COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence (100ml)

Meet the original viral K-beauty essence. The COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is a lightweight, hydrating treatment made with 96% Snail Secretion Filtrate. It deeply hydrates, plumps skin to soften the look of fine lines, and supports barrier repair for a healthier, more resilient complexion. The water-based formula absorbs in seconds without feeling sticky or greasy, helping you build that coveted dewy, glass-skin glow.

The COSRX Snail Mucin Essence suits all skin types, from dry and normal to oily, combination and sensitive, thanks to its gentle, fragrance-free formula. It's especially loved by Cherubs working on hydration, fading acne scars, soothing sensitive or post-inflammatory skin, and softening fine lines. If you're new to K-beauty essences, this is the cult product that started it all. Cruelty-free, and lovely as a daily layer in any routine.

Snail mucin (also called Snail Secretion Filtrate) is the one to reach for if you're working on dehydration, post-acne marks, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, dullness or barrier damage. The 96% concentration in this essence delivers serious hydration, glycoproteins that support skin repair, and naturally occurring allantoin and hyaluronic acid that plump and soothe. A beautiful pick for acne-prone skin softening marks without irritation, or anyone wanting that dewy glass-skin look.

Yes, snail mucin layers beautifully with both. Pair it with retinol at night to soothe and hydrate skin while the retinol works its magic (apply snail mucin first, let it absorb, then your retinol). With vitamin C in the AM, apply vitamin C first, then layer snail mucin on top to lock in moisture. It's one of the most layer-friendly K-beauty essences, gentle enough to use alongside almost any active in your routine.

Use the COSRX Snail Mucin Essence after cleansing and toning, but before your serum or treatment step, both morning and night. Dispense a small amount onto your fingertips and pat gently into damp skin until fully absorbed. Many Cherubs layer two or three thin layers for extra hydration. Follow with serum, moisturiser and SPF (in the AM). Pairs especially well with the COSRX Snail 92 All in One Cream as a complete ritual.
