There are rarely any shortcuts in skincare; the most impressive results come from consistent, long-term commitment.
However, sometimes the right additions to your routine can bring an unexpected glow, brightening your complexion in ways you didn’t anticipate.
A skincare enthusiast on TikTok recently claimed she achieved "glassy" skin in just one week through a specific trio of products.
Cristina Noh, 53, claimed that snail mucin, skin polish, and creatine masks offer notably quick improvements.

The first recommended product in the line-up, snail mucin, has become a staple in Cristina's daily skincare routine.
"Snail Mucin is becoming part of my regular line-up, I'm using is morning and night, I'm using it before my moisturiser. The benefits are amazing," the TikToker shared.
She emphasised the product's effectiveness at hydrating, stating: "Snail mucin is now my go-to, it's made a huge difference."
Her second recommendation features a skin polish containing aloe vera and salicylic acid with fine granules.
The skincare enthusiast provided specific guidance on application, noting: "You can mix it with cleansers if you want but I just use it straight."
She described the product's immediate effects: "You'll feel like you're sloughing off your skin and giving your skin a beautiful polish."
The exfoliating treatment is a crucial step in Cristina's transformative routine, she noted.
The final component in her skincare trinity is a creatine mask, which she describes as having a distinctive silicone-like texture when applied.

The mask promises both immediate and lasting benefits, with the TikToker noting: "When you put it on it feels like a silicone mask and when you take it off you'll get the hydration, it leaves behind long-term benefits."
This recommendation is supported by scientific research, as The Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology concluded in 2011 that creatine is beneficial for preventing and treating skin ageing when applied topically.
It comes as a skin care enthusiast named Manuela Marcheggiani recently highlighted the benefits of each ingredient in a clip aimed at women over 60.
