Frequently asked questions
Can I use Glycolic Acid and Snail Mucin together?
Yes, and they work even better together. Snail Mucin cushions Glycolic Acid: it hydrates and supports the barrier while the active does its work. That means less irritation and better results.
Which goes first, Glycolic Acid or Snail Mucin?
Apply Glycolic Acid first, then Snail Mucin. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Glycolic Acid in the morning or at night?
Glycolic Acid: best at night. Use 2–3 nights a week after cleansing. Skip it on nights you use retinoids. Sunscreen is non-negotiable because AHAs raise sun sensitivity.
Should I use Snail Mucin in the morning or at night?
Snail Mucin: works morning or night. Pat in after toner, morning and night.
