General rule: apply thinnest/most active ingredients first, thicker/occlusive ingredients last.
humectant
Snail mucin is one of K-beauty's most iconic — and most debated — ingredients. The evidence suggests genuine hydrating and wound-healing properties from its glycoprotein, glycolic acid, and hyaluronic acid content, but the clinical data specifically for skin application is more limited than the hype implies.
soothing
Centella asiatica is the ingredient behind the 'cica' trend in K-beauty, and for once the hype is largely justified. With solid clinical evidence for wound healing, anti-inflammatory activity, and collagen synthesis support, it's one of the best-studied botanical ingredients in dermatology.
