Frequently asked questions
Can I use Lactic Acid and Snail Mucin together?
Yes, and they work even better together. Snail Mucin cushions Lactic Acid: it hydrates and supports the barrier while the active does its work. That means less irritation and better results.
Which goes first, Lactic Acid or Snail Mucin?
Apply Lactic Acid first, then Snail Mucin. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Lactic Acid in the morning or at night?
Lactic Acid: best at night. Use 2–3 nights a week. It is good for beginners to exfoliation. Follow with a moisturiser, and wear SPF the next day.
Should I use Snail Mucin in the morning or at night?
Snail Mucin: works morning or night. Pat in after toner, morning and night.
