What's up everyone!
Since I get a lot of request and question about this product on my instagram, @elyayaa. Finally I have time to write the full review of Cosrx snail essence that I have been using since last year and this is already my second bottle of the product because I get positive result with this.
This is actually the first Cosrx product that I'm willing to repurchase despite I have tried several of their product and I could say, I can't life without this product since I have combo skin that tend to be very dry, and I'm also suffering dry acne/ bumps which will appear if I'm not moisturizing my skin seriously. So, dry skin, acne/bumps and acne skin are definitely my enemy right now.

Ingredients:
Snail Secretion Filtrate, Betaine, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Arginine, Allantoin, Ethyl Hexanediol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Carbomer, Phenoxyethanol
Packaging
It's packaged in sturdy transparent plastic bottle with pump. I like it when the cosmetic company keep their packaging as simple as Cosrx product. It also comes in handy shape because the using of pump make the product easier to use and more hygienic.
Texture and Scent
Scent: It doesn't have any smell. Also no perfume added in the ingredients.
Texture: The snail essence doesn't have any colour on it. The consistency of this essence is similar with snail slime. Slimy, gooey and kind of syrupy. But don't worry, even thought it has thicker consistency than other essence, as it's a water based product, it absorbs quite fast to the skin. Leaving the skin hydrate without making it greasy. I usually use it after my hydrating toner, I use 3 pumps for the whole face and neck. I like to wait around 2 minutes for the formula till it absorbs fully to the skin and I will continue to the next skincare step.
My Thought
Honestly, I'm a little bit scared with product with snail ingredients on it because in the past I was having bad experience with skincare and makeup that have snail mucin on it. I was breaking out so badly because the product doesn't work on my skin and since that times, it makes me very careful to try snail product. But curiosity always win, finally I gather up my courage to try the most hype snail product from Cosrx. Cosrx Advanced Snail 96% Mucin Power Essence. thankfully, my skin love this...
From my experience using this product, I could notice my skin improvement after using this product religiously for around 2 months. The first skin improvement that easily notice is, it's hydrate skin very well, make my skin plumper and smoother without making the skin become oilier. It helps my dry skin to retain moisture. The second improvement that I could see is...whenever I get acne, this product helps to soothe and heal it, making the scar not become darken or become hole in my skin, but it makes the acne scar lighten.
Overall
I'm falling in love with this product! Duh! It has such a short ingredients but it works amazingly on my dry skin as additional hydrating product that also healing and soothing. Completing my skincare staple. It also has such a big amount for an essence that usually comes in 30ml that last for 3 months, but this product with 100ml, a little goes a long way. Also, the price tag is win. It's very worth every penny.
I would like recommend this product for any skin type out there especially if you have dry or prone to acne. This product will help in healing the acne scar and improve the skin texture.
