96% snail secretion filtrate as the first ingredient means this is essentially a snail mucin delivery system with supporting actors — that concentration is genuinely high and not common, so the repair and hydration claims here are credible. The formula is intentionally minimal, which is smart: snail mucin works best when it's not competing with a long list of actives. Worth noting the pH sits at 6.5–7.5, which is on the higher end for an essence — fine for most skin types, but if you're layering actives like vitamin C or AHAs, apply those first and let this follow as your repair and moisture step.
