I also think if you have REALLY dry skin you’d probably have to supplement this with another moisturiser. It’s great for providing an instant boost on hydration, but it’s not super effective at retaining moisture. In the winter I tend to use this as an extra layer before I moisturise and this works really well. In fact, doing it this way means that my skin feels SUPER hydrated in the colder months. In your morning skincare routine, be sure to follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

The Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is the most “snaily” of the bunch. Its unique texture is sometimes described as “stretchy” or “stringy” and speaks to its barrier-forming properties. The Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream is similarly stretchy, though with a softer cream texture. The Advanced Snail Radiance Dual Essence cuts the “snaily” texture with its water-based niacinamide portion, for a more traditional essence consistency. Questions about safety of use during pregnancy and breastfeeding are among some of the most common that any cosmetic brand or beauty blogger will receive. It’s such a universal product, I think all skin types would do well with this one (and trust me, I don’t say that often). Maybe it’s because I loved the mucin essence counterpart as well as the low pH cleanser, but I had high expectations for it. I was really expecting it to somehow combine the “greatness” of those two products but it was quite underwhelming.This COSRX kit includes smaller versions of the snail mucin cleanser, essence, eye cream, and the face cream reviewed in this post to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while restoring the skin barrier and soothing the skin.

It has a slightly runny gel texture with a transparent color, sometimes with a blue tint. It lathers up easily and gives a lot of lather, so a little goes a long way.I’m on my second bottle now (lasts for so long) and i have to say it’s one of the best products I have ever used. My skin has been really irritated and inflamed from using tretinoin and this has helped so much. Leaves my skin looking hydrated and pairs nice with the beauty of Joseon collection.
