Why we like it
Snail mucin is such an iconic K-beauty ingredient and we are thrilled to see it in this cleanser from Tia’m. The snail mucin and other hydrating and moisturising ingredients make sure that your skin feels comfortable, moisturised and not tight after cleansing.
Ingredients We Love
Snail Secretion Filtrate -If you are into K-Beauty, you must have bumped into snail slime like a thousand times. Korean brands love the ingredient and tout it for its miraculous repair and hydration properties. It’s claimed to be able to repair everything from dry patches, acne breakouts to signs of aging and we are happy to say that it might just be true.
Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Oil – Loaded with the famous anti-inflammatory agent, bisabolol (approx. 50%) and contains 5% of soothing, antiallergic and blue color giving chamazulene. It has fantastic anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
Allantoin – Super common soothing ingredient. It’s not only soothing but it’ also skin-softening and protecting and can promote wound healing.

I never knew a gel cleanser could be so gentle. I’ve mostly stayed away from gel cleansers because my skin is always so red and inflamed after using them (from normal western skincare). I decided to try K-Beauty and this was the first cleanser I bought.
What incredible value for money too because the packaging is huge. Now I’m really curious about the rest of the “Snail & Azulene” range from TIA’M because I am so impressed with this cleanser.

Nice enough cleanser. It can be a bit irritating on the eyes, but it won’t dry out the skin.

I loved the texture and foaminess of this cleanser and how it felt on my skin. However, it made my face too dry. I could only use it for a week, and the rest went to waste since it comes in such a big container.
