A great alternative to the sebamed face care gel, as it quite expensive compares to this, using this as moisturizer day & night, it hydrates my skin but doesnt make it oily, skin is less oily than usual, fungal acne safe, but it kind of stings my skin af but doesnt damages my skin(????) it also have this kinda like chemical gasoline scent idk how to explain it prolly from the naturaly derive Show more
I have been alternating between this and benton aloe gel. Works just fine, stings a bit. A little stickier than Benton but way cheaper. Very multipurpose and so far seems good for my fungal acne in a humid weather.

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
