COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence 3.38 fl.oz, 100ml, Hydrating Serum for Face with Snail Secretion Filtrate for Dark Spots and Fine Lines, Not Tested on Animals, No Parabens, No Sulfates, No Phthalates, Korean Skincare

I bought both this serum and the cream and they are amazing products. In two weeks i can tell a huge difference in my skin. It’s soft, supple and i have much more even skin tone. At 59 i can say this has literally taken 5 years off my face in 2 weeks and it works so well as a primer. I use these two along with a rich moisturizer at night and these two with my timeless vit c serum during the day. I am a believer in this snail mucin. It’s great for sensitive skin!

I really love this essence. I use it every morning and night before my serums. I also use it on nights when i apply my adapalene. I put it in before the adapalene, and apply a moisturizer after the adapalene. It has really helped with the dryness that i was experiencing, i no longer have flakiness. I will definitely purchase this again.

So i guess i’ll add last night was my first night using it and wow! I woke up with a noticeable difference already. No product has ever done that before. My skin feels refreshed, moisturized, and no red! So excited to see the long term results

This is my skincare holy grail. I use it directly after washing my face every morning and night. It allows my skin to better soak up any products i use after. It is *not* a replacement for moisturizer/lotion, simply a supplement to help your skin better absorb the moisturizer/lotion. It has no scent or fragrance. 1-2 pumps is all you need for entire face and neck. I have now gifted this to 2 loved ones who wanted to amp up their skincare routine and they love it as well. My skin responds better to any actives i may use on my face at night, as it helps keep the moisture from escaping the skin as fast. One bottle will probably last me about a year. I know the tiny travel size i first bought at a beauty store lasted me 2.5 months, so i imagine this 3.38oz bottle will last me much longer. You’re still reading? Just buy it!

This was a viral beauty product and now after using, i truly believe it is a holy grail product for many, including myself! It does feel little awkward knowing it’s snail secretion filtrate but after first use, it doesn’t smell nor feel weird, i was sold. It was sticky during application, but once the my skin absorbed the mucin, i apply twice daily along with serum, moisturizer and spf (during day). Just under a week, i already notice significant hydration and skin texture improvement on my face. Aside from the effectiveness of this product, the price also keep my monthly beauty product spending stay under budget *happy dance*

I love how my skin soaks up this product. I’ve been using it every day for 3 weeks now and notice less redness in cheeks and softer skin to the touch. Love it.

I was very weary about this product but i fell in love!!! It moisturizes my skin leaves plump, gives subtle glow because it gives hydration. I also use it in my neck, chest and hands at night. In my face i use it morning and night. I will
buy the face moisturizer just to see if it’s as good as this one. I will purchase my second bottle soon.

I never write reviews but i had to after 1 day of using this! I found this after watching a tiktok video about repairing the skin barrier for dry skin, the creator recommended this along with another product and swore it worked. I took a leap of faith and ordered it, definitely a little weirded out about the snail slime but figured if it could help my severely dry flaky skin then i’ll take it.

At night, i applied this after washing my face then applied lotion and a few drops of rosehip oil like i normally do and went to bed. When i woke up, i immediately noticed a difference in my skin. There weren’t any flakes on the usual dry patches on skin and it turned out there weren’t any dry patches at all. My skin feels hydrated and definitely feels like this is doing something. I’m going to continue using this ever night!

This product is excellent at adding moisture and repairing you skin barrier. I’ve been using it a little over a month and my skin looks so healthy

Tried this when it was on sale because i’ve seen so many claims at how amazing it is. I thought it must be overhyped. I’ve used half the bottle at this point and can’t imagine my skincare routine without it. It’s extremely hydrated and gives skin a glowy, plump look. I don’t notice any sent when i use it. When you first apply it has a somewhat sticky texture but it sinks in very quickly and leaves no film on the skin.

At 32 i had stubborn hormonal acne and dry flaky skin (thanks in part to the dry climate in colorado) i was tired of constantly fighting my skin and embarked on a journey to get the clear youthful skin i deserved. I was pleased to find that the skin of my dreams in a korean beauty inspired routine. The best part is that nearly all the products i tried were relatively inexpensive and readily available from amazon. My acne is non-existent now and the tone and texture of my skin is so supple and smooth. I have provided a list of my routine below which includes this product. I’m not saying this is the best or only way to achieve my results, i just thought others would be interested in what i used.

