SEOUL 1988 Essence : Snail Mucin 97% + Rice

A Soothing Essence with 97% Snail Mucin and Rice Extract

This soothing essence is formulated with 97% snail secretion filtrate. Snail mucin delivers a surge of hydration to sensitized skin while calming irritation, and rice extract helps refine skin tone and texture for a smoother finish. With added hyaluronic acid, allantoin, and panthenol, it addresses both hydration and soothing care in one step.

Gentle Formula with Non-Irritation Certification

This essence received a non-irritation rating in a 24-hour human patch test conducted by the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences. The formula excludes common allergens, harsh alcohols, fragrance, parabens, silicones, and artificial colorants, making it suitable for sensitive skin. The snail mucin is harvested using cruelty-free methods that do not cause stress to the animals.

For All Skin Types Concerned with Dullness and Dryness

Recommended for anyone dealing with dryness, a dull complexion, or uneven texture. As a gentle essence, it's suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone skin. After toning, dispense an appropriate amount and smooth it over your face and neck. Instead of rubbing, gently pat it in with your fingertips to help the snail mucin's hydrating benefits absorb more effectively.

After toner, before serum

This is an essence designed to be used after cleansing and toning, but before your serum or moisturizer. Formulated with 97% snail mucin and rice extract, it helps deliver hydration and smooth skin texture. For best absorption, apply it right after toning while your skin is still damp.

Morning and evening use

This product has been tested and rated non-irritating, so you can easily incorporate it into your daily routine, both morning and night. In the morning, use it as a hydrating base before makeup. In the evening, let it help calm skin after a long day.

Pat gently onto damp skin

Dispense an appropriate amount into your palms, spread it over your face and neck, then gently pat it in with your fingertips rather than rubbing. Snail mucin absorbs more effectively with a tapping motion than with massage. Start with a small amount, and if needed, apply a second layer.

Routine pairings by skin concern

• Dry and dull complexion: Layer hydration with a rich toner → this essence → a moisture cream

Patch test recommended before first use

If you have sensitive skin, test a small amount on the inside of your arm before full application. If you experience redness or discomfort during use, discontinue and consult a dermatologist. After opening, store in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
