Looking for a moisturiser that genuinely repairs, hydrates and firms, without feeling heavy or greasy?
The APLB Snail Mucin Ginseng Facial Cream is built around SNAIL MU GIN CEN™ 32.7% — Snail Secretion Filtrate (5,000ppm), Panax Ginseng Root Extract (2,000ppm) and 32% Centella Asiatica Leaf Water — a trio of premium Korean skincare actives that work together to renew, firm and deeply nourish the skin with every use.
Snail Secretion Filtrate (Mucin) is packed with Chondroitin, Collagen and Elastin — naturally occurring compounds that help the skin retain moisture, repair damage and maintain suppleness. It absorbs quickly and without stickiness despite its rich, nourishing character. Panax Ginseng Root Extract stimulates collagen production, improves skin elasticity and protects against free radical damage — helping to visibly reduce fine lines and firm the complexion over time. APLB applies its own Wide-Spread Texture formulation technology to the Ginseng ingredient for enhanced delivery to the skin. Centella Asiatica Leaf Water forms the calming, barrier-repairing base, supported further by the Centella 3x Complex (Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid).
Squalane, Shea Butter, Macadamia Oil, Beeswax, Betaine, Trehalose, Hydrolyzed Collagen and Beta-Glucan complete a rich but well-balanced formula that delivers deep, long-lasting moisture without heaviness. Cosmetic ingredient safety grade 1–2. Weak acid pH. Fragrance-free. Suitable for all skin types.
How To Use
As the final step of your skincare routine, take a moderate amount and apply to the face working from the inner face outward, following the direction of your skin texture. Gently pat to aid absorption. Use morning and evening.

I'm on my second jar. It's the only cream that doesn't cause breakouts on my combination skin. Rinses off any lingering impurities perfectly.

The cream itself is 5 stars and works wonders for my skin barrier, but the delivery box arrived completely crushed and damp. Please use better shipping protection.

The texture is unique and very hydrating. My skin looks much more radiant and the fine lines around my eyes seem plumped out. It’s not greasy at all, which I love.

I was worried snail mucin would be too sticky, but this sinks right in. It leaves a lovely velvet finish. My skin feels firm and energized every morning.
