COSRX Snail Mucin Repairing Serum 100ml, Hydrating Serum for Face with Snail Secretion Filtrate for Dull Skin & Fine Lines, Korean Skin Care by COSRX

This is one of my holy grail skin products. Once you see results you really can get past the fact that, yes this is in fact snail mucus. I was initially a little grossed out or unsure but this product is odourless, clear, and slippery more than sticky.

I use intense actives in my face and I find this product really helps lock in hydration and my skin is a lot more clear using it. I’ve read hyaluronic acid should be just as good but when I switched to HA serums instead of this I felt like my skin was a bit drier and flakier. I have gotten several friends hooked on this, I strongly recommend it.

I was worried about cruelty to snails and how was this harvested. I watched a video where the snails crawl over a netting and it lets the slime drip down so while I don’t think it’s the most humane snail habitat it was not as cruel as I had feared

As a 47-year-old man who never gave skincare a second thought until I started noticing aging lines, I was initially skeptical about starting any routine – let alone using something with “snail mucin” in the name. However, after trying various brands ranging from budget to high-end options over the past year, I can confidently say that COSRX Snail Mucin is one of the best hydrating formulas on the market. The results speak for themselves: my facial skin has significantly improved in elasticity and overall appearance, looking more youthful and healthy. While the slightly sticky texture took some getting used to at first, it dries relatively quickly and leaves my skin feeling genuinely soft and well-hydrated without any greasy residue. I’ve also noticed it effectively diminishes red spots and irritation. For any middle-aged men who are hesitant about skincare like I was, this product is an excellent starting point that delivers real, visible results.

**Pros:**
• Outstanding hydration that delivers noticeable improvements in skin elasticity and appearance
• Proven results over long-term use – significant improvement visible after one year
• Non-greasy formula that absorbs well and won’t leave you feeling oily
• Effectively reduces red spots and skin irritation
• Dries relatively quickly despite initial tackiness
• Excellent value compared to expensive alternatives with similar or inferior results
• Perfect entry point for men new to skincare routines
• Leaves skin feeling genuinely soft and moisturized

**Cons:**
• Initial texture may feel slightly sticky or unfamiliar to skincare newcomers
• The name “snail mucin” might sound off-putting to some users

I have never had glassy skin before, but now I do! My skin looks glassy and glowy in a healthy way. It provides the perfect amount of moisture while adding all the other related benefits. My acne is also so much better. Not only is it effective but this stuff lasts forever. I always grab some when it’s on sale. I like the thicker version too when I need an extra boost of hydration overnight.

I’ve been using the COSRX Snail Mucin Repairing Serum (100ml) for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best hydrating serums I’ve tried. The texture is lightweight but still feels nourishing, and it absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue. It gives my skin a healthy, dewy glow and helps calm irritation and redness.

After consistent use, my skin feels softer, smoother, and more plump. It also layers well under moisturizer or makeup, which is a big plus. The snail mucin does a great job at repairing and soothing damaged or dry skin.

The only minor downside is that it can feel a bit slimy at first, but that goes away within seconds once it’s absorbed. Overall, it’s a fantastic serum for hydration, barrier repair, and glow, definitely worth repurchasing.

It’s ok it’s a little weird. But it’s not smelly or sticky and it doesn’t make my face feel great.
