Skin care’s surge in popularity over the past decade or so has meant that there’s no shortage of products to choose from— but that also makes it harder to filter through all of those options and land on a routine that really works for your skin. To help simplify your search and combat the myth that you need a 10-plus step routine to get results, there’s Zen Dew. The newly launched brand developed a three-product system that’s suitable for all skin types while still being capable of addressing multiple skin concerns at once. And their latest launch — a snail mucin-rich face cream that promotes smooth, bouncy skin — can currently be snagged for 20% off with the code 20ZENDEW, as can the rest of the brand’s products, which include a serum and toner.

Whether you’re looking for a moisturizer that feels light enough for daytime use or is substantial enough to help your skin recover while you sleep, Zen Dew’s Moon Milk Snail Mucin Moisturizing Glow Cream fits the bill. As its name suggests, snail mucin is the hero ingredient in here, which has been prized in Korean beauty for decades. The slimy substance is packed with compounds that benefit the skin: Chief among them is hyaluronic acid, which attracts moisture, zinc and allantoin for calming inflammation and healing skin damage, and peptides and antioxidants that are responsible for stimulating collagen production and elasticity.

In addition to a 91% concentration of snail mucin, the daily moisturizer gets more hydrating benefits from snow mushroom extract, an antioxidant-rich ingredient that also helps to protect the skin against environmental damage. And the combination of azulene and a 0.5% concentration of ectoin further helps to shield the skin from damage, while being especially soothing for those dealing with skin sensitivities like rosacea, eczema, or acne.

It's also worth noting that in an effort to be more inclusive to all skin types, the brand is just as selective about what it doesn’t contain. The moisturizer (and all of Zen Dew’s products) are free from a long list of common irritants including synthetic fragrances, dyes, alcohol, hydroquinone, and parabens. And though the moisturizer isn’t vegan because of the snail mucin, the brand does assure that all of its products are cruelty-free.
