Dear Adrienn!
A dermatological examination is necessary to determine what the spot is. A pigmentation spot itself cannot turn into a malignant lesion, but if any pigmented lesion is itchy, prone to bleeding or changes, it must be shown to a dermatologist. In the meantime, I would recommend using eco snail serum.

Dear Kinga!
For dehydrated, acne-prone skin, I usually recommend the eco snail cream, which has proven to be very effective for my patients with this skin type.
If your skin requires more intensive regeneration and hydration, then I would recommend the skin-nourishing propolis face cream which not only regenerates but also has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects, therefore it has beneficial effects on acne-prone, blackhead-prone skin.
In winter, cold weather, it's worth using the most nourishing face cream of armonía as a protective cream, the bee venom face cream if you spend a long time in cold air.
Best regards,

The word collagen is of Greek origin (kola = glue, and egonomen = produce), this compound word well expresses the purpose of collagen: it is a protein that 'glues together', 'unites' the parts of cells, promotes the formation and renewal of tissues. This very durable, fibrous protein (or protein) constitutes the largest portion of the human body's protein content, about 25% and of skin tissue it makes up 70%. Therefore, collagen is responsible for the elasticity and softness of the skin, it regenerates cells, builds joints, strengthens our bones, and together with vitamin C, it slows down the aging of the skin. However, as age progresses, its activity weakens, therefore it needs to be replenished. With the help of collagen, the skin becomes hydrated, more elastic, softer and firmer, discolorations fade, and scars and wrinkles caused by skin stretching become smoother.
It is recommended to use it once a week, but it can be used more frequently. The use of balm and other hair care products is only recommended for the ends of the hair, not near the roots, as it may reduce effectiveness.
I recommend using the Helix Active eco snail face cream and serum in combination for fading scars, blackheads, reducing surface wrinkles and for hydration. The face cream can be applied as a top layer on the serum. For reducing deeper, mimic wrinkles, I suggest the Active Snake snake venom face cream, which is better to use at night as it is a bit greasy, nourishing.

