Product overview
3W Clinic Snail Sheet Mask (25ml) is a sheet mask from the Korean brand 3W Clinic, whose trademark is registered to Xai Cosmetics Korea Co., Ltd, South Korea, per the Justia trademark database.
Sourcing note -- significant sibling-product naming ambiguity: 3W Clinic sells at least two distinct snail-themed sheet masks that could both match this catalog's generic name: an "Essential Up Snail Sheet Mask," sold at 25ml (matching the catalog's stated size, per a Bangladeshi retailer), and a "Fresh Snail Sheet Mask," sold at 23ml/23g. Because the catalog listing omits the "Essential Up" or "Fresh" qualifier, this entry is written to match the 25ml size, corresponding to the Essential Up Snail variant, but this could not be confirmed with full certainty. Additionally, a genuine ingredient-panel discrepancy exists between the two variants: the Essential Up Snail panel (per incidecoder.com) does NOT literally list "Snail Secretion Filtrate" among its ingredients despite the "snail" branding, while the Fresh Snail panel (per Shajgoj) does include Snail Secretion Filtrate in an otherwise nearly identical formula. Both are disclosed below rather than merged.
Key Ingredients
Sourcing note: the following reflects the Essential Up Snail panel (matching the 25ml size), per incidecoder.com, with the Fresh Snail variant's differing panel noted separately:
- Sodium Hyaluronate -- a form of Hyaluronic Acid, for hydration
- Betaine, Arginine, Allantoin -- humectant and soothing components
- Ubiquinone -- an antioxidant ingredient, present in the Essential Up Snail panel
- Snail Secretion Filtrate -- present in the differently-named "Fresh Snail" sibling product's panel, but NOT literally listed in the Essential Up Snail panel sourced above -- this is a real ingredient-panel/branding discrepancy, disclosed rather than resolved
- Also contains (Essential Up Snail panel): Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Alcohol, Carbomer, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Disodium EDTA, Perfume
Key Features
- Hypoallergenic 100% cotton sheet, per retailer marketing
- Marketed around snail mucin/secretion-based skincare positioning for repair, regeneration, moisture, and elasticity, per retailer copy -- though, as noted above, the exact ingredient panel matching this SKU's size does not literally list a snail-derived ingredient
Benefits
- Marketed to help repair and regenerate skin
- Marketed to improve moisture and elasticity
- Marketed to help with signs of photo-aging and acne-related skin concerns
Who Can Use This Product
- Those seeking a hydrating, repair-focused sheet mask, per the brand's marketing
- Those with known sensitivities to Methylparaben, fragrance (Perfume), or any ingredient listed above should patch test before regular use, particularly given the sibling-product naming ambiguity described above
How to Use
Per retailer information: apply the sheet mask to a cleansed face, leave on for 15-30 minutes, then remove and gently pat any remaining essence into the skin. Use 1-3 times weekly.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse with water if contact occurs. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
