COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

This is the second time I have ordered this item (Snail Mucin) from Beauty & Seoul. This product is amazing! I had run out of it a couple of months ago and simply not got round to reordering. I started my new bottle two days ago and on applying it I remembered why I loved it so much. My skin is looking great; even after only 3 applications. At the moment I am using it and not applying makeup over the top, however, I found that previously its been a good base for both moisturiser and makeup. I will ensure that I always keep it in stock in the future. It glides on wonderfully and doesn't feel sticky despite the name of the product. Can highly recommend it for all age groups.

What a great essence! I am on my 3rd bottle and probably will never stop purchasing. Really helps with hydration, scar healing and overall is a nice daytime or nigh-time routine. Reccommend!

Absorbs well into skin (I pat it on) and provides enough moisture once I’ve washed all the oils off my face.

Love it

If someone had told me i'd be rubbing snail slime on my face a year ago i'd think they were delusional but now it's my go to product, I use it almost religiously. It gives my skin such a healthy glow and feeling perfectly hydrated, I wont leave the house without it on. Worth every penny and lasts a good few months, using it once a day my first bottle lasted me about 6 months. Would highly recommend.

I like this essence - it's light, gentle, hydrating and best of all doesn't harm the snails. The texture is odd and hard to get used to and you won't see a HUGE difference. It's good for hyperpigmentation and dehydrated skin in my opinion but when I use it up (it's a huge bottle so good value for money) I won't be repurchasing.

So slimey - leaves skin feeling amazing, I recommend only using a small amount per day - amazing product definitely on my repeat buy list!

Wonderful product! There is no scent, and the texture is unlike anything I’ve tried before. My skin is plump and hydrated after use.

I absolutely love this product. I’ve only been using it a couple of days and I already notice a difference. My skin can be quite dehydrated and I have a tendency to pick at it, creating scars and scabs. This product has calmed my skin and made it feel so smooth, soft and hydrated and so glowy! A new holy grail for me.

I am totally in love with this product. I was a bit scared when I saw the consistency is somewhat thick, but wow the skin is so plump after I use it. And it didn't break my skin at all, nor did it get oily. Love it!

Super happy with this purchase, I use it after cleansing and toning and it glides onto my skin leaving it soft and prepped for my serums. It calms my skin and leaves it plump.

A really solid product. I have oily/combination/sensitive skin, so I'm only using it at night because during the daytime almost everything that I use literally shows. But it's very hydrating and lightweight at the same time, it absorbs really quickly and I think that it's a really basic, but effective essence, especially for beginners.

I have a very sensitive skin and I tried many products snail mucin based, but I think that this is best and most moisturizing I have ever tried. The dispenser was projected in order to get the amount of product you just need (no waste and it’s very hygienic) since the product tends to be a bit sticky (like true snail mucin should be). I will surely buy it again!

Both of the products seems good! Good packaging. Will repurchase!

the texture takes a bit getting of used to but it gives my skin a great glow and is nice and hydrating too. i rarely wake up with oily skin using this.

the texture needs getting used to. but it has a really hyrdating effect and i notice my acne scars getting lighter.

Transitions from Benton Snail Bee Essenes to this and its lovely! Sinks well in to the skin and leaves it feeling soft. The moisture ampoule and lotion sit well on top and doesn’t feel greasy. 5*

With this being my first time buying and using Korean skincare products I was rather hesitant to dive straight into snail secretion... However I do not regret it at all. This essence is perfectly lightweight and though it did not give me a huge amount of moisture my skin looks brighter and more even in the morning. I wash my hands before use and then put one pump into my palms, rub them together and then apply onto my face. A little goes a really long way! I have been using for nearly two months I have only used a quarter of the bottle!

