Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting, Soothing

Ok
It's a just okay serum. You can get the same result with some other brands half of the price or even better

Went through 2-3 bottles, but ultimately concluded it did nothing but sensitize my skin somewhat. May work well for some people, but I doubt it’s worth the price.

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
