Snail extract for skin: A review…ns, and limitations.

Findings

Snail mucin shows promise for anti-aging, hydration, acne, and scarring in early research, with a global market valued between $457 million to $1.2 billion. However, most studies are small or preclinical—meaning they haven't been tested at scale in humans yet. The researchers stress we need larger clinical trials before we can actually confirm these benefits work.
