We’re Obsessed With… This Viral Snail Essence

If you’re a skincare lover, and we bet you are since you’re here, and don’t know about this product, then this is your official warning to come out of your shell and try COSRX’s Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence.

As seen on literally every man and his dog’s FYP on TikTok, this glow-giving, K-Beauty inspired, must-have, facial essence is a game changer.

Enriched with snail secretion filtrate, often referred to as ‘snail slime’ (trust us, it’s not as weird as it sounds), this essence is the perfect middleman between a serum and a toner, and its hero ingredient is key for protecting the skin from moisture loss and improving skin elasticity. The results? Skin is left glowing and hydrated, and who wouldn’t want that.

IT CONTAINS K-BEAUTY HERO SNAIL SECRETION FILTRATE

Snail Secretion Filtrate, also known as snail slime or snail mucin, is packed with skin-loving nutrients like hyaluronic acid, glycoprotein, proteoglycans, antimicrobial and copper peptides, which proven to protect your skin from damage and dehydration. Basically, it’s your one-way ticket to that daily, hydrated glow.

IT'S SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT

We already mentioned that this essence is a serum-toner hybrid, so this means that the texture is super lightweight on the skin, making it perfect to slot into your current skincare routine, without disturbing other products or feeling heavy on the skin.

A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY

Upon first use, don’t be scared of the texture of this essence. It has an almost stringy gel texture upon application, but once it sits on your skin it soon sinks in effortlessly and smoothly. You only need a couple of pumps for your whole complexion, so this little skincare saviour will last you a good few months of consistent daily use, at least.

IT’S SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES

There is no worse feeling than discovering a viral product, that actually works, to then find out that it’s not suitable for your skin type. Luckily for you, that’s not going to happen today. This essence is suitable (and highly recommended!) for daily use on all skin types, and yes we’re even looking at you sensitive skin lot, so stock up.