Perfect essence ! Keeps my skin smooth

This haul from Maree is my first Korean beauty and I'm in love. This COSRX Snail Essence is perfect for my sensitive skin. I use about 1-1/2 pumps to cover my entire face, neck, and chest. At first I would put into my hands and then apply, but got grossed out when I did because it would actually look like snail slime when I pulled my hands apart haha. Now, I just put a blob on each side of my face and spread it around with my fingers. I've been using it a few weeks now and barely made a dent in the bottle! It doesn't have a smell really. My skin drinks it right up. I would say I have more even skin tone now, but I have also been suing the other products in the photo from Maree daily so I can't say it's only from this product. Thanks Maree <3

This essence has a really unique slimy texture that makes it easy to spread on the skin. It feels really soothing and hydrating and it absorbs quickly without leaving behind a sticky residue on the skin. It is a great first step after toning to really help your other products absorb into the skin. The bottle is huge and you only need one pump so it will definitely last for a long time!

Having oily skin, I’m always apprehensive about layering too many products on at once. However, this essence is very lightweight and helps everything absorb into the skin.

This product is absolutely fantastic! Its smooth and leaves my face soft. Love that it's fragrance free, so no irritation whatsoever! Will definitely be repurchasing! Also the delivery and service from Beauty&Seoul was amazing!!!! Already have my eye on a few other products too!!!

What can I say!!! I Absolutely love this Cosrx Snail essence its a game changer. It's now a staple in my morning and night skincare routine. I have seen a real improvement in my skin, so much clearer and smoother; a little goes a long way- you only need 2 pumps for your face and neck area.

I LOVE THIS. This has improved the texture of my skin and evened out my skin tone so much

Highly recommend my skin has never felt better

I’m loving this product. It helped in fading my dark acne spots and is very moisturising as well

This product is amazing for breakout prone skin. I apply to my skin when I feel it is especially congested and irritated only to wake up as if there is nothing wrong with it. It's very viscose but is so lightweight it's insane. Will definitely repurchase once I run out. B xxx

Haven’t seen dramatically results, but I have just started using it

This essence is brilliant, it makes my skin really hydrated and plumped! I just love using it x

Lightweight and not sticky. Layers very well with other products.

Firstly don’t be tempted to use more than one pump. Seriously it doesn’t look a lot but that small amount will cover your whole face. Anymore than that and you will be tapping it into your skin for hours! It feels weird there is no denying that but it leaves your skin feeling plump and I found I used less moisturiser afterwards and it went on so much easier.

Lovely product I only just started using this product, but I used snail products before and I was satisfied so hoping with high % would deliver a better result. You should give it a try.

After first use, skin feels soft and glowing

Very moist, and worth the money.

I honestly love this product makes my skin feel super soft which is great as I have dry skin!!

I think it's a nice product and it does leave my skin feeling nice enough after application, but I'm not sure that after one month of use it made a difference to my skins appearance overall. I might buy again if I was feeling fruit but it's not at the top of my list

I have used this essence for a few months now and it just exceeded my expectations. I have very dry skin and I must say that this product has really made a difference to my skin. It is smooth, very soothing on the skin and really hydrating! A little goes a long way so just a little amount is adequate. Some may find the texture a bit weird but I really don’t mind. I ordered the essence along with other products and they were delivered astonishingly quickly. The packaging was beautiful and every product was so carefully wrapped.

It's offical, i love snail products. After toning this adds a lovely hit of extra moisture and feels very soothing. I can't specifically say if this has helped with acne scaring or not, but it's still an amazing product.

I started using this essence recently after cleansing and toning as an extra hydration layer for my oily/combo dehydrated skin. I love it so far! Glides on very smoothly and leaves my face moisturised. Have also seen a reduction in break outs and a brighter complexion since usage of this in conjunction with niacidinamide serum and a tea tree essence.

First time trying this out and so happy I found Beauty & Seoul. With the combination of the Cosrx Low PH cleanser and Benton Aloe Propolis Gel and this Cosrx Snail Mucin Essence, it lightened my acne scars! Very hydrating and moisturising, definitely repurchasing!

my skin and acne scars have got better within a week and I've never been this amazed by a product!! it is a little bit sticky but it hydrates your skin so I don't mind at all!!

