Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Essence: Why it's my Favorite! 💕

[@kalm911chick9]

I like trying different cleansers, serums and moisturizers, but this is the one product I never skip or leave out. I'm 56 years old and have been using it for around 3 years. I've had several people ask what I use because I have very few wrinkles. They're usually grossed out when I tell them 🤣 But this is the best thing I've found for my aging but oily skin.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I know!!! There are still so many people who hear “snail mucin” and are grossed out. Thankfully some of us know this secret haha 😏😏

[@FourJaysFour]

I have a very oily T-zone even though I'm over 50. I waited SOOO long to try this product because "snail" seemed icky. After I tried & loved several other Cosrx products, I got the mini of this. It is INCREDIBLY soothing & softening, more so than anything else I've tried.

[@lindag1762]

Hey I’d put Cow poop, on my face as long as it was safe. 😜

[@amyyong6250]

I have red dry sensitive skin ..I try 10 other brands ..is this good??

[@Madmarsha]

This is like the one thing I ALWAYS remember to put on every day! It's very viscous and spreads easily. I love it because I hate anything that feels heavy or sticky (like, HATE!). But this is so light on my face ... and I love to tell people snail secretion is my secret beauty ingredient.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

It's so amazing! And yeah it's still kind of a secret somehow, at least in some circles 🤔 I'm convinced it's the best secret as well!

[@becm963]

I use the Cosrx essence every day. I am 47, and I have received many compliments that my skin looks like glass or a doll. I don’t know if it is all from this product, but I am not going to stop using it. It certainly helps when I have damaged my moisture barrier. I have picked it up during the Ulta sale.

[@rebeccadarling5894]

I call this amazing serum my serotonin for the skin. I definitely use this to heal/soothe as I’ve increased my tret strength, it’s wonderful! A bottle lasts me over a year, and for at least the last 2 years has been 50% off during Ulta’s January sale. I enjoyed the bee/honey CosRX serums, but was very happy to return to this once the minis were used up. Holy grail!

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Ok that’s the PERFECT description lol!! Yeah, I have skipped on cosrx’s serums for that reason exactly. However, I will say that the propolis honey overnight mask is another tremendous hit for me!

[@ymc4573]

Do you put this on before tret or after?

[@rebeccadarling5894]

@@ymc4573 I don’t use them in the same routine… at night I do tret (alternate nights w tret and acids), oil, moisturizer and then in the morning I use C, CosRx 96, moisturizer then sunscreen. Hope this helps?

[@ymc4573]

@@rebeccadarling5894 thank you :)

[@hoodedeyemorena]

I use the 92% cream version since I prefer a thicker consistency and it doubles as an eye cream for me too, not much difference from the essence. Sometimes I even apply a little amount of it on papercuts or popped pimple and they heal overnight! Amazing stuff, snail mucin. Lab Muffin Beauty Science loves it too 🐌

[@saramartin1116]

I love it!! At first I wasn’t wowed when I used it as a serum but now that I’m using it just after shower when the skin is damp… it’s surprising how it moisturizes my skin! That’s another use for the ones that don’t like that tacky feeling… I’m on my fifth bottle. Thanks for another amazing video, Alice!!!

This product is a game changer. I’ve only been using it on my VERY oily skin (but not acne prone at all), but it’s given my skin and incredible glow. It’s also pretty much stopped the dryness I get from my Tret, so that’s been incredible. I could not live without this product now.

[@peggysuemartinez9449]

[@amandam6901]

Been using it for years too! I use it am and pm every day, it goes on after serum/liquid texture products and before moisturizer. No trouble on my oily skin from it either.. I swear it also helps sunburn heal quicker when the occasional one happens.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I don’t doubt that at all - one of the studies I found specifically looked at snail mucus on burn wounds, and yep, it healed faster! Incredible stuff, I’ll never be without it!!

