COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

🐌 COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

This essence is a cult-favorite product, famous for its minimalist formula that delivers maximum skin repair, intense hydration, and a smooth, "bouncy" texture.

Product Overview & Key Features

• High Snail Mucin Content: The essence is formulated with an incredible 96% Snail Secretion Filtrate. Snail Mucin is a complex ingredient that contains natural Hyaluronic Acid, Glycoprotein, Enzymes, Copper Peptides, and Zinc—all beneficial for skin health.

• Healing and Repairing: It is highly effective at speeding up skin recovery, fading the appearance of acne scars (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation/Erythema), and calming red, irritated skin. It is often recommended post-breakout.

• Intense Hydration: Due to the naturally occurring Hyaluronic Acid in the mucin, the essence provides deep, lasting hydration, helping to plump the skin and reduce the look of fine lines caused by dehydration.

• Improves Texture: Regular use helps repair the skin's barrier, leading to a smoother, softer texture and a noticeable reduction in overall roughness.

• Unique Texture: The essence has a unique, slightly viscous, slippery texture that absorbs into the skin beautifully, leaving behind a supple and non-sticky finish.

Key Ingredients

✨ How to Use the Snail Mucin Power Essence

The Snail Mucin Essence is used as a prep and repair step, coming right after your toner.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparation: Apply this essence after cleansing and toning (e.g., after the Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner).

2. Dispense: Dispense 1-2 pumps onto your fingertips.

3. Application: Gently pat the essence over your entire face and neck until fully absorbed. The essence is best applied using a patting motion rather than rubbing to help the viscous texture penetrate.

4. Layering: Allow a moment for the essence to fully absorb before following up with your targeted serums. The essence helps the skin absorb subsequent products better.

5. Follow-Up: Proceed with your active serums (like the Anua Niacinamide or BoJ Glow Serum) and then your moisturizer.

Tips for Best Results

• Damp Skin: Always apply this essence to slightly damp skin (just after toning) to maximize its hydrating benefits.

• Snail Synergy: This essence pairs well with almost every active ingredient, acting as a great soothing "buffer" before applying potent products like the K-SECRET Retinal Cream.