This is one of the very best essence/moisturising products i've ever used. I had eczema for almost 3 months and this product really has helped to repair my skin - outstanding results. Doesn't cause me any irritation at all. Also, a little bit of the essence is all that's needed for me so it's really worth the price, i imagine it will last me a while... looking forward to purchasing again.

With any skincare product, I'm rather sceptical since my skin is a combination of needs. However, I saw results within a week of use of this product - it helped fade my months and year's worth of hyperpigmentation, acne scars and blemishes which was rather surprising. Two months of continual use of this product and it still has lasted (as seen in the photo) with plenty more for future use, definitely recommend.

As you can see I’ve gone through half of it already. I didn’t notice any effect at first it was just nice and super moisturising (which was my primary goal in purchasing it). However as the weeks went by I noticed my acne scars and hyperpigmentation lightened and gave my skin and even tone - not to mention a lovely dewy glow. As someone with dry and sensitive skin I definitely grew to fall madly in love with this product. I will definitely be repurchasing it!

This product is fabulous, I expected it to feel really slimy but it is light and absorbs quickly into my skin. I have used it for just over a week and have seen a difference in my skin. I will definitely be adding this as a regular to my skin care.

I really like this essence! It's so refreshing, gives a great boost of hydration and is nice and light as well.

All sounds a bit weird putting snail mucin on your face but it really does work.I decided to do the 10 step korean skincare ..which is incredibly time consuming and annoying the whole family when I hog the bathroom for hours on end!But using this along with the all in one moisturiser has really sorted my skin out.I have really arkward very sensitive acne prone skin. It has really improved the texture of my skin and feels so smooth since I have been using this.Also good for people who are sensitive to perfumed products as this has none.Highly recommend trying this one .

Such a pleasant texture and absolutely fantastic for healing spots and blemishes. I will keep buying this, it's now a must in my skincare routine.

I use this after I use my oil and foaming washes and toner. It leaves my skin feeling softer and moisturised. I have dry skin especially on my chin and it’s really helped.

I absolutely love this essence! It moisturizes and calms my skin - without feeling heavy or greasy in any way. Definitely a holy grail product!

This is good

Amazing

It was my first time shopping at beauty and Seoul, having previously ordered the same products on Amazon and eBay. However the prices at Beauty and Seoul were a lot more reasonable and the shipping was bang on time. It was really nice to open up the package and see so many free samples! I gave some to my mum as she also wants to start getting into skincare and this is such a good way to test out products before fully committing to them. This is something that Amazon didn't do, of course. As for this snail mucin - it's my holy grail for fading my hyperpigmentation. I've been using it for 2 months and I just ordered this new bottle to replace the old one (so it definitely lasts a long time - and that's with me applying it quite liberally to my neck and face). Everyone has noticed that my skin has cleared up considerably without me even mentioning that I started using products to treat it! If you have hyperpigmentation and are a bit unsure about vitamin c, this is a great alternative. It works but don't expect it to give you results overnight! The earliest I started noticing a difference was about after 1-2 weeks of use (which I think is already very quick seeing as my hyperpigmentation has been on my skin for years!!). I use it twice a day (morning and night).

Really like this product.....like a lot. It helped fade my acne scaring and reduced the size and redness of my current pimples. I use it in my prep routine to get my skin ready for foundation, but I also use it as a sleeping mask. When I do the overnight mask I usually put on a thicker layer and I wake up with plump smooth skin the next day.

Thank goodness I have found that website ❤️ Love all the products! Please keep on bringing stuff in

I like the snail essense, it gives my skin a smooth-silky feeling especially in winter. However, I did experience some pain when I layered it with my Body Shop Vit E serum in the first week. Probably my skin want to get use to it. The pain is gone after a week and now I can apply it on my face without any pain anymore

Wish I had purchased this product sooner, I saw overnight results in terms of redness, irritation and dryness. Although YMMV, I would recommend to anyone on the fench about buying this. Package came quickly and was wrapped with care and a little note. Wouldn't hesitate to order from Beauty and Seoul again.

a fab essenes that gives me moisture as well as reducing the acne scars i have!

