Peer-reviewed research: Asiaticoside induces cell-cycle progression, fibroblast proliferation, and collagen synthesis in human dermal cells.
- Barrier support: Standardized centella extract has been shown to accelerate post-laser wound healing in split-face clinical trials.
Triple Hyaluronic Acid Complex ~1%Proven
Three molecular weights working at three skin depths: Hyaluronic Acid (large — surface film), Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid (small — deep penetration), and Sodium Hyaluronate (medium — mid-layer hydration). Holds up to 1000× its weight in water.
- Clinical data: Multi-molecular-weight HA increases skin hydration more effectively than single-weight formulas and reduces the appearance of fine lines within weeks.
Squalane ~2–3%Proven
Plant-derived biomimetic lipid identical to skin's own sebum. Locks in moisture, softens texture, and reinforces the barrier — all without feeling greasy or clogging pores.
- Dermatology reviews: Squalane is one of the most skin-compatible emollients, with a 0 comedogenic rating and proven barrier-repair benefits.
Pine Bark Extract (Pycnogenol) <1%Promising
Antioxidant-rich extract from French maritime pine bark. Neutralizes free radicals, supports collagen, and helps even skin tone over time.
- Research: Pycnogenol has demonstrated protective effects against UV-induced oxidative stress in cell and human trials.
Birch Juice (Betula Alba) ~3%Promising
Replaces some of the water in this formula with mineral-rich white birch sap. Adds amino acids, potassium, and natural humectants for a gentler hydrating base.
- Traditional use: Long used in Korean skincare for its mild anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties.
Licorice Root Extract <1%Proven
Glabridin-containing extract that inhibits tyrosinase (the enzyme responsible for melanin production). Helps fade post-acne dark spots and uneven tone.
- Clinical evidence: Licorice extract has proven brightening and anti-inflammatory effects, often compared to hydroquinone but far gentler.

How to use
HOW TO USEStart with clean, dry skin
Complete your cleanser, toner, essence, and serum steps. Skin should be slightly damp for best absorption.
Dispense a pea-sized amount
Warm a small amount between your fingertips. The cream has a butter-like texture that melts on contact.
Press & massage in
Gently press and pat across face and neck using upward strokes until fully absorbed (about 60–90 seconds).
Follow with SPF (AM only)
In the morning, always layer a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ on top. In the evening, this is your final step.

Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESRich butter-cream texture with shea, squalane, and triple HA makes this a top choice for thirsty, flaky skin.
95% snail mucin plus humectants deliver deep, long-lasting water retention for plump, bouncy skin.
Works well for most combo skin, but may feel slightly rich on the T-zone in humid weather — use a thin layer.
Can feel heavy on oily skin. Peach Slices' Oil-Free Moisturizer version is a better fit for shine-prone complexions.
Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and packed with soothing cica — ideal for reactive, redness-prone skin.
Non-comedogenic and helps fade acne marks. Not fungal-acne safe — avoid if you get itchy, uniform bumps.
Snail mucin's copper peptides and cica's collagen-boosting effects help soften fine lines and improve elasticity.
Cica complex and snail mucin are clinically shown to accelerate barrier recovery — a top "rescue" cream.

Budget-friendly alternatives (dupes)
DUPES
The original snail mucin cream. Slightly lower snail % (92% vs 95%), lighter gel texture, and contains dimethicone. Less cica complex but equally iconic. Better for oily/combo skin.
92% snail mucin with niacinamide and adenosine added for brightening and anti-aging. Richer texture with some silicones. Great alternative for dry skin seeking extra firming benefits.
Combines 70% snail filtrate with bee venom for acne-prone skin. More focused on blemish healing than pure hydration. Contains trace fragrance from natural oils.
Layered snail+peptide serum-cream hybrid. More advanced peptide complex for firming, but significantly pricier and less moisturizing. Best as a treatment rather than main moisturizer.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes — this formula contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, chemical sunscreens, or essential oils flagged during pregnancy. The hero ingredients (snail mucin, cica, hyaluronic acid, squalane, shea butter) are all considered safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding. As always, we recommend confirming with your OB/GYN or dermatologist if you have any concerns.
No — this cream contains several ingredients that can feed Malassezia yeast, including Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Jojoba Esters, Phytosteryl Macadamiate, Sorbitan Olivate, and Sorbitan Isostearate. If you struggle with fungal acne (small uniform itchy bumps, often on forehead/chest/back), we recommend Peach Slices' Oil-Free Moisturizer or a fungal-acne-safe alternative instead.
Absolutely — this cream is actually one of the best companions for active ingredients. Snail mucin and cica are clinically shown to buffer irritation and accelerate barrier recovery. Apply your retinol, vitamin C, AHA, or BHA first, wait 1–2 minutes, then layer this cream on top to lock in hydration and reduce redness or peeling. Many users call it a "rescue cream" for exactly this reason.
This cream performs best on dry, dehydrated, sensitive, mature, and barrier-compromised skin. It's also an excellent fit for normal and combination skin. Oily skin types may find the rich butter-cream texture too heavy — in that case, consider the lighter Peach Slices Snail Rescue Oil-Free Moisturizer.
Hydration and plumping are immediate — you'll feel the difference after the first application. Visible texture improvement and calmer redness typically appear within 1–2 weeks. For fading of post-acne dark spots and noticeably brighter, firmer skin, expect 4–8 weeks of consistent twice-daily use.
Apply as the final step of your skincare routine, after cleanser, toner, essence, and serum. In the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. In the evening, this is your last step. Use AM and PM daily for best results.
No — the formula is officially non-comedogenic and rates approximately 1 out of 5 on the comedogenic scale. The only moderately pore-clogging ingredient (shea butter) sits deep in the ingredient list at a low concentration. Most acne-prone users tolerate it well; however, if you specifically suffer from fungal acne, see the FAQ above.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. To maximize shelf life, keep the tube tightly closed, store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight, and avoid exposing the nozzle to wet fingers. With twice-daily use, most customers finish the 80 g tube within 3–4 months — well before expiration.
Verdict: The Peach Slices Snail Rescue All-In-One Deep Moisture Cream is one of the best-value snail mucin moisturizers currently on the market. Its95% snail secretion filtrate concentration is among the highest available, and the addition of a full five-in-one cica complex, triple-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, squalane, and licorice root makes this far more than a basic snail cream. It's a legitimate barrier-repair treatment at a drugstore price.Highly recommended for anyone with dry, dehydrated, sensitive, or post-acne skin — skip only if you're fungal-acne prone or prefer ultra-lightweight gel textures.

Alcohol ingredients are widely used in cosmetics and come in different types. For the most part alcohols are not problematic at all. However one type of alcohols, simple alcohols can be quite drying to the skin because it evaporates very quickly. This can cause irritation which can also lead to other skin complications. These alcohols should never be used alone on your skin, but combined with other cosmetic ingredients, they are normally without issue.

Silicone-Free
Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
