Is this for you?

The famous COSRX Snail Mucin Essence is famous for a reason - this weird and wonderful Korean skincare product uses snail secretion to help repair and hydrate the skin, imparting a natural glow while it’s at it.

    Zoeee

    This has helped so much give a good glow
  5. Notice difference to my skin

    Crystal

    My skin looks more plump and hydrated throughout the day
  6. A favourite

    Aj

    Its lightweight formula absorbs quickly, leaving my skin incredibly hydrated and smooth. A true game-changer in my skincare routine.
  7. Boring

    Eb

    Expected big things, but all it did was make my skin dry. Literally didn’t do anything else. Meh.
  8. Silky dewy skin

    Love it

    Not gonna lie, the thought of snail goo on my face had me raising an eyebrow but seeing as it was cruelty free I gave it a go. I will definitely repurchase as it has now become an essential part of my skincare routine. It soothes my skin after cleansing and toning, and it hydrates well, giving me a dewy glow. Love it.
  9. Nice and hydrating

    Shaz

    It's nice and hydrating. If you want an extra boost of hydration before putting on moisturiser, this is it. However for me I think I can get away with not having it, and just have a super hydrating moisturiser.
  10. average

    sally

    It is a decent product that feels nice on the skin but i didn’t see a difference in my skin overall
  11. Silly Skin

    Dona

    Amazing serum, skin feels smooth and silky, very hydrating gives natural glow to your skin.
  12. So silky smooth!

    Snowshark

    Had heard good things about this on TikTok, so gave it a shot and it’s very slimy but it ends up being so smooth on your face! I love adding it to my routine when my skin is feeling a bit dull/dry. My mum loves it so much she has been stealing it from me also lol
  13. Instant glass skin

    Tash

    I’ve been using Korean skin care regularly for about 2 months and I saw results almost immediately, with this product being used everyday morning and night. Good results for the price
  14. So good

    Idk

    I totally understand the hype on this it makes my skin so soft and smooth
  15. Super hydrating

    Jasmine

    It is super hydrating I just do not like how it feels on my hands, otherwise it is a top product
  16. Alright

    Idk

    I bought this because everyone was talking about it definitely hydrated my skin really well but I don’t think it’s as special as it was made out
  17. Very moisturising

    Hidden secret

    Omg how awesome is this stuff! I mainly use this for my neck and décolletage, as I find it very moisturising.
  18. Glowy

    S

    Is really hydrating my skin, all day in office under aircon, can’t feel dryness of my face after applied under make up.
  20. A must-have for hydrated skin

    Anyaanya

    I am on my third bottle of this product, I love it. It works very well through keeping the skin hydrated. It works nicely before serums/retinols and soaks into the skin quickly.
  21. Hydrating

    Elle

    I am probably on my 3-4 bottle of this - it's a great first product to help your hydrating serum soak in!
  22. love the product!

    Thrish

    Within the first use I could feel my skin being instantly smooth and hydrated. I absolutely loved this one. I bought this cause a lot of my friends recommended this product. Its definitely worth the hype
  23. Glass like finish

    Kyrajade

    I’ve tried other products but always come back to the snail mucin. So light and effective in giving the skin a nice glow as well as a little bit of hydration
  24. Nice

    Tiffany

    Nice moisturiser though a bit sticky. Not sure that it is thaaat much better than other moisturisers or serums. Don't quite understand the hype.
  25. So moisturising

    Nazzy

    You should def get rlly good for dry skin
  26. It’s good

    Batool

    But if you’re allergic to dust mites do not buy.
  27. Cult for a reason

    Vic

    This product is moisture and glow in a bottle. Super smoothing and hydrating. my skin loves it so much I don't remember what it's like without it anymore as it's a staple in my cabinet.
  28. Great for improving your skin barrier

    Love it

    Perfect product to help maintain skin barrier. I've noticed a difference with constant use over the past couple months, my skin is no longer dry in the mornings or night. Highly recommend

    C

    I wanted to love this but just didn’t see the results. Very sticky and uncomfortable
  33. A must have!!!

