COSRXSnail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence 3.38 fl.oz 100ml, Hydrating Serum for Face with Snail Secretion Filtrate for Dull Skin & Fine Lines, Korean Skin Care

I have normal skin that can get tight after cleansing and red around my nose. I started using this essence twice a day, three drops pressed onto clean skin.Here’s what I’ve noticed:Texture: It’s runny, almost like water, and sinks in fast with no stickiness. I can move straight to moisturizer without waiting.Immediate feel: My face stops feeling tight as soon as it’s on. Skin feels smoother to the touch, like I’ve already put on a light lotion.After one week: The dry patches on my chin are gone and the redness on my cheeks looks lighter. Overall my skin feels softer and stays calm through the day, even in the windy weather.No strong fragrance, no breakouts, and it layers well under SPF. If you’re looking for something simple that just makes your skin feel soft and settled, this does the job.

I adore this product. I have combo skin with an oily T zone, dry areas, minor breakouts, and hyperpigmentation. I recently started an entire new skincare routine so I’m not sure which products to credit with my skin getting drastically better, but this and some of COSRX’s other products are definitely some of the ones responsible. My skin was severely damaged and dehydrated prior to my current routine and this is one of the products I used to gently repair my barrier before moving on to actives and branching out. I still use it daily and nightly after toner/actives/peptides and before moisturizer. It’s super moisturizing and really penetrates into my skin without leaving my skin feeling sticky or oily. Easy to apply sparsely or liberally and easy to mix with other moisturizers to dilute them. Such a great affordable way to give your skin some love.

I haven't been using this for long yet so the long term results have yet to be seen but pretty much immediately after using (like just couple days of use) my skin looked more refreshed and my skin felt firmer and better and it seemed like I had fewer visible fine lines. It was enough of a difference to actually notice just looking in the mirror and that's saying something with how little I've used it so far.I struggle with acne and have dry sensitive skin so most products make my skin feel worse or don't do anything but my skin liked this. I'll keep using and hope that the long term benefits are even better.

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 productAM- hydrating, lightweight, works under makeupCleanser - 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, MoisturizeMakeup Remover- Boots Botanics All Bright Soothing Eye Make-up Remover 5 oz. – Purchased at Ulta for a fraction of the price - $6.99Double 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 canalter 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 was honestly skeptical of this product as well as the hyaluronic cream but holy moly am I a fan! If for whatever reason they decide to stop making this i need to buy a lifetime supply- my skin is prone to dryness and hyperpigmentation especially in the winter, but after 3 days of using this my skin is baby soft. My skin doesnt even feel this good after a facial.Price point is fantastic, do yourself a favor and buy it .. but not too much because ill be mad if it goes out of stock :)

I get Botox every 3 months (for migraines) and this gives the same feeling as Botox. I use 3 pumps in the morning and evening every day after I wash my face and this is 3 weeks between pictures. No makeup on in either one, my skin is glowing and so tight. I have been asked by multiple people what I’m using and immediately send the link. My skin is tight enough my lower eyelids move if you do a full open mouth 😮 face. 10/10 recommend but be consistent and give it about 3 weeks and you will see the difference!
