[Coxir] Black Snail Collagen Serum (50ml / 1.69 fl.oz) -|Black Beans, Collagen, Snail Mucin| firms, lift and nourish skin

Product Information

A few studies have been done on the overall effect of snail mucin and found that it helped improved the appearance of fine lines after 8 weeks of use. 3 They also noticed skin repairing properties when it was applied after a cosmeticprocedure. 4 If not, don't worry about it - they do have had one of the longest safety records as preservatives! Copper Peptide is another ingredient that caught my eyes. In addition to wound healing properties, it also helps break down unhealthy collagen in scar tissues while encouraging normal collagen growth! An old study actually compared the collagen production effect of copper peptide, vitamin c, and retinol, and yep, copper peptide won! 5 It also helps increase elastin andglycosaminoglycans producttion, both of which are important for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration. 6 Abdulghani, Ahsan A., et al. “Studies of the Effects of Topical Vitamin C, a Copper Binding Cream, and Melatonin Cream as Compared With…” ResearchGate, Elsevier, Mar. 1998, www.researchgate.net/publication/246049763_Studies_of_the_effects_of_topical_vitamin_C_a_copper_binding_cream_and_melatonin_cream_as_compared_with_tretinoin_on_the_ultrastructure_of_normal_skin. A 2007 study examined the molecular basis for the great regeneration properties of the ingredient. It found that snail slime (SS) indeed does a bunch of positive things that could be the reason for its great repair abilities. First, it has serious antioxidant properties thanks to two great antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase and glutathione s-transferase. Second, SS induces fibroblast proliferation, that's particularly important during wound healing. Third SS was also found to downregulate MMP, an evil enzyme that's out there to destroy skin-firming collagen. These properties add up to give SS not only wound healing and regenerative properties but also serious anti-aging potential.

Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products. Anyone who wants to try a snail-based serum but with a little more oomph (ie. copper peptide) and without the stringy texture. If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).

Again, no snail here, but if you want to focus on copper peptides and anti-aging in general, this is a popular and still relatively affordable option. This one has a water-like texture and won’t feel as hydrating. There's still a lot of support for avoiding parabens following the better safe than sorry route. If you do we completely support you! I would top off the toner with this emulsion, and the ingredients in the emulsion are virtually the same. Much like the toner it does enrich my skin with an extra boost of moisture that my skin loves. My skin felt soft and supple after letting it soak in the emulsion for about 30 seconds. I did notice, however, that the snail mucin was not the an active ingredient but rather the birch sap and sodium hyaluronate. Nothing to complain about since it did its job by moisturizing and still has the other ingredients, just in lower concentrations. Out of the whole line, I would say this is one item that I could probably live without but I wouldn’t say it’s terrible at the least! Obviously the star ingredient here is the Snail Secretion Filtrate, which then contains a bunch of beneficial components like glycosaminoglycans (hydrating and supports the collagen and elastin in our skin)1, hyaluronic acid, copper peptides, antimicrobial peptides, and trace minerals like copper and zinc. 2 But how do these translate when they’re bundled together in snail goo?

Regarding anti-aging, a 2013 study in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology examined the effect of SS onphotoaged skin. The 14-week, double-blind,25 participant study found that "there was a significant degree of improvement in fines lines", though the participants did not report a significant difference in the quality of their skin.

Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients. If you are concerned about the health safety of parabens, then feel free to avoid them by looking out for the Paraben-Free icon.

Not sure if it did much, but my skin definitely felt softer, and looked smoother to the eye. Very perfume-y and I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I still cannot get used to it.
