Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

Has used the snail mucin essence for years and always comes back to it.

“I am using cosrx snail mucin essence for years and recently added hada labo premium ..loving it ✨”

After repurchasing it no longer gives the same hydration and is kind of irritating their skin.

“i had been using snail mucin for like 2+ years, stopped, recently repurchased it but it's not giving me the same level of hydration it used to... in fact it's kind of irritating my skin”

Alternates between the essence and the cream, one of the few AB items to survive their skincare purge.

“I alternate between the essence and the cream. I like it's in a tube now too!”

Has repurchased the snail mucin essence for about a decade.

“There are only 2 items I have repeatedly purchased for the past decade or so. The first one is the Hada Labo lotion and the second is the CosRx Snail mucin essence.”

The snail mucin has stayed in their routine for seven years, with the cream for travel.

“The snail mucin is the only thing that has stayed consistent in my routine for the past seven years. I use the cream when I travel”

Got the snail mucin essence and says it is the only thing that makes their face dewy.

“I need that exfoliant, got the cosrx snail mucin and it's the only thing that makes my face dewy”

With dry skin finds snail mucin makes it plumper, glowier and more hydrated than heavy moisturisers.

“I have a dry skin n it works wonders for me.. even heavy moisturizers like nivea(blue tub) has never made my skin feel plumped glowy n hydrated like snail mucin have”

Applies snail mucin on damp skin with a moisturiser but still finds skin feeling tight and dehydrated an hour later.

“I use this snail mucin on damp skin then barrier repair rx peptide ceramide moisturizer after 1 hours it feels so tight dehydrated on my skin I don't know why happened this to me”

Calls it a holy grail product but advises using it only on damp skin followed by a lightweight moisturiser.

“this is my holy grail product. my best advice is to NEVER use it on dry skin, always damp your face before hand, and after rubbing the product in use a lightweight moisturizer that works best for you.”

Broke them out in a cluster on the cheek within three days.

“i tried the cosrx snail mucin and in three days i had a cluster of acne on my cheek so i stopped using it”

Prefers it to Purito snail mucin and says their skin loves it.

“Purito's has peptides but Cosrx feels so much better. Skin loves it.”

Found it did nothing for their skin and got better results with Mizon snail gel.

“CosRX snail mucin didn’t do anything for my skin. I had better results from Mizon snail gel.”

The essence gave them fungal acne across two bottles before they noticed.

“This essence gave me fungal acnes. AND I used it for 2 bottles UNTIL I noticed it!”

Enjoys the snail mucin essence and keeps rebuying it because it is cheap where they buy it.

“I enjoy the CosRX Snail Mucin, because it's cheap where I buy it, usually despite being 100ml, so I usually get 1 or 2 where I can.”

Calls the essence their holy grail and did not realise how much their skin liked it until stopping.

“CosRX snail mucin essence is my HG. I didn’t realize how much my skin liked it until I stopped using it.”

Loved it for a long time, but a new bottle from Amazon burned their face for days.

“I used to love the CoSrx snail mucin and used it all the time, but I bought a new bottle off Amazon and it burnt my face”

Not sure it does anything but loves the feel and has gone through six bottles.

“Cosrx advanced snail mucin - not sure if it does anything but I love the feel of it 😅 probably gone through 6 bottles already”

Has used it for about a decade and bought some for their sister because they are such a believer.

“Cosrx Snail Mucin Essence. I think I've been using it for a decade now, and I refuse to have a routine with snails. I even bought some for my sister because I'm that big of a believer.”

Has calmed their cystic acne and kept it at bay for 7 years.

“CosRx Snail mucin essence and snail cream. This one has calm down my cystic acne skin and keep it at bay the past 7 years.”

Doesn't even know how many times they have repurchased it.

“Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence. I don't even know how many times I've repurchased these”

Calls it so moisturising and the most widely available AB product abroad.

“Cosrx snail mucin. It’s the most widely available AB product abroad and so moisturising!”

Gave them healthy, clear skin after trying others, so they stick with the essence and cream.

“Cosrx snail essence and cream. I have tried others but this gave me healthy skin and clear skin so ill just stick to what work.”

Combination acne-prone user found snail mucin made a world of difference when applied on damp skin.

