There's no tackiness. There's no stickiness. Doesn't smell like some snail mucin serums can. It's just really, really nice. I love it."

"This one from VEGREEN is actually coming from wild yam extract. But the benefits here are similar if you're familiar with snail mucin. It's still really great for wound healing. It's great for deep hydration in the skin. It's great for anti-inflammatory benefits, antioxidant benefits, skin protective benefits, well-aging benefits. [...] You can still get those benefits when you derive it from a plant source like wild yam extract. So 68% of that here."

"You're supposed to use it every other day basically, but it takes time to see results. You're not going to see results overnight. This is something it takes 3 to 6 months. I've been using it for years, but except for the past couple months and I'm just trying my hardest to get back into it."

"It's a snail mucin alternative, a vegan product for people who don't want to use snail mucin products, using wild yam instead which is meant to give similar results, and it is very very well done. It dries down faster on my skin than the alternative I compared it to. [...] You don't need to buy both, buy whichever one suits you, but if you [...] want vegan skincare this is a great option."

What the evidence says.

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Source: DermNet

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

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.
