COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence 100ml

Ingredients and their roles

• Snail secretion filtrate: A skin-conditioning ingredient that contributes moisture and the characteristic slip of snail-focused skincare.
• Panthenol: A moisture-supporting ingredient that helps keep the skin feeling soft and comfortable during cosmetic care.
• Betaine: A moisture-binding ingredient that complements the formula's other humectants and helps maintain a comfortable feel.
• Sodium hyaluronate: A salt of hyaluronic acid used for moisture retention, contributing to the formula's hydrating feel.
• Allantoin: A skin-conditioning ingredient used to support a softer, more comfortable skin feel.
• Butylene glycol: A solvent and humectant that helps distribute ingredients through the formula and contributes to moisture retention.

The essence in the Advanced Snail routine

Snail secretion filtrate is the first ingredient in this essence, with betaine, sodium hyaluronate, allantoin and panthenol also listed. The stretchy texture spreads with a light patting motion. Use it before cream, leaving a moment for the layer to settle instead of repeatedly rubbing over the same area.

A separate essence step

This COSRX essence sits between cleansing and your finishing cream. An essence is useful when you want to adjust the hydration layer without replacing the moisturiser you already like. Spread it gently and allow the surface to settle before applying the next product, especially when your routine ends with makeup.

How to use

After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount on your entire face. Gently pat using fingertips to aid absorption, and then go forth with your moisturizers

Use clean palms to distribute the essence across the face. Concentrate on even coverage rather than a thick wet layer. If you use a toner as well, apply the lighter liquid first unless the directions for this formula specify a different sequence.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same product as Snail 92 Cream?

No. Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is the essence step. Snail 92 All In One Cream is a separate moisturiser, which can follow when your routine calls for both products.

Should I use a toner as well?

A separate toner is optional. With this essence, choose the number of layers according to your routine and skin comfort; repeating similar hydration steps is not necessary for everyone.

Do I rinse the essence off?

Follow the directions below for this essence. A leave-on essence stays on the skin before moisturiser; it should not be used as a cleansing product or rubbed away with a towel.
