Frequently asked questions
Can I use Adapalene and Snail Mucin together?
Yes, and they work even better together. Snail Mucin cushions Adapalene: it hydrates and supports the barrier while the active does its work. That means less irritation and better results.
Which goes first, Adapalene or Snail Mucin?
Apply Snail Mucin first, then Adapalene. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Adapalene in the morning or at night?
Adapalene: best at night. Apply a thin layer to the whole acne-prone area at night, not just on spots. Expect a purge for 4–6 weeks. Use a moisturiser and daily SPF.
Should I use Snail Mucin in the morning or at night?
Snail Mucin: works morning or night. Pat in after toner, morning and night.
Is Adapalene with Snail Mucin safe during pregnancy?
Adapalene is generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Ask your doctor about safer alternatives such as azelaic acid or bakuchiol.