“I have combo acne prone skin and when i cleansed my face and left it a lil damp and added the snail mucin and it made a world of difference on damp face.. don’t use it dry.”

Says the COSRX snail works best for them out of the snail products they tried.

“I've tried most of these, but for me, cosrx snail music works the best.”

Used it for ages without issues, and returned to it after an allergic reaction to a Peach Slices snail product.

“I've used the cosrx one for ages and briefly tried the peach slices one...I don't know what the difference is but I literally had an allergic reaction to Peach Slices.”

Has used it for over a decade and does not know when they will give it up.

“I've been using the cosrx snail mucin for over a decade now.”

Did not get on with the COSRX essence and prefers Benton Snail Bee.

“Benton Snail Bee is my ride or die. I didn’t get on with the Cosrx one.”

First tried the viral COSRX snail mucin and it made their skin break out, so they stopped.

“I had a confusing experience with the viral COSRX Snail Mucin. When I first tried it, it caused my skin to break out, so I stopped.”

After a month their skin loves it: acne scars reduced, a natural glow and they can wear makeup.

“Not like i have been using cosrx snail mucin for last one month my skin loves it. I am an Indian only my acne scars has reduced, got natural glow , able to use makeup”

Really impressed their oily skin: reduced acne redness, very smooth, lightweight with quick absorption.

“it reduced my acne redness also made my skin feel sooo smooth”

Calls it an incredible hydration booster that helps heal acne faster and gives a consistent glow on eczema-prone skin.

“The Cosrx Snail essence has been an incredible hydration booster, helps heal my acne faster and gave my skin a lovely consistent glow.”

Has used it for around a decade; not a game changer but it gives a sticky, bouncy glow.

“I have been using the COSRX 96 Essence for close to 8-10 years now if I had to guess.”

Broke out from the COSRX snail mucin, saying it clogs pores and gave whiteheads.

“I broke out from snail mucin from COSRX. It's not the brand.”

Nothing makes their skin as baby soft as the 96 essence; ten years of use and they notice when they skip it.

“nothing makes my skin baby soft like my Cosrx 96. Going on 10 years of use.”

Uses it after the shower in a layered routine while on tazarotene and finds it helps hydration.

“i currently use it right after coming out of the shower > isntree hyl acid toner > cosrx snail > occlusive and its been helping me with hydration since im on tazarotene.”

Likes it on most of the face but it made the nasolabial folds dry and itchy so they stopped.

“I bought a bottle of the CosRx 96 power essence a few months ago and I recently had to stop because I noticed that it was the reason my nasolabial folds were becoming dry and itchy… I like”

With dry skin and rosacea, found the COSRX snail line including the 96 essence among the worst products they've used for dry skin.

“These might be some of the worst products I’ve ever used for dry skin.”

Has tried 16-18 snail products and finds the COSRX essence the worst of them.

“I think corsx snail essence is hands-down the worst snail product on the market.”

Snail mucin leaves skin very hydrated and glowy but makes them break out, which is not worth it.

“This is super late but snail mucin makes me breakout too as others have stated.”

Has bought it for ten years; when sensitized it's the only thing that stops the stinging and redness.

“Cosrx snail essence! I've been buying it for about ten years now.”

Uses it twice a day on very dry skin and finds it moisturizing and plumping.

“I have very dry skin and I use Cosrx snail mucin twice a day after essence.”

Made probably the biggest positive difference they have seen from a topical product.

“the CosRx 96% snail mucin has made probably the biggest positive difference in my skin I’ve ever seen a topical product have.”

Applied the essence over a damp vitamin C face and it burned immediately; stinging persisted and red bumpy rashes followed hours later.

“followed up a wet, not yet fully soaked vitamin c face with snail mucin. It burned immediately”

Applies vitamin C over the snail mucin for years with no problems.

“I’ve applied Vit C right over the cosrx snail mucin for years and never had anything happen!”

Pairs the essence with a glycolic toner for plump glass skin.

“What I do love to do is The Ordinary glycolic toner, then COSRX snail mucin essence.”

Uses it on wet skin after the AHA/BHA spray without any issues.

“I use the cosrx aha/bha spray before the cosrx snail mucin on wet skin without any issues.”

Finds it works better on a dry face than a damp one, which surprised them.

“The Cosrx simply doesn't work as well for me if applied to a damp face.”

