This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with acne-prone skin: breakouts, blackheads, and post-acne marks. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for acne-prone skin; other moisturizers fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Highly suitable for your combination skin due to snail secretion filtrate and glycerin, which offer humectant action and support barrier repair.
- The presence of snail secretion filtrate and hyaluronic acid provides moderate moisturizing and smoothing benefits, which are supportive for acne-prone skin but do not directly target acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The product is safe for your skin as it lacks prohibited or harsh ingredients, posing no risk of irritation.

## What the research says

- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- Cruelty-free extracted snail slime promotes fibroblast viability, triggers recovery through Erk protein activation, reduces cyclooxygenase-2 expression, and increases angiopoietin 1 gene expression and collagen I release in skin cell populations. ([Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36770889/))
- Topical hyaluronic acid filler serum combined with Botulinum toxin type A lengthened the duration of the toxin's effect in reducing wrinkles compared to Botulinum toxin type A alone. ([Dermatologic Therapy, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36200921/))
- A facial serum containing snail secretion filtrate, Calendula officinalis, and Glycyrrhiza glabra root extract significantly reduced inflammatory acne lesions compared to placebo in 66 participants with mild-to-moderate maskne over 12 weeks. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35763437/))
- HelixComplex snail mucus protected human keratinocytes and reconstructed human epidermis models from ozone-induced oxidative damage and pro-inflammatory response following exposure to 0.5 ppm ozone for 2 hours. ([PloS One, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32084249/))

([Veterinary Sciences, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34437489/))
- The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.

## Why other moisturizers fit acne-prone skin better

- Gluconolactone 14% solution significantly improved mild to moderate acne by reducing inflamed and non-inflamed lesions similarly to 5% benzoyl peroxide, but with fewer side-effects in 150 patients. ([The Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 1992](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1303072/))
- A Tris/Arg-formulated cleanser significantly decreased noninflammatory and inflammatory acne and pore size with keratotic plugs compared to an AEC/AC cleanser in male Thai subjects with mild to moderate acne over 4 weeks.

## What reviewers say

Based on limited data, this serum is praised for its lightweight, non-sticky texture and its ability to provide moisture and a radiant glow, often described as achieving 'glass skin'. However, the inclusion of fragrance and a moderate rating compared to competitors suggest it may not be ideal for sensitive skin or those seeking significant treatment results.

- Liked: Hydration and glow (often mentioned)
- Liked: Lightweight texture (often mentioned)
- Liked: Pleasant scent (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Contains fragrance (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Mediocre efficacy (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Potential irritants (rarely noted)

## How to apply

- Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help keep breakouts under control.
- Apply after your cleanser and toner, and make sure to use your SPF right after in the morning.
- Gently spread a small amount of moisturizer over your face using soft motions. Let it absorb into the skin for a minute before getting dressed or applying makeup.
- Apply on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. This keeps your combination skin balanced without feeling heavy.
- Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use. Stop using if you feel any irritation.

## Questions and answers

### How well does PRETTYSKIN Snail Multi Serum work for acne-prone skin?

PRETTYSKIN Snail Multi Serum works for your acne-prone skin, though other products fit it better because they target acne and breakouts directly. This serum contains Snail Secretion Filtrate and Glycerin, which help keep your skin soft and hydrated without causing irritation. A product of this type needs effective ingredients like Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid that provide excellent benefits for acne and hydration while controlling excess oil.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for acne-prone skin?

Snail Secretion Filtrate and glycerin make this serum work for your acne-prone skin because they draw in moisture and help repair your skin barrier, though a product of this type needs ingredients like Niacinamide and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid to directly target acne and provide optimal hydration without excess oiliness.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Snail Secretion Filtrate do for acne-prone skin?

Snail Secretion Filtrate helps calm acne-prone skin and reduces breakouts when you have blemishes or maskne. It has a great safety profile and is unlikely to cause irritation while supporting clearer skin.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35763437/)

### What does Glycerin do for acne-prone skin?

Glycerin helps keep acne-prone skin hydrated and calm without clogging pores or feeling heavy. It supports the skin barrier so it stays soft and smooth while handling everyday treatments.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [International Journal of Toxicology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31840548/)

### Where does this serum go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?

This treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before moisturizing, though acne-prone skin needs a product that directly targets blemishes and breakouts with dedicated acne-fighting ingredients.

### Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this treatment alongside retinol, applying it right after your retinol step to help keep your skin comfortable and hydrated. This type of skin needs a product that also includes soothing, blemish-targeting ingredients to fully support breakout-prone skin while using retinol.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [The Journal of Dermatology, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24930436/)

### How often should I use it?

You can use this treatment in your evening routine, applying it once a day. This product works for your skin, but an acne-prone skin needs a product of this type to include ingredients that directly target breakouts and blemishes.

### Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?

This serum is unlikely to cause irritation on acne-prone skin because it avoids harsh ingredients, but it does not directly target breakouts. Because it offers only moderate moisturizing benefits, acne-prone skin still needs ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to effectively clear blemishes.

### Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?

This product is safe to use around the eyes and on the body because it lacks harsh ingredients and poses no risk of irritation. The thin skin around the eyes and different body areas benefit from moisture and barrier support provided by ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid.
