What's in one but not the other

The two labels share 8 of the 55 ingredients between them. The actives are where they part company.

What each one adds acts on The living epidermis, The stratum corneum for CeraVe Eye Repair Cream and The stratum corneum, Not established for COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream. That is the layer each is understood to act on, not how deep it travels.

Where each label stops telling you the dose

Ingredients are listed in order of how much is inside, but only down to 1%. Below that the brand may list them in any order it likes, so the bottom of a label is a set, not a ranking. These two stop being a ranking in very different places.

15 of 22 sit below the line, marked by Carbomer. Including what it is sold on: Allantoin.

Below the line is not too little to work: ceramides, retinoids and peptides all act far under a percent. It means the position stops carrying information. Where the line falls is inferred from the first ingredient whose whole job is done at a fraction of a percent, so it is a close read of the label rather than a number from the formula sheet.

What the scene shows

The cross-section at the top of this page is not decoration and not a diagram of the skin in general: it places the molecules these two are sold on at the layer each is understood to act on. CeraVe Eye Repair Cream is placed by Niacinamide (the living epidermis), Glycerin (the stratum corneum), Ceramide 3 (the stratum corneum). COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream is placed by Hyaluronic acid (the stratum corneum), Pro-vitamin B5 (the stratum corneum), Snail Secretion Filtrate (not established). A layer is where an ingredient does its work, never how deep it travels, and never a claim about how well it works.
