Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Dr. G - Buy Dr. G Royal Black Snail Cream Australia - Korean Skin Care and Cosmetics" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Dr. G - Buy Dr. G Royal Black Snail Cream Australia - Korean Skin Care and Cosmetics ticks this box. Humectants in this product (arginine, glycerin, snail secretion filtrate, sucrose and glucose) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (vinyl dimethicone, arginine, beeswax, caprylic/capric triglyceride and cetearyl alcohol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