[@veronicavargas6895]

I have very difficult skin same as you dry & prone to acne, so I’m always using different products on my skin care, trying to deal with my acne and dry skin, & I love how wonderful works with any products, so I can used at night or during the day, I came across this product because of your recommendation & I have really enjoyed, thank you, you are truly a gift.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Ah so happy to hear!! And what’s very nice about this product is that even 4 years later, it gives me the same results. You know how some products seem great in the beginning, but over time seem underwhelming? This is not that story lol. Happy to hear you’re enjoying it! 🥰

[@Oneiropolos]

I tried this product because of you and man, it makes SUCH a difference on my skin. I think I'm literally still on the first bottle of it even though it's been a year. It's finally getting a little low but it's INSANE how long it lasts for me. Lately, my skin care routine staples have been Hanskin Bubblepop cleanser, Beauty of Josean's Bubble Toner, and Cosrx snail essence. Occasionally, there's additions depending on time of month or just sudden concerns, but those three as my 'core' have just given me much better control of my acne. Other products may come and go but I'm not sure I'm ever willing to lose those - particularly the latter two.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Ohhh those are two favorites!! I feel like they’re very potent products in a non-irritating way. It’s kind of rare as potent typically means “15% AHA!”, whereas these are ..hmm..sensitive-skin-potent? I might have to try the hanskin given your other favs 🤔

[@brandip3335]

I tried the line in the travel size kit. I find the essence is very necessary during lady time, when my skin won't act right for my usual routine. So I kind of only use it a few days a month. But I really fell in love with the cleanser. It takes off makeup so good. And the clean, not stripped, no residue feeling is amazing.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oh interesting. I may have to give the cleanser a try!

[@rachelw2646]

As someone with oily skin, I love the Cosrx product. Actually love the consistency and skins in quickly for me with no tackiness. I use 2 pumps am and pm. The size is amazing. Definitely going to be a staple in my routine.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Thanks for sharing! So good to hear it’s great on oily skin as well 😃💕

I’ve also spotted it online at Marshall’s/TJ Maxx for less than Ulta/Korean site prices 😎. As someone who has a snail phobia, I find it interesting that this doesn’t make me squeamish at all. It’s just such a different thing coming from a plastic bottle in my clean snail-free bathroom cabinet. 🤔😆 Hugs, Alice 💞

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

[@zarafuerstein1012]

Yesssssss 🥰 I’m obsessed with this thing:) I also use it with my beauty roller, it glides so nicely. I was doing that while watching this video ….

[@PammyCosmetix]

I loved this video, thank you gorgeous! I have 4 pumps of the snail96 every night after I use my essence, essentially as an “essence topper“. I have combo acne prome skin, and combining this with green tea, mugwort, ginseng- it works wonders, my inflammation is barely there :) I love the texture and the way it sinks in. Been loving all of your videos 🥰

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I do that often too - in fact just this AM, I did the primera essence followed by this. Such a hydrating combo! And yep, those are some of the best ingredients 😍

[@masonjeq4261]

I feel like this soaks in so well after 30 seconds that I never actually worried about putting actives under it, but I'll have to give that a try for effectiveness. Kind of random sub-question on that, but I overthought the issue since I tend to use encapsulated retinol immediately after the snail essence in my night routine. Do you think encapsulation of an active impacts the suggested order of layering products? I know they say the encapsulation tends to act as a time release, so I could see order mattering far less as long as an occlusive layer was placed over the active. Also I agree with you on what makes the product valuable. I don't feel the essence is moisturizing in any way despite being tacky, and I wouldn't classify it as typical hydration, but it seems to improve overall skin health in a healing fashion. I know I said I don't classify it as typically hydrating, but the correction is almost like the difference between dehydrated skin and regular skin or correcting the feeling you get with a very minor sunburn. I often feel like actives can tax the skin or skin barrier and this helps gently mitigate those effects without having any substantial impact of its own.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I’d say to give it a try! Most of why I’m so convinced on actives first is my own experience; add to that seeing multiple comments in agreement. It feels like a consensus that layering in this order gives a slight edge! But on that note, I also think there is a bit more of a spectrum of effectiveness with these conversations. I see a lot of “x cancels out y” type of mentality with skincare. Usually there is much more of a gradient with effectiveness (good example: the well-known buffering of retinoids). And goodness yes, it’s absolutely wonderful with retinoids (or other actives). I think, in short, it’s an excellent restorative and anti-inflammatory product 😃

[@Srimati4571]

Tried this recently after overuse of retinals and aha/bha acids made my skin look blah. moisturizers and HA serums weren’t helping. I Just borrowed some of daughters mucin essence and after a day my skin looks happier and dewy again. Will be adding this to my routine.