Closed comedones popped up out of control so they threw the snail mucin away.

“I have the same reaction, and closed comedones stast popping out of control.”

Uses it daily after vitamin C dries and has never had any problem.

“I use Cosrx snail mucin daily after all my vit C serum but always after the vit c had dried down.”

Found the essence decent but nothing special and did not repurchase.

“I’ve only tried the Snail Mucin Power Essence and it was decent but wasn’t anything special, didn’t repurchase”

Has used it for a week and so far likes it.

“I personally use The COSRX Snail Mucin 96 essence since a week and so far i like it !”

Felt it made their skin drier.

“COSRX snail mucin made my skin feels more dry tbh”

Hasn't noticed a difference since starting it on very dry skin.

“Currently using the Cosrx Snail Mucin essence, but it hasn't made a difference since I started using it”

Hydrating but never a great standalone product for their skin.

“The essence was hydrating, but it was never a great standalone product for my skin”

Likes the mucin in their routine as quick to apply, hydrating and not heavy on the skin.

“I do really like the mucin though, it's quick and easy to apply, hydrating, and doesn't leave me feeling like I have a heavy product on my skin.”

The Snail 96 essence evens their redness, but nightly use gives them whiteheads.

“The mucin didn’t cause those small whiteheads as much when I used it during the day only, however when I used it at night as well I’d wake up with little whitehead’s everywhere.”

Didn't see a significant difference a few years ago; since reusing it their skin seems more moisturised, though other products may be responsible.

“I tried this a few years ago and just didn’t repurchase because I didn’t really see a significant difference. I’ve been influenced again though and since using my skin definitely does seem to be more moisturised”

One use gave a huge dry itchy burning patch on the face.

“I had a horrible reaction. I have a huge, dry, itchy patch that burns like fire on the right side of my face.”

The Snail 96 essence brought closed comedones on their cheeks and forehead, while the 92 cream never did.

“Just try the Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence but then I realize there are a lot closed comedones appear on my cheek and forehead.”

Says the snail essence broke their skin out so badly that they tell others to drop it.

“Get rid of that snail garbage. It broke me out so badly.”

The power essence dries their skin out and causes lots of acne, unlike the brand all-in-one they love.

“The cosrx power essence dries my skin out and gives me so much acne whereas the cosrx all in one is my holy grail”

Likes the brand but snail mucin makes their oily skin freak out and produce cystic acne.

“Love Cosrx but snail mucin has always made my oily skin frrak out & pump out cystic acne as a response.”

Loves the regular snail mucin essence and recommends it over the niacinamide eye cream that did not work.

“Makes sense now! Highly recommend the regular essence, not the eye cream.”

Retail-store employee uses the snail mucin essence, cleanser and cream and calls the essence the standout product of the line.

“I work at the orange makeup store and the entire CosRX snail mucin line is awesome.”

Calls the mucin essence incredible, in contrast with the line eye cream which they found just meh.

“The mucin essence is incredible. The eye cream is meh (although you do get a LOT for the price).”

Uses the essence between serums and moisturiser for an extra hydration boost and finds it great.

“I'll echo other people saying the snail mucin essence is great - I use it between serums and my moisturiser for an extra hydration boost.”

Finds Benton Snail Bee essence soothes acne better than the COSRX essence.

“I’ve been using the benton snail bee essence for a while, and I feel that one has done a better job at soothing acne than the cosrx essence.”

Loves the essence and bought the all in one cream after it.

“I love the essence, so I also bought the all in one moisturizer.”

Used it a few times a week on dry skin and found their texture got drier, so it did not suit them.

“I got the CosRx Snail Mucin and was using it 2x/week. When I used it in the morning, it seemed like my texture was drier than usual at night.”

Finds the COSRX snail essence only okay and prefers Mizon snail products.

“yeah the Cosrx snail is just ok to me. I prefer the Mizon snail ampoule and their snail sleeping pack”

Used the Power Essence from ages 26 to 28 with no reaction despite a severe dust allergy.

“I have had a severe dust allergy since age 24 and from ages 26-28 used the CosRx Snail Mucin Power Essence you used without any reaction…I stopped using and was thinking of restarting it, but this is certainly”

Uses the snail 96 mucin and loves it.

“I use the Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 mucin and love it!”

