feel like we're confusing tiktok virality with actual retail sales. snail mucin had its moment, but i'm watching what the brands we back are actually formulating into 2026.

  yeah but what are they actually reordering. tiktok moves inventory fast, retail commitment is different.

  my dermatologist just told me half his patients are asking about it, but yeah the Sephora floor staff i trust say it's already cooling off versus retinol noise.
