What's in one but not the other

The two labels share 3 of the 52 ingredients between them. The actives are where they part company.

What each one adds acts on The stratum corneum, Not established for COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream and The stratum corneum, Not established for La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+. 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.

3 of 33 sit below the line, marked by Tocopherol.

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.

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. 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).