Got similar but lesser benefits than the cream and found it still too thick for summer.

“I found that I got similar but lesser benefits to my skin, and it was still too thick for me to use as a summer moisturizer.”

The essence gave horrible whiteheads and fungal-looking breakouts, and they gave their bottle away.

“I'm so mad I didn't do a patch test because it gave me these horrible whiteheads and red little bumps on my forehead.”

Calls the snail mucin essence their holy grail that helped repair their skin barrier and is so hydrating.

“Cosrx snail mucin essence is my holy grail. It helped in repairing my skin barrier, it’s so hydrating”

Loves the essence and loves the cream even more; apply the cream on wet skin.

“I love the snail mucin 96 serum and I love the snail mucin 92 cream even more. Just make sure you apply it to wet skin. It has worked wonders for me, it is super hydrating.”

Finds the Snail 96 essence hydrating, good for redness and glowy, but no help for acne.

“I think it's a great product - hydrating, can help with redness, gave me a nice overall glow. It does not help treat acne though”

Finds the snail essence only slightly more hydrating than an HA serum, with no visible difference; overhyped.

“Personally, it’s not much better than a Hyaluronic acid serum.”

The COSRX snail essence cleared their seborrheic dermatitis and mild rosacea and balanced their skin.

“I'd had seborrheic dermatitis for years, and nothing cleared it up until I started using the snail mucin.”

Says mucin cleared closed comedones, evened texture and calmed redness, applying the COSRX essence on damp skin.

“It got rid of closed comedones on my forehead, evened texture, brightened, and reduced redness from eczema. I use cosrx essence while still damp”

Skin got irritated and hot with closed comedones on the forehead after a few uses.

“I had the same problem with the cosrx snail mucin essence... I used it a couple of times but later my skin would get irritated and hot and it caused closed comedones on my forehead also.”

Used it a few months but it did less for them than Mizon All in One Snail cream.

“I used the corsrx snail for a few months, but it didn't do as much for me as the Mizon.”

Liked it for a week but skin felt much drier than usual; stopped and skin normalised.

“I haven’t had much luck with cosrx :( I liked the snail mucin for about a week but my skin started feeling much drier than usual.”

Huge acne breakout on the chin; stopped and it is slowly returning to normal.

“The Cosrx snail mucin also turned on me. Huge acne breakout on my chin.”

Loved it for a long time as hydrating and plumping, then closed comedones appeared on the forehead; cutting it cleared about 90 percent within a week.

“It felt very hydrating and plumping and I loved it until suddenly a lot of closed comedones popped up on my forehead.”

Lists the snail mucin essence among Asian beauty products that really worked for their acne and skin.

“AB products that have worked really well for me: COSRX Snail Mucin essence, Beauty of Joseon SPF and COSRX Master Patch Intensive pimple patches.”

For very dry, dehydrated skin, the Snail 96 essence works wonders.

“I have very dry and dehydrated skin. This works wonders.”

Likes the snail essence for healing acne and PIH, and it kept their father's skin healthy through radiation treatment.

“I like this product for healing acne and PIH”

Finds the Snail 96 essence does little daily but is noticeably helpful on dry or irritated skin after strong exfoliation.

“I quite like it. I find daily use is too much though, it's an extra step that doesn't seem to do much when my skin is in normal condition.”

Loved the feel of the Snail 96 essence but got a deep pimple that took months to resolve.

“Unfortunately not great - I actually got a big deep pimple that took months to resolve.”

Loves the snail 96 essence and had the cream on their wishlist.

“I love the snail 96 essence and this moisturizer was already on my wishlist!”

Helped their skin barrier immensely within a week.

“Cosrx snail mucin is the best thing I did for my skin. It helped my skin barrier immensely and I could see improvements within a week.”

On their third bottle with a clear difference in their skin.

“I am currently on my third bottle of Cosrx Snail essence and third tube of this La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baum B5 and definitely noticed a difference in my skin”

The snail essence did nothing for their skin.

“the Cosrx Snail Mucin did nothing for me.”

With a mild shrimp allergy, the Snail 96 essence made their skin itchy and irritated.

“Snail mucin made my skin feel slightly itchy and irritated so I never understood the hype.”

Loves the Snail 96 essence, preferring it to Vichy Mineral 89.

