How it works
BLACK SNAIL GLUTATHIONE TONE UP SUN SPF50+ PA++++ is a sun cream from Dr.G. Dr.G is a Korean dermatology-brand skincare line, sold across several named ranges each built around one skin concern, including a blemish-focused range for oily and congested skin, a firming and glow range, and a separate sub-line for scalp and hair care. On this jar's own ingredient list, Snail Secretion Filtrate, Glutathione, Niacinamide, Sodium Hyaluronate are named directly, which is what the key-actives panel on this page is built from rather than from the product name alone. Snail Secretion Filtrate is mucin, an ingredient long associated with Korean skincare's glow and glass-skin formulas, and it is why this sun cream is positioned the way it is. Use it as the last step of a morning routine, before makeup, worked in fully before makeup or the next step. Dr.G sells this as the Korean-market formula, the same one stocked on shelves in Korea rather than a version built for the US market.
