MoisturizingPalmitoyl pentapeptide-4, Copper tripeptide-1 + 16 moreStrong evidence
“Mizon All in One Snail Repair Cream deeply hydrates your face while improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. ”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
snail secretion filtrate, sodium hyaluronate.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: copper tripeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4
Anti-agingAdenosine, Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 + 4 moreStrong evidence
“Snail filtrate in this repairing cream promotes cell regeneration and fades acne scars and blemishes, while peptides provide anti-aging benefits.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: centella asiatica extract, copper tripeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4.
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.
Anti-blemishCentella asiatica extract, Beta-glucan + 1 moreWeak evidence
“Mucin from snail slime helps skin regeneration, improves acne scars and blemishes during continual use.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Centella asiatica extract, Camellia sinensis leaf extract + 5 moreModerate evidence
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract, centella asiatica extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Product summary
"Mizon - All In One Snail Repair Cream Tube" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Snail secretion filtrate, sodium hyaluronate, butylene glycol, caprylyl glycol and portulaca oleracea extract in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol, hydrogenated vegetable oil, caprylyl glycol and glyceryl stearate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
- This moisturizer also contains Peptides (palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.05% - 0.20%, copper tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.45%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.10% - 0.50% and copper tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.50%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that they are helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
- Adenosine 0.10% - 0.50%. 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).
