frequently asked Questions
Is the purifying gel suitable for adolescents?
Our purifying gel is formulated to alleviate both hormonal and juvenile acne by regulating sebum production and providing a soothing and restorative action. Thanks to its high concentration of snail slime (65%) and aloe vera, it is suitable for all skin types, including younger skin.
What preservative is used in your products to preserve the snail slime extract?
We use Sodium Benzoate as a preservative to preserve our snail slime extract and products. Sodium Benzoate is one of the five preservatives authorized in the COSMOS ORGANIC certification.
Is the purifying gel not recommended for pregnant/breastfeeding women?
The purifying gel is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women due to its vitamin A content. Although vitamin A is effective against acne, in high doses it is suspected of having harmful to the embryo. The amount of vitamin A present in our purifying gel is well below the maximum doses recommended by the SCCS (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety). However, we prefer to advise against it in order to avoid potential interactions with other products, as a precautionary measure.
Response from our toxicologist: The purifying gel contains retinyl palmitate (vitamin A).
At high doses, this ingredient could have a teratogenic effect, meaning that during pregnancy, there could be harmful effects for the child.
The indication “Do not use in pregnant women” is, however, only a precaution because the vitamin A content contained in the purifying gel has been validated by the SCCS (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety).
The upper limit of exposure to vitamin A is set at 5000 IU per day.
A facial product with a concentration of 0.3% vitamin A leads to a daily exposure of 1185 IU for an adult. This exposure represents only 24% of the upper exposure limit.
Therefore the SCCS considers that the use of vitamin A in facial creams at a concentration of 0.3% is safe.
The SCCS also estimates that based on the worst-case scenario, assuming that all cosmetic products used contain vitamin A (hand cream, body products, rinse-off products, lip products) at maximum concentrations, the Exposure to vitamin A, all products combined, can lead to a total daily dose of 4855 IU maximum for an adult, which remains below the upper daily exposure limit of 5000 IU.
Should we rinse the purifying gel after application?
No, the purifying gel does not rinse off, it is applied like a classic moisturizing cream, after cleansing your face.
I'm suffering from a hormonal acne breakout and have been using your purifying gel for 21 days, but I'm not sure how effective it is. What can I add to my routine?
To complete your routine, we recommend that you first cleanse your face with our cleansing & purifying foaming gel.

In addition, we encourage you to consult our kit or our routine specially designed for acne-prone skin .

The 6 fabulous actions of snail slime
MOISTURIZING ACTION
About 80% of skin is made up of elastin and collagen. These proteins, naturally present in snail slime, provide suppleness and elasticity to the skin.
ANTI-AGING ACTION
Allantoin and the RIF1 protein act on the aging process as well as cell renewal.
PURIFYING ACTION
Antimicrobial peptides, actin, and cytokeratins serve as a fulcrum for the immune system and limit the proliferation of bacteria on the skin.
HEALING ACTION
Allantoin and hemocyanin are involved in the wound healing process and promote tissue repair.
ANTIOXIDANT ACTION
Vitamins and serine proteases reduce inflammation and neutralize the action of free radicals.
EXFOLIATING ACTION
Glycolic acid restores radiance to the complexion by eliminating dead skin and helps reduce skin spots.