    Hydrating power essence

    Would use the snail muchin on the days I do chemical exfoliations. I love it for the soothing and hydrating it provides.
  34. Love

    CaitlinG

    This is the best serum! I will always buy this!
  35. Love it

    Izzy

    Really hydrating, did not break me out. Works well on my combination, acne prone skin.
  36. Works for me

    Su

    I have dry skin and this is perfect for me. Pretty sure this would be fine for people with combination, oily skin as well because it is quite light and hydrating. 
  37. My skin loves snail mucin

    Car

    I have combination to oily skin and my skin thrives on snail mucin
  38. Overhyped

    Jess

    I personally find this super overhyped. It’s not a bad product but I also don’t think it works? For me it sits weird on the skin. Not my favourite.
  39. Holy Grail

    Kira

    This is my 2nd full item bought. I have very dry skin and this is without fail a needed item. Thick but doesn’t have a heavy smell and quenching
  40. Loved it

    Amu

    My face became so soft and it can be used as a base for makeup too.
  41. Hydrating!

    Patchy

    I do love this product but the all in one snail mucin has me in a chokehold. This would be perfect if the all in one is too rich for you.
  42. Good

    A

    This is a good hydrating serum
  43. Love it!!

    Sun

    It makes your skin look nice and smooth. It really keeps my skin hydrated. I love it!!
  44. Good for hydration

    D

    I've sensitive skin & use this after my main serum as a moisturising layer. Lasts ages too.
  45. Feels wrong but so so good!

    Gods best creation

    My skin is so dewy and soft after using this product. I love it (even if it’s a bit weird)
  46. Good for dry skin

    SL

    Heard a lot of good review about this product and finally able to try it out. And yes, it is a must have. Ive been usinv it for 2weeks now and my skin feel so hydrated. I use moisturiser as well, but with the help of this essence, my moisturiser can absorb better on my skin.
  47. Love it

    Kb

    I really love it..it improve my skin dullness..it makes my skin super hydrated

    Danielle

    First time buying this product, obsessed with it !
  49. Magical

    Zim

    I used 2nd bottle of this serum…it works really magical on my skin..super hydrated and nourish the skin..suitable for all skin type..must buy
  50. Meh

    Caitlin

    Bought this following all the hype a while back. Unfortunately it broke out my skin and did nothing to hydrate it either.
  51. Love it

    GG

    Super hydrating, nice and tacky so great to layer in my skin scare routine, it’s as good as everyone says. Love.
  52. Thanks snails

    Kazo

    Thanks snails for whatever it is your adding to this serum. I have glossy, bouncy, hydrated and more clarified skin because of you slippery suckers. One of the staples in my routine now.
  53. glow from within, from a bottle

    em

    Really helps pick up my dry and dull skin, feels kind of weird/fun to apply. I do think it may be the culprit of some of my new breakouts uniformly, but not everyone will be sensitive to snail mucin. I continue to use it on any dry patches and under my eyes now instead of my entire face
  54. Surprisingly pleased

    Lucy

    Never would I ever thought I'd be putting what is essentially snail slime on my face. After reading dozens of reviews, I finally bit the bullet. I was pleased to find there was no trace of fragrance, the consistency means you don't need much in each application, and the bottle is a good size, meaning it'll be a while before I need to repurchase. Applied before my serum, I find this to be an eas...

  55. Love this stuff!

    TC

    My sensitive skin struggles with a lot of products on the market, but not this one. Sure the texture's a bit weird, but my skin soaks it up and just glows. Skin feels plump and smooth and healthy and my foundation goes on smooth like butter.
  56. Good hydration

    Shaz

    I really like the hydration this gives but unfortunately this made me breakout a few times. I'm guessing my skin doesn't love it, what a shame I really hoped for good results with this one.
  57. love it

    helena

    my skin loves this. however, texture is a bit gross and you need a fair amount to evenly spread over skin.
  58. Ok

    Jess

    Nice hydration, didn’t notice much of a difference though. Won’t re purchase
  59. so good :)

    KE

    so beautiful made my skin so glowy and smooth helped heal up my scarring and dark spots also my skin so hydrated will be repurchasing
  60. My new favourite product!

