Farmstay Black Snail & Peptide9 Perfect Ampoule is a Korean snail-mucin essence formulated with black snail secretion filtrate, nine peptide types, niacinamide, glycerin, adenosine, and ceramide NP. Positioned as a lightweight, fluid serum with essence-like texture, it targets hydration, elasticity, and skin-barrier reinforcement for all skin types, particularly those concerned with aging and fine lines. At $25 for 35ml (~$0.71/ml), it sits in the mid-premium range for the category and competes directly with COSRX Advanced Snail 96 and Mizon on formula complexity rather than pure mucin concentration.
