What the product description says
“This cushiony, quick-absorbing serum delivers a concentrated dose of fast-acting 95% snail mucin to help tackle dehydration, dark spots, zits, and more.”
Source: Peach & Lilly

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid.

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: madecassoside

    Feels cooling and calming to the skin, absorbs immediately - a gel type hyaluronic acid feel - I like the Cica ingredient and hopefully it is antibacterial and anti inflammatory like it says it is
