Jade Gua Sha Set: Roller and Facial Stone Kit The Jade Gua Sha Set includes 3 facial rollers, a gua sha stone, and a cleaning brush, designed for those who enjoy a relaxing facial massage as part of their skincare routine. The cool stone and roller glide over the face, neck, and eye area with gentle pressure. These types of tools are part of traditional wellness practices and have become popular as a sensory self-care ritual, rather than a treatment with medical results. What the evidence says about gua sha Available studies on gua sha and facial rollers show modest and primarily temporary results. The cooling sensation of the stone can produce brief vasoconstriction that helps reduce morning puffiness for a few hours—a mechanical and transient effect, not a lasting "firming" of the skin. Dermatological reviews indicate that there is no solid evidence that these tools reduce wrinkles, stimulate collagen, or permanently change facial structure. A recent controlled trial found contour changes of just 2 to 2.4 mm after 8 weeks of consistent use—a real but very small magnitude result. The Jade Gua Sha Set should be presented as a massage and wellness experience, not as a proven anti-aging treatment. How to use it Apply a facial oil or serum before starting, so that the stone and roller glide without dragging the skin. Slide the gua sha stone with gentle pressure, in upward motions from the center of the face towards the ears and neck. Use the larger roller on cheeks and forehead, and the smaller end around the eyes with minimal pressure. Dedicate 5 to 10 minutes to the session, without excessively repeating the same movement over the same area. Clean the stones after each use with the included brush and a soft cloth. Store the stones in the refrigerator if you like an additional cooling effect at the start of the session. What the set includes 3 rollers of different sizes: to adapt to different areas of the face and neck. Gua sha stone: flat piece for gliding massage. Cleaning brush: included to keep the stones in good condition. Jade-like material: smooth and cool to the touch. Precautions The Jade Gua Sha Set is not a substitute for medical or dermatological treatments. Avoid using it on skin with active rosacea flare-ups, eczema, wounds, sunburn, or immediately after aesthetic procedures such as Botox or fillers. Clean the stones before and after each use to prevent bacterial buildup, as porous surfaces can be a source of contamination if not properly cared for. Always apply gentle pressure; excessive friction can irritate the skin or break capillaries. A calming facial treatment, without promising magic: just a good massage and five minutes for yourself.

COSRX Snail Mucin Essence 96 The Snail Mucin Essence 96 is COSRX's Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, one of the most renowned essences in Korean skincare. Its formula contains 96.3% snail secretion filtrate along with sodium hyaluronate, betaine, allantoin, and panthenol. Its light gel texture is easily absorbed and can be used morning and night, after cleansing and toning, as a pre-moisturizer step. It is a common formula in routines aimed at hydration and skin barrier care. Results backed by the brand According to a clinical study by COSRX conducted by the Dermacosmetic Skin Science Laboratory in Korea with 20 adult participants, Snail Mucin Essence 96 showed a 196% increase in skin hydration, a 35% increase in natural radiance, and an 80% reduction in visible redness after use. As this study was conducted and funded by the manufacturer with a small sample size, it should be presented as an informative reference and not as a guarantee of individual results. The snail secretion filtrate acts as a humectant and antioxidant in the formula, and is combined with sodium hyaluronate to enhance the feeling of hydration. Independent scientific evidence on snail mucin in humans is still limited, so no cosmetic product should be presented as a substitute for dermatological treatment. How to use it Cleanse your face and apply your usual toner. Dispense 2–3 pumps of Snail Mucin Essence 96 onto the palm of your hand. Apply to face and neck with small taps of your fingertips. Gently press to promote absorption, avoiding direct contact with the eyes. Finish with your usual moisturizer. You can use it in the morning and at night. If you experience any discomfort when introducing it into your routine, reduce the frequency to once a day while observing your skin's tolerance. Featured ingredients Snail secretion filtrate (96.3%): main ingredient of the formula. Sodium hyaluronate: form of hyaluronic acid present in the essence. Betaine: humectant included in the formula. Allantoin and panthenol: supporting ingredients for skin comfort. Arginine: amino acid present in the formulation. Precautions The Snail Mucin Essence 96 is for external use only. Perform a patch test before introducing it into your routine, especially if you have sensitive skin or a known allergy to mollusks or their derivatives. Do not use on broken skin, open wounds, or active irritation. Discontinue use if itching, burning, or persistent redness occurs and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms continue. Well-cared-for skin, no drama: pure Korean science with a touch of Carioca calm.

Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm The Radiance Cleansing Balm by Beauty of Joseon is a balm-type makeup remover that melts onto dry skin during massage. It is designed to help remove makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum as the first step in a double cleansing routine. Its solid texture transforms into oil upon contact with the warmth of the hands and, when water is added, emulsifies to facilitate rinsing. The format includes a spatula to hygienically scoop the product and apply a comfortable amount before facial massage. Two-step Cleansing The Cleansing Balm combines rice bran water and oil, sea buckthorn oil, ginseng seed oil, and a complex of cereal extracts. It also includes Lactobacillus ferment and soybean ferment among its formula components. Use it especially at night, when you need to remove sunscreen residue, foundation, mascara, or other products from the day. After rinsing, you can continue with a water-based cleanser to complete the double cleanse, depending on your routine's needs. How to use it With clean hands and a dry face, take a small amount with the spatula. Warm the product between your fingertips and apply it to a dry face. Gently massage to help dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and impurities. Add a few drops of lukewarm water and continue massaging until the balm emulsifies. Rinse with plenty of lukewarm water. Finish with a water-based cleanser if you wish to perform a double cleanse. Avoid rubbing intensely, especially around the eyes and lips. For stubborn makeup, gently massage the area for a few seconds before emulsifying and rinsing. Featured Ingredients Rice bran water and oil: characteristic ingredients of the formula. Cereal complex: includes oat, rice, and Job's tears seed extracts. Ginseng seed oil: vegetable oil present in the formula. Sea buckthorn oil: emollient ingredient included in the product. Ferments: includes Lactobacillus ferment and soybean ferment. Precautions The Cleansing Balm is for external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes; if it occurs, rinse with plenty of water.