Natural acids called fruit acids, which are not exclusively produced in fruits (e.g. apples, citrus fruits, quinces, grapes…) but also in milk and sugarcane. In addition to hydrating, their most well-known property is the so-called peeling effect, that is, they stimulate the natural process of peeling, which can be disturbed due to skin aging and damage caused by sunlight. Alpha hydroxy acids (and especially glycolic acids) are indispensable for ensuring smooth and fresh facial skin, not only because they are effective against keratinization and play a major role in the removal of dead skin cells, but also because they stimulate the formation of collagen responsible for skin elasticity and beauty, and they also have spot-reducing properties by speeding up the fading of the pigment substance, the so-called melanin dye cell, formed by the sun. In summary: alpha hydroxy acids increase blood flow, stimulate circulation, reduce wrinkles, dissolve surface keratin and improve the skin's water-binding - that is, moisturizing - ability. Their exfoliating and skin renewing effect appears almost within days, but the complete renewal of the skin takes place over a 28-day cycle. During this time, the skin "renews", the process of keratin formation takes place, the skin regenerates. Although under different names, the use of AHA acids goes way back. Cleopatra bathed in sour donkey milk, the ladies of the Sun King's court washed with grape juice, and in the old Hungarian villages, the bride received a grated apple mask so that she would be led to the altar with a velvety and fresh face the next day. Nowadays there are very effective, concentrated AHA- creams, which, however, due to the strong peeling effect making the skin thinner and more sensitive, it is advisable to consult with a beautician or dermatologist. These exfoliating creams should never be used around our eyes. It is also worth paying attention to whether the alpha hydroxy acid in our skincare product is of natural origin. Because there are synthetic products as well, and it is not at all the same which one we use. The Armonía snail products (both the Genuine and the Armonía natural brand Helix Aspersa product lines) contain alpha hydroxy acids in a ratio that fully ensures the skin regenerating effect, but cannot cause the itching or skin redness that sometimes occurs with AHA treatments.
The vitamin known mainly as biotin belongs to the family of B vitamins and, as such, is soluble in water. Biotin is the protective vitamin of the epithelial tissue, an important enzyme of bacteria and yeasts. Similar to B vitamins, it participates in the breakdown of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, aids in the utilization of proteins, folic acid, pantothenic acid, and B12, and plays an important role in the production of essential fatty acids for the skin and hair. It is highly valued in cosmetics because it ensures healthy skin, hair, and nails, but it is also indispensable for the eyes and liver. It can improve the condition of eczema and skin inflammations and increases the insulin sensitivity of cells, which can be useful for diabetics. Its deficiency reduces the resistance of the epithelial tissue, the skin dries out, becomes scaly, in more severe cases inflammations can occur, hair loss can occur, it can reduce sexual desire, and can even cause spinal cord problems. Regular alcohol consumption makes it difficult to absorb biotin, while smoking requires a larger intake.
Its natural sources are liver, kidney, egg yolk, yeast, sardines, cottage cheese, cauliflower, spinach, banana, hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds, beans, soybeans, cereals, unpolished rice, mushrooms. Few H-vitamins can be found in fruits and meats.
A natural polysaccharide that can be found in all tissues. In the human body, among other things, it has a water-binding role and lubricates the joints and muscles. 56% of the hyaluronic acid in the human body is found in the connective tissues of the skin, 35% in the muscles and bones, and the remaining 9% in the synovial fluid, blood and lymph. As age progresses, the quantity of hyaluronic acid decreases in the body, leading to a reduction in the volume of the connective tissue, thereby leading to a deterioration in skin tone and deepening wrinkles. Its consistency and tissue-friendly nature make it suitable for inclusion in numerous pharmaceutical products, particularly in ophthalmic and osteoarthritis-related products. Thanks to its special water-binding ability - a single molecule can retain 1000 water molecules - it is used very effectively in cosmetics to fill wrinkles, lift sagging neck skin, tighten décolletage, and even for lip augmentation. Hyaluronic acid can be obtained from tissues with a high hyaluron content (e.g. rooster comb), or it can be produced by bacterial fermentation. It is a common component of moisturizing, wrinkle-smoothing creams, but due to its high production cost, it is usually only present in negligible amounts.

I would recommend the use of Helix Active Eco Snail Cream, possibly combined with Snail Serum. It has a special regenerative effect, deep hydration, fully rebuilds the skin and smoothes surface wrinkles. It also contains wound healing, anti-inflammatory ingredients, so it can be used for problematic skin as well. It lightens spots and potential skin imperfections. Additionally, if needed, I recommend the Active Snake Venom Face Cream for filling in deeper/expression lines. It has a unique lifting and wrinkle-filling effect, a noticeable effect can be achieved within a few hours. Start facial care by using the Eco Snail Micellar Facial Cleanser, the face cream can be applied a few minutes later. I recommend the serum for night use and the face cream for daytime use. The serum can also be used during the day, but a layer of face cream is recommended on top, especially in the cooler months. As a supplement to facial care, I would recommend a regulatory facial mask or seaweed facial mask for pore cleansing/tightening, or an extra hydrating facial mask for deep hydration, no more than once or twice a week.
As a skin renewal and skin nourishment, I would recommend the Armonía Helix Active Eco Snail Cream, which can also be used effectively on problematic skin. This face cream contains marigold extract, which has excellent anti-inflammatory effects and can be beneficial even on a rosacea, seborrheic, eczema area. I would supplement the day-night use of the Helix Active Eco Snail Cream with the use of the Helix Active Eco Snail serum at night, which could achieve even more intensive gentle exfoliation and skin renewal. The snail saliva rebuilds and nourishes the skin in its full depth, and also fills up the wrinkles and reduces the skin defects. Arctiszt I would recommend using eco snail micellar face wash for cleansing. It is important not to use peeling, skin scrub as it would irritate your skin.
As a treatment, it is worth applying the Armonía Helix Active eco snail serum to the red spots which also contains marigold, it has excellent wound healing and anti-inflammatory effects. If your skin also needs more intensive hydration, I would supplement the use of the serum with the Armonía Helix Active eco snail cream.