“I have this too, and I love it! I use the whole snail line.”

Fell in love with the Snail 96 essence.

“I just got the all in one after falling in love with the 96.”

The Snail 96 essence made their skin burn horribly on contact.

“I don't have much in the way of known allergies, but this stuff made my skin burn horribly on contact, so I had to toss it.”

After 4-5 months on tretinoin with dry, sensitive, acne-prone skin, the Snail 96 essence hydrates deeply; viscous but a little goes far.

“It hydrates. And when i say Hydrate, I mean the kind of hydration which comes from gulping a full bottle of water after a long day out in the sun.”

One of their favourite products: viscous for an essence but one of the lightest high-percentage snail formulas.

“This is one of my favorite products. It is viscous for an essence”

Tried the essence before and wasn't as wowed as they were with the cream.

“i tried the essence before and wasn’t as wowed as i was with the cream.”

After 5 months of the essence it has really worked well for their oily dehydrated skin.

“I have been using the snail mucin for like 5 months now and it has really worked well for me”

On their second bottle, finds the COSRX snail essence a good hydrator.

“I'm on my second bottle and it is a good hydrator”

Felt no difference from the COSRX snail essence.

“I tried it years ago in my college years (2016-2018) and I honestly felt no difference in my skin.”

Has used the COSRX snail essence twice daily for four years and loves it; it absorbs easily and helps other products sink in.

“I use this every day, twice a day, and have for the last 4 years or so. I absolutely love this stuff!”

Loves the snail essence for hydration and for healing their acne and pigmentation.

“Love this stuff. It leaves my skins so hydrated and makes it easy for products to absorb into your skin.”

On their fourth bottle in two years: it clears their combination skin and leaves it glowing.

“I been using this product for over 2 years now! I think I'm at the 4th bottle now?”

Rated it 8.5/10, liking it even better than the cream: brightening, very hydrating and never pilled.

“Brightening, very hydrating, never pilled or made other products feel like they couldn't absorb.”

Likes that it absorbs quickly and gives a nice slip under sunscreen and makeup, like a primer.

“I like the essence 96. It absorbs quick and gives my skin a nice "slip" for applying sunscreen and makeup.”

Two weeks in, notices acne scars and pigmentation fading.

“I’ve been using the COSRX snail mucin essence for about 2 weeks now and already noticing my acne scars/pigmentation fading.”

Their holy grail snail product, preferred to Benton and Mizon, and it helped fade a jellyfish-sting scar.

“This really is my HG of all the snail products I’ve tried!”

Woke up to plumper skin, and the snail essence calmed stress breakouts overnight better than their actives.

“the next day I woke up to plump skin and I thought hey this isn't too bad.”

Eight months in, the Snail 96 essence moisturises and keeps their skin glowing all day; two pumps cover the face.

“I've been using it for 8 months and it really does what it claims regarding to Moisturizing the skin.”

With dry skin, the snail essence absorbs almost immediately, hydrates and is fading their breakout and acne scars.

“I find that this essence absorbs into my skin almost immediately. The texture just feels gel-like to me, and definitely hydrates my skin.”

They love it from a brand they rate highly.

“I love their Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence”

Highly recommends it from their go-to brand.

“CosRx is my go to skin care brand. I highly recommend the blackhead power liquid and the snail mucin essence.”

Uses the essence as their last-step moisturizer on oily skin and finds the comforting gel texture enough.

“This is currently the moisturizer I use(i have oily skin so its enough for me as a last step)”

Both products were good; they were shocked how much their skin changed overnight the first time using the essence.

“I use the cosrx 96 and 92. Both have been good for me, and I was shocked how my skin changed overnight first time I used the essence.”

Dislikes the essence, finding it not hydrating and not absorbing well.

“I don't like the CosRx Essence. Like, at all. I don't find it hydrating and I hate the fact that it doesn't absorb well.”

On their third bottle and loved how it soothed irritation from using tretinoin more often.

“Cosrx snail 96 essence: I think I am on my 3rd bottle? Really loved this to help soothe irritation I was facing when I was using tret more often.”

Their all-time favourite, repurchased over five times.

“Cosrx Advanced 96 Snail Mucin Power Essence: My all time favourite product, have repurchased it over 5 times by now.”

