Whether I’ve had a facial treatment or just applied a new vitamin C serum with too much gusto, my skin reacts to any attention thrown its way. All you have to do is touch me with any mild level of pressure, and I look like a ripe beet. Don’t even get me started on how my face looks post-hot-pilates. While my skin could also be considered sensitive, it reacts to just about any stimulus, so any time I have a facial or beauty treatment done, I always warn my aestheticians ahead of time so they don’t think I’ve suffered a severe allergic reaction under their care. I had always avoided more “invasive” non-invasive skin procedures like microneedling in the past out of fear that the resulting redness and inflammation would take days to subside until I learned about Biopelle’s post-procedure-friendly skincare line—specifically, its bestselling hero product: the Tensage Intensive Serum 40.
Biopelle’s clinically proven line of aesthetician-approved skincare products is powered by stem cells ethically derived from the secretion and eggs from the Cryptomphalus aspera snail. While snail mucin (a common ingredient in Korean beauty products) is having a moment in the skincare space right now, this isn’t your basic mystery snail mucus you can find in any $18 essence on Amazon—this mucin comes from a snail who went to Harvard, owns a yacht, and flies private only. I’m kidding, but the point is that this type of snail Biopelle taps for its formulas is special).
