Yes you can ! Snail mucin work wonders when applied with drying and strong active like retinol. It helps collagen production and also is good for hyperpigmentation and its good for dry skin. This combo is Gold! You can use it together (mix retinol and snail mucin and apply to the skin) it is very effective and if you want to layer it go from thinnest to thickest.( like if you are using snail mucin essence it should go first)

Yes you can. It depends how strong your skin is. If you are new to retinol, i suggest you put the snail mucin first. Otherwise if your skin is strong enough, you can put retinol first. ☺️

There shouldn’t be a conflict as Snail Mucin is a hydrator and will layer well. The type of snail product you’re using would determine the order; if it’s snail essence it’ll be better before retinol and cream would be better after but you can also mix retinol with a snail product in your palm to apply it. Hydration always helps, however if you’re to buffer the effects of retinol, I’d recommend products with ceramides and fatty acids to bolster your skin barrier.

Snail mucin and retinol are fine to be used together. Since snail mucin is pretty much a hydrating ingredients , you can use it first before layering on the retinol. It will help as a buffer if your skin is sensitive. However if you want full effect of the retinol , yoh can use it first and then snail mucin. If your snail mucin is in the form of moisturizer, you can use the sandwich method: snail mucin - retinol - snail mucin.