Sticky at first but sinks in and makes their skin so soft; a necessity in their routine.

“It's sticky at first but sinks in and makes my skin so soft!”

Noticed a difference when they started; the slimy texture was offputting at first.

“like others, I noticed a difference in my skin when I started using this.”

A little goes a long way: brightening and improving texture, plus plumper and softer skin.

“a little goes a long way and for me, it does so much for brightening and improving texture”

Has lost count of the bottles; without it their skin feels dry and dehydrated within hours.

“I’ve lost count of how many bottles I’ve gone through! My skin cannot live without this stuff anymore, I’ve tried, it just feels so dry and dehydrated after a couple of hours.”

Very moisturising but did not help their post-acne marks, so they will switch back to a Klairs essence.

“Originally I thought that snail mucin will help with my pie/pih, but it doesn't.”

Loves it on sensitive skin; it is pretty light so they layer a heavier cream on top.

“I can only comment about Cosrx advanced snail 96 mucin essence. I love it! Great on my sensitive skin. It’s pretty light so I put a heavier cream on top to lock in the hydration.”

Had to drop the essence because it seemed to make them break out.

“I’ve tried both and personally had to drop the essence because it seemed to make me break out.”

Loves the 96 before moisturizer; it healed a breakout faster than anything and helps with hydration.

“I use the cosrx snail 96 serum before my moisturizer and love it. It healed my breakout faster than anything.”

The essence broke them out in closed comedones though they loved its soothing and moisturising effects.

“I tried the coveted Snail 96 essence and it broke me out in CCs :( I loved the soothing and moisturising effects it had”

Brightens their skin and heals it after over-exfoliating; sometimes the only thing that doesn't burn, though it dries down matte.

“The snail mucin is incredible - it definitely brightens my skin and is very healing if I overdo it with the acids - the only thing I can put on sometimes that doesn’t burn.”

Really started to heal their acne, with a difference noticed within days.

“something that really started to help heal my acne is using Hada Labo Plumping Gel Cream and CosRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence.”

Added alongside tretinoin, their skin was hydrated and much better within a week.

“I added Cosrx snail mucin, Cosrx full moisture cream, and The Ordinary Squalene oil. In less than a week my skin is hydrated and looking much better.”

Took away acne redness and made skin smooth within days.

“after 2 days of use I think it's now my favorite thing I use. I have bad acne and its taken all the redness away and made my skin so smooth!”

Really likes it and found it wonderfully soothing on dry, irritated skin.

“I use CosRx Advanced Snail 96 and I really like it.”

Neither product gave extra hydration, brightening or healing.

“Both products did nothing for me.. No additional hydration and no brightening or healing whatsoever..”

Preferred the essence: it sank in better and calmed an angry pimple overnight.

“I bought both and preferred the essence. Sunk in better and very soothing and calming. I slather it over an angry pimple and next morning its not as raised and red.”

Used two bottles of the essence with pretty much no results.

“I used the cream a while ago and I actually think it worked better than the essence I have used two bottles of with pretty much no results”

Loves the essence as lighter, better-absorbing and easy to layer.

“I love the snail 96 essence- it’s lighter, absorbs better, and is also easier to layer with other products.”

Pretty amazing after a couple of months: fewer cysts and more hydrated skin on breakout-prone, sensitive skin.

“it has been pretty amazing. I've noticed that I get fewer cysts (tho nowadays I get break outs mostly under my jawline?) and my skin feels more hydrated.”

Prefers the essence because it layers better and is more versatile.

“I have tried both and prefer the snail 96 because it layers better and is more versatile. I can mix it with my TO serums that foam up and it stops them from doing so.”

Likes it so far: thicker than other essences but not greasy, with no irritation or negative effects.

“I honestly can't tell yet, but it defintely isn't hurting. No irritation or negative effects.”

The Snail 96 essence calms their redness, but gives them whiteheads every time.

“I reaaally wanted to love this product. It's so good at calming my redness, but everytime I use it I get whiteheads.”

The Snail 96 essence was soothing but broke their forehead out in closed comedones overnight.

“Same here, unfortunately. It was very soothing on my skin, but my forehead (where I don’t usually get breakouts) broke out in CCs overnight.”

Gives them hives and closed comedones on their face.

