Moisturizing4 ingredients credited for this claimGood support
“Contains Snail Secretion Filtrate to hydrate and nourish the skin and leave skin soft and healthy.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": snail secretion filtrate, propylene glycol.
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).
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNo support
“Brand from South Korea Farm Stay. Benefits This peeling gel helps to create radiant skin by removing old dead skin cells.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals.
