When's the best time to use this? Am or Pm? I usually don't use a heavy cream in the AM. Is it best to use at night since it says it promotes a glow maybe overnight? Sorry if a dumb ❓ but I've never used this and don't know if it's a light cream or not. I usually use niacinamide and Neutrogena retinol cream layered also with CeraVe ultra night lotion. Should I add this to that routine or alternate? Ty

@Midmod I haven't tried the cream but I use the snail mucin as an extra layer under my moisturizer if my skin is feeling particularly dry. It would depend on your skin type and the thickness of the cream, whether it would be better used at night or in the morning.

So there's a snail cream and a snail mucin? Mine is a tube that says advanced snail 92 all in one cream. I bought it at TJM yesterday. I know I could have ordered anytime but I'd rather buy locally and not order. I get impatient always having to order and then sometimes there's shipping $$. Get tired of that 😒

@Midmod here's the one I have. You can get it on Amazon now for $15.30. It has 96% snail mucin.

I wonder what is the difference between the cream and essence and how that affects usage?

@Midmod - it's not that snail cream and snail mucin are different.  Snail Mucin is the active ingredient that gets added to make a cleanser, toner, essence, eye cream, face cream, etc.  An essence, in K-Beauty,  is kind of like a light serum.  Depending on the company, it can be watery like a toner or more like a thin gel.  I believe "ampoules" are a little more concentrated.  I use the CosRx Snail Mucin Power Essence (pictured by @Texasmouse ) as part of my PM routine.  It's more gel like. The CosRx snail line is very well liked.  It's up to you where you prefer to use the moisturizer - AM, PM, or both.

to add to @Midmod , during the day I use a face wipe and reapply, I don't think you can use it too often.
