COSRX Snail Mucin Essence 96
The Snail Mucin Essence 96 is COSRX's Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, one of the most renowned essences in Korean skincare. Its formula contains 96.3% snail secretion filtrate along with sodium hyaluronate, betaine, allantoin, and panthenol.
Its light gel texture is easily absorbed and can be used morning and night, after cleansing and toning, as a pre-moisturizer step. It is a common formula in routines aimed at hydration and skin barrier care.
Results backed by the brand
According to a clinical study by COSRX conducted by the Dermacosmetic Skin Science Laboratory in Korea with 20 adult participants, Snail Mucin Essence 96 showed a 196% increase in skin hydration, a 35% increase in natural radiance, and an 80% reduction in visible redness after use. As this study was conducted and funded by the manufacturer with a small sample size, it should be presented as an informative reference and not as a guarantee of individual results.
The snail secretion filtrate acts as a humectant and antioxidant in the formula, and is combined with sodium hyaluronate to enhance the feeling of hydration. Independent scientific evidence on snail mucin in humans is still limited, so no cosmetic product should be presented as a substitute for dermatological treatment.
How to use it
- Cleanse your face and apply your usual toner.
- Dispense 2–3 pumps of Snail Mucin Essence 96 onto the palm of your hand.
- Apply to face and neck with small taps of your fingertips.
