A 90 g patch, formulated to hold water in the surface, calm the look of redness and even out the look of tone.
The actives, near the top of the list
Snail Secretion Filtrate and Niacinamide sit at number 3 and number 4 of 21 — an ingredient list runs in order of quantity, so those are among the largest parts of what is in the bottle.

Key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it is, and what it is used for |
|---|---|
| Snail Secretion Filtrate | Filtrate of snail secretion. Listed as skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous). |
| Niacinamide | Nicotinamide (vitamin B3). Studied for signalling to skin cells rather than sitting on top; studied for evening out tone; studied for breakout-prone skin. |
| Adenosine | Purine nucleoside. Studied for signalling to skin cells rather than sitting on top. |
| Allantoin | Heterocyclic diureide. Used to calm irritation. |
| Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate | Water-soluble dipotassium salt of glycyrrhizic acid. Listed as sweetener, skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous). |
| Glycerin | Polyol. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Betaine | Amino acid derivative from sugar beet. Used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Butylene Glycol | Diol. Used to pull in water and hold it; dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
| Sucrose | Disaccharide. Listed as sweetener, humectant. |
| Cellulose Gum | Plant-derived polysaccharide fibre. Listed as absorbent, bulking agent, slip modifier. |
| Water | Solvent. Dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
| 1,2-Hexanediol | Diol. Dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
How the formula works together
Three groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Humectants — Glycerin, Betaine and Butylene Glycol — draw water into the surface. Allantoin works on the look of redness. Niacinamide works on the look of unevenness.
Humectants and calming ingredients cover each other. Skin that has lost water looks redder and more textured than it is, so putting water back is half of how a formula settles the look of a difficult day.
How to use it
- Apply the hydrogel patches to the desired area using the tweezers contained inside.
- Remove after 20-30 mins.
- Soothes damaged skin and delivers moisture deep into your skin
