COSRX – Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence (100ml)
VETTING STATUS: PASSED. Verified for intensive barrier repair, deep cellular hydration, and superior texture refinement.
The Curator's Summary: If there is one product that justifies the "K-Beauty," it is this. Often imitated but never replicated, this essence is 96.3% pure Snail Secretion Filtrate. This is the ultimate defense against "Trans-Epidermal Water Loss" (TEWL) caused by indoor heating and harsh coastal winds. It functions as a lightweight, breathable liquid bandage that repairs damaged barriers and provides a deep glow without the use of heavy oils or silicones. It is the corrective measure for skin that feels "tight" or looks tired.
Skin Type: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin
The Clinical Formula:
-
96.3% Snail Secretion Filtrate: A powerhouse ingredient rich in Mucin, Hyaluronic Acid, and Glycolic Acid. It is clinically recognized for its ability to accelerate skin regeneration and fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (acne scars).
-
Sodium Hyaluronate: A low-molecular-weight form of Hyaluronic Acid that dives deeper into the dermis than standard versions, ensuring hydration isn't just surface-level.
-
Arginine & Allantoin: Dual-action soothing agents that calm the heat and irritation associated with sensitive or over-exfoliated skin.
How to use:
-
Apply after your toner (Step 2 or 3) while the skin is still damp.
-
Dispense 1–2 pumps onto your fingertips and pat gently into the face and neck. Quick Note: Tapping the product in (rather than rubbing) mimics a professional treatment and aids absorption.
-
Allow 30 seconds for the essence to "sink in" before applying your heavier serums or moisturizers.
-
Use morning and night to maintain a perfectly balanced and clarified complexion.
