I was happy to read the snails are not harmed. The Missha ones are even fed ginseng! It makes sense that the slime helps protect the shell.
Just another skin care adventure! |

I just ordered some samples from Amazon of one to try:
Missha Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Cream
We will see how it goes, but I am fascinated!
We have lots of snails at my house, which I am fond of. Since I am always moving them to keep them from harm/getting stepped on, maybe they can pay back a little good karma, haha. |

I've used the Marie Veronique eye serum which contains snail slime (ok  ...technically it is listed as Helix pomatia (edible snail)).
It's a decent product, but fairly expensive ($80 for 1 oz). I won't repurchase, it just didn't do much. I do not have sensitive skin, but there is something in here that flushes my skin (turns it pink) for about 10 minutes after using. No harm done from it, but just odd.
http://mvorganics.com/by-function/repair/eye-serum
Here are the ingredients:
Camellia sinensis (green & white tea), Citrus aurantium bigaradia (neroli) hydrosol, Vitus viniferi (grapeseed oil, expeller-pressed), emu oil, Rubus idaeus (red raspberry seed oil), Euterpe oleracea (acai oil), Actinidia deliciosa (kiwi seed oil), Rosa Rubignosa (Rosehip seed oil), Argania spinosa (argan oil), vegetable glycerin, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), kombucha extract, gotu kola extract, Gingko biloba extract, arabinogalactin, Coffea arabica (coffee fruit extract), n-acetyl glucosamine, niacinamide, Helix pomatia (edible snail), Dipotassium glycyrrhizate (licorice) extract, dimethylaminethanol (DMAE), gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA), guarana, Vacinnium myrtillus (bilberry extract), Vitamin K, Polypodium leukotomos (Calaguala fern extract), potassium sorbate, xantham gum, Cosmocil CQ*, lecithin, Lonicera japonica (honeysuckle), Rosemary oleoresin, Helichrysum italicum (helichrysum) essential oil, Cananga odorata (ylang ylang) essential oil, Curcuma longa Rhizome (Curcuma) essential oil |
That is a long list to try and pick out what caused your redness!
Anything in there aside from snail slime you have never used on your face?
|
I've used most of the oils in the past. My hunch is that it is one of the extracts - a few are unique.
I do recall seeing a couple of reviews on the eye serum previously where others mentioned the flushing.

OMG! I knew of it's use in processed foods, but a vegan drink?!? That is so wrong!  |
Not a vegan drink - but it got the vegans complaining.
This line from the article gave me a chuckle:
