COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence - Ulta Beauty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An essential part of my skincare routine! I use this coupled with the all in one cream and it leaves my skin feeling supple and glowing!

I'm completely underwhelmed by this miracle product. I've been using this 2x daily for 2 months and am halfway through the bottle. I haven't experienced any of the claims like smoother skin, less irritation, etc. I have sensitive combination skin, and since adding this to my routine, I've had small breakouts on my chin and the pores on my nose are more clogged; I've had to start using nose strips which I stopped a few years ago. The mucin irritated my skin initially; after the first 2 weeks, I started to notice a slight burning sensation when applying products to my face, just like when I first started using retinol. After doing more research and looking at Cosrx's own website, I'm convinced the main benefit of this is hydration and everything else is just marketing. I think users with dry skin will benefit, but since I have oily/combination skin, it doesn't help me. I also live in a hot and humid place. I might give this a second shot in the winter to see if my skin feels better, but for now, I don't plan to re buy.

I think im on my 5th or 6th bottle of this stuff which says A LOT because I am very indecisive and also very picky when it comes to skincare. I recommend this to all my friends. It has changed my skin and helps so much. I started using this when I was pregnant and had terrible cystic acne on my jaw. When I tell you after the first use, I was hooked. It made my skin look so bright and hydrated and got rid of my cystic acne. I still do get random flareups here and there because my hormones are kind of all over the place but this helps calm it down so much and get rid of it quicker and helps scarring. I also use it on my chest. Just try it!!!

Okay, let's talk about my holy grail serum: COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence. I've been using this for years—bought it online, grabbed it at Ulta, and never once had an issue. It's a skincare ride-or-die for my combination, clear-but-textured skin. First things first: yes, it's slimy. Like, actual snail vibes. If you have sensory issues, you might wanna patch test mentally before physically. 😂 But once you get past the texture—whew!—this stuff delivers. ✨ It pairs beautifully with The Ordinary Niacinamide (my old duo days), sinks in like a dream, and gives me that "glass skin" glow without feeling heavy or greasy. I use just a pump or two (a little goes a long way) and it lasts me 3+ months easy, even with daily use. And the bottle? Yeah, it looks small, but it's a deceptive queen—don't underestimate her. People literally stop me to ask what I use. "You're glowing!" "Your skin looks so smooth!"—thank you, snail slime. No stinging, no burning, no white cast. Just plump, juicy, lit-from-within skin. If you're on the fence, consider this your sign. 🐌💧

I love this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Power Essence is a must! This formula is easily absorbed and does not leave any stickiness. COSRX’s snail mucin formula and products are the best to heal and improve your skin. I’ve lived in Hawaii all my life and I’m 61 years old…grew up going to the beach in my younger days. So my skin shows it now. But the COSRX snail mucin line is definitely improving the texture of my skin. Thank you COSRX🙏

As soon as i put it on the first time my skin burned so bad and turned blotchy and red. I think theres better things out there without finicky risks.

absolutely love this product been using it for years. I pray this company does not stop making this. This product helps with my overall skin health and appearance. But like all skincare with actives need to know the proper application and what other products you use on skin with product. People need to stop just using skincare products for hype do your research simple as that.

Love this product! It's a staple in my skincare routine. I like that its hydrating and gives your skin a "glass" like texture.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product! I broke out the first three days but I could tell it was because my pores were clogged up. I have been using this product for two weeks now and my skin is glowing flawlessly. I also like the fact that the product is affordable! I was a La Roche Posay fan since my skin is sensitive, but I think COSRX might become my new favorite. It's too early to tell though

I love this essence as part of my skin flooding routine. I even like to use it chilled. I use it after my hydrating toners and before my serums and moisturizer. It definitely gives glass skin. I will say I do not use it under make up as it pills for me. I appreciate that it does not have a fragrance and has a clean ingredient list.

I love this essense as part of my skin flooding routine. I put it on damp skin after ny hyrdarinf toners and before serums and moisturizer. It gives a glass skin that lasts all day. I will say, I do not care for it under make up as it pills for me. But other than that I highly recommend. Also, try it chilled!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this product. I’m on my second bottle and see the change in my skin. Dullness has gone away!

Makes skin feel moisturized and smooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The appearance of my skin after using this essence is dramatically better and healthier. I recommend anyone struggling with skin rashes to try this essence, it’s really hydrating and it also works well!

Makes my skin feel soooo supple. I have combination skin and honestly if I wanted to just put the serum on my face without my regular moisturizer, I would probably try to, that's just how hydrating it is for me. 10/10

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 4th-5th purchase. It helps with hydration, evens out skin and reduces dark spot. I must also add that the snail gel is very soothing in the skin and leave that glowy look. However, the advanced snail 3 in one helps to moisturize your skin and leaving you looking soft and tender. It’s a good buy, I must recommend.

This is a great product. My first ever snail mucin product. It is so hydrating. I wake up with such dewy skin. It does not bother my rosacea. One tip, pat this on damp skin. You'll love it!

Gentle on skin
