If I had to pick something, maybe the scent? It's not that it smells bad, it's just not to my personal taste.

The texture is quite unique, but it absorbs quickly into the skin. When you apply it before bed, you'll wake up with noticeably improved skin condition.

어드벤스드 스네일 96 뮤신 파워 에센스

In summer, this alone can replace heavy creams, making it all you need.

The hydration level might not be sufficient for those with dry skin. You need to allow enough time for it to fully absorb.

A perfect essence for summer use. Just two pumps provide ample coverage for your face. It starts off feeling hydrating and then leaves your skin smooth after absorption.

No real downsides to speak of. It appears to be most effective when used both morning and night.

Absorbs well and provides great hydration. Doesn't cause blemishes. Seems like a solid choice for everyday use.

I use it before bed like a skin pack, letting it absorb layer by layer, and it makes my face feel incredibly firm!

The downside is that it can be a bit drying when used alone on dry skin.
Still, I love how it makes my skin feel firm when applied.

It feels a bit sticky at first, but it's fine once it's applied.
As I have dry skin,
I like to apply this serum generously
and follow up with a rich cream for best results.
If you're using it alone, I'd recommend it for oily skin types.
For those with dry skin like me, I suggest using it before other serums
or pairing it with a thicker cream!

It feels like it's filling your skin with hydration, similar to a moisture essence!

The packaging is a bit inconvenient! It would have been better if the pump part protruded a little more.

I used to dislike snail-based products because they felt sticky, but I'm really satisfied with COSRX's version. It absorbs well without any stickiness.

The ingredients were all good, but it contains phenoxyethanol.
Those who are sensitive to this ingredient should definitely check the ingredients.

The essence contains a snail mucin formula,
to cut to the chase, it seems to be a good essence for my skin as it suits my skin well.

There is no stickiness, and it applies with a slightly slippery feeling,
but the skin absorption is not bad. Right after application, it feels smooth,
but as it absorbs into the skin, it leaves the skin feeling soft and moisturized.

The ingredients are relatively mild, so there were no breakouts.
After applying it generously and allowing it to fully absorb, and then waking up,
my skin condition had improved.

The formula is not sticky and not burdensome, so it seems it would not be too heavy to use in the summer.

For better absorption, apply this essence after using a toner.

The sticky texture might be hit-or-miss for some users, and it could potentially irritate super sensitive skin.

Contains 96% snail mucin filtrate, excellent for skin regeneration and hydration, smoothing out skin texture beautifully.

While the texture might be a matter of personal preference due to its viscosity, it's not extreme. However, the results don't appear as quickly as I expected.

The texture had a nice consistency that made it easy to apply. I was satisfied with the hydration it provided after application.

I make sure to apply it religiously both morning and night.

I'm enjoying it so much that I honestly can't think of any downsides.

As we all know, snail mucin is excellent for hydration, soothing, and repairing the skin. I saw it highly recommended on social media, so I decided to give it a try, and I'm absolutely loving it! It pairs wonderfully with more intense acids - applying it right after helps calm the skin and noticeably reduces irritation. The hydration is fantastic; it absorbs quickly, minimizes tightness, and surprisingly, isn't sticky at all. It's living up to all my expectations. The price point is also quite reasonable, which is a nice bonus.

I can't think of any downsides for my skin! I'm quite satisfied with it.

I love skincare products with a firm texture, and this one makes my skin feel bouncy and plump, which I really enjoy! It's gentle enough to use both morning and night without any issues.

If you've never used snail mucin before, don't apply it all over your face. People with dust allergies generally don't have a tolerance for snail secretion.

After the second week of use, I started experiencing itching and my skin became very red and irritated. It triggered a severe allergic reaction for me. I didn't want to stop using it because it worked so well initially. It took 3 weeks for my skin to return to normal.

At first, I was truly amazed at how it transformed my complexion.

Unfortunately, it's not very hydrating, and after using it, my face feels itchy and I've noticed some blemishes appearing. I tried it because it's popular in North America, but it contains some potentially allergenic ingredients. I'm not sure why it's so popular.

It's quite affordable and comes in a generous size, so you can use it without worrying about running out.
