"The snail mucin glow, minus the snail. Plant-based and under $16."
Our take

The short answer

Byoma's Phyto-Mucin Glow Serum uses a plant-based alternative to snail mucin, made from Japanese roots and plants, with panthenol and a Tri-Ceramide Complex. It's worth it if you want bouncy, glowy-looking skin and keep your routine vegan. It also works as a primer under makeup.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it: It gives the trend a vegan option at a fair price. The non-sticky texture absorbs fast and preps skin for makeup.
Skip it if: You already love your snail mucin and don't care about it being animal-derived.
The catch: Glow serums give a temporary, surface-level look. Don't expect it to replace targeted actives.
