Cos De BAHA SH Snail Mucin Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Works for
MoisturizingNiacinamide, Panthenol + 9 moreWorks well
“The SH Snail Mucin Hyaluronic Acid Serum offers anti-aging, moisturizing and soothing benefits for plump and youthful-looking skin.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, dipotassium glycyrrhizate.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide, panthenol
Anti-agingNiacinamide, Adenosine + 1 moreWorks well
“The SH Snail Mucin Hyaluronic Acid Serum offers anti-aging, moisturizing and soothing benefits for plump and youthful-looking skin.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine, niacinamide.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
Evens skin toneNot advertised by the brand · Niacinamide, Dipotassium glycyrrhizateWorks well
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: dipotassium glycyrrhizate.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-blemishNot advertised by the brand · Niacinamide, Beta-glucan + 1 moreWorks well
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.

Ingredient callouts
- A good concentration of Niacinamide (4.20% - 6.30%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
- Adenosine 0.35% - 0.80%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
- Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 2.20% - 3.20% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate in this product (0.50% - 1.20%) can also further help improve the skin barrier. It might be able to calm down inflammation and reduce sensitivity. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is an active compound from the licorice root.
- Humectants (snail secretion filtrate 83.00% (declared), sodium hyaluronate 1.30% - 2.00%, betaine 1.80% - 2.60%, panthenol 2.20% - 3.20% and glycerin 3.70% - 5.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
