Andes Natural Skin Care says it has come up with a topical treatment based on a secretion from a snail to simultaneously treat acne and clear up disfiguring acne scars.
The US company has launched a microdermabrasion product - BioSkinExfol and a topical treatment – BioSkinForte made from a serum secreted by a small mollusk snail from the Helix Aspersa Muller species.
The company said its research showed that the snail serum has molecules, structures and cells that are very similar to the human skin, making it highly compatible.