I love the Cosrx snail mucin. When I first started using it, I did find it a bit difficult to move past the "this is snail snot!" thing. I still get a bit of a yucky feeling if I get it on my lips. However, I just find it so hydrating. When I first got it, I rubbed it on the back of my hand and my skin looked so good, so quickly! I was sold. I would love your guidance on how to use it with Tretinoin. I do get dry patches when I use Tretinoin. I can only really use it a couple of times a week. What I do now is to make sure that the morning after I use snail mucin and plenty of moisturiser, and I do that every morning and night between my Tretinoin use. Is there a more effective way to use snail mucin to alleviate the Tretinoin effects do you think?

I use it at night--adapalene or olay retinol serum (I alternate), then a soothing serum, the snail cream, then a rich moisturizer. I also have dry acne-prone skin (but also 50 years old and fairly sun damaged), and I have just gone through a phase of veering from one extreme to the next trying to prevent breakouts and drying out. So I've been trying to focus more on my skin barrier.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

That sounds like an excellent night routine to me! And yeah, i think our skin type means we have to dedicate extra time to the aspect of repair. It’s a bit more challenging (no question about that!), but you covered the bases I would: retinoids, soothing, protection!

[@kimberlykefalas9563]

@@AliceintheRabbitHole Well, your channel has been a big help in helping me find products that are maybe better than the ones I started with (or as good but less expensive). So thank you! It really makes a difference when you watch someone with your skin type.

[@kaylasederski4558]

Definitely want to try this. Can you do a comparison between this toner and the peach slices snail rescue?

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

The peach slices is really nice as well, and less goopy/more runny? Which I think could be preferable for some, depending on how you feel about the slime texture haha!

HolA, yo he criado caracoles y cuando tenia algún grano pasaba su baba por allí y se me bajaba la inflamación. Supongo que la mucina de caracol sea de los huevos que ponen. Los huevos los ponen fuera del agua en forma de bolsa y si la rompes sale la sustancia viscosa, supongo que sea eso lo que utilicen..

Wish I could enjoy. It’s like the only thing I’m allergic to.

Hi Alice, How do you treat your Dehydrated skin? Products you have used. 😊

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Dehydrated and dry skin are different: dry skin is a skin type, dehydrated is lacking water on a more temporary basis. So while I don’t have personal experience with dehydrated skin, in general I’d say to go with hydrating ingredients- humectants, ceramides, etc. Any of the restorative products will be great here: this product, Stratia Liquid Gold, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream!

[@EvangelistHeman]

Which goes first niacinamide or snail mucin.. will we get max benefits on layering

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

I do: serum then snail mucin (almost like a second serum for me). But I think you can do whatever works best for you tbh!

Hello

[@Skincareslug]

It burns my skin for some reason. But I use the eye cream everyday and have used the cream with no problems. Skincare man it's like gambling lol you spend money and hope it pays off. Lol

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing though, and lol yeah, that’s so true!

[@DrJayashreeRamana]

It turns out I am the only one allergic to it. I don't know why my skin did not like it.

[@AliceintheRabbitHole]

You’re not the only one! I suspect it’s that shellfish/dust mite crossover. Those are somewhat more common allergies, so I actually suspect it’s a fairly good amount of people who share your allergy!

[@DrJayashreeRamana]

@@AliceintheRabbitHole Right!

[@celiareed1402]

CosRx has refused third party inspections of their snail farm. No need to assure people the snails are not harmed if they could show it. 🐌

Ugh did they?? Was it the ye olden “proprietary information” excuse?

Same. Every single time I try it (just in case the last breakout was a fluke 🙄)

Aww 🥺 yeah sadly it’s not the most rare allergy
