Reviews

Consistent user and will continue repurchasing

"I’ve been using this snail mucin consistently for the past 5 years. It’s really transformed my skin and helped with brightness, plumpness, and overall look! I follow a consistent routine and this is always the first product I start with. I’ve never partner with a brand for this product, just a regular person who loves it lol. meal"

— Amanda L. (5/5)

I’ve been using the COSRX

"I’ve been using the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence for a few weeks now, and my skin has never felt more hydrated and smooth. The texture looks thick at first, but it absorbs beautifully without feeling greasy or heavy. It leaves my skin with such a healthy, dewy glow and has really helped calm dryness and improve overall texture. I also noticed my skin feels more plump and balanced, especially during days when it’s feeling tired or irritated. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts forever. This has easily become one of those skincare products I never want to be without!"

— Dipali S. (5/5)

Amazing, it’s such a notable

"Amazing, it’s such a notable difference on the skin immediately, it’s not overwhelming the scent is amazing and subtle. Ugh I can’t get enough, I just got the bonding oil as well and it’s just overall immediate quality in all products"

— Raquel T. (5/5)

I’ve been using the COSRX

"I’ve been using the COSRX Snail Mucin product for a while now, and honestly, it has helped my skin so much. I had issues with dryness and acne marks, and nothing seemed to work consistently. After adding this to my routine, I started noticing real changes—my skin feels more hydrated, smoother, and the acne scars have visibly reduced. What I love the most is how lightweight and gentle it is. It doesn’t irritate my skin at all, and it absorbs quickly without feeling sticky. My skin looks healthier and more glowy now, even without makeup. This product has definitely become a staple in my skincare routine. Highly recommend it to anyone dealing with dull, dry, or acne-prone skin!"

— karishma s. (5/5)

Glow Up!

"This is my secret to glowing skin! While I enjoy all of the Mucin line, this is the one thing I keep in everyday routine. It is hydrating, easy to apply, and give my skin such a brilliant shine, without looking too glassy. I have gotten non-stop compliments on my “healthy glow” since incorporating it into my routine, and it is also nice that I can find this at my local stores! This is the one essence that I can’t live without!"

— Brent R. (5/5)

I’ve been using the Advanced

"I’ve been using the Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence for a while now, and it genuinely delivers on hydration and skin repair. The texture is lightweight but slightly viscous, and it absorbs well without leaving a greasy feeling. My skin feels noticeably softer, smoother, and more plump after consistent use. It helped calm irritation and improved my skin barrier, especially when my skin felt حساس or overworked. However, it’s not a miracle product for dark spots or anti-aging on its own—you’ll need stronger actives for that. Overall, it’s an excellent supporting product in a skincare routine, especially if your goal is hydration, soothing, and maintaining healthy skin."

— Ivette D. (5/5)

The Snail 96 Mucin Power

"The Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is a great addition to my skin care routine. I love the way it feels, it's kind of slimy so be prepared, but it makes my face feel very clean and hydrated. The only downside to this product that I noticed was that I had a break-out of acne after using it twice. I will continue to try it occasionally as its properties are unmatched. The radiance of my skin after using was undeniable!"

— Emma O. (4/5)

I've been using the Advanced

"I've been using the Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence for six months now and really like how it makes my skin feel. My skin is more hydrated and some of the fine lines have diminished."

— Susan K. (5/5)

This is a staple in

"This is a staple in my routine. Sooo soothing and calming. Have repurchased many times and will always have it in my routine. Anytime your skin is unhappy or irritated, this will help!"

— Lori B. (5/5)