    DaniExfoliates

    I was super sceptical about using this with combo (normal-oily) skin but WOW! This has done wonders for levelling out oil production and smoothing my skin texture. I’ve also had some sensitivity post a retinol & Vit C overuse mishap (do not recommend 😅) and this has helped get my skin back on track like nothing else. A new staple in my PM routine, even as the weather warms up! Bless the snails!
  61. Pretty Great at Locking in Hydration

    Alex Q

    This is a great serum to look moisture in, be sure to use on damp skin and press into the skin. It has a sticky texture that fades once you top with moisturiser.
  62. Okay

    Sez

    It feels nice going on, though I found I needed a fair amount to spread across face and neck. Friends have highly recommended, but I haven’t really noticed a difference using this.
  63. Snail mucin is great!

    Lily

    I was a bit hesitant to try snail mucin because… snails. However I am amazed at the results! My skin is GLOWING. This product leaves my skin feeling smooth, plump and firm. It doesn’t cause me to become oily and I love how quickly the formula dries down. I will definitely repurchase this product. I think I am a convert. Once you get past the snail of it all, it’s a really nice product and the bene...

  64. Alright Product

    NA

    This product is ok. It only adds hydration and it could be used under makeup. I don’t get the hype though.
  65. Breaks me out

    Caitlin

    I did feel that this was fairly hydrating, but I did find that it broke my skin out a little after using it.
  66. So good and amazing value

    CeeCee

    Really loved this to soothe and hydrate my skin! It’s so nice to use, at any point in your skincare routine, and sits well under makeup. This lasted me so long, such good value for money. Would absolutely repurchase!
  67. Great staple of mine in the bathroom

    Troy

    Cant go without this. Makes my skin feel plump and hydrated and glowing all the time. It feels like nothing on my skin at all, in a good way of course. I mix all my other serums and products with this and it seems to work with most of everything that I use. It even is meant to apparently make some things like niacinamide work better. I mix my retinol with this to help it spread more On its own ...

  68. Favourite Everyday essence

    Edie

    My go to everyday essential, it definitely locks in hydration for my dry skin. And it’s not overly sticky like other toners or essences and I like that it’s fragrance free
  69. Amazing

    Marta

    This is an amazing essence. Highly recommended for every day use.
  70. not a fan of snail

    honeybunn

    not a fan of snails, bought it to try but doesn't feel stick, but i don't feel any different and just dislike the thought of having snails mucin on my skin.
  71. Better for oily skin

    M

    This product is okay but I found the 92 all in one cream works better for my sensitive skin. This one was quite drying but the cream is thicker and adds more moisture. Would say this one is more suited to oily skin.
  72. Amazing Product

    Erica

    I started using this product when I noticed a few breakouts and areas of texture on my face. My skin has since become smoother with less breakouts, and I’ve found my skin tone to appear more even as well.
  73. magical product

    aamna

    It was incredibly hydrating, gave my skin a glass look and overall was just incredible
  74. Completely changed my complexion

    Reisy

    This product has completely smoothed out my skin and made my skin glow and look dewy 24/7. I’m 32 and I get told I look mid 20s all the time.
  75. Love

    Kate

    Love it. Great feeling on the skin. Be careful if you have dust mite allergies because you might react to this
  76. My skins bestie

    Emma

    Love ending my day using this product
  77. Absolute love

    Bec31

    I’ve really really enjoyed introducing this into my routine. I used it in the morning before my moisturiser and my skin is so clear and glowing!
  78. The goat

    jess

    This is always reliable, so light and moisturising, hydrating. I have rosacea and irritated skin, this calms it down, makes it look glowy. I love this for mixing with other serums, oil or aloe vera. This is one product I've used for years and never switched up, it's always reliable.
  79. Wonderful

    Sam

    Wonderful hydrating serum. I like to layer with other hydrating product or simply use under makeup. You will notice skin is more hydrated and plump with ongoing use. Affordable price point and decent volume of product.
  80. affordable

    Jas

    For the price this is a good serum, i apply it after la roche posay hylaronic acid and it keeps my skin well hydrated and soft. using it alone doesnt seem to work as well for my dry sensitive skin. Overall is good to try out for the price.
  81. Thank you, snails

    Elle

    Thank the lord for snails because this stuff is to die for. Locks in moisture, makes my skin feel bright and bouncy, one bottle lasts forever!!!
  82. Amazing

    Hayley

    After going back on the pill it took longer than usual for my acne covered skin to recover. It was dry, thirsty and dull. A naturopath in the UK recommended this product. When I cam back to Australia I dreaded the cost of having to get it from the UK but…thank god for Adore Beauty that’s all I have to say. It’s pretty much all I need for my skin to look plump and hydrated. Absorbs well and works w...