*indicates review for this product

am- hydrating, lightweight, works under makeup

cleanser – boots botanics all bright gentle cleansing cream (purchased from ulta for a fraction of the price $6.99)

first toner- mario badescu facial spray with aloe, herbs and rosewater, 4 oz. – $7.00 – this is like a drink of water for your face. I love this stuff and will spray again randomly throughout the day whenever i need a refresher. The aroma is a little strong for my liking but (almost like perfume) but i’m willing to overlook since the rose and aloe does so much for my skin. I used to use just straight rose water which has a very present smell but i like the spray delivery of this product better.

Moisturizing toner- [skin food] premium avocado rich toner 180ml –$12.98 – i can’t say enough about this. It’s a nice thick toner much more substantial that the western watery toners i was used to. The smell of this is very bright and green (that’s the best way i can think of to explain it) i love the smell! Every now and then i will smell it on my face and it gives me an invigorating boost. This toner works well to moisturize and calm my skin and will certainly be re-purchasing. A little goes a long way with this stuff so that won’t be for quite some time!

Treatment- body merry hyaluronic acid serum for anti-aging with vitamic c and natural green tea, 2 oz – $13.99 – i use this during the day to keep my skin feeling hydrated and give my skin the boost of anti-oxidants to help combat ageing. This is a lightweight serum (which is why i use it under my makeup) but it does take some time to fully absorb in and dry on my skin. After i put this on i generally go and have breakfast before coming back to finish. The aroma leans more towards green tea which again i find refreshing for the morning. The syrup is a milky and slightly viscous with minimal stickiness.

Eye cream- loreal revitalift eye cream 0.5 ounce (14ml) (14ml) – (purchased from ulta)

face cream- [mizon] snail recovery gel cream 45ml (1.52 fl.oz.) pack of 2 – $9.99/ 2-pack – lightweight moisturizer which works perfectly under makeup. This product doesn’t’ have much of a smell. The consistency is unique halfway between a gel and a cream. Glides on smoothly and provides a decent amount of hydration when combines with my other hydrating products. I don’t like to use occlusive products during the day and this moisturizer fits the bill.

Pm-all about snail- repair, hydrated, moisturize

makeup remover- boots botanics all bright soothing eye make-up remover 5 oz. – purchased at ulta for a fraction of the price – $6.99

double cleanse – [total 2pcs] the face shop rice water bright cleansing oil + foam set –$14.21 – the oil cleanser feels light and silky. At night, i massage 1 pump into my skin and works well to dissolve the days make-up. Once i am done breaking down all the makeup, i use water to get some of it off before moving to the foam cleanser. My only complaint is that the fragrance is a little strong and can burn my eyes if i’m not careful. It leaves my skin feeling soft and clean. The foam cleanser works well to clean off the oil left on my face. The foam cleanser aroma is a lot more tolerable to me. It comes out of the tube a shimmery white color and is very gentle. These two cleansers work well to get my face clean and ready for treatments without that typical tight feeling. They leave my skin soft and moisturized.

Exfoliation – olay regenerist microdermabrasion & peel system microdermabrasion treatment 1 kit – $21.99 – one a week – i used to use philosophy’s microderm kit but this one offers the same exact results for 1/2 of the price. This exfoliator leaves my skin feeling baby soft but it does seem a tad harsh so i don’t like to use it too frequently. I love the fresh citrus smell of the crystals and the warming foaming action once you put on the activator. Since i only use this once a week it lasts for a very long time and is totally worth the price.

Toner- [skin food] premium avocado rich toner 180ml –$12.98 i can’t say enough about this. It’s a nice thick toner much more substantial that the western watery toners i was used to. The smell of this is very bright and green (that’s the best way i can think of to explain it) i love the smell! Every now and then i will smell it on my face and it gives me an invigorating boost. This toner works well to moisturize and calm my skin and will certainly be re-purchasing. A little goes a long way with this stuff so that won’t be for quite some time!

*essence – [cosrx] advanced snail 96 mucin power essence 100ml – $15.85 – i only use this at night because it does leave bit of a film on my face which i find unpleasant under make up. It dries quickly and a single pump gives me enough to cover my whole face and neck. There is no smell to speak of but it does have a slimy snail-y texture ( it is 96% slime!) and can be a bit tacky once its all said and done. I have also used this on some iron burns to help it heal faster and minimize scaring with a lot of success.

