What the gurus are saying

A watery, lightweight toner that delivers serious hydration and plumping bounce despite its high snail content, which gurus praise for calming inflammation, reducing redness and pimple size, and speeding healing in acne-prone skin without any exfoliants. The texture surprised reviewers: fluid and easy to layer rather than thick or gel-like, making it feel refreshing even in heat. At around $12 to $14, gurus found the combination of affordability, accessibility at major retailers, and gentle effectiveness on breakouts and congestion-prone skin genuinely impressive.

"I went back to the Peach Slices Snail Rescue, which is made from snail mucin. I hadn't used it in a very long time since I usually gravitate towards vegan products, but it's niacinamide free and I had a bottle so I gave it a try. I ended up remembering why I've liked that product so much in the past."
Yay
"This one's got snail mucin extract in there, which is great for soothing skin and calming it down. And I found I think snail mucin is really nice for hydrating as well as anti-aging. It's got hyaluronic acid in it. It's got centella and vitamin E, no fragrance, no scent. Really wonderful texture, sets to a really nice finish."

"Peach Slices Snail Rescue Blemish Busting Toner, it's $ [...] 13.99. It's a hydrating toner. It's got snail mucin. It's got hyaluronic acid. And it's got Centella in there for soothing and antioxidant benefits. And snail mucin is so hydrating for your skin. So if you haven't tried it and you've got drier skin, [...] I would consider this more of their hydration line. I'm on my third bottle of it now."

"This toner uses 95% snail mucin. This is a mucin that is particularly good for calming inflammation. It's great for wound healing. It's very good if you have acne prone skin. It can take down redness. It can soothe irritated skin. It can help to heal the skin, really great overall while also containing all those great skin nutrients and components in the snail mucin that really help your complexion look very healthy. They also have a little touch of hyaluronic acid here, and Centella, which is really contributing to the blemish busting part of this toner. It's really good at reducing inflammation and redness, and it's also an antibacterial ingredient. So it's really great if you have acne prone skin. I just want to put a warning out there that if your skin dries just a little bit and then you put this on, it feels a little bit thick, so know that there's a little bit more thickness to this one. That being said, I think any skin type will enjoy it, especially if you have acne prone skin."

Ranking My Skincare Empties with Emojis! Summer '23 Edition
"Deep, deep, deep in my heart, this product lies. It is an absolute Holy Grail, one of the best, really hydrating toners. This is the Peach Slices Snail Rescue Blemish Busting Toner, and I'm going to rate this with the star eyes emoji because this really impressed me. I thought this was going to be a really thick, textured toner just because there's snail in it, I'm thinking like Cosrx snail essence, but it's actually a lot thinner and waterier than that, so it actually acts like a toner really beautifully. It sinks deeply into the skin, really hydrates it, but because there's that snail element you get that plumping kind of action, that juicy goodness, and a little bit of balance too, [...] just a little bit, that felt so refreshing in the heat of summertime especially. I've been on a real snail kick recently, it's really been helping my skin so much, and I feel like this is such a gentle way to treat breakouts, or if you have congestion prone or acne prone skin, inflammation prone skin, snail is so great for treating all of that, reducing redness, swelling of pimples, to facilitate healing."

"Peach Slices is kind of like the sister brand to Peach and Lily. This is another snail secretion product but this actually is a much lighter expression. We don't have as much of that gel-like consistency. This is more fluid, more runny, watery with just a little bounce, just a little bit of that jelly kind of feel to it, and it absorbs in the skin so well. And again, plumping hydration deep within your skin. It feels so refreshing, it makes your skin feel so good. There's no exfoliation in here, it's a very gentle toner. You could use it every single day. If you don't have acne-prone skin you will still enjoy this because it is very hydrating. It does exactly what a toner does, which is replenish and balance out the skin."
Hydrating Toners From the Drugstore! | e.l.f., Thayers, Peach Slices, Cerave
"This surprised me because when I saw the name blemish busting toner I was expecting exfoliants, maybe some salicylic acid or PHA, and I was really surprised to see no exfoliants on the ingredients list. But I get what they mean by blemish busting because we have 95% snail secretion filtrate which is amazing for breakouts. It's really a trifecta because it is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing. Antibacterial helps to make sure that bacteria isn't spreading and making the acne spread on your face. Anti-inflammation helps to reduce the size of the pimple and really the look too, because if your pimple is really inflamed it's going to go really red, snail can really help to soothe and calm that down. And then the wound healing that snail encourages is amazing for acne-prone skin because if that pimple has popped or that skin has gotten damaged from that inflammation process, snail can really help to speed that healing up."

The Best Skincare of 2023! 🎉
"The Peach Slices Snail Rescue Blemish Busting Toner has a really beautiful texture. It is a very fluidy type of toner with a little bit more body than other toners, but it's not gel-based, which surprised me given the snail secretion filtrate in the ingredients. I was really surprised to see it in this more fluidy format. It dives deep into the skin, really replenishes it, and that hint of body gives a little bit of that bouncy plumpness to the skin, which feels so good. The fact that this toner is available at my local Ulta at a very affordable price really impressed me. The affordability, accessibility, and fantastic formulation with a great star ingredient in snail make this something I'm very excited about."
September Faves | Peach Slices, By Wishtrend, The Ordinary, Unpacking Beauty Pod!
"This toner really impressed me. I picked it up at my local Ulta, I think it was about 11 dollars. It's really affordable, and I want my toners to be on the more affordable side because I go through them pretty quickly. It's that really hydrating watery toner texture which I really crave. I love that right after washing my face to put something like this on. You wash your face and it can just start to feel a little bit dry, a little dehydrated, and that first layer skincare just feels so good. This is so watery and hydrating, it dives really deep into the skin. For having a high content of snail, you would think you'd have more of a gel or like a thicker consistency, but it's not. It's still really loose and watery with just a hint of body, just a hint of plumpness. A couple layers of this, your skin is feeling hydrated, plump, replenished. You're getting antioxidant care, you're getting antibacterial care, you're getting anti-inflammation care."
Yay
"I love Peach Slices, I think they have great products pretty much all their products are pretty great. So it's 95% snail mucin concentrate, oh so it's more like an essence than it is a toner. This is the type of toner that I like, this is an exfoliating toner, and when toners have like active ingredients that's when I can get on the whole toner train. It has glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid, that is a good list, amazing ingredient list. So yes, smash."
Yay
"It's a lot less expensive, but I've been saying I need to try this because in addition to the snail secretion filtrate, which is hydrating and has compounds in it that may help with healing, it also has centella asiatica extract, a botanical ingredient that may help with healing and recovery. That's what I need to try. I've been happy with everything Peach Slices I have ever tried before."

"I like both of them, but this one is more of a liquid, less slimy. Probably too much, but it's okay."
COSRX VS PEACH SLICES 🐌 WHICH SNAIL SERUM IS BETTER? @DrDrayzday
"This is the Peach Slices Snail Rescue Blemish Busting Toner. Peach Slices is a brand I like, they have a lot of products I've favorably reviewed on this channel. This one is less expensive than the Cosrx, it's 13.99 for four ounces, so for less money you're getting a slightly larger volume of product. In addition to the snail filtrate it has hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate, and plain hyaluronic acid, plus centella asiatica extract, which may have healing and anti-inflammatory properties. When it comes to the Peach Slices product I really enjoy it, but it does not have that mucousy texture, it's more of a liquid with a little bit of viscosity, easier to spread on the skin but a bit more drippy so you can lose some product. If you are on a strict budget you're probably going to want to choose the Peach Slices one because you're saving a bit more."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
