this snail mucin essence really is one of the best ones out there— it's a holy grail. this product was my very first impression of cosrx, and the short ingredient list is very surprising with how effective it is. i've been using it for about a year now, and it's become a staple in my routine. after my first couple weeks of use, a lot of my dark spots disappeared and calmed down my hormonal acne & Show more

This ruined my face! I didn’t know that my dust mite allergy also made me allergic to this. I used it for five months and everything seemed fine, but then I started to get a goatee of fungal acne with big red patches. I’d also been getting a lot of big pimples in my hairline from it. It’s taken me months to understand what happened and to soothe my sad skin. Be warned not to jump off the bridge Show more

I wanted to love this as it scored a 94 for me. My rosacea, dry and sensitive skin didn’t have any reactions but it was not hydrating enough for my dry skin. It also gave my skin an oily film, hard to explain but it seem to sit on the surface and make a barrier so my skin would sweat. It also stung my eyes horrible if I rubbed my eyes during the day at all. It did however have a calming effect Show more

Love this one! This saved my stripped skin barrier and winter dry skin 🤍

I have acne prone and winter dry skin. My skin barrier had become dry and unbalanced. This toner is thin enough to not to clog my pores but moisturizing enough that I barely need to use moisturizer as well. 2-3 layers of this in the morning or evening and just a light layer of moisturizer for a couple of weeks and my skin Show more
