The COSRX Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is a cult favorite essence loaded with 96% snail mucin extract to replenish and repair damaged skin to its healthiest. Snail is known for its powerful skin-transforming and repairing properties.
The Snail Mucin helps the skin to prevent and repair damages and fills the skin with elasticity for healthier, younger-looking skin. It has the ability to repair everything from dry patches, to acne breakouts, and lightening hyperpigmentation with regular use.
How is the Snail Mucin extracted?
The snails are placed over a mesh in a dark and quiet room, where they are left alone to freely roam the net and leave mucin in their trails. There is no external process applied or the mesh to force mucin production.

This product is probably one of the most hyped in K-Beauty. It was also my first purchase from CosRX.
Review after 4-5 months of usage-
Skin Type: Dry, sensitive
Pros: Within the first week, it worked like magic and I had no dry, flaky patches in the morning. Tightness reduced – great if you have a dehydrated skin condition, irrespective of your skin type. Secondly, during the time I had ruined my skin barrier, it soothed my skin – the mucin has healing properties. Thirdly, it is pocket friendly for a 100ml bottle.
Cons: Caused a few breakouts at the start (not anymore). Upon reading the customer reviews on other websites, I found that snail mucin can certainly cause acne for some people. Many like the Benton Snail Bee Essence over this one, so you might check that out too.

I love this COSRX snail mucin essence
To be honest I can’t think of complete skincare routines without this. It’s also give you that glass skin look if you layer it correctly. I’ve oily acne prone combination skin so my skin gets dehydrated preety easily also dull at a times so I was afraid at first to whether or not it’s gonna be too much for my skin or not but I’m glad that I did give it a try. I’ve emptied 3 bottles of this already waiting to buy to another one as soon as it’s get in stock.

Writing a review after 3 years of continuously using cosrx snail mucin essence ???? This was my first ever k beauty product which I bought after doing tonnes of research on acne and its causes. After few weeks of using it, i felt like it was not showing any results except moisturizing my skin. They I began getting less and less pimples with time and I began to understand how this product helped in fixing my skin barrier and moisturizing – 2 of the most important things to do to avoid acne. With long term usage, it also helps in lightening acne scars. This will be a staple product in my skincare routine for yrs to come.

I’m reviewing this after using it for a month. This is my first ever cosrx product. The fun texture is to love for, and honestly, during my initial days, using a pump is not that moisturizing and then started using two pump of it , which makes me to feel so nourished and also moisturized, my angry acne started to subside after using them. Overall a big thumbs up.

This is the best product from Cosrx. Using this regularly will give good results. One star less, because spotted that phenoxyethanol is in the middle of ingredients list. Earlier it was at the bottom of the list.

This was my first kbeauty product ever and the amount of research I put in before zeroing in on this was all worth it!! Its hands down one of the best I have ever used ????????
Over time with regular usage it made my skin healthy and moisturised, soothing and calming acne and inflammations, protecting the skin barrier and even fading some pigmentation and scarring. You can’t go wrong with this – its gonna help with most skin issues, just give it time.
And the texture is fine… May seem thick or slimy but it is so hydrating and absorbs without leaving any oilyness, really you stop thinking after some time. And I love that it has no fragrance!
Only issue – its availability!!! It’s so hard to find it in stock anywhere! I start looking couple months before the bottle finishes
Just give it a try, you won’t regret it.

I have combination skin which is really oily in summers with all the sensitivities. Not many products suit me. I really wanted to try it after reading so many good reviews. It did not suit me at all. I had so many pimples, acne and whatnot. The CC were all over my face. I had to stop using it and now i don’t know what to do with it. If you have skin issues like me, please reconsider or I would suggest if you can buy samples somewhere. Now it’ll just sit on the shelf or I’ll have to give to someone.