“my CosRX Advanced 96 Snail Mucin gives me hives and CCs on my face”

Good first impression: their skin felt instantly protected and hydrated.

“I just started using it today, and it gives a good first impression! I used 3 pumps, iirc. My skin felt instantly protected and hydrated.”

First impression is really good: it calmed skin they had picked at within an hour.

“I recently started using the Snail 96 and my first impression is really good.”

Found the essence only meh: it didn't break them out but did nothing special.

“I’ve also tried the snail mucin essence and it was only meh in my opinion. Didn’t break me out but didn’t do anything special either.”

Has used it for three years and finds it offers such deep hydration and layers well.

“Never tired the cream but have been using Snail 96 for 3 years and it offers such deep hydration or me--is also great for layering!”

Helped heal a facial scar but does little else for their skin.

“never had tattoos, but I’ve had great experience with cosrx snail mucin getting rid of a facial scar (laceration from a car accident, not acne scars) so I assume it would be good for all kinds of healing!”

Used it on a healing tattoo, with scabs peeling quickly and less itching; extremely pleased.

“In my country it's hard to find Aquaphor so i've been slathering cosrx's snail mucin and hada labo on my healing tattoo.”

Slathered it on a new tattoo and the artist was surprised how little blowout there was.

“My last tattoo, on my hand, i slathered in CosRx Snail as well!”

Had high hopes but the COSRX 96 snail essence made them break out.

“I'm so sad that the CosRX 96 snail goop made my break out!”

Used it nightly for almost a year after AHA and before moisturiser, recommends it and finds it absorbs quickly.

“I've been using Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 for almost a year. I use it once per day in the evenings after wash/AHA and before moisture.”

Their skin hates the snail essence.

“My skin hates the snail essence and I prefer the pimple patches that are flat stickers with tea tree and salicylic acid in them vs. The hydrocolloid patches.”

Says the essence has worked wonders on their own skin; their sister tried it overnight and found her skin soft with less redness.

“This product has worked wonders for my skin so I kind of knew that it would be good for her too.”

Saved their skin several times; great for everyday use.

“Cosrx 96 snail mucin essence (saved my butt on several occasions and it's just great for everyday use)”

Feels the loss whenever they skip it; now a must.

“Cosrx 96 Snail Essence: If I skip this for even once I feel the loss. I don't skip anymore. This stuff is necessary.”

The essence has worked its way into their routine.

“has worked its way into my routine, alternating with the whitening power essence.”

Great for layering, very non-irritating and slightly soothing.

“COSRx 96 Snail Mucin Power Essence. Still use it; it's great for layering & I find it's very non-irritating & a even a bit soothing.”

Hydrates their skin without breaking it out, but they saw less progress than with Mizon and aren't sure they'll repurchase.

“It definitely hydrates my skin though (and it hasn't broken me out!) I'm unsure if I'll repurchase it.”

It breaks them out into closed comedones, though they love the rest of the brand.

“It definitely breaks me out into cc, but I think it's just snail in general :( Such a shame because I love corsx products.”

Likes how it feels but keeps retesting it and the breakouts return.

“It broke me out :( I keep going back and testing it again, telling myself it was something else that caused it but it was the COSrx.”

Dry-combination sensitive skin liked it, with no breakouts and red cheeks improving daily.

“I've dry-combination-sensitive skin and my skin liked it! I use this in combination with my Benton Snail bee essence so I don't have any negative comments about it.”

Gooey, but did not do much for their skin and they went back to Benton after a week.

“It was moisturizing, it was gooey, but it didn’t do much of anything for my skin.”

Tried it after loving Benton Snail Bee and it is not doing much.

“I decided to try CosRx and it's not doing much. I'm tempted to go back to Benton...”

Did not find it very hydrating and it did little for their redness.

“I actually didn't find that to be all that hydrating, personally. I thought snail was also supposed to be good for calming redness, which CosRX didn't do much for me in that area either.”

Loves the essence as a simple, good product that calms breakouts and improves texture.

“I love the essence. It's a really simple, good product. It calms breakouts and irritation and improves texture.”

Loves what it has done for their face, including a stubborn patch of red winter skin.

“My snail had some small bubbles in it and I've been loving what it's done for my face. I had a really stubborn patch of weird red winter skin on my forehead and it's now almost gone”