Treatment- mizon snail repair intensive ampoule – anti wrinkle – multi function formula – $11.43 – anti wrinkle – multi function formula- clear viscous liquid. Not nearly as slimy as the essence. No smell, absorbs quickly. I focus heavily on the snail products at night because i read that the copper peptides naturally contained in the snail can
alter the effectiveness of the vitamin c and vice versa.

Spot treatment- [mizon] acence blemish out pink spot 30ml – $14.95 – use only as needed – works wonders to diminish blemishes overnight. I used this quite frequently when i first started but after a while using all these products i didn’t have any acne to speak of!

Sheet mask – dermal korea collagen essence full face facial mask sheet, 16 combo pack – $10.40 – i use once a week. I know that sheet masks are the totally hot thing in korean beauty but i don’t think they do much for me other than a relaxing home spa experience. I just don’t see that they provide much and probably will not be buying more.

Eye cream- mizon korean cosmetics snail repair eye cream, 1 ounce 1 ounce – $13.98 – light weight, absorbs quickly. The container is quite generous and a little will go a long way. I think i will have this for a while! It doesn’t have any smell.

Face cream- mizon black snail all in one cream, 2.40 ounce –$10.49 – like all of the mizon snail products i have tried this is a very easy introduction into the world of snail skin care. It has minimum smell and lightweight texture. Minimal slime factor, you wouldn’t even know it was snail in a blind comparison. It has a off white color and a lightweight consistency. It doesn’t work wall as an occlusive if that’s what you want you may need to add a different moisturizer at night.

Face oils- i use a mixture of two oils applied at once: radha beauty rosehip oil 4 oz – 100% pure cold pressed certified organic . – $13.95 – and radha beauty moroccan argan oil for hair, face & skin 4 oz – usda organic 100% pure cold pressed virgin oil from morocco – by radha beauty –$12.95 – i like to use the oils last because i feel like it really seals everything in and provides moisture to last me through the night. The rosehip oil is very yellow orange so i wouldn’t recommend using during the day abut i do sometimes mix the argan oil in with my foundation if i want a dewier look.

I liked how it hydrated my face but it dries pretty tacky. I would not repurchase because i feel like it didn’t do much for my skin. It does not have any hyperpigmentation inhibitors in its ingredients so don’t expect it to help with any dark spots or marks. Overall it was a nice product but nothing too special.

Use it before a moisturizer. Recommended by a friend that had been using it on sun damage. Her results took a few months. No scent, disappears into skin

This is key in my skin routine! I feel so moisturized and healthy. Like my term i feel some troubled parts of my skin have been imported thanks to this i’d recommend this product.

I am really not sure what this does. But it does hydrate well. The consistency is sticky and it doesn’t have smell. I haven’t had any visible changes. But will continue to use and will come here and update you guys.

I purchased this after seeing an influencer rave about it and have not been disappointed. I use in the morning underneath my sunscreen and have found that it gives my skin a gorgeously glowy, almost glass-like effect. My skin is prone to dryness and while it’s not the most moisturizing product i’ve ever used, it does help with dry patches. I also like that is absorbs quickly.

The only reason i didn’t give 5 stars is because i have found (depending on what other products i use) that it sometimes causes my makeup to pill a bit. It’s possible i didn’t allow it to dry adequately before applying foundation, but frankly i’m always running late…so for me just skipping this product on days when i do a full face of makeup is a better solution. Will still be repurchasing as i’m really pleased with the effects! Great glow-booster for days when i don’t need extra coverage.

It doesn’t smell like anything and it’s very smooth and soothing. It just didn’t seem to do much for my fine lines and wrinkles like i had hoped.

Very good moisturizing although it’s a bit tacky and you definitely need a lotion to lock in the moisture if you live in a dry place. Skin looks glowy altough saw no real difference in skin brightness and skin evening after using it for 5 months. I continue to repurchase it as aftershave only.

I think it is ok but not a superior product. I used other pricy smilar products that is in gel form, and they are not made with natural ingredients. In terms of results, this product is not much diffent from other products. I gave 4 star for this product because of the natrual ingredients used in this product and no aritificial scent.

My daughter (my guru) heard about this from her work ppl who raved abt it.