Firstly, the product is amazing! My skin had been so dry this winter season but after a few days of applying one layer of this essence on (alongside moisturiser), this problem is long gone! An absolute essential for the dry winter weather; easy to use and does not irritate the skin, hence a thumbs up. Secondly, the service provided by Beauty and Seoul is great! I ordered my product Wednesday night and it was dispatched the next morning - although I paid for first-class mail, I really appreciate how quickly done everything was. Will definitely order from here again!

great essence that provides a supple layer in the first step of my skincare routine! has helped with fading acne scars as well as providing some moisture. not too sticky and absorbs into the skin very well for more products to be applied after!

I don't think this has changed my skin drastically but it is pleasant to use! I bought it thinking it would fade my acne scars but I've been using it for over a month now and I haven't seen any difference. I have dry skin and it does feel quite hydrating. Not sure if I'll repurchase as I've got my eye on the whamisa toner to give me more hydration. I would recommend trying it out as many people seem to have had better results than I have and it's so reasonably priced it's worth the risk!

Love this product!! The best thing I've found from Cosrx so far. Makes my skin so plump and glowy, and even though I've only been using it a few weeks, my acne scars have clearly been fading faster. Plus, it's not tacky at all on the skin. A definite staple in my routine now.

Maree is super helpful would definitely buy from her again!

Love using this essence along with my cleanser, acne patch and one step original clear pads. Dream team for acne prone skin. very hydrating and firming

This product is definitely got a lot of snail mucin, you can feel it in the consistency. It’s the first snail product that I have tried and I use it after moisturing to lock in the moisturise. It does it’s job and helps the skin to lock in the moisture.

I am absolutely in love with this product! My skin is acne-prone and very dry from years of using drying acne creams and incorrect treatments, and I found moisturising creams on their own aren't enough for me in terms of providing moisture. That's why I started browsing for something that will nourish my skin and make it closer to that dewy look that Korean girls have, and found this product. It doesn't break me out, moisturises my skin sooo good and unlike any other product ever, frankly when I put it on it feels like I am giving pure water to my skin! Moreover, it has become one of the couple of products that I never fail to put on every night no matter how lazy/sleepy/drunk I am because it makes such a difference, which is very obvious in the photo by how much I've used up for only a few weeks.

Lovely The essence is very light but so so moisturising, and my skin definitely feels more plump and fresh after using it. It came in a lovely package with a handwritten note, which was such a nice touch!

Love it! I love this essence it provides great moisture and I really feel that it helped in fading my acne scars. It also makes my skin look healthy and doesn't break me out at all. This is definitely a product that I will continue to repurchase.

Combination/Sensitive skin I have to give this 2.5 stars..I ordered this one together with other COSrx products. To be fair, It feels nice, smooth and soothing on my skin but the only downside is that it breaks me out. I used this on top of COSrx BHA Power Liquid and after a few days..i got 3 big zits! Feeling a bit ☹ I was thinking perhaps it doesnt go well with the BHA Power Liquid? I dont know...but im now scared to try it again.

Smooth Really moisturising to the skin, I dont even need to moisturise after using it. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and plump. A little goes a long way.

Combination skin Really love this. It doesnt feel sticky and it does not break out my skin. Been using for a few days but my skin feels smooth.

Combination (Oily and Dehydrated) and Sensitive Skin Easily on of my favorite products! It does not leave my skin feeling sticky at all. Super soothing. Can't wait to see the long term results

Excellent for my dry skin Really helped me with my sensitive/ dry skin. Redness is kept at bay, so really, I love this product after so many other failures. Will be definitely repurchasing this.
