Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence Review ... Does The Snail Ever Fail?
The first time someone suggested to me to use snail mucin in my #skincare routine I was like WTF!? I don't want to put snail secretions on my face! That's just gross! Well little did I know at the time that snail slime had many great benefits in it. Snail mucin naturally has antimicrobial properties in it that make it a great acne fighter. It also contains glycolic acid which is great at removing dead skin cells. Snail mucin has been proven to improve the skin's texture, elasticity, and overall quality. A lot of Korean's actually prefer it over retinol and glycolic acid serums. So with all the snail products out there which one is the best? I recommend the Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence.
The Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence has a powerful concentrate of snail mucin at 96%. If you want as close to pure snail slime as possible then this is the product for you! The full ingredients list includes the following: Snail Secretion Filtrate, Betaine, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Arginine, Allantoin, Ethyl Hexanediol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Carbomer, and Phenoxyethanol. The product comes in a plastic bottle with a pump on it. It's texture can be defined as slimy and syrupy. It is very thick! It's color is as clear as water and it absorbs very easily. Before I talk about my thoughts on the product lets first talk about the best way to use it within your #skincare routine.
HOW DO YOU USE IT?
NOTE: This should be step 4 of your morning #skincare routine. ONLY use this product in the morning!
1. I recommend using this product as a part of a cocktail. Vitamin C serum is my recommendation for you morning #skincare routine and mixing it with snail will help it absorb better. It essentially makes your serum more effective. Fill the provided syringe of the Seoul Ceuticals Day Glow Vitamin C Serum 1/3 the way up and then pour it out into the palm of your hand.
2. Do 2 pumps of Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence into your palm.
3. Take a dime-sized amount of the Vitamin Shoppe Vitamin C Crème and then mix it into the cocktail by rubbing the hands together.
4. Apply the cocktail to the face and neck using upward swiping motions. Do circular rubbing motions on the places of the face that need the most treatment. Pat/press against the face to help the remaining serum absorb.
MY RESULTS!
So I have been using this product as part of my #skincare routine for well over a year. There was a 3 month period that I went without it and boy could I tell a difference. This product really does something special to the texture of the face. It's simply incredible! I could say without a doubt that my face was more even toned and smooth when using this product versus when I wasn't. It works well as a stand alone and it works well as a cocktail. No matter which way you use it you will see results.
In closing, I would say that I never thought in a million years I would be slapping snail sludge on my face. I guess I have to thank the Korean's for being adventurous enough to think this up. The truth is that there's no reason you shouldn't use this product. It's affordable, it doesn't smell, and it's effective! If you want your face to have a smoother texture then you need to add the Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence to your #skincare routine.
