Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSSnail Secretion Filtrate (Black Snail Mucin) High %Proven
The star repair ingredient — a natural secretion from black snails (Cornu Aspersum) rich in glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, allantoin, copper peptides, and growth factors that hydrate, heal, and support collagen.
- Mechanism: Humectant action draws moisture into upper skin layers; peptides signal fibroblasts to boost collagen synthesis.
- Clinical Study: Research on Cryptomphalus Aspersa secretion shows measurable improvement in photoaged skin, wound recovery, and atopic barrier function.
- Bonus: Contains antimicrobial peptides and trace copper/zinc/iron beneficial for post-inflammatory repair.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) ~3.5–5.2%Proven
Multi-tasking active listed third on the INCI, indicating a therapeutically effective concentration. Targets uneven tone, enlarged pores, and weakened barrier function.
- Evidence: Multiple randomized studies show 2–5% niacinamide reduces hyperpigmentation, sebum production, and trans-epidermal water loss.
- Barrier Support: Stimulates ceramide synthesis for stronger skin defense.
- Well Tolerated: Stable across pH ranges and plays well with most other actives.
Truecica™ Complex (Madecassoside + Asiaticoside + Asiatic Acid + Madecassic Acid) ProprietaryProven
Some By Mi's exclusive centella-based blend with tea tree, mugwort and titrated Centella Asiatica extract — the four triterpene actives are the gold-standard "cica" compounds for barrier recovery.
- Research: Madecassoside and asiaticoside have documented anti-inflammatory, pro-collagen and wound-healing activity in clinical dermatology.
- Redness Relief: Inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines to visibly calm flare-ups.
- Synergy: Works alongside snail mucin for compounded repair effect.
Adenosine ~0.15–0.6%Proven
Cell-communicating ingredient that signals skin cells to accelerate renewal and reduce the appearance of dynamic expression lines.
- Clinical Data: A high-quality clinical trial demonstrated topical adenosine at low concentrations improved deep dynamic wrinkles on the forehead and crow's feet area.
- Anti-Aging: Considered one of the most researched anti-aging peptide alternatives in K-beauty.
Beta-Glucan & Allantoin SupportiveProven
A duo of soothing humectants. Beta-glucan (from yeast/oats) holds water up to 20× its weight; allantoin is a classic skin-softener that calms irritation and supports cell turnover.
- Hydration: Beta-glucan forms a thin hydrating film that reduces visible redness within hours.
- Keratolytic: Allantoin gently smooths rough patches without exfoliating acids.
Propolis Extract & Willow Bark Low %Promising
Bee propolis brings antibacterial flavonoids; willow bark is a natural source of salicin that helps gently decongest pores without harsh exfoliation.
- Antimicrobial: Propolis has documented activity against acne-triggering bacteria.
- Pore Care: Willow bark's salicin supports smoother skin texture at low, non-irritating doses.
Essential Oils (Bergamot, Sage, Tea Tree) TraceCaution
These botanical oils add antibacterial benefits and a faint herbal scent, but they're the main reason the product is flagged as "high irritation potential" by independent ingredient analysts.
- Bergamot: Contains furocoumarins that can be phototoxic and cause photosensitivity.
- Sage Oil: Listed as an essential oil and potential sensitizer at higher exposures.
- Tea Tree: Useful antimicrobial but not ideal for reactive or compromised skin.

Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEApply after toner, before heavier essences or creams. Follow with an occlusive moisturizer to seal in the humectants. Always use SPF during the day.
How to use
HOW TO USECleanse & Tone
Start with a clean face and apply your favorite hydrating toner to prep the skin and boost absorption.
Dispense 2–3 Pumps
The airless pump dispenses a precise amount. Warm between fingertips before application.
Pat Onto Skin
Spread evenly across face and neck, then gently pat with fingertips until fully absorbed (about 30 seconds).
Seal with Moisturizer
Follow with a moisturizer to lock in the humectant ingredients. Use AM and PM for best results.
Don't Forget SPF
Always apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ in the morning — bergamot oil can increase photosensitivity.

