5.0 average· 3 reviews on this pageComplete the routine


Snail & Ceramide Gel is the light-texture moisturiser in the Snail & Ceramide range. Snail mucin, sodium hyaluronate and a ceramide complex lead, with niacinamide, licorice, allantoin, squalane and vitamin E in support, as printed on the tube. A 50 mL tube for twice-daily use.

FOR SKIN THAT FEELS DRY BUT HATES HEAVY CREAM
Gel moisturisers suit people who want hydration without the feel of a cream: oily or combination skin, humid weather, or anyone layering under sunscreen. Snail mucin and ceramides give this one its purpose.
A lightweight gel that absorbs and leaves no film, which is what the one published review describes.
Snail mucin is known for a hydrating, comforting feel; ceramides are the lipids the skin barrier is made of. They are the range's signature.
Sodium hyaluronate is the humectant known for binding water to the skin surface.
Niacinamide is known for its role in even-looking tone and barrier comfort; licorice extract for its brightening reputation. Both are listed in the composition.
Allantoin is known for a soothing feel, squalane for light emollience and vitamin E as an antioxidant.
A gel sets quickly, so it works as the morning step before SPF.
TWO HERO MOISTURISERS · FIVE SUPPORTING INGREDIENTS
The tube prints the full composition. Open each card for what the ingredient is known for, without pretending that a reputation and a measured result on this tube are the same thing.
Snail mucin is known in Korean skincare for a hydrating, comforting feel on skin. It leads this gel. This card describes the ingredient, not a measured result on this tube.
Ceramides are the lipids that make up much of the skin's own barrier. In a moisturiser they are known for a comfortable, less-dry feel.
Sodium hyaluronate is the water-binding humectant that gives gel moisturisers their plump, light feel.
Niacinamide is a well-studied vitamin known for its role in barrier comfort and even-looking tone. It is a supporting ingredient here; no percentage is printed.
Licorice root extract is known for its brightening reputation and a soothing character. The tube lists it in a supporting role.
Allantoin is known for a soothing, skin-comforting feel and is widely used in products for easily irritated skin.
Squalane is a light, non-greasy emollient close to the skin's own sebum lipids. It gives the gel a little slip without heaviness.

WHAT A GEL MOISTURISER DOES THAT A CREAM DOES NOT
Creams moisturise mostly by sealing. Gels moisturise mostly by holding water with humectants, which is why they feel light and sit well under other products. Sodium hyaluronate and snail mucin are the humectants here; ceramides and squalane add a little of the sealing side.
The listing promises a great deal. This page keeps to what the ingredients are known for and what the one published review describes: a soothing, non-sticky gel that layers under sunscreen.
THE TWICE-DAILY GEL
The tube directs a small quantity on fingertips, massaged in circular motion and left to absorb for a few minutes before other products, twice daily. Patch test before first use.
Wash with a face wash and pat dry, as the tube directs.
Take a little on fingertips, spread evenly and massage in circular motion.
Wait a few minutes before sunscreen or make-up. Use twice daily; follow the current tube.