  83. Great for Makeup Prep

    Renee

    I bought this originally as skincare, and while it is a great skincare step day or night for my dry skin, I found that it dries down tacky too. As a makeup artist, I started using it on all my clients, and it gives a great base for hold and helps to make the finished product more glowy. I use it on oily clients too because its not greasy.
  84. Really nice

    April

    Only four stars because the first time trying this I applied way too much and ended up with acne, I’ve incorporated a little bit of this into my routine and really enjoy it for a healthy glow, a little is all you need
  85. Amazing for glowy skin

    Thomas

    Literally tried so many creams, lotions, serums etc. This has outperformed literally every serum I've tried that costed over $100. I have acne and this actually makes it better, less inflamed! Repurchased it and will continue to do so.
  86. Soothing

    Jane

    I found this really easy to wear and use. The texture feels thick and sticky initially, but dried really nicely and soothing for me.
  87. Incredible

    Mikayla

    This product has really helped to improve my skin texture and overall clear the bumps. Definitely recommend getting

  89. Saved my dry skin

    Aisha

    This product has saved my skin during winter. It has helped soooo much with my makeup application and overall skin texture! Wish I could bath in this stuff lol
  90. Plumping

    Yaz

    This will be forever in my rotation. It has a thick consistency but soaks into your skin and plumps like no other essence I’ve tried. It’s great if your skin is irritated.
  91. Worth the hype

    Rae

    Bought this after seeing lots of talk about it on the internet. I have sensitive/dry skin and my skin just gulps this up. It really helps add an extra layer of moisture that seeps into my skin, working wonders with any product you put on top or below it.
  92. Wow

    Fatoom

    I found this curing my acne prone skin it gets rid of dark spots and redness suitable for sensitive skin like mine and is a great affordable essence, fun to play with aswell
  93. Weird concept but it seems to work

    Laura

    I was really skeptical and weirded out about the whole idea of pulling snails on my face, and put off this purchase for a long time. However, with sensitive skin and the Melbourne winter in full forces put aside my weird feelings and purchased. I've been using it for about a week now and already my skin is less red and feels more moisturized. As for the product itself, thankfully it has no smell! ...

  94. Hydrating

    Stef

    I use this am and pm everyday. Makes my skin feel very hydrated and is kind to my sensitive skin.
  95. Love this essence!

    Sia

    I'm so glad this is now available on AB! I forgot about this product for years until recently rediscovering it, and I absolutely love it. It's an essential in my morning routine. Soaks in easily before other oils and creams - I even mix it with a little High Beam highlighter from Benefit to give an all over glow. Love it!
  96. Worth the hype

    LScott

    I have extremely sensitive acne prone skin and am on medication from the dermatologist which makes finding products that don’t set it off. This is one of the few products that is worth the hype. It’s not going automatically give you glass skin but it’ll help a lot to restore your skin barrier.
  97. Works Wonders!

    Maddie

    Results can be seen after the first use. immediately hydrates and makes the skin smooth and supple. also has been removing my acne scars! I use 3 pumps every night, put it on your face while it's wet and the leftovers on your neck and chest. will be repurchasing. if you are prone to reactions from dust mites don't use!
  98. So hydrating

    Tayla

    I use this product on damp skin after washing my face at night and then lock it in with a thick moisturiser so it does not feel sticky. My skin feels great. The best it ever has. This has provided so much hydration especially during winter. Love love love and will absolutely repurchase.
  99. Dewy and leaves a glowy finish

    Olivia

    This was a great purchase, it makes my skin so hydrated and leaves a beautiful glow. I usually use this after cleansing, or before putting on makeup and it looks flawless. If you have allergies to snail mucin or dustmites I don't recommend you use this or it may break you out as it did to my friend.
  100. Use more than you think you should!

    Dana

    Use heaps and pat it into your skin for better results. I mix with HA and put moisturiser on top. Skin feels great afterwards and no break outs/irritation.