WHOPerfect for you if:
- You have post-acne marks or uneven skin tone
- Your barrier feels stressed or reactive
- You want a lightweight, fast-absorbing repair layer
- You love K-beauty snail-based skincare
- You have combination or oily skin
- You're targeting early signs of aging
Consider alternatives if:
- You have fungal acne (malassezia folliculitis)

Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESClear gel texture absorbs fast without leaving a greasy film. Niacinamide helps regulate sebum.
Hydrating humectants plump the skin, but you'll need a rich cream on top to lock it in.
The balanced, non-sticky finish works beautifully across both dry and oily zones.
Despite soothing Truecica™, the bergamot, sage and tea tree oils may trigger reactive skin. Patch test first.
Low comedogenic rating and propolis/tea tree offer antibacterial help — but not safe for fungal acne.
Adenosine and snail peptides offer real benefits for dynamic wrinkles and skin elasticity.

Frequently asked questions
FAQUse with caution. While snail mucin, niacinamide, centella and adenosine are generally considered safe during pregnancy, this serum contains Bergamot Fruit Oil, Sage Oil and Propolis Extract — essential oils and bee derivatives that many OB/GYNs advise avoiding during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to limited safety data. We recommend consulting your doctor before use, or switching to an oil-free snail essence like COSRX Advanced Snail 96.
No, this serum is not considered fungal-acne safe. It contains Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Propolis Extract, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract and polysorbate-type emulsifiers (C12-14 Pareth-12 / Pareth-7) that can feed Malassezia yeast. If you have fungal acne (small uniform bumps on forehead, chest or back), choose a simpler formula without these ingredients.
Yes, but with care. Apply vitamin C in the morning and this serum at night to avoid layering concerns. For retinol, AHA or BHA, alternate nights rather than layering on the same evening — the bergamot, sage and tea tree oils can increase irritation when combined with strong exfoliants. Always follow with a moisturizer and daytime SPF.
Best for combination, oily and normal skin dealing with post-acne marks, dullness or a weakened barrier. Dry skin benefits from the hydration but needs a richer moisturizer on top. Very sensitive, rosacea-prone or fungal-acne-prone skin should look elsewhere due to the essential oils and propolis.
Hydration and glow are visible from the first application. Most users report calmer, more even-looking skin within 1–2 weeks, smoother texture by week 4, and noticeable fading of post-acne marks around the 6–8 week mark. Consistent twice-daily use is key for the brightening and anti-aging benefits of niacinamide and adenosine.
Apply it after cleansing and toning, before heavier essences, ampoules or moisturizers. The lightweight gel texture is designed to be absorbed quickly, so it works as a hydrating "booster" step. In the morning, always follow with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher — bergamot oil can increase sun sensitivity.
The overall comedogenic rating is very low (approximately 1 out of 5). Snail mucin, niacinamide and centella are all non-comedogenic. The evening primrose flower extract and bergamot oil appear in trace amounts and are unlikely to clog most pores — though fungal-acne-prone skin should still avoid this formula for different reasons (see the fungal acne FAQ above).
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months, indicated by the "12M" symbol on the packaging. The airless pump design helps extend freshness by minimizing air exposure. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid direct sunlight to maximize shelf life. Unopened, the product is typically good for 30–36 months from the manufacturing date.
Verdict: Some By Mi's Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Serum is aresults-driven K-beauty hybrid that pairs high-concentration black snail mucin with a proprietary Truecica™ cica complex and a clinically meaningful dose of niacinamide — a combination rarely matched in the snail category. The lightweight gel texture, fading of post-acne marks, and visible calming effect have earned it a loyal following on YesStyle, iHerb and Amazon.However, the inclusion of bergamot, sage and tea tree essential oils holds it back from being a true "sensitive skin hero" and disqualifies it for fungal-acne and rosacea-prone users.Buy it if you have normal to combination skin, are targeting PIH marks and uneven tone, and don't react to essential oils.Skip it if you're pregnant, have fungal acne, bee allergies, or very reactive skin — consider COSRX Advanced Snail 96 or Skin1004 Centella instead.

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.
Note, that this does not include all ingredients part of the Silicone class of ingredients.
EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
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.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
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.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it 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.

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.
