Is snail mucin just a trend—or the real skincare deal? Turns out, it’s more than hype. Snail mucin (yes, from snails!) is packed with glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, and antimicrobial peptides—a combo that helps hydrate, repair skin barriers, and improve texture.

Studies show it can increase collagen production, reduce fine lines, and even improve acne scars. One study in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment found visible improvements in skin elasticity and hydration with consistent use.

So if you’re dealing with dryness, dullness, or scarring… this might be your new skincare hero.
