Snail secretion filtrate is why this essence has stayed at the top for years. It makes up 96% of the formula, and you notice that in the texture: thick and slightly tacky in the bottle, but on the skin it settles into a layer of hydration that does not stay sticky.

The rest of the list is short: hyaluronic acid, allantoin and panthenol. Together they calm and support the skin barrier. Fragrance free, alcohol free and fungal acne safe, so it is an option if your skin reacts easily.
