COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence 100ml | Snail Secretion Filtrate 96% | Skin Repair Serum | CPNP Registered, Korean Skin Care, Cruelty Free, Paraben Free, Alcohol Free

I bought this snail-trail as a private joke after seeing several videos of Russian girls who keep giant snails as pets. The liquid is presented in a cylindrical, clear container with a pump dispenser that gives one drop at a time. It is slimy stuff - how could it be otherwise? - clear, odourless and cool on the skin. It feels surprisingly pleasant to use, fresh and calming, and it is quickly absorbed. It is very economical in use. After the morning cleanse and tone, I pump one drop into my hand and apply it as instructed with gentle fingertip patting. That one drop is enough to treat my whole face. It is advised to avoid the lips and eye area. Following the slime (I'm not being derogatory, I don't know what else to call it) I apply moisturiser as usual. I find I use less moisturiser than before. My skin feels happy and clean. Unsolicited, my dear partner remarked how my skin looks younger and more alive. He added it looks fresh and new, like a paving slab after the rain. What more can a girl ask?

I’m really impressed with this essence! The 96% snail secretion filtrate makes my skin feel instantly hydrated, smooth, and refreshed. It absorbs quickly without stickiness and works well under other skincare products. I’ve noticed a visible improvement in texture and overall skin health. Love that it’s cruelty-free, paraben-free, and alcohol-free — a high-quality, reliable addition to my routine.

I’ve used this snail essence for almost a year, and I’m nearly out, which says a lot. I chose it carefully for its natural ingredients and gentle formula, and it’s been a game-changer for my sensitive skin. The quality is excellent: it feels clean, lightweight, and absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue. My skin feels softer, calmer, and much more hydrated, especially during seasonal changes when it usually gets dry and irritated. It’s great value for money because a little goes a long way, and the results are consistent. The texture is smooth and fresh,not sticky at all and there’s no smell, just a light, neutral scent that feels safe for sensitive skin.

Bought this due to the hype online and have been using consistently for almost 2 weeks now. A good product to add into a skincare routine but not a holy grail IMO. Can help to achieve glass skin, but not on its own. See this as an active skin product - you will need to cleanse, tone, use this then apply moisturiser and serums Pros ✔️ Cost effective - large bottle and small amount required so will last a while ✔️ quality, simple ingredients. No long list of added fragrances etc ✔️ 2x daily use has helped to smooth my skin, improved the effectiveness of moisturising products and soothed blemishes before they escalate Cons ✖️ sticky texture - you’ll either love it or hate it. Personally I’m abit squeamish about snails so it reminds me of slime 🤢 reduce this by applying to wet skin (after cleansing and toning) and by patting to press into skin rather than rubbing

Good quality item Easy to use I use this daily and has improved my skin texture Light to use Its not sticky Moisturises skin Nice glass bottle

I bought Corsx 96 snail mucin serum while also buying the Corsx snail cream for the first time. I was specifically looking for a snail cream and am not on TikTok to follow the beauty trends coming from over there. I had also used kojic acid for the first time having never heard of it and just enjoyed how clean and smooth it made my skin, Within 2 weeks of using the kojic acid my skin started to wrinkle, crack, peel and feel incredibly sore (burning stinging sensation). I'd had a massive reaction to the kojic acid pads I was using. After a week of dowsing castor oil all over my face my skin still felt sore but the castor oil prevented the scarring I was worried about from the peeling skin. In the time of the reaction I received my first delivery of the Corsx and decided to use it on my irritated and sore skin. As I applied the serum the feeling of relief was instant, it didn't provoke the stinging sensation and between the Corsx snail cream and this 96 mucin serum I stood in front of the mirror reapplying both every 5 minutes for 20 minutes such was the instant feeling of relief they gave me. Within 1 week of using morning and evenning my skin had completely healed, I went from having cracked, sore, peeling to my skin being in full on healing mode. I was shocked. I wanted to take a picture of my skin at the time of the irritation but I didn't, but once I began to see the rapid repair the Corsx snail serum and cream had brought I thought it would be too difficult to explain what the before and after pictures were showing because my irritated skin looked deeply wrinkled from the cracking and I didn't want people to confuse the pictures as showing before and after wrinkles. This all happened 10 months ago and I use the snail mucin gratuitously, I apply far more than I need to because a little really does go along way but the slimy feeling as it spreads over my skin feels so cooling and hydrating, a wonderful tonic after washing the face. My skin has never looked better. I use the snail mucin underneath my final sealing moisturiser, and I even use it while dermarolling or microneedling as it gives the slip that helps the needle cartridge travel the skin. In the 10 months I've been using the mucin I have bought x4 bottles, but am only on my second bottle in terms of usage. After the instant relief both the mucin and the cream provided I came back to Amazon and bought LOADS (it was black friday) to make sure I am always well stocked up. I love this stuff and it has only taken me so long to write a review because I don't have the words to really convey how brilliant it it.

Let me start by saying I have pretty good skin overall. It’s very dry but clear, and I’m also a beauty and skincare content creator so I’m used to trying out products and knowing what to look for. I bought this snail mucin essence during a sale because I kept seeing it all over TikTok and social media, and I was curious to see if it lived up to the hype. Unfortunately, for me it didn’t. I’ve given it a chance. I took it with me while travelling, used it consistently at home and on holiday, but I just didn’t get the results others seem to rave about. When I used it on its own it felt like it wasn’t doing much. My skin didn’t feel noticeably more hydrated or moisturised, and there was no visible glow or improvement in appearance. It didn’t break me out or cause any issues, but it just didn’t add anything either. That said, there are a few positives. The consistency is lovely and smooth, and I like the cooling feel when applying it. It sinks into the skin quickly and leaves it feeling soft to the touch. It’s also fragrance-free, which is a huge plus, especially for people with sensitive skin. And it’s a great travel size. It fit perfectly in my hand luggage and felt like a convenient addition to my routine when layered with other products. Interestingly, it did seem to work better on my mum’s skin. She has more mature combination skin, and it left her face looking more hydrated and plump. So it may just be one of those products that works differently depending on your skin type. In my opinion this isn’t a miracle product like it’s made out to be on social media but it could still be worth trying if you’re curious and want something light to layer in your routine.

My dermatologist recommended this and I can't thank her enough. Absorbs well & feels lovely on the skin. Very hydrating. Apply after cleansing, let absorb and then lock in the hydration with a moisturiser & sunscreen.
